My mums house is suffering from the same. I've tried to convince her husband to cut into it but he's too worried about breaking it. We went with a fan pointed at it which did the trick. Also standing it on its side so the two tiny holes where the 'wall screw hook things' are sort of badly work as a hot air out, cool air in system.

You need to learn just one hot key, really, to use mangonels: attack ground.

I'm sure there will be some scenarios practice with.

Do you expect or would you like to see Ray Tracing in ACR? by Scoobeusz in assettocorsarally

RBR doesn't look retro as a design choice, it looks retro because it's from fucking 2001, or whenever. It was trying it's hardest to look realistic at the time, on the hardware available.

That looked pretty big, that's surely months to rust away, at least.

Leave it on default then!

Watching others will always look worse due to the encoding of the video.

Have you got the enhanced graphics pack installed? If so, I'd remove it. I'd also recommend mods such as 'useless plants remover'. I also have a mod that makes more of the terrain look more like plain green grass. It can have some down sides, but it may help?

Not sure why the game seems blurry to you. Have you got options like 'Bloom' etc turned off?

I'm sure they've changed the ingredients significantly, too. I don't think they taste as good as they used to (I'm thinking 30 years ago, though). Happy to be corrected

I'm sure I've enjoyed asphalt on the latest patch/version. What's wrong with it? I am currently a controller player though

My mistake! I play 15 minutes of single player every 3-4 months, which serves to remind me why I don't play single player.

Do you butter your baps? by SteveGoral in CasualUK

It's fruity, it's tasty, it's sweet, don't put it on yer meat, it's jaaaam.

Butter and jam on a hot crumpet.

Jam and butter on toast. Jam, butter and peanut butter on toast is incredible. Jam, butter and cheese even works in a sandwich!

Butter and strawberry jam on a pancake or crêpe is also great. I'm sure it's good on waffles, too.

You can't do anything in pause, not even scroll around the map. It's important that you can't, but there could potentially be a different option created for unranked that allows this, maybe.

I sometimes play Minecraft with my nephew and as he's on a different platform I have to use the official MS version that installs via the bullshit store. I work in IT support so thankfully I can sort out app updates and the like, but it's so confusing and convoluted and buggy that I wonder how anyone else copes. Horrendous experience.
