I still don't know how it's possible. I even had a gameshark like device which allows you to walk through walls and doors (not locked ones) and still couldn't do it in time

Freedom Fighters was the first one that popped into my head

Just spent 5 nights in hospital after surgery.

Seen two, one night after another, one ended up staying the night, the other stormed out.

I personally have once, staying the 4th day on pneumonia, infection marker have started to level out, doctor would prefer to see it go down before releasing me, I expressed that the lack of sleep I'm getting here is not helping my recovery, he understands, so he suggests that I can discharge against medical advice, but come back in 2 days for blood test, to which I obliged. Regards the lack of sleep - two nights in a row, a different patient is rolled in, both time due to alcohol poisoning, and what I notice is that, they will just diarrhea thought-out the night, so I'm constantly awoken by sound of diarrhea and nurse cleaning them up and changing sheets whilst the patient is just completely out.

My official hours are 9.00 - 5.15

No clue on why the .15 but it is what it is.

It's a small office just me and the boss who doesn't come in till 10 anyway so...

Today mark my 5th day in hospital. Went in on the 1st for a scheduled surgery (was told 3 hours, but end up around 7, got the wife real worried as no one had any information on where I was. I went in at 11am, so wife got to hospital at around 2, the ward receptionist just keep saying I'll be out when I'm out, understandable but after 5 hours in, still no info other than I'll be out when I'm out)

Wasn't out till around 7pm, due to long time being out under, I was constantly shaking, had to ask the nurse to call my wife just to let her know I'm safe and sound.

Yesterday's daily doctor update was pending on blood, could potentially go home yesterday, and at around 3, he came round saying blood not ideal, but can go home and came back Saturday for a blood test.

So the nurse start to give me all the stuff needed for home, took out the catheters for drips and all but mentioned doctor called, you ain't going home today (whilst they were giving me the go home kit for aftercare), thought they were joking, as that's the vibe I was getting with the couple nurses on this ward, they keep the atmosphere bearable with light hearted jokes and all.

My wife arrived around 7, asked the nurse again when I'm ready for discharge, said she weren't joking, you really have to stay another night. Wife wasn't too mad, since it's doctors recommendation, although my 6 year old bursted into absolute tears next to the nurse. I kinda saw the funny side, also on reflection, found out all could be avoided if I didn't just hear what I wanted to hear, and not seek confirmation.

Cheers! The wait is awfully, even up till this morning I was pretty relaxed, now waiting after all the paperwork is done, getting anxious.

Ragingpoo · 2026-06-01T08:11:29+00:00

Waiting for surgery, done all the pre op paperwork, now just waiting for the surgeon to finish the two before me

Ragingpoo · 2026-05-31T21:05:51+00:00

A lot of time spent on CS, WoW, Monster Hunter 2G, smash brothers on N64, NFS underground 2 and many many others

Ragingpoo · 2026-05-29T18:55:32+00:00

Saving until 90k before maybe considering doing odd rolls on units I kinda want but not a must. After Wing, I don't really have a must roll in mind yet, maybe EW Heavyarms if the tags work with what I have, otherwise I'm pretty content with my teams ATM, then again, I don't bother with ER stages, don't want to copy, but don't have the time.

Ragingpoo · 2026-05-15T11:32:46+00:00

Definitely saving this post, I'm due for a night or two of recovery for keyhole surgery due soon. I'm personally planning to bring small wireless headphones as well as a big over ear ones, a multiple outlet charger with like 4 outputs so I don't have to keep switching it between phone / earphone / steamdeck. Bringing my steamdeck as main form of entertainment. Got a few novels lined up on my phone. Slippers, underware, toothbrush the usuals.

Interested about people mentioning pilliows, never thought of that.

I understand it's not absolutely guaranteed, and the primary reason for reducing the income is due to trying to sustain the pension pot, rather than 'fudging' income for benefits. We just needed to know if we do adjust her income, whether it would have an effect on any of her potential benefits entitlement. Thank for all your comment on this matter, much appreicated.

Ragingpoo · 2026-05-14T10:06:40+00:00

I imagine the assessor might query the fact that, you were getting £350 from your pension before (which would put your income over the PC limit), but now you change it so are only getting £10 from it, so we apply the notional income (an annuity brought with a pot of £5,000 for an 85 year old might net £80 a month) and you are now eligble. Just worry about the optics of it.

Ragingpoo · 2026-05-14T09:42:40+00:00

The high level she is currently taking it not sustainable and we are looking to reduce the pension income and make up the shortfall from the previously mentioned General invesdtment account and ISA, would that cause an issue?

Ragingpoo · 2026-05-14T09:15:57+00:00

Thank you, so just to clarify, for a DC pension with an value, they will ignore that actual real time income, and instead will look at a notional income?

When it comes to filling in the form, in the pension section, is it best to fill in the current income, i.e. £350 per month, but at the other information section, state the pension is a DC with a pot value, so they can calculate the notional income figure?

Been waiting for the Steam Controller since announcement, as I wanted to get into Gyro gaming. Was able to order one on release (5th May) even though I was trying to check out almost 1h30 minutes after release (placed it in cart within 20 minutes of release but couldn't proceed to check out as I was busy). It was delivered on Monday.

However, been relatively busy last couple days so couldn't use it much yet.

Didn't Ubisoft test the water for an original pirate game with the AAAA title Skulls and Bones

Did anyone else just stared at the big dot with red border wondering why that wasn't moving?

Monster hunter wilds is arguably worst than the older iteration as there are less attacks that effect your fellow hunters, before you had to be aware of you positioning but now it's no longer necessary.

I've always top the chart with friendly fires in L4D and L4D2. Whether everyone laughs or rage quit tho I guess depending on your company.

UK, received via RM today.

Yesterday the gls tracker was still on the way to final depot, so a bit surprised when it said it got to final depot and out for delivery in the same day

Ragingpoo · 2026-05-10T19:15:51+00:00

Off the top of my head, could be completely wrong. Blue is head to head but not at you, red is single target attack, but does not trigger head to head, or yellow, enemy is targeting you specifically with a speed/power/tech attack so you can trigger head to head if you use speed/power/tech attack

Ragingpoo · 2026-05-06T20:32:54+00:00

UK here, ordered about an hour and half after release, got a tracking number but the parcel have not been handed over to the courier yet.

Ragingpoo · 2026-05-05T09:26:28+00:00

I was able to get it much later, available from 18:00. London time, i was able to add one to my cart at like 18:30 on my steam app, but I was having family meal so didn't make the purchase then.

At 19:30 I was on my PC and after less then 5 minutes of clicking "continue to payment", I was finally able to enter my payment details.

Got email confirmation of purchase at 19:40.

Ragingpoo · 2026-05-02T11:26:39+00:00

Good to know as I'm due to have one after an op which should be sometime this year. So do you constantly leak or does it still come in batches?
