    Hey so like...

    My crippling egotism prevents me from posting anything on the internet which isn't a step-by-step dismantling of someone's wikipedia assembled flat tax proposal, followed by shrieking rap boasts about how good I am at reading fat books. I'm struggling to find a niche here.

    Favorite Non-Alcoholic Drinks

    For years my go-to coffee was a black coffee, but there's enough people in this country who don't know what "black coffee" means that I've wound up drinking enough white coffee that I'm now coffee-bi.

    IDK, discontinued products except in Zero Sugar version. They do a Peach Zero Sugar now, in stores, but I always thought aspartame tastes kinda bad. (I can tell when a G&T has been made with slimline tonic, bleugh)

    Favorite Non-Alcoholic Drinks

    Naw it isn't. Coffee can be pretty great. I'm all about that Arizona Green Tea with Honey but it's difficult to get here. I also like ehhh like, green tea, and coca cola. My fav was vanilla coke but they've discontinued full fat vanilla coke and made it sugar free... The thing that super-sucks about that is that the "any flavour of coke" machine in Five Guys now refuses to make full-sugar flavoured coke drinks, which is a colossal shame becuz it used to be that it would mix you a tangerine coke or whatever.

    Lost and Found

    What's some shit you've lost over the years? What's some shit you've found over the years? LOST: Most recently; The copy of True Grit I was reading, last seen on a bus A friend in uni lent me a Grocery Bag of dvd's, comics, and books to sort of switch me onto the counterculture & all that, I left it on a train. Had to reimburse him for £70 Had a zippo engraved, left it on a train About five or six Blu brand e-cigs Huge OKJ Bible, no idea where it went. How the fuck I lose a book that big. One croc Fav't sunglasses, Last seen being worn douche-style in the collar of a linen shirt, lost them running in the rain from one bar to another in Greece circa 2006. Sterling crucifix Sterling ring in the style of a belt And not strictly lost, just dumb, I once dropped a handgun on my foot. FOUND: Vertebrae, we assume from a marine mammal 2x drivers licences over the years, I put one in an envelope and mailed it, handed the other one OTC at the supermarket I was at My mate found a photograph of an intensely frightening looking old lady, carried it around with him for years and just randomly showed it to people. Dubbed her "Edna"

    For a while I actually hung out with one of the guys from that little work pub group, until one day I invited him to my house and, ok. No politics on this board right? Let's just say we got on the subject of the nineteen fourties and he sweshioned the shmoloshmausht and told me charlie chaplain was a great man and i told him to duck off. edit: Anne Frankly I didn't like him that much to begin with, WAHEYY

    Best nonalcoholic drink is green tea. It might feel classy drinking gevrey chambertain or some shit but let me tell ya boys, it doesn't feel anywhere near as classy on the way back up, or the day after being blasted at 300mph out your ass. Drink in moderation if at all

    For a while me and a couple of colleagues were semi-reg going to this one pub as a foresome. It was awesome! One guy got fired, Girl got fired, Guy got a job in Manchester... ? After nearly 100% staff turnover, been trying to get something cookin' with the new lot but they don't seem assed. Occasionally we go to one of the old guard's houses to watch the big fights on pay per view & to eat buffalo wings though, those are good.

    TBH I'm probably just going to trade off and pair him with someone who also doesn't try... I'm committed to leaving the damn company by Oct anyway so the transition should be done sooner rather than later. Worst thing is I think he's a good laugh and we have a time, sometimes, and if I leave the company I'll probably trade numbers and we'll go out for calzones now and then or some shit. Right now his being basically an OK guy just makes thing shittier, because he doesn't know how f*cked he is if he doesn't bucko up. ?

    Beer: Grimbergen Dubbel on tap or La Fin du Mode Red Wine: Nothing tannic tbh. Just anything that makes you go mm rather than bleh White: Imma sound like a Lady who Lunches but Chard Scotch: I like Islay scotch. so; Ardbeg or Laphroiag Cocktail: Depending on mood, a whiskey sour or a negroni. Gin: Plymouth, Beefeater or... And it's hard to find in Britain, plain Bombay. (as in; not Sapphire.) Bourbon: Bulleit Vodka: Absolut but I'm not really a vodka drinker, never had Grey Goose for instance. Wildcard: Sometimes I like a Fernet and Coke

    IDK wtf is going on with him, he basically wants the cat to stop shitting in his garden. Even with a fuckin flood of humane suggestions dude is convinced Lillies are the way to go, like he wants revenge on a cat or something. Tried to argue for clemency for this cat with arguments like "it's a fucking cat, dude." and "It might be some kid's cat." No dice. The dude I look after, I swear to God, I have bled trying to get him to engage with something, giving him info and directions to (IRL) forums for others with his condition, LGBT specific forums for others with his condition, taken him to hobbyist cafes and repeated the walking route he would need to take to get there Over, and Over, and Over again so he very definitely knows how to get there (He hasn't gone since), Taken him to a credit union to sort him an acct (which fell through), got him a damn job (didn't attend), found him var. workshops for making stuff (declared interest) and had him photograph the dates of workshops (didn't attend), related to him that there would be a large social with free food specifically for people with his condition (didn't attend) had Swift Playgrounds installed on the ipads so that he might l2code (noped out) signed him up to codeacademy (noped out) provided him with books and articles related to declared wants like being better at socializing, and nutrition (Tldr) Wanting to twist his head off is an exaggeration, but I definitely, at this point, spend an awful lot of my day thinking things like; "Hey if I'd have gotten hired by McDonalds instead of this Charity when I was a kid, I'd be a franchisee by now."

    Stand-Up Comedy

    Stand-Up Comedy has been something I've watched near-daily for years; but I have only very recently attended shows. First comedy gig I went to was Stewart Lee's "Content Provider" which is a hella weird first gig to go to, being as he is really Out There... Followed shortly by Dylan Moran. I seek out pretty much any Chappelle I can get my hands on, and I really rated Russell Brand a lot up until he decided to get grandiose and quite deluded ideas about being a Left icon... (So; competition) Dylan Moran bit I like; Illustrative of what Stewart Lee is like; deliberate contempt for audience; deliberately "fucking up" bits... He's just fuckin good and can sort of Tease every kind of laugh out of you, Awkward laughter, Nervous laughter... Then when the Joke happens (You get abt. 3 conventional jokes per set) you're laughing out of surprise and catharsis as much as the joke. One standup set I really didn't like what Katt Williams latest (I think?) Netflix special... Where during a fuckin NETFLIX SPECIAL he did about fourty minutes of material on The City in America he was in... Fuckin why make local interest comedy then put it on Netflix? IDGI. So; standup comedy, what do you like on telly? What have you seen in person?

    We live ensconced in books and also surrounded by taxidermy. From where I'm sitting right now I see abt. 200 books, and 4 dead animals. 5 if you count the vertebra we found at the beach. We assume it's a marine mammal but you never know, it might be from a dude. So; Imagine the Addams Family live in a crumbling Georgian terrace.

    So. What sarcastic point are you even trying to make here?
  24. Even the singleplayer experience benefits from the Lisa Simpson "Challenge you can do" effect tho w/r/t adapting controllers, accommodating colour blindness. Nah, you're right, games accommodating easy difficulty is good in some sense, but Winning feels best when it was Hard to get there. I say this as someone who is not good at videogames lmao Except sometimes. Idk. I think everyone deserves the "Omg I can't believe I actually managed to do that!" feelie.
