Thank goodness the translation is there. Who knows where I'd have put that if it just had MOBIELE TELEFOON written on it.

Not sure what dialect it is. Geordie perhaps? 🤣

I’m at the seaside (good), in an arcade (great), there’s Time Crisis 4 (excellent) and some weirdo has inexplicably left it with 5 credits in it (perfect).

[Hirst]

Went again yesterday and there was another credit left in it. Starting to wonder if the arcade is just feeding credits into it to make it look busy.

Went to Krispy Kremes on Sunday morning with the kids, waiting in line as they look at the display to work out which they would like and a couple in front absolutely insisted on buying them a box of 6 to share because it is Eid

Firstly, this interview was amazing.

Tilly Lockey is an amazing person and she was brilliant, funny and charming in this interview where she talks about her prosthetic arms with the engineer that helped create them, Joel Gibbard, who clearly thinks a lot of her



Secondly, apparently Joel was inspired when he played with Lego as a kid.

Finally, another of the team members said he was inspired to become a biomechanical engineer after playing Deus Ex!

My 2 year old yesterday morning as I was leaving the house for work, out the blue, “love you daddy! Have a lovely day!” And tottered off like it was no big deal, it was definitely a big deal to me 😊

Just got 40 out of 40 on my A1-A3 drone competency test

I bought a Sony UBP-X700 UHD blu-ray player the other week with the intention of later buying and installing a modchip to make it region free. I ended up buying a unit used on eBay as I found one for about half the usual RRP. With no mention in the listing at all it arrived and is already region free. A real stroke of luck!
