Yeah we've got some of this, although perhaps not as frustratingly bad as you guys.

She's very picky, but we've gotten to the point that we just cook what the other three of us eat and if she doesn't want it then so be it.

I should emphasize that we generally only eat what we know she likes, but for some reason she'll decide on a random wednesday that now she doesn't like peas and .....yeah okay.

Banana before bed I guess.

Don't know about how it is in the US, but in the UK the idea of people rushing to finish their transaction fills me with dread. I've worked in a supermarket with self service and the general public really struggles with them.

It was all good until I told my partner that she absolutely gets it from her. That did not go well for me 😬😬

I've been pretty desperate for some good 'Dad friends' for a while now but it's never happened. I only do pick up and drop offs once a week, and whilst people are friendly it's never gone any further than that. Sadness.

It's happening. My eldest is six. And I've noticed that when it comes to being a stubborn git, she's definitely more her Mum than she is me.

She'll refuse to do the most benign things. Getting dressed and brushing her teeth is an absolute battle. Trying to get her to eat anything that's not a ketchup covered fish finger? An Impossibility. She's her Mum. Classic 'cutting off her nose to spite her face' sort of stuff.

Ay ay ay.

Firstly, Chorley.

Secondly, I should rewatch Phoenix Nights. It's been like twenty years, it's time.

As for where I'm from? Walkers Crisps and Pork Pies.

It was the only of my three cars that hasn't been totalled by a driver not paying attention when driving past it.

Yup. Two cars have been written off whilst parked down my street inside two years. Love it!

Okay so for context I've not played BG3. However I do consider myself pretty upto date with my gaming stuff (I run a videogame community afterall). I couldn't tell you which of the characters on the front of the BG3 box-art is Shadowheart; not the foggiest.

As for Croft. I wonder if they'd 'commissioned' this poll before the release of the recent game if she'd have even made the top 10. For the most part, her star has fallen pretty significantly from where she was in the 90's.

I'm interested to see if they provided a list or if they asked people to submit their own choices. Sackboy and Arthur Morgan are....I mean I'd argue Arthur isn't even the most iconic character in his own game. Surely that honour goes to John Marston?

Big Fish was one of the first movies I watched when I started really paying attention to what I was watching. And to this day it remains one of my favourites. Sleepy Hollow doesn't get enough love either. Stellar cast.

Don't set yourself alight to keep yourself warm. Not always easy, but it is something I believe. You can only do so much if someone isn't willing to help themself.

 

Another one gone. Another expensive and utterly wasteful by-election on the horizon that'll see the winner sit in parliament for a few weeks summer recess and then a winter election.

All this waiting around sure doesn't seem to be good for anyone but the guys running the show.

 

What's the worst job you've ever had? What made it bad and how long did you last?

 

Hello, Good morning and welcome to another fine edition of What We're Playing; our weekly round up everything that's kept us glued (or not) to our TV screens, desktop monitors, portable displays and whatever else you crazy kids are playing games on these days.

So, what have you been playing over the last seven days?

 

I'll kick us off I guess.

The Kings of Leon song about one's 'Sex being on fire'? Yeah I have no idea what that means. What does 'your sex is on fire mean'?

 

God damn this game is gorgeous.

 

What is it

Let's Talk About Games aims to be a place where fans of videogames come together to talk about the hobby they love, the culture around that hobby and the ways in which we interact and enjoy it.

Maybe you've played a cool game that you'd like to talk about, or perhaps you've watched a really interesting deep-dive into your favourite games lore that you feel needs to be shared. That's the sort of thing we're going for.

If that sounds like it might be for you then pop on over and join in the conversation.

Congratulations to the team and the community as a whole for this pretty amazing achievement.

Turns out the one level that the group was having trouble with was originally uploaded using something called a TAS, which renders it null and void, so they didn't actually have to beat that one to finish them all.

**Edited title. Making sure that the word 'level' doesn't fit. Have a good day. *

 

Jeff Marek of Sportsnet is always going on about how sports are never better than when you're 12. And I agree.

That said, Hockey (at least for me) was never better than in 2012, when I was absolutely not 12 years old.

The Capitals went into Boston with their third string goalie and won with an OT G7 goal. We had that insane Philly v Pittsburgh series that had everything from line brawls to blow outs and even Phoenix went on a run and knocked off the Hawks and Predators, it was so much fun.

So, when did Hockey peak for you?

 

I posted about this a few weeks ago and I think this video might help those in the same spot as I was.

 

One of my biggest complaints about season one was the constant jumping between time periods. I understand the necessity, given the story that they are trying to tell, but I think it took an awful lot of people out of the show, and made it even harder to bond with those adult characters that are going to be carrying the show going forward.

Season two should feel a lot more.....stable by comparison.

 

I'm on board with most of this... although (speaking as a parent) I don't agree that Lyanna would either want to, or expect Rhaegar to be okay with the idea of naming his newborn son after his (now dead) son.

What do you think?

 

Moanings fellow Dad's. Hows life?

I've had the week off work and despite it being a nonstop exhausting battle to the death with two young kids...I've had a really nice time with them both. In short: fuck work for robbing me of that time with my kids.....

At the same time my partner vowed to take the kids out for a few hours today so I'm looking forward to a bit of Me time.

How's your week been?
