Only mildly relevant to the topic but I saw him in this and he was awesome, a really amazing actor. The rest of the cast were good but he was a cut above.

Socialised private transport? Call it a car club and it’s private enterprise and therefore okay, like Zipcar here in the UK!

At this point why even have your own car? A pool of cars that can come and pick you up when you need it would be more efficient and allow the cost to be shared widely across a group

I think my 7T is no longer in update territory. Probably time for a change!

I really enjoyed The City and The City, it was a really novel and interesting concept about how far socially constructed concepts can go.

Perdido Street Station I couldn’t get into though.

Interesting stuff! Also, holy fuck space.com on my mobile has about 3 lines of text between all the ads!

If it turns out in a few years time that Russia leant on Iran to lean on various Middle East actors to stir up trouble at that exact point to distract from Ukraine, you can colour me unsurprised.

What did the Yamnaya ever do for us, I ask you?

After many many recommendations on here I’m playing Slay the Spire mostly, with some Valorant thrown in when I’m playing with my kids.

I love that it’s called Prosperity Guardian. I’m hoping this ushers in a new era of military operation naming.

The thumbnail picture looks like she’s trying to pop her child on a spike. Maybe if there was less baby spiking, their population wouldn’t be reducing so fast.

God I love Wildermyth.

I’m currently in mourning because in the final play of the final chapter of my last campaign, my top level fighter got hit with compulsion, killed one of my mages, and my other fighter and then died herself. She left just one character, her wife, to bury the dead and appreciate the phryhic victory.

I do usually do that when they get into a game, watch some YouTube and try to skill up a bit! This one seems super complex though.

Exactly! I know it will make sense eventually!

A couple of people have mentioned ARAM so I’ll take a look. As with a lot of these games, I find assimilating information at speed is not my forte!

I’m currently playing turn based RPG, Wildermyth, if you want an idea how fast my mind goes!

I played Heroes of the Storm, back in the day, and really enjoyed it, it didn’t feel as complex as league did. I was similarly bad at it though!

I played (and lost) 3 games, no-one said or typed anything at all that I could see, though that may be an artefact of a super low elo game?

Sorry should have been more clear, I meant the one inside the battle, when you can buy items to help you in the game. Haven’t got as far as working out if you can pay to get better items on that list!

My lad has been pretty calm about playing it, and most other games but I’ll look out for the behaviour and language, thanks

I for one am a totally normal human person

Funnily enough I was talking to my teenagers on this exact subject last night. At a basic level, nms appears to have what Minecraft does, plus spaceships. Why doesn’t it work the same?

For us, we decided that nothing in Minecraft is difficult to get at the level you need it. Wood is easy, always there. When you learn that you need coal for torches, it’s just in that rocky outcrop. Start digging, here’s some iron for you.

In Minecraft you don’t need to understand anything complex, until you’re ready to understand something complex. And if you want to spend a week running around on the surface and collecting chickens, you can do that too.

I restarted a nms game the other day and remembered that constant “warning, warning” as the planet inevitably tries to kill me. It was disheartening.
