Happenstance

I asked a year ago if there was a possibility I could go full time at the school, boss told me we could discuss it at the upcoming one on one meetings where job roles were being sorted out. We have still yet to have those meetings and everytime I bring up the fulltime stuff I get told to wait until those damn meetings. I'm just done with it now. Even if I got offered fulltime I don't think I'd take it. I've had such a shit week with staff going around me after I gave them the answer they didn't like to another IT guy despite the stuff not being part of his job (thankfully he backed up what I said) and just the constant complaints we get that something won't work right, even though they bought systems without consulting the IT department or having any real plans on how they want it to work until after they bought it. This latest one being a sign in system for staff where the staff sign in bit isnt reliaible enough and doesnt split staff into categories for fires etc. Something we could have told them if they'd bothered to talk to us first. The reason I've stayed here for so long to be honest is fear. I was unemployed and unhappy for a long time and I'm afraid to go back to that but I'm just reaching the point where something needs to be done otherwise I'll be just as unhappy either way.

Have you had a chance to try VR at all?

I should start on a new retro rpg soon. Might go with FF3 (6) on the Super NT. I got quite a few hours into it years ago but dropped off and it is one I'd actually like to play all the way through.

You know, I like his videos but I really wish he wasnt named like a 13 year old edge lord...

Didnt A Link Between Worlds start this?

Scantily glad women of course

More blu rays!

It did look like a stupidly good deal. I was planning on snapping it up if you didn't.

...I can breathe again now

IT (1990) & IT (2017) First time watching either of these and I really enjoyed both. Probably the new one a bit more but that’ll be because it wasn’t bogged down yet by the adult sections. I think what I like the most about both of these versions though is less the horror and more the Stand By Me type story with the Losers Club. Both versions of Pennywise were great in their own way with Tim Curry’s one being able to show a lot more personality and Skarsgard’s being a lot more creepy and animalistic. Looking forward to getting Chapter 2 when it comes out on Blu Ray. Moving onto Halloween now. As most of them aren’t easy to get in the UK on Blu Ray I’m just gonna go with the new continuity and watch Halloween then Halloween (2018). I’ve seen most of the others anyway other than Resurrection and the 2 Rob Zombie versions.

Sad to see that Aron Eisenberg who played Nog in DS9 died last night

Been getting into a lot more of Kana-Boon lately.

The £120 is for a 4k chromecast, controller, 3 month Stadia pro subscription and early naming. It won't always be necessary.

That could be it. Have you linked your Amazon and Twitch accounts to create a Twitch Prime one?

It worked for me fine. Are you picking the left one? That has to be used up before the longer time activates.

Yet more 80s horror. Been years since I watched all of these so I'm looking forward to going back to them. Especially 1 and 7. EDIT: Two more as I apparently can't stop myself:

I hadn't heard of it until now. Might give it a listen.

I didn’t end up cancelling my Kickstarter order but I’m still massively down on the game. Any interesting in playing it or supporting the devs has gone right out of the window.

To be honest I'm all for a complete digital future in gaming. I still like to get my physical retro games but other than that as long as the price is ok (which at the moment it isnt) then I would happily buy all new releases digitally.

I finished all of them the other day. Not as scary as I thought. I probably spent most of my time, at least in the first 3 just admiring the puppet and animatronic work. My favoured order is probably a bit different to yours though: Child's Play 2 Child's Play (1 and 2 have been bouncing back and forth, I'm still not sure which I prefer) Bride of Chucky Child's Play 3 Curse of Chucky Cult of Chucky Seed of Chucky

Nice mixture of blu rays to add to my collection:

I keep wanting to buy this on the eShop but £44.99 is just ridiculous. Did anyone end up getting it and know how it plays?
