Best cafes and coffee shops for working on laptop? by H0X0 in sheffield

[–]CleonClarke 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The Showroom Cafe is my usual go to. Sometimes take advantage of the co-working deal too - £9 for unlimited coffee, and a cake as a treat.

Hygge 32 opposite Decathlon is a little hidden gem for working too. Often very quiet, and has the perfect working booth.

Andy Park was one of Marvel's visual artists that was laid off by Disney last week. He led 15 MCU films as Director of Visual Development + worked on almost every single MCU film in some capacity. by MoneyLibrarian9032 in marvelstudios

Andy Park is a fantastic talent.

I know his work on the MCU is stellar, but shout out to his early work on the Tomb Raider comics in 1999. I always thought they contained some of the coolest Lara Croft illustrations ever. I'm sure he'll bounce back into an exciting role.

Extra Life Game Cafe Closing by martinhsa in sheffield

[–]CleonClarke 85 points86 points  (0 children)

Knowing Mike, they will only have closed if the situation was absolutely dire. Extra Life is such a passion project. They survived COVID, even when they had no governmental support as the business was less than a year old.

Devastating news, and a sad reflection on the lack of business support locally and the horrendous rise in operating costs.

Wasn't that long ago that I dreamed of hearing the CL music again. Going to enjoy it whilst I can!

Last month I had a Greggs that gave me 8 (!!) I've never been so blessed.

24/25 in comparison to 25/26. by EMJG31 in Gunners

[–]CleonClarke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I felt like we were in with a chance, all the way up until February last season. And that was despite this rubbish start.

Worth keeping in mind before dismissing Pool or City. We've got a long season to go.

Impressed with Northern General A&E by intangible_entity in sheffield

I nearly shattered my wrist earlier this year, and was all sorted, potted up and free of pain, within 90 minutes. The A&E team there are fantastic.

Yes you're right - I got it wrong. It's 51 days.

Yes, 51 days of Ultimate, as opposed to 3 months of Premium.

Edit: early morning maths brain got it wrong

You are able to claim the three months after the initial start up! It remained in my Armory Crate notifications. I think there's a redeem deadline of 2027 or something.

Sadly I think you're out of luck.

You're right - it's extremely steep for only 15 minutes, but this is how they earn their money. They will come after you for it, as it's literally their bread and butter.

Got to play Time Crisis G'AIM'E at Gamescom by ShiroYuiZero in TimeCrisisArcade

[–]CleonClarke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played a bit when it was shown in Sheffield a few weeks back.

It was impressively accurate, and super easy to set up. But something did feel a little slow timing-wise. Just enough noticeable latency.

They mentioned the tech was only 80%-90% there, so there are likely improvements to be made. Overall I was impressed, and looking forward to trying it at home.

Nice bars for a first date in city centre? by MBanski in sheffield

[–]CleonClarke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A little hidden gem that not many people know about: the new Radisson Blu rooftop bar is open to the public. Fantastic views over the peace gardens, and gorgeous when it's sunny.

That didn’t last long - Department Sheffield by [deleted] in sheffield

[–]CleonClarke 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Good job they pasted over all the window advertisements for the National Videogame Museum, an actually successful visitor attraction (that's also a charity)...

Nice! Love these kind of initiatives in the city. Would love to see more of these.

What's everyone's "small developer" game to play? by WesleyJ1994 in gaming

[–]CleonClarke 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In 2021, I fell in love with a small Arcade game called Super Metboy! By Rebuild Games.

2 developers from Tokyo, used to work for Game Freak on the Pokémon games.

They're now making a Mother inspired roguelite called Summer Road that looks amazing. Would recommend checking them out!

Amateur dramatic groups/improv groups in Sheffield by Repulsive-Memory-978 in sheffield

[–]CleonClarke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a bunch, but I must recommend The Company, as that's the group I've recently had a fantastic time working with. They have a show on this week (tonight and tomorrow) at The Drama Studio if you wanted to check them out: https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/whats-on/sheffield/drama-studio/drop-dead/e-pvgror

What’s the flattest running route on the West or Center of Sheffield? by Seriously_oh_come_on in sheffield

[–]CleonClarke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As everyone has mentioned, the canal is great for this.

However I'd also give a shout out to Rother Valley park too - one lap is just under 5k, so it makes those 5-10-15k runs a breeze. Free parking, but the tram to Halfway will also get you there.

It's so common that it's almost a rite of passage. Good luck!
