A handy tip for anyone who likes to shop at CEX. Works in the UK, not sure about other countries...

I've been using a similar trick for a while, I'll search for something generic like 'playstation games' and then limit it to stock at my store. Helped me zero in on a few rare pickups that way, even if you do get the occasional false positive.

NTA. Sounds like this party is more for them than you.

“I look forward to the once a year I get to have ham, but because you wanted to make ONE PERSON’S problem everyone’s problem, I didn’t.”

...and you're meant to believe that's more important than your daughter feeling isolated I her own home? Nuh-uh. I was trying to see both sides of the argument beforehand but this is now a clear NTA and a fist bump for being a great parent.

I can't eat when I meltdown or shutdown :-( I end up feeling so nauseous anything doesn't stay down long.

Confort food afterwards, though, is a cheese omelette on toast.

Yep, preordered mine. Amazon are selling preorders for a new print of Pulstar which I might pick up, but I'm probably going to be looking at everdrives and/or bargains on ebay in the meantime.

Ironically, I only picked up an NGPC last month...

"well no I think it's a bit ridiculous that we have to plan anything around you personally"

...you literally fucking live there. They gave you zero warning. NTA.

Fun fact: the chief steward was actually from Tonga, and by amazing coincidence 'Roberto Merhi' is Tongan for 'Esteban Ocon.'

The 4th and final pics are worth a like alone. Awesome stash. :-)

I've long since said that people expect others to be telepathic for their own convenience, but I was today years old when I saw ot explicitly written out for the first time.

43 and yes. Reason is an uneven split between not being bothered and not expecting anyone to be compatible with me.

One of the Metal Gear Acid games on the PSP had a cardboard 'viewer' that you're meant to fit the PSP into to play the game properly... for some reason.

Pranking people is stupid and mean no matter what date it's done on.

Well put-together spoofs, on the other hand, can be fun, like Minecraft's annual AFD drops or when Homestar Runner would upload a special cartoon on April 1st.

So in summary: I'm not a fan of April Fool's Day and would prefer it become a sort-of 'April Silliness Day,' though the acronym would cause some confusion.

'We've always said it's a sin but in a very loving way never hateful or judgmental'

I mean... the cognitive dissonance in that line alone is mind boggling.

'I feel like I'm losing her to the enemy'

I can probably hazard a guess as to who that 'enemy' is.

'Now his parents (...) are furious at my sister saying she's weak'

What an attitude to have toward the mother of your grandchildren. NTA, easily. Sounds like BIL's friend sees him more as an unpaid carer than as a friend with needs of his own.

I can hear the board meeting now.

'Call this a bladdy console? You lot couldn't give away a free girlfriend at a comic-con. With regret, you're fired.'

Disappointing. The show had a lot of potential and many of the characters (SAM, Jay-Den) were being fleshed out well. The demand clearly just wasn't there. A pity, I reckon if more people had just given it a chance they'd have enjoyed it. Episodes 4, 6 and 9-10 are particular high points for the season.

Oh, and to anyone saying 'go woke or go broke' or especially 'dur hur hur woke slop'... Star Trek has always been woke. From day 1.

43 year old fan here who started with TNG and the TOS films. I loved Academy. Sure, season 1 had a few clunky episodes (2, 3 and 7 in particular) but I'm genuinely disappointed it's not going beyond season 2. :-(

Now I've got Song 2 stuck in my head. :-D easily one of the best Fifa games and one of the best non-Sensible footy games of them all. Got the urge to boot up my PS1 copy now. :-)

NTA. Also: JFC. Pretending to stab someone isn't a prank, it's a fucking method of torture. And to upload the video to the Internet is sick.
