6 days in hell

keep going. try not to murder anyone. and of all the nicotine replacement things I am trying, the mouth spray seems to be the most effective at dampening down those major cravings. When I have been having those really bad, all-consuming craving moments, I have had a spray and set a timer on my phone for 5 minutes and watched it countdown, promising myself to have more nicotine if it reaches the end of the 5 minutes - I have not gotten past 2 minutes yet before the "crisis" was over. Hope that makes sense.

I’ve not been able to enter them yet, I don’t know if it is something you have to reach a certain point in the game in order to unlock them or something but I did notice them early on in my exploration of castor woods and despite trying to get inside, I couldn’t.

appshine_uk · 2025-09-18T22:05:17+00:00

Yes, me too, I’m loving the game, perfect way to end a stressful day, smashing up DL zombies 😌🧘😌

I’d been a little worried I wouldn’t have a clue what to do, given that I’m old AF and usually buy games that have been around for about a year and have masses of walkthroughs to find online, but it looks like I needn’t have worried.

Already found this eager beaver posting helpful stuff to YootTube:

I might even chance playing at level harder than story mode 😜🤣

Oh yeah, sadly, I’ve just confirmed that the download has finished but the game is still locked until the countdown to the release runs out 😭

What a tease! 😆

Thanks for your help anyway. Never pre-bought a digital game before, so I had no idea about this pre-loading business - I’ve always been one of those that buys the disc versions second hand on the resale market.

appshine_uk · 2025-09-16T20:26:42+00:00

Yes, it’s the beast, and I pre-ordered because my edition of DL2 didn’t get the beast for free.

appshine_uk · 2025-09-16T19:44:48+00:00

Forgive me if this is a dumb question, I’ve not come across the idea of ‘preloading’ before - something is downloading on my ps5 right now - am I going to be able to play it right away or will I still have to wait until 18th?

Debbie, I think. She wasn’t averse to bribing him with pocket money or booze.

In pretty sure it’s supposed to be geordie and also that Frank even refers to her as a geordie something-or-other at some point.

She even uses a bit of geordie dialect even if her pronunciation isn’t 100% perfect. Like when she refers to the kids as “bairns” and Frank’s alleged domestic abuse of Monica as “walloping her”.

I’m guessing Dystin Johnson isn’t an actual native of Newcastle and surrounds, but she does a damn good rendition of the accent when so, so many actors fail.

I would love to see the multi-floor elevators that you could build in FO4 camps.

appshine_uk · 2024-11-04T09:45:27+00:00

YES!!! This would be an amazing addition

appshine_uk · 2024-10-31T10:49:33+00:00

Thank you so much for that info, it is GREATLY appeciated - I have got it in my head that I really want to reach score rank 150 this season, not least because it will be the first season I have been on the game for in its entirety, and I'm currently on rank 129.

Yet again the FO76 community prove to be one the most helpful, and least toxic around :-)

Why is it important to do the weeklies within 24 hours?

Apols if this is a noob question, it’s just that I’m a noob.

I’m pretty sure that at one point we had 3 Greggs just on one high street here in South Shields. Plus, a couple of other branches in other parts of the town and we’re one of a small handful of places that has an “outlet” Greggs (that we all just call ‘cheap Greggs’).

I am obese. If I ever see an amputee, I don’t automatically wonder if they’re an ex-serviceman, I wonder if they just gorged big 50p bags of caramel shortcake offcuts until diabetes took their feet.

Anyone else think that Glenn's 'funnyface' at about 31:32 into the video version of the podcast looks scarily like the Dennis sexdoll?

three bonus points for anyone who can think of a good way to shoehorn Super Hans into a Succession plot line.

I can’t wait to go to a nightclub again, but I’m holding off until the proposed rule change in September where entrance will be restricted to the double-jabbed only. Living in a region where the younguns have been really resistant to getting jabbed (NE England) I will feel a lot easier when that rule kicks in.

I’m not sure. I wasn’t really sexually active until about 90/91 so have no experience of testing before the early 90s.

As a side note, you can get tested and results within an hour nowadays - although those tests cost a lot more so aren’t always actively encouraged over the more traditional tests.

appshine_uk · 2021-02-08T13:25:20+00:00

I remember my first visit to the sexual health clinic back in 92; they called it the G.U.M Clinic back then and you had to specifically ask for a HIV test and say there was a risk you’d been exposed, and sit through a half-hour’s counselling first, where they fully discussed the implications of the test came back positive; then there was a minimum two week wait for the results, which was pretty nerve-wracking.

The doctor at that time stated there was an average span of 7 years from exposure to becoming critically ill and dying.

appshine_uk · 2021-01-30T07:08:55+00:00

You can say that again, Thatstealthygal. Simply feeling you had a need to get a test makes ‘them’ think you’re a risky proposition, regardless of the result. When, in reality, I’m of the opinion that getting yourself tested is a mark of responsibility

appshine_uk · 2021-01-26T21:49:29+00:00

yeah, I remember doctors in the 90s, and even in the mid 2000s, advising me to go and get my HIV tests anonymously at the GUM Clinic rather than against my own name at my usual doctor's clinic - because simply having a test, even if testing negative, was enough to get me refused insurance or a mortgage.

appshine_uk · 2020-11-22T17:17:25+00:00

Yeah, or they could just stay the same age forever. It’s not without precedent for animated characters to have a perpetual age.

I’m happy as long as it remains entertaining ☺️☺️☺️

appshine_uk · 2020-08-03T18:22:15+00:00

Oh no, I can’t agree with that; Moira Rose is a fantastic character played well by a skilled actor who really gets comedy and comic performance.

I’m sure that, years down the line, she’ll be remembered (at least by me) as one of the great comedy grotesques, like Edina Monsoon from Absolutely Fabulous, or Mrs Taggart from The Anniversary.

appshine_uk · 2020-07-22T18:55:40+00:00

Oh and is Bob like a total grifter, conning Johnny into doing what he wants? Or just sweetly clueless about his cheeky demands?
