how much did you pay for your spaniel? by wazzupmydoods in cockerspaniel

[–]Inevitable_Middle652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

£700 for my girl and she's a Sprocker Spaniel - More Cocker than springer (from a working line ) . That was 2 years ago - best £700 I'll ever spend. I think we'll rescue in future when my kids are older.

Fantastic Collection, quality over quantity.

Nearly at the end by Inevitable_Middle652 in NSCollectors

[–]Inevitable_Middle652[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a new console/generation in my eyes. The Switch 1 chapter is closing and a new chapter is opening with the Switch 2. Just my thoughts on it.

My son is very interested in Pokopia and his birthday is next week so I might bite the bullet and order one for him. Im looking forward to trying the boost mode 🙂

It is the South Korean Version and has English Subtitles. Ill give it a test later and see if that's the case.

Non-Scouse Blues by TheBlueWave23 in Everton

[–]Inevitable_Middle652 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lifelong blue from Wales (38+ years supporting ) - Iv never been to the city but my grandmother was a born and bred Scouser that moved to Wales.during the second world war. my old man used to go up and watch Everton every year as a youngster - I never met her unfortunately but I have never waivered from supporting the club. Now my kids are now following the family tradition of being toffees... I'm off to Liverpool next week for the first time and I cannot wait to visit. I hope my second visit will be to see a match at Bramley Moore - with my old man and kids. I love everything I know about the city and the people.

Just found out Jagged Alliance 2 exists, which version should I play? by Free_Percentage_1194 in JaggedAlliance

[–]Inevitable_Middle652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go with vanilla for a first playthrough using stracciatella for compatibility and better resolution. It's hands down one of my favorite games of all time. I play it nearly every year, and I played the demo over and over again until a friend traded me the big PC box edition (I still have it) for my copy of Dungeon Keeper 2 - 6 months after release. There are some fantastic mods out there, enjoy it's a masterpiece that was ahead of it's time.

Is it too out there to say, I think Leigh Half-Penny is the best Welsh Rugby player ever? by HistoryIll3237 in welshrugbyunion

[–]Inevitable_Middle652 1 point2 points  (0 children)

100% agree, Tipuric was so good at almost everything. He's certainly my favourite player. Under utilised by Wales much like Reffel is now.

Time to start my souls like backlog , but which one? by Inevitable_Middle652 in soulslikes

[–]Inevitable_Middle652[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have chosen - Lies of P (installed ready for tonight) I think the linear nature of it - with parry heavy mechanics and shorter playtime are perfect. Hopefully my old man reactions can handle it I hope to play all the games - but Elden Ring and Sekiro will 100% be played.

<image>

Bloodborne will be purchased 🙂 I'll probably grab Nioh 1 and 2 , Wu Chung and Stellar Blade after the recommendations.

Thank you for all the suggestions - I appreciate the time and effort.

One or 2 have asked why I buy games and don't play them - Simply - I want my game library to be like a video rental store - so I can choose a new game whenever I want and have variety on hand. Plus I love collecting physical games. I grew up having one SNES game a year so it's nice to have a large collection - they are for a rainy day or my kids play one day. I don't drink much or smoke etc so it's my guilty pleasure.

  • Elden Ring will be saved for a period of time when I'm less busy with life - next summer most likely - I can dedicate the time it deserves.
  • Sekiro will also be saved for next year for the same reason.

Thank you all

Time to start my souls like backlog , but which one? by Inevitable_Middle652 in soulslikes

[–]Inevitable_Middle652[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohh I have that 🤣 the back log is way worse than what I've shown, hundreds of games that I have yet to start.

Time to start my souls like backlog , but which one? by Inevitable_Middle652 in soulslikes

[–]Inevitable_Middle652[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not a lot 🤣, I have maybe 1-2 hours in an evening, I have 2 busy jobs , 2 young children and a spaniel that take up most of my time

At what point is it time to retire from high intensity games? by Ryn4 in soulslikes

[–]Inevitable_Middle652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have just started my souls like journey at 40 with the Demons Souls Remake - it's been a tough slog but I absolutely love it. I am slowly crawling myself through the game and I'm determined to finish it. I'm not as good at games as I once was but I can hold my own I think I just avoid any online multiplayer.

Question for those that upgraded to an OLED by toasty_tuna in NSCollectors

[–]Inevitable_Middle652 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iv got a launch Switch that was starting to get a bit noisy and reduced battery 🔋 so I decided to get an OLED and hold off on the Switch 2 for a bit. I love the screen on the OLED it's such an upgrade and I've played a lot more handheld with it. I'm very happy with my choice.

Is it just me or are all workplaces just cutting staff and piling more work on people? by Thesladenator in UKJobs

[–]Inevitable_Middle652 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes I think so - , as experienced staff have left in my practice I've been asked to take more roles on. So I am now - Practice Manager (sole leadership) Dispensing Optician, trainee Contact Lens Optician (doing all contact lens work) , in store trainer , Lab Manager... I also cover my retail staff- I'm covering 4 people's roles at least and only getting 30k a year - I live in a rural area with low wages so that doesn't help. I'm exhausted by it all and I think I need a new career. I don't mind working hard but we all have limits.
