Four seats. Four people. Boot happily fits a wheelchair. But OH NO, HUMPHREY, THE SUV IS FULL TO BURSTING on the school run.
Unless the "sports kits" involve three javelins, you're the problem, madam. Maybe get them to put their damned school bags on their laps.

As a fan of horse racing games, I'm going to have to play Umamusume Pretty Derby at some point and look like a weird old perv, aren't I?

The J-League has gone live on Sorare today. Mito Hollyhock are in the J1 for the first time in their history.
Sold my entire Newcastle team. Bought as many Mito players as I can and there’s more coming. Biggest collection on Sorare. I’m the only one that believes.
GO ON, MY BEAUTIFUL FLOWERS.

I'll say it...I just don't get porting stuff from one retro format to another.
So you're porting Hello Kitty Roller Rescue to the Dreamcast? It'll be at version 0.72beta in 8 months' time? GET HYPE.
Or I can play it on the PS2 like...now, and stuff.

Trying a new darts app. Start on level 5 of 20. Should be way easy!
Lost 2 sets to 1 (1-3, 3-2, 1-3) because I can’t hit doubles ever. Or trebles. And sometimes even singles. Or the board.
Humbled.

Try a couple decades of shitty emails ranging from simple insults all the way up to death threats from idiot fanboys who can't handle you giving a game "only" 8/10 and see which one puts more calluses on your soul, dummy. You'd fold in six months or less.

Dear Raheem Sterling,
Please come and play for Exeter City. We can probably only do about a grand a week and a Toffee Crisp at a push, but we do have some nice architecture and the luxury of having both a Lidl AND an Aldi.
Thank you,
Ken

I have a customer who orders every month. It starts with him trying to offer 30%, 40%, and 50% of the price and being auto declined. Then he asks my lowest. I tell him. He asks 90 questions about the item, wants more photos of it…then offers less than my lowest price.
And now he’s blocked.

Wet patch appeared on lounge ceiling. Called landlord. Tells me other houses in the street have the same issue. The en suite bathroom will need replacing. Will be a few weeks, but he’s on it. Calls 8 hours later to say he’s coming over tomorrow.

Tried the ‘very hard’ challenge in the Sega World Football Club thing. Picked the worst J3 team. Made ONE change to the team. No injuries all year. Won the league by 20 points. The prize was the opportunity to buy a ‘winner’s only’ bundle of in-game currency and shit for £2.99.

Forza Horizon 6 will be Forza Horizon 1-5.
Fun for an hour or two, but then the issue of the player being CONSTANTLY smashed around the head with unlocks, popups, points, information, and general noise in case they ever dare to look away from the screen for half a second will kill it stone dead.

Bought on Whatnot in October. Lost in the post. Got a refund. Just arrived.
I mean, I’ll take a couple freebies.
Now I can get rid of the shitty Maximos CEX sent me with the reprinted artwork.

If the company that shipped Skull & Bones is telling you that they canceled a game for quality reasons, it's easy to assume that that game must've been pretty fucking bad.

At EB in 1999, we had maybe 15 MD games left, total. Been there for years. Out of nowhere, we got three pallets of new MD1+2 consoles and games from H/O for liquidation.
Only guidance we had was to get rid of everything at any price, but the consoles couldn't go lower than £19.99.

We came close! In our library, we found a UK catalog from 1995 with Virtua Racing listed at £47.99, and Mega Drives starting at £69.99 with two controllers and a pack-in game. No listing for a standalone MD, which would've been lower
