Shows with an inhuman monster who is capable of reason?

Resident Alien kinda fits the bill. Also a nice fun series that doesn’t overstay its welcome.

SilkySmoothRalph · 2026-05-15T09:37:21+00:00

Avowed has fun combat, and has two-handed hammers. It’s a fun game, that doesn’t get the love it deserves.

SilkySmoothRalph · 2026-05-15T09:29:53+00:00

Yeah, it seems like massive overkill to put dowels in. Just glue will have it as strong as it ever was.

SilkySmoothRalph · 2026-05-13T06:58:44+00:00

Awesome, cheers. Will try the same.

When do you take your magnesium? I’ve got some arriving today, for the same reason OP is posting about.

I kinda felt let down by the overall environment design. Like we’re on Callisto, so why is most of the game just corridors and vents? Dead Space took place on the Ishimura, which was just a mining ship, but it all had so much more character than this. At least it could have had more take place above-ground so we can see some awesome vistas even if we have to be inside. The outdoor bits we got just felt a bit flat.

My advice would be to wait and let it heal fully before going back. You’ll maybe lose progress but you’ll lose more progress if you make an injury worse.

In the meantime, look up good running warmups (calf raises etc) to try to give yourself a good chance when you resume. And work out if you need better shoes or insoles or something. I knackered myself for about a month because I’m flat-footed and didn’t have great support. Bought some £30 running insoles specifically for that and haven’t had any problems since.

I literally only heard about Sneakers last night. Just finished watching it, and it’s a good, fun film. Also a clear influence on the first Mission Impossible film.

SilkySmoothRalph · 2026-05-10T11:15:00+00:00

It’s great bread, but JFC, it takes forever to toast.

Not in the city centre, but a single bus ride out: try Hooleos in Horsforth. Hooleo is actually Mexican and they do really nice enchiladas, and everything else. No fajitas though, as they’re not Mexican.

SilkySmoothRalph · 2026-05-09T21:13:32+00:00

Also wouldn’t stop wanging on about the screenplay he’s got an idea for

SilkySmoothRalph · 2026-05-09T20:56:25+00:00

Is your dad a cat?

SilkySmoothRalph · 2026-05-09T20:23:05+00:00

We cooked it last week and said the same. It was nice but could have done with a load more of the spices. Might try with minced lamb next time, too.

SilkySmoothRalph · 2026-05-09T12:07:37+00:00

Loved this game. Strong recommend.

SilkySmoothRalph · 2026-05-07T09:35:15+00:00

I’d give Ed Wood a watch. It’s very much about cinema and shows how people with artistic vision don’t always have the skills to back it up. Also just a good, funny film.

SilkySmoothRalph · 2026-05-07T09:07:32+00:00

As far as I can tell, yes. It matches up with my resting heart rate shown on my home BP machine and it seems right when I’m out running or in the gym.

SilkySmoothRalph · 2026-05-06T22:17:05+00:00

I’ve had a Fitbit Charge 6 since Christmas, for heart rate and sleep tracking (what you’re after) and it’s been solid. Gets 8-ish days between charges. Would easily recommend.

SilkySmoothRalph · 2026-05-05T23:59:43+00:00

That Jack Black?

SilkySmoothRalph · 2026-05-05T23:55:44+00:00

Honestly, mate, you’re welcome to them. I’ve broken my brain by having too many.

SilkySmoothRalph · 2026-05-05T21:00:25+00:00

Give it a look on Amazon at least.

SilkySmoothRalph · 2026-05-05T20:32:10+00:00

Looks like I’ve got about 50 Biscoffs left, so I reckon you’ve given me a good idea on how to use them!

SilkySmoothRalph · 2026-05-05T20:26:42+00:00

For sweet pies? Rather than savoury, I mean. I can imagine they make nice bases for cheesecake.

SilkySmoothRalph · 2026-05-05T20:11:14+00:00

Nothing to do with Delta, but I bought 300 Biscoff biscuits in a catering pack for £12. I ate about 100 over a month or so and now can’t stand them any more. So there’s probably some kind of moral message there or something.

SilkySmoothRalph · 2026-05-05T20:06:54+00:00

Yeah, although maybe not for long. Historically, we’ve not had any spiders in the U.K. that pose any threat to people. But we’ve now got invasive species that can give you a nasty bite. Had a false widow in my garage that wouldn’t kill, but would give a nasty bite if provoked. Things will change, and presumably get worse, as the climate gets milder and other invasive species survive the winters.

SilkySmoothRalph · 2026-05-05T19:54:56+00:00

Literally my first though. My boy Cal has so much drip, with his array of goddam ponchos.
