@Kidfried It'll be good working side by side, if he gets it, though. Brothers in arms.

Yesterday I had a rare day off, so my neighbour asked me if I could set-up a brand new PS4 for his kids which he had just purchased.
The bundle came with Spider-Man GOTY and Sonic Racing (?).
The kids are very young, but their excitement was infectious. So I got it set-up & popped in Spider-Man as I figured my neighbour would struggle to download the DLC- 3 hours apparently, but the kids just wanted to play Sonic.
So I popped in Sonic instead which was 15mins & the younger one kept saying that it’s taking forever every couple of minutes.
Really great moment. I’m not a dad yet, but I do look forward to introducing my kids to gaming.
PS. They only had one DS4, so I got to play first...because I needed to show them the controls😂

@RogerRoger They’re very young, but it did feel strangely satisfying😅.
I might just pick up the game myself.

Windows 10 reminding me of today being The Twelfth is absolutely batty. Like.. thanks, I guess? With the lack of drums and pipes waking me up at 8 in the morning, I'd almost forgotten!

@Draco_V_Ecliptic any long lasting relationship will have arguments at some point. that's just unavoidable.
the real test is how you solve those arguments.
solve them in person not via texts,always be civil in the aruments,don't turn it into a namecalling competition. don't restart the arguments out of stuborness. if you're partner start's the silent treatment,keep talking but in a calm way etc.
it's less about them being necessary but more about them being bound to happen at some point. altough relationships can benefit from them,again as long as you know how to handle arguments.
@Arugula Yeah think we discussed elsewhere on the forum when it happened with TLOU2. Something like having your gamertag linked to the site like they do on True Trophies and PSN Profiles seem the logical thing to do. At least that way you see how far they have progressed in the game too.
Life is more fun when you help people succeed, instead of wishing them to fail.
Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.
I think with any healthy relationship you need compromise, and there will naturally be some disagreements, that's perfectly normal.
These can be resolved without the need for an argument.
If you show you're listening to someone's concerns, showing respect and are willing to discuss and reach a fair compromise, I think if they're reasonable it's a lot easier to avoid any unnecessary drama and stress.
@Kidfried Shouting matches have always been a deal-breaker for me in relationships. Discussions with regard to disagreements conducted in civil tones without malice being involved are acceptable to me.

Thanks for all the input everyone, I definitely know how to handle arguments in romantic relationships from now on. Changing the subject now, has anyone played Conan Exiles? What are your thoughts?

Anyone know the slightest thing about plumbing? My kitchen sink’s drain gurgles whenever the boiler comes on for any reason. From my little knowledge, I reckon there’s air in the hot water pipe so I should turn the water off, drain the system and turn it back on. I really don’t want to mess with it before knowing that it won’t wreck things even more though. The plumbing in this house is an absolute nightmare.
@nessisonett Run every hot tap and shower in the house at the same time. Tends to work for me. Not massively environmentally friendly, like. I apologise in advance if your boiler explodes.
Good job, Parappa. You can go on to the next stage now.
@nessisonett assuming you have a condenser boiler the condense pipe (waste water pipe, water vapour is a product of combustion and it needs to get out of the system) is most likely plumbed into the same waste pipe as your sink. I expect that gurgling is the sound of the water in the P trap under your sink. You’d need a heating engineer to check the plumbing out really, I understand it can be potentially be dangerous, since other toxic products of combustion (carbon monoxide) can exit through the condense pipe (although most/all of it goes out the flue) along with waste water, and if you’re hearing gurgling those gasses, if present, could technically be getting released into your house through your plug hole. That said I really wouldn't worry and it’s very unlikely to be quantities that would be harmful but it would be sensible to get a pro to look at it, or maybe a co alarm at least, and you can thank me for saving you and your entire family another day.
@kyleforrester87 Ah, oh dear. My boiler is annoying and kills itself on a regular basis so that may be the issue. I’ll have a nosy tomorrow but it’s mostly a minor annoyance for now that I worry will develop into something worse.
