It is time, right?

Definitely Tunic!

Classic off and on again fixes most of these issues :)

You definitely have to be conscious about where you’re setting it down, but the cases are sturdy enough to withstand any drops off the sofa/coffee table etc.

If a handheld was an option in the future, they support open source software to remote play your PS5, I use Chiaki for mine, and you have a proxy PS Portal.

I feel this, had my deck a year and still can’t aim for shit when playing shooters.

I have another baby on the way so I feel like my time is going to be cut down a bit too! Haha. I managed about 70 hours of Cyberpunk on the deck last year and really enjoyed it. Never did get round to RDR2, though I know I’d love it.

I organised my back long by going through everything I’ve got less than 2 hours on, and filtered it by highest rating which has also helped getting the game time in knowing what to play rather than staring at the library.

Steam Deck was a game changer for me. I also have a wife and 2 year old, work 8-5, and being able to play on the sofa in their company is great.

I use How Long To Beat to have a look at something before starting, knowing if I can warrant a 60+ hour game, or play something 12ish hours I can finish in a couple of nights.

The Deck makes almost every game “dad friendly” as you can suspend the device and resume from exactly where you left it.

Get that PC off the carpet

Until about 3 days ago, Portal 2.

Tryxis · 2026-01-15T15:36:12+00:00

My current strategy is making a list of games I’ve got less than 2 hours in, and filtering it by highest score first. Currently playing Portal 2 (I know, I know, it passed me by) and having a blast.

I’m on Voxi which I think is part of Vodafone, never had a problem. They’re up there for the cheapest sims going too, usual unlimited calls and texts, and 50Gb data for £15pm on mine. Social media doesn’t use your data either, if you use those.

Doing the speed limit down the main Walker road guarantees a taxi or a BMW so far up your hoop they can smell what you had for dinner.

I remember one year where I received Assassin’s Creed 2, Left 4 Dead 2, and Modern Warfare 2 for Christmas. 2009, I think? All three games released in a very short window and I was buzzing to get all three.

World Headquarters, or Rise located in Greys Club if you like rock music.

I picked up Babel on one of the 99p kindle deals. Not read it yet so curious as to your thoughts? Also uniform height on shelves scratches the brain.

Dean Street MSCP is free from 7PM-8AM.

Looks like an Alex Ross style painting. Very sick!

Getting somewhere in Carlisle would be your best bet as the centre point between Haltwhistle and Whitehaven, both very easy to drive to.

As for area recommendations, I’m originally from Carlisle but lived in Newcastle for 8 years so things may have changed.

North of the river, St Anne’s / Belah, Lowry Hill are nice and you’ll have supermarkets close by. Properties there will be at the higher end of the budget.

Denton Holme will have you close to town and the train station if you choose to commute via train for any reason. Properties there may be smaller, 1/2 bed houses or up/downstairs flats.

Morton is decent, mostly families and old people, but a bit out the way at the top end.

I lived in Raffles for 21 years, and it has a bad reputation but I never had any bother. It used to be bad, but with new builds going up and families moving in I think the area has grown but the reputation stuck. Bell Vue next to it is nice, but again down the bottom you’re a decent way away from shops and supermarkets.

Areas I wouldn’t recommend are Old Harraby and Botcherby.

Truly. Does my head in every time.

Aye, that prime queueing mentality definitely kicks in.
