Holding a mobile telephone horizontally in front of yourself and shouting at it, then moving it to the side of your head, holding it sticking out from your ear horizontally to listen to what the other person says… instead of just holding it in one place to do both, like a telephone.
You can only use Apple Branded iSocks™.
If you want to use normal socks you need an adapter.
That “Mar-a-Lago” sounds strangely familiar. I wonder where I’ve heard that before?
The original long-winded quote is from GK Chesterton, but the shorter, neater quotable one is from Terry Pratchett, or more recently Neil Gaiman.
May his handful of Revels exclusively contain his least favourite flavour.
May his shopping trolley (shopping cart) always have a wheel which keeps sticking and steering him off to the side when he tries to go forwards.
You’re right to give it a little more detail - my slightly silly summary skipped over a lot.
Definitely not trying to belittle anyone, though I am slightly poking fun at myself :)
In a weird way, it’s kind of “so left wing it curled round the back and ended up on the far right”.
If you think of “left wing” as in “we support Pol Pot, Stalin, Putin etc” rather than “let’s open a community-run vegan art cafe to promote understanding between diverse social groups”.
It previously just showed a grey box to the right hand side, whereas now it shows a video thumbnail of the link.
I spend a hundred quid or so, every year for the last ten years on Steam (Steam for Linux onwards), but in exchange for that, I have several hundred quality games - probably more than I can ever play in my lifetime.
How are people spending so much on imaginary gold rings for “Sweetshop Diamond Solitaire Saga Origins”?
Is it simply a matter of there’s 100 of them for every 1 of me?
I never really bothered with the multiplayer mode in it - I know the game was built with a multiplayer back end, but they did promise a single player mode, and they do present the game as having a single player/solo mode.
Obviously different things annoy different people, and I do get what you mean about quitting and restarting etc, but it was enough for me to stop bothering to play it and play X4:Foundations instead. I did still get over a hundred hours play out of it, so I don’t exactly feel hard done by, but if quitting to the main menu works, then it’s clearly mechanically possible for them to let you pause it, they just didn’t want to.
I hate not being able to pause a game, particularly a single player game. I think Elite Dangerous solidified my hatred of this, by not telling you the game is still running when you’re on the “pause” menu.
“B-B-BU-BUT it’s a simulation and you can’t pause real life so it makes it more real”
It’s a game, even if it’s a simulation game. It’s a toy for grown-ups. A very nice and fun and relaxing toy, but a toy nonetheless. It’s not more important than a phone call, call at the door, crying child, hungry cat, partner who needs a hand with something etc.
This probably extends to being able to save anywhere and rejoin later, but I think that one is covered pretty well by everyone else :)
That would perhaps make sense, but it’s actually the “2TB model” (steam machine on its own) and the “2TB bundle” (steam machine with 1 steam controller)
