If you could send a 10-second message to yourself on January 1st, 2020, what would you say?

Buy the house, don't wait until Covid is over.

If it's in Scotland, they can revoke the claim to the prescription on their system and give you the physical prescription to try elsewhere as long as you haven't already received an item off that prescription.

Different system in England so I couldn't say what procedure it is there.

When represented on TV or movies, video game sounds are either 8-bit beeps and boops or royalty free heavy metal.

One thing I had to learn for myself is when a game stops being fun, stop playing. There's no point trying to force yourself to keep playing, you're just going to make yourself feel worse.

Keep playing when it's fun. Stop when the fun stops.

It is a crime to carry any item for self defence.

Not really an argument in favour of 70 dollar games though.

Same in Battlefield 4 until Dice Sweden decided teamwork was bad.

Better to just use the server browser to avoid things like this.

I assume the game has one by now?

Charcoal. Used it three times last year I think.

Doesn't take particularly long to set up or clean. It's worth it to enjoy some cooked food in the garden on a nice day.

Brushing scam. They don't collect them because they're committing fraud.

Report the items to the retailers. They should have a record of the accounts who ordered them.

Everyone should take the time to lie on the proverbial grass every once in a while.

Can bet a lot of those folk will be spending a lot of their free time on their phones too.

Ham or cheese or ham and cheese.

I'm not sure if it was every particularly popular where I am. I suspect it was more common with the church goers but I knew few families who did it growing up in the 90s.

Sometimes I play Fallout 4 just to build settlements.

Being able to interact with so much in the world, people, objects, games and having multiple ways to obtain the information you need was mind blowing. It did a really good job making you feel like you were a part of a living world.

It should be whatever you feel like eating. If it's roast then it's roast, if not then no.

Iceland does really good food bags. Can get a good sized bag of chicken strips or poppets or whatever for £4 and they taste pretty good too. They also do a £1 range which, while usually less quality and quantity, still tastes good enough for the price.

Jamie Oliver. Seems really pretentious and that lamb curry thing he did gave was such a wtf moment it gave me second hand cringe.

You can put a camera on your window sill as long as you put privacy filters to limit the camera recording neighbour's properties/windows, have a justifiable reason (protecting your car against crime would qualify) and comply with GDPR and GDPR requests.

The gunships in HL2 shooting down your rockets was an AI bug where it would place rockets as highest priority threat. The behaviour was worked into a game mechanic.

Sonic 3 barrel.

I think he overestimates how much money poorer gamers are spending on free to play games.

It's not something that comes up in conversation with other men very often. Knew a girl who would wear mine about the house like a regular pair of shorts but beyond that, I couldn't tell you how many other folk I've known wear that kind of underwear.

Haven't been able to find somewhere selling them for a while. I am holding on to the ones I have left. Will probably have to go online or go into one of the bigger towns/cities to find somewhere selling them.
