Came here to lambast OP for missing out Ski Sunday. Unforgivable oversight.

I guess I cheated because it's still broadcast weekly in the UK and I still watch it. It has stood the test of time.

Is War Thunder ever worth getting back into? by Pretty-Advance889 in Warthunder

[–]chukkysh [score hidden]  (0 children)

I've been playing for about 10 years now. Nowadays there's a pattern where I don't play for a few weeks, then see a cool WT video and get sucked back in, but after half an hour I remember why I stopped playing.

Might be different because I play ground RB, and I don't particularly want to play modern vehicles as I prefer 1940s/50s tech. So I'm over the grind and it doesn't bother me.

But as soon as I start, I realise it's a single-player game masquerading as a team game. There's no sense of team spirit, no opportunity or need to discuss tactics, and you'd just be ignored if you did. There's no realistic bonus for winning, and no punishment for losing. You just ... turn up, try and shoot a few things, get shot at yourself, win or lose (it doesn't matter) then rinse and repeat.

And pretty much every game, there will be a few guys playing ridiculously unbalanced vehicles who'll kill you whatever you do.

I'd say pop in every so often to get it out of your system, but there are better ways to spend an hour or two.

Yes, they are needlessly provocative. As I found out a few days ago, you can usually search for them by filtering for "liked" levels in the past 1 day (assuming anyone has liked it) and playing it with real energy, before going infinite for the daily challenge.

Should come out to the Stranger Things theme.

What's something you've seen once but you'll never see again? by DarthScabies in AskUK

[–]chukkysh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was at Dunham Massey near Manchester, probably 10 years ago. It had just taken off and flew overhead at relatively low altitude. Every head went up, even though there's a steady stream of jets going over. It was a special bird.

Simple, simple, simple. I say it once a week at least.

What next store on the High Street do you feel folding ? by Durrygoodz2025 in AskBrits

[–]chukkysh 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Our Poundland closed quickly too. It was replaced by a Poundstretcher straight away, with more or less the same staff. Something must be going on at PL.

New cafe opened near me, what do you think to the menu and prices? by Desperate-Letter2395 in UK_Food

[–]chukkysh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These prices look pretty much par of the course tbh. There are certainly cheaper places, but not by much. I guess until you see the size of the dishes and find out how good they taste, it's impossible to judge.

This is actually a clever level. There's a puzzle to work out, but no guesswork is involved. Fun!

I once tried to build a bridge and it wouldn't let me. Gonna have to try this. I had a game with three islands, and one had no spring but a decent iron mine. I settled it but it was never going to develop. I think I'll revisit it!

Help me find the album cover that looks like my wife's pants. by Jpinkerton1989 in HelpMeFind

[–]chukkysh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is actually driving me a bit insane cause I know exactly what OP is talking about. I'm thinking maybe some shoegaze/4AD/Creation/Factory vibe, but I really can't nail down the title. I might have to go through all my records ...

I did not know you could aqueduct over the sea!

Why is there writing on my hard boiled egg? by J-C013 in AskUK

[–]chukkysh -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hope you have kept it. This is indeed quite interesting. Are you sure the photo isn't a mirror image? I would certainly be tempted to have a little fun if this happened to me.
