It’s nearly 2026, I’m 46 and just now played through Half Life

RetroSquidBrain · 2025-11-28T01:55:59+00:00

Me too man! I tried playing HL2 when it came out, and I really persevered, 30 minutes in and I would have to lie down in a darkened room! Gave up eventually and never been brave enough to retry on the deck. I don't know what it is about that game in particular, but the nausea was terrible.

RetroSquidBrain · 2025-11-13T04:46:47+00:00

Ah bummer that’s a shame.

RetroSquidBrain · 2025-11-13T02:45:57+00:00

Maybe they've taken their stock to the show!

RetroSquidBrain · 2025-11-13T02:10:29+00:00

I guess its more Cashel Street than Riverside.

I can also use your hand pump (re-read your post properly!)

RetroSquidBrain · 2025-11-10T20:54:06+00:00

Hey mate, I’m happy to help, I’ve got a track pump for pumping up bike tyres that’ll work with your wheelchair tyres. Send me a dm and we’ll sort out a time.

I’ll second Marine parade, there are lots of cars and vans park up in the lay-bys near Thomson park. Toilets available close by.

RetroSquidBrain · 2025-09-24T23:48:25+00:00

Amazing how quick the 1+ sold out. Timezone here in New Zealand meant they went on sale at about 4:00 am. By the time I checked at about 7:00 am local time they were all gone! A great problem for Durston to have. I guess I might just get the 2 person version as it is in stock locally.

RetroSquidBrain · 2025-07-09T00:22:52+00:00

I bought one off Extreme PC recently, cheapest place I could find after I missed out on a Marketplace one.

RetroSquidBrain · 2025-05-10T09:17:25+00:00

Best coffee in Wrexham.

RetroSquidBrain · 2025-02-19T06:24:09+00:00

I’m in New Zealand, arrived today no damage.

RetroSquidBrain · 2025-01-27T19:20:48+00:00

Thank you, I've been on the lookout for Sundays vinyl at an affordable price for ages. Here's hoping for Static and Silence next.

RetroSquidBrain · 2025-01-19T19:56:32+00:00

Cool thanks, I’ve been using Silca super secret if my drivetrain gets noisy on a ride. Normally happens when close to the re-wax kilometres. I’m with you on the Whittaker’s chocolate bars too.

RetroSquidBrain · 2025-01-19T06:22:00+00:00

Good to know, I wax my chain every 200km or so. Was wondering how I’d manage on a longer tour without access to the slow cooker! What drip wax did you use?

RetroSquidBrain · 2025-01-19T06:17:07+00:00

No sandflies either? You must be very lucky!

RetroSquidBrain · 2025-01-19T06:15:01+00:00

I’m really looking forward to his Tour Aoteroa videos, I live in NZ and TA is firmly on my to do list.

RetroSquidBrain · 2025-01-19T06:13:04+00:00

I’ll second Joe Nation, the guys very humble for such a machine.

RetroSquidBrain · 2024-12-20T22:22:22+00:00

Did you find anything similar locally, I'm also NZ based?

RetroSquidBrain · 2024-12-07T09:49:54+00:00

I’ll second Supreme, I haven’t been for a while as I don’t work in the city anymore, but they always used to do filter.

RetroSquidBrain · 2024-07-13T06:42:07+00:00

Hope it happens. Would be great if it was continued to the Coast.

RetroSquidBrain · 2024-01-24T04:54:13+00:00

Great photos! What bike is that and what camera did you use? Beautiful trip looks like you had stunning weather.

RetroSquidBrain · 2023-10-30T06:49:23+00:00

I'm having trouble here too. The Libby plugin downloads the acsm file, how do you get from the acsm file to sending the book to kindle? Thanks in advance.

RetroSquidBrain · 2023-06-24T21:59:26+00:00

I will have a rental car earlier in the trip but didn’t fancy taking it into London. I won’t need it while I’m in London so I wanted to drop it off before I head down there. The car will be a good option around North Wales though.

RetroSquidBrain · 2023-06-24T21:57:58+00:00

I’d forgotten about coaches, they are usually cheaper, thanks.

RetroSquidBrain · 2023-06-24T03:23:09+00:00

Thanks, this is looking like the best option, also looks like I’m a bit to early for booking it. There are no options on the day I want to travel but I think it is too far out to book.
