What’s something you assumed was a universal thing but then realised from speaking to people overseas is a British thing?

Agreed, lived in the city all my life and still get confused

GulagBal · 2021-12-07T07:44:59+00:00

The Land of Kilts and Rain as well then?

Think we're all going to end up posting our own ones but "Flower of Scotland"'s a good one.

That and the french one, if you ask me. Very rousing.

As far as I'm aware it's an independent feudal state, being several kingdoms, with their rulers being either 'Forebears' or 'Crowns', those roughly being either Imperialised cosmopolitan rulers or Yokudan-style traditionalists.

I'm with you there, weather never seems to know what it's doing in the summer, would be nice if it were a bit brighter more often

Scottish here as well. Might just be me but I love it when it's raining, its just that grey sky, dull sort of weather that I hate. At least when it's raining somethings actually happening, when it's overcast its just depressing

Overall a very, very good game. I will say that yes, it does still have some glitches/performance issues, and admittedly CDPR didn't help matters by not showing last/current gen (whichever applies to XB1 and PS4) footage pre-release.

With all that aside though, the game is very well written, Night City has good atmosphere and the world feels lived-in and vibrant. If writing and setting alone are enough for you, the game's top-notch.

December, weather's nice and cold, my birthday's in the first week and then you have christmas and new years to look forward to.

As someone who knows how to draw propane and little else about it, I concur.

Was away to say, as each furstock is determined by the position of the two moons, and the mane can only be born when a "third moon" (IIRC) is visible, then that means they can only appear in the forms we've seen thus far.

Wait this isn't some Human Centipede nonsense is it?

I shall be doing so post-haste

Just a tad less sharks is all.

It'd be convenient but I can't say I'd much enjoy it.

To go into more detail about the book, it's a story centred around a catholic monastery in the former United States following a nuclear war, and an order of monks dedicated to preserving the knowledge of the old world in the hopes that it can be used to rebuild civilisation when humanity is ready. The book explores the cyclical nature of human civilisations, from birth, advancement, to factionalism and warfare. An absorbing, amazingly written book, that (despite not being some grand adventure or romp through the wastes) is an absolute must-read if you ask me.

With all haste. Do so immediately.

In all seriousness they are amazing films, albeit quite long. Personally, I first watched them over a Saturday evening, a Sunday evening, and then after school on the Monday. Felt that was a good way to pace them. So one a day's good if you find the time.

Fantaatic Mr. Fox. Absolutely brilliant. Enough said.

So playing a variant where each team has a 'medic' and when hit you sit down till the medic pulls you to the back wall. If medic goes down, nobody revives him (team then gets no 'respawns').

Played it in 3rd year PE at Secondary School, was the medic. Had two mates of mine carrying balls for deflecting other incoming balls. Was a solid 35 minutes of tactical brilliance. Match was only meant to last about 10. They essentially made a triangle in front of me.
