We moved house in June and the children no longer share a bedroom. Since then they have not wanted their bedtime stories any more. I had read every night to them since they were tiny, we've read 100s of books in that time but they just don't want stories any more.
I am sad about this.

Help! I started a new save on No Man's Sky. I'll play around 15-20 hours for about the fifth or sixth time before drifting away from it again. I don't know why I always keep starting again...

Well it depends entirely on whether the 'adult child' is in agreement with it or not, doesn't it 🤷

Remembering when I said, on Twitter, I had missed an opportunity to throw dog poo at T*mmy R*bins*n, without tagging him, and within minutes he sent me a voice message making thinly veiled threats to come and find me 🤣 We went back and forth for a while before he stopped replying.

Bug Hunter on UFO 50 is great. I have almost beat it. It's the second game on the collection, and so far UFO 50 has a success rate of 100%.

Well this is a new one. Every year I have to ring them up and tell them I'm cancelling so they offer me another discount. They've made the first move this year - never had that happen before. What's going on?

Finally beat Barbuta, the first game on UFO 50. Bounced hard off it initially, but it's an absolutely brilliant game! Really loved this.
Need to do it again now without losing any lives... It's so quick to finish once you know where everything you need is.

This remake of XIII got absolutely panned, but it's the most fun I've had with an FPS in ages. It runs smoother than in this video and looks decent on Switch 2. Picked it up for under £5 a while back, and would definitely recommend. I think it's been patched a lot since release, too.

I normally finish 25-30 games a year, but for some reason this year I just can't finish anything. Just finished Dredge though, my first completion since about April. I liked it.

Wow. Not only a serial rapist, but now a certified nonce as well. Hope he's being treated 'well' in prison.

I was excited that some NBA games were going to be included in a Prime subscription, but it turns out, perhaps as expected, to be absolute horseshit.
Unless you watch live (after midnight) all you get are 2 minute recaps. Barely any full game replays. Fucking Amazon are shite. Absolute shite.

This really irritates me. Why change the spine design halfway through a run of books (Batman Rebirth). They stop numbering them altogether after volume 9, too 🤷
