Whoever fitted the kitchen in my house should be talked to. The panels under the kitchen cabinets, usually they're hooked onto the legs holding the cabinets up from the floor. Oh no, screwed in and the screw heads stripped and hidden under a glued piece of wood on top. Spent this past weekend redoing the panels. Think I have shares in Gorilla Glue now.

I agree with you on this. Yes, the characters were likeable. I came straight into this after LiSII, which in itself was ok at best. Wasn't a huge fan of how they did the 2nd game, but still. This is about the 3rd one. Story-wise, it was not that bad. Compared to the previous games, it felt weak in places The story itself felt rushed overall, sort of like they needed more time in the oven per say. It had some nice nods to the previous entries in the franchise, if just through Alex's clothing available on storefronts. There's more nods about, which I liked. The previous game had plenty of nods to LiS too as you'd expect

Check your accounts, just had my 1 million credits pop up.

Chuck the "always need to be online" requirement, and i'll be a happy person. A good step in the right direction for GT7. I'm especially looking forward to the Endurance races coming back.

I get free to play titles like Fortnite having MTX, that's understandable. However, £70 games like GT7 cutting back on how much you can earn from racing in-game and pushing MTX is something else. GT Sport had MTX in a way, you could basically buy a car you wanted with real money instead of earning credits. I'm not a huge fan of MTX, especially in games where you've already paid (in this case) a premium to even play. If PD had it in the same way as GT Sport, probably wouldn't be as bad (still bad none the less, but at least you know that £3.99 will get you a car in-game instead of credits towards a car/parts etc.

Not as such DIY, but we're having the bathroom done. I'll share some snaps when it's done, but it's been an adventure so far with a few issues. To name a few Electric blew twice when taking the old shower out, even with the switch in the fuse box switched off. Gas line was cut with a nail going right into it Water leakage from the newly installed pipes New shower tray cracked when installing

Had planned to play this weekend, have to wait until Monday now as DPD had a request from someone to redeliver it then. No idea who requested a redelivery

It's out now, download away.

The reveal promoted me to play through it on PS4 over the weekend. Now, if i took out PSNow, i could play it (and platinum it) a 3rd time (Vita, PS3 and 4)

Bumping this There's a stream at 3pm UK time today from CDProjekt regarding Cyberpunk 2077. Apparently, the PS5/XBSX/S versions may release today (rumoured)

Bought a new bathroom, been delivered today and being fitted next week. Ordered tiles, they're being delivered next week when needed Yeah, back to being broke again for a while.

Had my booster on 29th December, was an absolute shambles. Got there early just in case there was a queue, which sure enough there was. Probably getting on for a quarter of a mile at a guess. Appointment was at 1:10pm, didn't even get to the desk for the first "check in" until probably 1:50pm maybe later. By the time I got to that desk area, the side doors were opened and they decided to let the 2pm onwards appointments go ahead of us, they reclassified the queue I was in as walk in. Some people behind and in front kicked off a bit, didn't blame them really. They had to change the queue again by the time I left the building. Did get a mild reaction this time, had a sore arm as before but had some flu like symptoms in top as well as my entire left arm aching

It's been a pretty positive experience overall. The DualSense controller does make the DualShock 4 feel like something that came from a Fisher Price set. Only downside I've had is the DualSense that came with my PS5 broke after 6 weeks, however Sony's Customer Service was pretty good. Took about 10 days from when I called in to getting a replacement, which is still going strong nearly 11 months later. Probably would have had a replacement next day if it wasn't for lockdown. Would have gone to GAME and swapped it out. Having backwards compatibility to PS4 right out the box was ideal, it meant I didn't have to rush through and finish a game off or have to swap back across to the older system to play something. Plus, the DualSense works for PS4 titles, so didn't need to swap back to the DualShock, however even these work straight away on PS5 without needing a special adapter. Playing PS4 titles with a near solid 30/60fps was a great upgrade. More so using the SSD to run the games from, I have since bought an external SSD for PS4 games. PS5 games, can't fault what I've played. I'm not a huge fan of Sony's idea of upgrading PS4 games to PS5 versions at a small cost, when the likes of Microsoft with Xbox can offer Smart Delivery for last gen to next gen upgrades. Thats not to say that all upgrades on PS5 cost, some games like Crash 4, Little Nightmares 2 and Miles Morales were free PS4 to PS5 upgrades, whilst Death Stranding and Ghost of Tsushima were £10-20 upgrades. Playing Ratchet and Clank on PS5, that was impressive. Astro Playroom, well that was nothing short of a highlight showing off what the console can do. Overall, it's been a pretty good 1st year for PS5. 2022 is shaping up to be better, just hoping that stock issues are resolved by then so more people other than scalpers can buy a machine.

Sent requests to everyone who posted a code above, for others mine is 8553 5584 7495 This weekend brings the first Pikmin Community Day. It'll be different to other games CD, get a badge for walking 10,000 steps in a day, seeds will grow faster and more nectar from fruits. Been finding the game pretty decent, nice for it to record steps without the game being open. Got an app on my phone which syncs my Samsung watch steps to Google Fit once a day. When i'm doing stuff like Ring Fit or making a cuppa, i don't tend to carry my phone around, so at least i'll get a few extra steps in.

That's something i wasn't expecting. Current-gen version incoming (hopefully).

Getting the keys for the new house on Friday, were meant to get them 2 weeks ago but the owners daughter asked for a bit longer as they needed to clear out. Been packing over the weekend, the landlord wants us out by months end. Have put in notices to swap our gas/electric across and the internet as i'm still home working for a while yet. Making use of friends and family over the next weekend to move stuff from the flat, and got a van coming on Monday to take the bulky goods.

Think i'll treat this Switch revision the same as i did when they announced the 3DSXL/New 3DS. Probably will pick it up, but only if my current model decides to break. I don't see enough of an upgrade to this revision to rush out and get it when it comes out.

Have noticed that both Zero Mission and Fusion are charting in the WiiU eShop, with Metroid Prime coming in 4th since Dread was revealed at E3. Physical copies of Fusion, Zero Mission and Samus Returns are flying off virtual shelves, with prices for some being pretty high. I think the love for Metroid is still there.

Mortgage approved on Friday, had the survey report back on checking the property for any issues also on Friday. Rated from Green, Amber to Red. Green being ok, red being "Needs fixing now". Had a couple of red, down to electrics, gas and boiler. A deeper search was because they couldn't find or had access to the latest inspection documents so had no idea if they were ok. Have let the solicitor know, so hopefully the issues are resolved before we hand over monies Update The vendor has found the documentation for the gas and boiler, however none for the electricity. They have agreed after we asked (no legal obligation to do so) to get in an electrician to do the checks. So that's one less cost to worry about, which is good news for us.

Had an offer accepted on a house start of May, so finally moving out from private rental to ownership hopefully by middle to end of July. We're sick of the neighbours downstairs smoking weed, blasting loud music and just being annoying. Landlord was round the other month and could smell weed, thought it was me. Absolute pain in the rear searching for a place, we saw many houses over the past few months but they were going so, so quick. Offers going on before a viewing was done was one tactic. We went to see one house, but when we got there, an offer was put on and accepted before we stepped foot in the door. Didn't see the point of viewing it after that. Saw one which had a garage, but didn't belong to the house but to a neighbour. In the end, i think it was a case of the owner of the current house accepted our offer as we were first time buyers looking for somewhere to live other than buying up somewhere to rent it back out (which has happened a lot to the houses we've seen ourselves). Was an article i saw the other week, where in Cornwall a house was sold to FTB at a lower offer than a higher one as they were local to the area. Thought that was nice.

Thanks for reminding me, i nearly forgot

Got mine tomorrow. NHS Wales seem to like reminding me every hour today that it's tomorrow.

Discord on PlayStation, it's been needed. PlayStation ended their community channels on PS4, so this makes more sense after this new partnership now.

Aye. It also caused him a lot of issues which nearly cost him all his friends and his WWF/E career until he found faith, cleaned up and got back into shape. The Summerslam 2002 match being his first back, he was strongly protected by Trips as to not re-aggravate his back issues.

Never completed Skyward Sword on the Wii. It's nice they've finally added controls suitable for handheld, which they kind of had to for Switch Lite owners or those who prefer playing in handheld over docked mode (i know many people who do). Wonder what else they've changed to the game this time around.
