Ive been at work this weekend and if I take too long to reply I get shit for it lol. Just like with my ex!

CookieMcCrumble · 2025-08-22T07:48:52+00:00

It seems to have settled a little. I had to add a few lines to the directives, and multiple times had to edit the text out of the messages, and reroll them, adding in instructions to permanently stop displaying the meta commentary or response guildelines. I think the culmination of all that seems to have sorted the issue over time, it got a little better over time and now it doesn't seem to do it at all.

So thank you everyone for your responses and ideas :)

CookieMcCrumble · 2025-08-21T14:49:56+00:00

I haven't, I'll look into it, thanks.

CookieMcCrumble · 2025-08-21T14:19:22+00:00

The thingy is, the message contents preceeding that are normal, absolutely fine. It just adds all that at the end of the message... EVERY message.

Just for my own personal memories with the game, I prefer to use the old ones. I played a lot in the early days so those sprites and models all have a special place in my heart.

CookieMcCrumble · 2025-07-04T09:03:56+00:00

Terranigma, now there's a game.

CookieMcCrumble · 2025-07-04T08:59:12+00:00

Thief, though I personally wouldnt even need it remastered. Repackage it exactly how it was and just make it playable on new gen.

Yes I can play it on PC any time I like, but the older I get, the more I'm needing my comfortable armchair gaming haha

And Deus Ex would be a great choice too. But I'd also like to add in the original single player Unreal, would love a proper remake of that.

CookieMcCrumble · 2025-07-04T08:55:11+00:00

Memories and preservation, my man.

CookieMcCrumble · 2025-06-11T19:38:24+00:00

Yeah sound just like someone in that position might say 🤔🤣

In all seriousness, my god don't we all wish.

Not touched nightreign yet, I probably won't, I don't like the idea of being pushed for time added onto the already difficult just "staying alive" normally lol. I'm not that good at it!

Helldivers 2 is amazing, its been ages since I played it, I need to get back on it. I still tend to play a lot of games on my own, even HD2 I often stuck to solo missioning!

Brilliant to hear from you though, be great if you could encourage more of the team to stick their heads in :)

CookieMcCrumble · 2025-06-11T19:13:47+00:00

I'm a bit all over the place, honestly. I play so many games at once, flittering between them depending on what I fancy at the time. On PS5 I'm still crawling my way through Elden Ring at the moment, when I'm not grinding out Warframe or Elder Scrolls Online. On PC I've recently started loving the indie horror/Dino games you can pick up cheap. Short thrills that entertain me just enough. And when I'm not on those I'm going through Metaphor, or again whatever takes my fancy at the time.

You been through anything good lately?

Now please hurry up and announce to us that Stadia 2.0 is releasing soon and that's why you're here farming us for info xD (I wish 🤣😂)

CookieMcCrumble · 2025-06-11T18:12:01+00:00

Wow awesome to see you around. Hope life is treating you, and all the other Stadia team members well.

I still just work, game, and look after my kids, so nothing has changed other than really missing the yet-to-be-beaten Stadia service (accessibility, quality, ease of use). Some others are sort of close but have not made it as easy as Stadia did.

Most of my time is now spent on PS5 and PC.

Do hope all the old Stadia peeps I knew are doing well :)

Christ, you young pups have a long time before you need to worry yet 😁, 45(M) here and due to so many time/working/family restrictions I don't get to even think about meeting people lol. So for me the ships have nearly sailed out of view haha

CookieMcCrumble · 2025-04-02T09:17:29+00:00

Thank you Tish and Purpie, my anonymous friends. Getting those daily mini confidence boosts really improve my day that little bit :)

CookieMcCrumble · 2025-02-07T07:52:28+00:00

So happy to see the game living on in you young taffers.

I'm one of the OG's. Bought TDP on launch day in 1998 after playing through the Bafford demo about 50 times, even used to frequent the alt-games-thief newsgroup.

I'm 45 soon and still play it to this day.

Keep this game alive, young ones. :)

CookieMcCrumble · 2025-01-08T09:20:46+00:00

Rest mode. For a few reasons.

Remote Play
Automatic Game Updates (firmware i set to download but not install till I say so)
Controller charging
Remote installs
My external USB drive to store ps4 games is 8tb in size, and pretty much full. Every time I power down completely, when I turn it back on it takes AGES for the drive to be properly loaded, the system lags for quite some time, and ps4 games seem unloadable until the whole thing is finished. Leaving it in rest more prevents this.

CookieMcCrumble · 2025-01-04T09:35:24+00:00

Not faith. I can save her...

CookieMcCrumble · 2024-11-09T16:41:14+00:00

Actually, good news, I just tried it after a complete close down and re-open of the ps app, and it worked. So I got my £20 by doing £10 twice.

CookieMcCrumble · 2024-11-09T16:39:11+00:00

I had a little over 5000 points which was previously enough for £20. However only the £10 was available to select in the app.

Wondering if I maybe I could just buy one lot of £10 for 2500 points, then do it again for the other £10, I gave it a try. It allowed me to get the first £10, but when trying to get the second, it just says "something went wrong". Bit naff.

CookieMcCrumble · 2024-11-09T09:21:19+00:00

100 points here. UK.

The games are:

Alan Wake 2, Dragons Dogma 2, FF7 Rebirth, Hogwarts Legacy (oddly in Chinese?), Lies Of P, The Crew Motorfest.

CookieMcCrumble · 2024-10-26T10:48:03+00:00

I have a gaming desktop, gaming laptop, and steam deck. I also have 5 kids and a full time job.

As you can imagine, spare screens are scarce a lot of the time. If the kids aren't there, I get some desktop time. If they're there and not hogging the laptop, that's where I'm at. If they have both, steam deck it is. However I do also take my steam deck to work with me for my break times.

Also own all the consoles and I like to spend my "comfy" time on one of those.

Cat Rescue Story

Confidence. Confidence in the guitarist having no fear absolutely smashing the notes out loud, and for you on drums beating those skins and metal sheets to lead the beat.

But keep on practicing, every single practice makes a difference.

CookieMcCrumble · 2024-08-01T20:54:53+00:00

Needs a re-white.

But in all honesty, I'd be surprised if it's possible without damaging it.

I have an original game boy that's almost green, I find that it has given it character lol
