Anyone else find that the Android Bluesky app freezes occasionally and needs to be stopped and restarted?

I long for the day when I can vote for the party that I favour and not feel that it's wasted because I didn't tactically vote against the front runner which is made up of some of the most deplorable human beings imaginable.

Also, I forgot what a joy it is to drive in GTA 5. I love Cyberpunk 2077 to bits but the vehicle handling in it is dogshit.

Ah well. I'll soon have my tank and flying car anyway.

Missing Los Santos, I installed the Enhanced version of GTA5 on my PC (I know we don't like Rockstar at the moment, I bought it years ago). I started a new character and am enjoying playing the beginner missions again. One sad note: They removed my beloved Bifta Dune Buggy :(

Local building site apparently protected by the United Federation of Planets! 😲

A sign for Overt Security uses the wreath from the flag of the United Federation of Planets from Star Trek. I guess the graphic designer was a Trekkie 😁

The life of a UNIT soldier is varied but never dull.
All minis (except for the dinosaur) digitally sculpted, printed and (unfortunately) painted by me.

Hate doing this, because everyone is skint, but Oz is the only important thing in my life and I'm too broke to cover his additional surgery. If you'd like to help, please use OZVET20 at checkout on fenrisgames.com/shop for a nice discount or ko-fi.com/fenrisgames if you don't need toys.
Thankyou 💔

Ha! Sounds like Star Trek Online, except you have to read tedious pages of someone's fanfic first 😁

Yes. Cooperative but also competitive and roll to move. D&D written by folks who couldn't get their heads around any other kind of board game, I think. When I run it for the kids I use fixed movement. Still a race to search the room for treasure first, though.

I think I did Local Hero last time this did the rounds so this time I'll pick...

Watching Dr Who and the Dinosaur Invasion. It infamously gets a kicking for the embarrassingly poor dinosaur puppets, but looking past them, it's a fun romp and episode one with the images of deserted London is really creepy and atmospheric.

With Trump it feels more like a protection racket. Give me stuff or I send the boys round. 'Me' being him, personally, not America.

Of course had I known about that horrific parasite, I would have binned the whole bag and not continued feeding it to the poor bugger. It's been a couple of years, though and he's never shown any signs of brain rot. Mind you, it'd be hard to tell. 😐

'They'd have just looked at me blankly and tried to sell me a pen.' 😂
Also, I agree. Why invent an anti-slug potion when salt is sitting right there. Also dried dog food. I once found the dessicated husks of several slugs in a bag who had crawled in and met a grisly end.

I do like the 'performance bike' aesthetic to everything but, yes, visually it's a bit repetitive and the alien designs are a little bland.
I know this is heresy but I always thought the Normandy was a fairly bland design too.

I enjoyed Mass Effect 1. Not sure I ever finished it either, but I thought it was okay. I've never understood the reverence for the franchise. Didn't bother with 2+3, especially after folks losing their shit over 3.
I did try Andromeda but noped out of there when they introduced micromanaging.
