Well damn. That’s a pretty cool thing to do. Thanks for sharing.

Care to expand on that one? I know he’s ex military but haven’t heard anything like that before.

I’m not sure how this works if it’s never turned off? Are you always evolving someone’s head? Like 1 person in your line of sights head explodes per second or does everyone need you just get a headache?

That’s good to hear. I got to play some of the prologue yesterday and hearing the PDA boop in the intro took me right back. I’m looking forward to being immersed in that atmosphere again.

I was waiting for stalker 2. Super psyched to play it this weekend. The first 3 are some of my all time favourite games.

Have you tried fallout London?

My wife and I stayed with her parents for Christmas this year. We had a lovely day with them and her granddad. Her mum made an excellent Christmas dinner.

It’s traditionally a massive meal in the UK. Good could of days worth of calories.

Like green beans. Not baked.

The UK has turkey with all the trimmings. Roast potatoes, stuffing, Yorkshire pudding (oven cooked pancake mix), roast parsnips, carrots, Brussel sprouts, beans, pigs in blankets (sausage wrapped in bacon). Usually served with gravy and cranberry sauce.

My favourite is usually stuffing or pigs in blankets. Turkey is usually just worse chicken and roast potatoes need to be just right.

Honestly most cancer therapy is like that. Chemo and radio are basically working on the fact that your body is more resilient than cancer cells so they will likely die before you do. They are not pleasant things to go through. Surgery is your best option if it’s available and that involves chopping out chunks of yourself.

Dunno about diverse but deep rock galactic had the nicest community of an online multiplayer game I’ve ever encountered at least whilst I was playing it. Genuinely wholesome which is practically unheard of for an online multiplayer game.

We don’t as far as I know. St John is usually pronounced Saint John. Though English is weird and you might have come across a local pronunciation. Do you know where abouts in the UK that one comes from?

Something to talk to your therapist about maybe. Definitely focus on yourself as your priority though. Do things which make you happy, exercise, seeing friends / family, spending time outside.

Sounds like you’re still working through depression to me. Be kind to yourself, give yourself time to heal and work through things, I’m glad you’ve found a therapist that’s a great step. Do you think you want to go back to the industry or could you be avoiding it subconsciously? Something that has helped me a lot is journaling, you can wipe down your goals and break them down into smaller goals if needed.

I think that’s maybe a bit harsh compared to a lot of the games mentioned here. Witcher 1 definitely has a lot of problems compared to 2 and 3 but it had a lot going for it as well. Sure the combat was broken as hell once you got all the spinning moves and it was super sexist with the women as trading cards thing. But the story and world building were still fun and Geralt was well characterised. It’s not a great game but it did well enough to get them the sequels. Definitely nowhere near the worst game I’ve played.

Talk to your Dr again. Antifungal tablets have a not insignificant chance of messing with your liver, ie permanent damage so you should avoid them if you can.

Max Power Racing on the PS1. Surprisingly good fun. Plus I had to get it out of the way before I played Crash Bandicoot and Tomb Raider.

I’m playing it via an emulator and it’s working nicely. I didn’t realise there was a mobile port. Though I can see how it would work well for the touchscreen pretty easily.

I’m really digging advanced wars currently.
