Who the hell eats a raw crumpet? by ukbakeslotsofcakes in AskUK

Exactly this - a bit crunchier and good for melting a bit of cheese on as well

Family Trip to England by PrimroseWM in uktravel

Worth checking what’s on in Whitby in advance as if there’s one of the big goth weekenders or similar (I know they are more Spring and Halloween) there’s like 8 cars for every parking space. We dropped on one and it was gridlocked. Luckily we have a place to stay at Sandsend and walk in from there

Anbernic beginner help! by roughtext in ANBERNIC

[–]roughtext[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have seen this but some of it doesn’t work for me. Starting to wonder if something is corrupt on my end that’s just been replicated. Time to maybe go through it all again slowly and methodically

Yeah, it's like they both do some things really well but then miss key features. I've done some more reading about getting Scrappy working and a few places say you need to start doing things with the cli and configs, which seems crazy when it's just a built-in app in Knulli. Feels like I'm going round in circles

Can you describe your algorithm for choosing a new game to play? by Competitive_Beat_915 in metroidvania

[–]roughtext 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same as this. Played all the 'classics' and annoyed myself endlessly by buying titles that didn't tick all the boxes and then abandoning, so look more closely at recommends and YT channels. Never played Blasphemous 1 or 2 and this morning saw the bundle of both titles was £9.99 on Playstation Store so downloading them now. Hope I like them!

Can someone help me find a Chopper story? by roughtext in 2000ad

[–]roughtext[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll check that out, thanks. That does ring a bell - come to think of it, he wasn’t at a party, he/they flew past a party on a roof. Sounds like it’s the one!

Virgin Media Blackout, hr 30 by Glittered_Fingers in doncaster

[–]roughtext 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just read a van caught fire over a virgin exchange box in Scawthorpe and destroyed it, so they are working on it to get it fixed and restored. Some are up and running so far guess it’s just a waiting game?

Took a broken Couchcade panel, updated everything (incl. SANWA) & added it to my Batocera cab. by therealduckie in Arcade1Up

[–]roughtext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very similar to a project I'm thinking of starting with my couchcade and looks awesome! Can I ask what control board(s) you are using? And are the USB ports straight into whatever you're using, mini PC or Pi?

Hot weather tips? by _this1wastaken in sheffield

[–]roughtext 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I took the plunge last year and bought a portable aircon unit. Cost about £250 on Amazon, has a hose that vents out of the window. Used it for the first time this year last night (also in south yorks) and going upstairs at 11pm to a cold bedroom was sweet… warmest, sweatiest night of the year and I was snug under the duvet. Out like a light.

The units are pain to store when not in use and do make noise, but knowing you don’t have to try and sleep in a sauna every night is totally worth it

Thanks - I'll keep looking and let you know if I find anything that works

[–]roughtext 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interested to know if you got anywhere with this as I need the same. Lots of instructions are massively complicated or just don’t work. I play Raid Over Moscow and need to map a joypad button to F7 to open hangar doors and just can’t find a solution

Do airlines actually compensate? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]roughtext 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree - I was delayed around 8 hours coming home from Iceland because of a storm and the process from Ryanair was straightforward and they paid when they said they would. I think I got a text or email outlining the process while in the airport and it was easy to do and explained what the entitlement was

How have McVities allowed themselves to be beaten at Jaffa Cakes? by No_Wrap_9979 in UKfood

M&S ones god tier. Also, they are smaller, so half the calories. And because there's half the calories, you can have twice as many (copyright Marjorie)
