Eenuh

I'll ehhh, see if I can try that at some point. Sounds a bit weird. I think my broken one is the right stick as well, as my characters/camera kept turning by themselves in Overwatch. Made playing the game quite frustrating at times haha.

My controller started doing that a few months ago! @Fierce_LiNk wouldn't believe me, pffff. I've switched to an older controller because mine became unplayable.

Which then turned into one of his favourite games everrrr. I shared the same experience, the start of the game was just so frustrating, I was ready to give up. But once you get past that starting level (and figure out how the game works), it really becomes such a great experience! Speaking about Soul-type games, I am currently going through Nioh and am loving it. It can be super hard at times, but it feels so great when you finally beat a boss you were stuck on for ages! I reached The Ogress two days ago, and somehow almost beat her on my first try... but then every try after that I just couldn't get anywhere near killing her! It was so frustrating! So I decided to level up (well, 2 levels) and improve some of my armour and weapons, plus pay more attention to my dodging. And I finally managed to beat her last night. My heart was beating so fast haha, these games are not good for my health.

I think for me pressing Shift + Enter does a normal line break, Enter does a paragraph. Not sure if that works for everyone? But I agree, it annoys me a bit that it starts a new paragraph when pressing Enter, when all I want to do is move to the next line.

You know you can call Argo right? I think it's the triangle button that calls him. Edit 2: Also, by shrine, do you mean the main temple in the middle of the map? Because if you have been praying at the small shrines dotted around, you will restart at the last one you prayed at if you died. There should be one close to the last colossi as well I think. Bit late now I guess! Edit: I played this game recently as well, and really enjoyed it. It looks lovely! There isn't much to do in terms of gameplay other than fighting the colossi, but then I guess fighting them is usually a combination of puzzle + action, so that's alright. The controls can be annoying, but for some reason it annoyed me less than it did in The Last Guardian. Maybe I knew what to expect with this one. Also, I imagine the horse controls are done that way because a real horse wouldn't handle smoothly. I got used to the horseback controls near the end of the game. Lovely game, though not sure I'll play it again soon to get the extra stuff. Got too many other games to still get through!

Job win for me! We are currently waiting on clients to give us feedback on our projects, so I am a bit low on work I can do... so my boss has said I can take a snow day tomorrow (even though I work from home)! Might go out and make a snowman tomorrow if the snow is still there!

Coco was amazing, I really loved it. The world looked so vibrant and colourful! Great characters, great soundtrack. It's not a sad film, it might just have a sad moment, like how the Lion King might make you cry at certain points, or Bambi or something. Doesn't make them sad films though. Coco is definitely worth seeing.

I think I'm in favour of a system like this. Apparently Belgium has had it since 1986 (something I was unaware of, or maybe forgot). The way it works in Belgium is that everyone over 18 will have presumed consent, however you have the option to let the authorities know that you are in or out. This information will then be collected in a database, which hospitals can check in case something happens to you. If you never explicitly said you are in, your family can still object to organ donation. However if you did register that you opt in or out, that wish will (normally) be followed, and the family might not have a say in it anymore. Apparently you can also have told your GP or doctors or something about your decision without registering, as an informal way of letting them know. Though the formal way seems the best way, and quite easy (I just ticked the box when I needed to get my new identity card). I don't see how a similar system wouldn't work in the UK, as long as people are informed about it and it is easy for people to opt-out or specifically say they are in (so their family can't just veto it).

Can't you get shopping delivered? Or does that cost too much? We never leave the house for food shopping anymore, just get it delivered to our door. So convenient! Hated being stuck in the supermarket on a Saturday/Sunday.

Happy birthday Ashley! I hope it's been a good one!

Thank you for the birthday messages guys! And yes, D.Va is !

I think this is very exciting and will hopefully lead to much more space travel/exploration! There was also a live feed from the Tesla floating in orbit, which lasted for 4 hours. Very surreal to see a car floating in space, with the earth reflected on the bonnet haha.

I know, Copic markers were the ones I had been looking at as that's the ones I heard people use (years and years ago), but they are too expensive! Might look into this brand at some point then, see what they are like. Just to be clear, are these the ProMarkers you are using?

That looks awesome, and it's even better because it is Daft Punk! Would you recommend the Winsor & Newton markers? I've been interested in markers for years, but as they are usually quite expensive I've not dared to buy any in case I don't use them enough.

But they do get a year older! Happy Birthday @Fierce_LiNk! Here's to many more Overwatch games this year! Let it be a good one!

Happy birthday Glen-i and bob! Hope you both had a lovely day!

Thanks! I had looked at the Pensions Regulator website (and the form) and was very tempted to send it off... but then as I am the only employee, I was worried about the consequences. Because even if they can't fire me over this specific thing, I'm sure they could come up with some other excuse to fire me. Also, whenever the company is in financial trouble, it affects me too (late payments). Anyway, my boss just told me it should be getting sorted now and any backdated contributions should be taken out this month. I'll wait and see what happens. If he keeps messing up, I will just have to report him. That FreeAgent website looks very interesting! Might have to sign up for that if I get any freelance work going. Just need to figure out what exactly I want to do and how to get jobs ha! Do I need to inform my boss if I start doing any extra jobs, as it will affect my P60 or something? I'd rather not tell him to be honest.

Getting absolutely fed up with the incompetence of my boss... In August I asked my boss what pension scheme I would be enrolled in, as the mandatory sign up date for our company was in that month. I was supposed to be informed about this weeks before, so I think they forgot about all this. Anyway, he said I was set up with a certain provider and would receive a welcome pack in the post, and money would be deducted from my pay (a whole 1% (£11.77), with them paying 1% too, ha, cheapskates). I upped this to £150 to be deducted from my salary. I waited and waited, and no welcome pack showed up in the post. I reminded my boss a few times (at least once a month) and he said he would chase it up with them. Now almost half a year later, I decided to just contact the pension scheme myself to ask for more information about my account... And they told me I am not enrolled with them... I messaged my boss about this and he just said this morning that they have been having issues with the provider, thinking it was all set up in August but then they needed to provide more information, which they have but it still hasn't gone through. He said he is thinking of switching providers because he is not getting much help from them. Yet in the meantime, this money is still being deducted from my salary, and I am getting nothing for it. And on top of that I haven't received a payslip since July, despite asking for them every month. I want to confront my boss and say how unsatisfied I am with their incompetence, but I worry that will not do much or make things worse (it's not just the pension scheme stuff, my pay has more often been late than on time in the almost 4 years I've worked for them; I've been told there would be a bonus tied to the amount of work I do that never materialised; I've been told they would treat me to Christmas lunch a few times and even send me a Christmas present, all of which didn't happen; I don't get payslips unless I ask for them and I always have to remind them to confirm my leave as they ignore it otherwise...). I seriously want to start looking at going self-employed (part-time for now) and building something up from there, though I don't know what exactly yet. Does anyone know where I can find more information and guidance on how to do this? Is there any website that would offer help with this, especially the whole tax thing? I know nothing about this, at all, and it's the main thing that's been stopping me from going self-employed in the past. Just so fed up right now. Edit: Just got an email back from the pension scheme and they say there has been no activity on the account, so it looks like my boss is just straight up lying to me about trying to get things sorted. Do I call him out on this?

No worries, glad it fits on your screen now!

Would this work on your phone? If not I can move it over even more. And I can cut off all the excess red on the right if needed. Just let me know!

A list of recommendations would be lovely! I went with school when I was 18, so I know of some places to go to, but it has been quite a while. I just remember the city being lovely, plus we can take the train from there to Siena and Pisa. So far on my list are: - the Duomo - the Uffizi Galleries - Basilica San Miniato al Monte (gives an amazing view of the city) - Palazzo Vecchio - Ponte Vecchio Any more tips are welcome! Also, if he lives in Milan, tips for that city are welcome too haha. We'll try and visit the football stadium and of course check out the Duomo and the Galleria Vittorio. I just had to look it up, is that the Torre Argentina Cat Sanctuary? Caaaaats! Might have to go there!

So I finally bit the bullet (as prices kept going up) and ordered our tickets to go to Italy over the Easter break! Planning to fly into Milan, stay there for two nights, then move on to Florence for a few days (possibly also visit Siena and Pisa) and then go to Rome! Now I just need to sort out all the hotels/rooms, train tickets, museum tickets, sightseeing tours etc. And learn some Italian. Fun! Looking forward to it though!

That's going to be an interesting match to watch in this house! Go Belgiummmmmm!

Ah don't worry about me, it's only house stuff! We've had a plumber in on Thursday so at least the leak is fixed (means we can get the heating on again, yay). Waiting to hear back from the insurance company about getting someone in for the ceiling, but I think they forgot about me heh. It will get sorted eventually! I am so sorry to hear about your continued health problems, I was hoping the surgery would have fixed your issue. A hysterectomy sounds really scary, but if it is the one thing that will help with your health, then like you say, there might not be much else you can do. Would it be something you would have to get soon or can it wait a while? I really hope they can help you.

I enjoyed the first Battlefront game and spent loooooaaaads of hours on it, so I was kinda looking forward to this one... but if it takes that much time/effort/credits just to unlock cards and heroes, then I don't see myself enjoying the game much at all. I think I'll be skipping this game for now, unless EA fix this mess (seems unlikely).
