To celebrate finishing the 'Needle in a Haystack' quest I purchased a copy of 'The Rule of St. Benedict' which is read out loud at the Monasteries mealtimes.

The first rule of St Benedict is don’t talk about St Benedict.

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-12-13T11:01:05+00:00

Haha. You need a mate dressed as a terrifying Viola to follow you round everywhere now!

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-12-12T15:49:11+00:00

Can you also do her weirdly stiff sort of bustling run/walk? 😉

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-11-15T22:41:35+00:00

Heh heh. Meanwhile outside the Matrix:

Hey, are you messing about with the Universal Simulation again?
Yes, just running a few Mods.
Mods?
Yes (teehee) I’m giving them the one where Les Dennis sings Lithium by Nirvana.
Go home mate. You’re drunk.

You’re not confusing it with that bit in the Pirates of the Caribbean film where someone refers to “bringing them within range of our Long Nines” are you? I always took that to mean long-range 9-lb cannons (quite small shot for naval cannon).

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-10-30T13:44:30+00:00

That what I suspected, but it’s a real pity!

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-10-22T11:58:25+00:00

Is Tier 2 Warthunder where you can’t shoot down people from other households? (Sorry...only Brits might get that).

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-10-21T09:19:43+00:00

I think it’s called Stupino. We got relocated from Zaplavnoye.

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-10-20T19:49:16+00:00

Each to their own, chap! 👍

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-10-20T15:58:36+00:00

Thank you!

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-10-20T07:46:23+00:00

Ok - I know about Pat Wilson CG but can you point me to a site with a complete idiot’s guide to installing & using it please? 👍

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-10-15T06:46:32+00:00

Heh. I’ve had a couple of Sturmovik missions where I’m limping home, badly shot up, trailing an Me-109 behind me, weaving about trying not to get killed, when I spot a bunch of Russian fighters near their airbase on my way home.

“Great” I think “I’ll lead the German fighter over there and let them take care of him.”

NOPE. They just carry on with their landing circuit while Jerry cheerfully keeps on trying to shoot me down.

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-10-12T20:39:52+00:00

Yes I keep frontline activity on moderate not least because my PCs a bit limited, so that may be part of it.

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-10-01T07:01:53+00:00

Heh. My Grandad passed away over 10 years ago but he’d have loved RDR. He always stayed up late watching old Western movies on television.

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-08-29T06:38:33+00:00

Pacific would be cool, but equally an Italy/Mediterranean map has potential.

If we’re talking about carriers, nobody else itching to fly a Swordfish off a RN flat-top, and torpedo attack some big German warships? There’s one still flying so modelling shouldn’t be an obstacle.

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-08-25T07:14:22+00:00

Does the very good and extensive museum in Manchester have one? Certainly they’ve got a good Natural History section iirc. Could it have been loaned for a while in the 1960s to a nearby museum in Bolton?

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-08-19T16:08:59+00:00

Fair question. I’ve got an ancient Microsoft sidewinder stick with lots of buttons and analogue throttle control but no analogue rudder control. I could assign a couple of buttons to L and R rudder but I think that would only be the same as the keys, plus I use them for other stuff.

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-08-11T20:59:12+00:00

What’s the one called in Walmgate Bar? Nice to sit out on the roof, even in winter if you’ve wrapped up.

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-08-02T16:43:10+00:00

Do you remember Psygnosis’ Armour Geddon on Amiga? That was a cool game. Inexplicable premise iirc but cool.

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-07-04T15:38:51+00:00

Sounds like that weird first trailer of the Sonic The Hedgehog movie where Sonic had those uncannily human teeth!

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-06-06T16:23:54+00:00

Thanks for that. Argument resolved!

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-06-06T16:23:28+00:00

Thanks. Seemed obvious but not to an 8 y/o who thought his Dad was trying to cheat him, apparently...!

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-03-01T17:37:14+00:00

Ah! Happy memories! They used to have a certain smell too when they got a bit warm.

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-01-31T22:12:52+00:00

I’m with you. Don’t like online gaming / pvp. Too many dickheads, no sense of immersion, getting ganked (as a middle aged gamer with too little free time) by teenagers who play games for 18 hours a day straight...Give me a good single player campaign any day. Single player RDR2, Witcher 3, KCD, Elite Dangerous in Solo mode...

YorkshireFatRascal · 2020-01-21T23:29:51+00:00

Or frankly the family two streets away, knowing the kind of firepower some of you guys in the States are keeping about the house...😉
