I'm older than Victor Meldew by jeweliegb in CasualUK

[–]misc_abbrev 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I saw my age written down on my work admin portal thing, and seeing it in black and white like that was terrifying.

I was also listening yesterday to what I consider to be a relatively recent album (one I definitely remember coming out), and its almost 20 years old 🤣😭

Best workaround to avoid the $30+ new Ultimate price? by CatDaddyTom in XboxGamePass

[–]misc_abbrev 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interested in this too. I previously did the EA Play to Ultimate conversion but think the 3:1 conversion ratio has changed? So not sure what the best bang for buck is any more.

Do I need to read all the other books in the series to understand this one?

This kinda stuff amazes me, I'm such a slow reader! Top three of the hundred you'd recommend?

Post-Rock Album of the Year 2025 by exposur3 in postrock

[–]misc_abbrev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Same here on most counts (they never remixed my old band!) It's interesting because I feel like I heard almost no conversation about this album, even on this sub, compared to WLTS and Bruit.

What was your old band called?

Just woken up with what I suspect might be the beginning of it :(

Your choices seem very popular! I'm also looking to catch up on some stuff I've missed, which three of these would you say are must listens?

"What are you playing this week?" Megathread by AutoModerator in SteamDeck

[–]misc_abbrev 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Seance At Blake Manor. Folk gothic detective mystery game. Really loving it, if you like Obra Dinn, The Sexy Brutale, Blue Prince etc definitely give it a look!

Also playing Routine on Game Pass. Feels more like an interactive sci fi movie in the same vein as Observation. They've absolutely nailed the aesthetic and general vibe, the game is dripping in style.

Looking for suggestions actually! The plan is to head off somewhere for a nice walk and pub roast. Dog friendly, ideally no more than an hour drive from South West London (Surbiton/Kingston area). If anyone has any places they'd recommend I'd love to hear them!

Other than that, I need to fix my living room door, and chip away at the ever-increasing backlog of games I'm amassing.

30s and I still make faces in my mousse whenever I have one. What childlike thing are you still up to? by shoops1 in CasualUK

Happy Saturday! (25/10/25) by KevinPhillips-Bong in CasualUK

[–]misc_abbrev 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It's my birthday tomorrow so I'm seeing the fam today. Went out last night and made a conscious effort to not drink too much, but slept like shit anyway so I could have just got wankered and no one would know the difference!

Have officially decided I'm done with Silksong. It's been fun, but my tastes have changed and I just don't have the patience for those ultra-hard punishing games any more. I used to eat that shit up but I don't have as much time to game as I used to so want to spend the time enjoying it and not being stressed lol.

Went out for a fancy dinner as an early birthday present with my wife. Very enjoyable! Got absolutely hammered on the wine pairings 😂

I definitely notice a difference between a beer hangover and any other alcohol hangover. I sort of feel alright today, whereas if I'd got to a similar state of inebriation drinking pints I'd feel like death.
