@Thrillho Don't you think he may be a bit rusty at first though?

@TheBrandedSwordsman Absolutely but psychologically for us (and not so much for the Aussies) it could be huge. Much like hearing if Steve Smith would or wouldn’t be fit to play.

Tesco (which is where I used to do most shopping) is no more in Poland so I went to a Lidl this morning and it was a traumatizing experience. I’m also still out of coffee because they didn’t have any (wtf).
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.

@Thrillho Did you see the result against Australia in the T20? Couldn't believe it, I don't think the Ashes will be like that somehow

@Th3solution I am considering a bit of a curve-ball for my next gaming endeavour - Fable II on the XBox 360, I hear you can't die in that game so there's really no way I shouldn't be able to complete it, crosses fingers Have you beaten FFVIIR yet? What are you onto next? How are you in general? Still enjoying the NFL & NBA?

@TheBrandedSwordsman A great result but not a shocking one given how strong England are in the short form.

And we didn’t even need Livingstone to bat.. but he did alright with the ball!

@TheBrandedSwordsman Hey buddy! Yeah, I was just about to post my thoughts on the Final Fantasy thread, as I completed the game today. Overall it was a great game, but it was quite difficult at points. There ended up being some tough bosses down the stretch, but none I couldn’t defeat without a little strategy. Only once did I want to throw my controller. 😅

I’ve always wanted to try the Fable series. It sounds great and really unique with how the choices you make affect the world. Let me know how you get along with it!

For my next game I’ve started up Resident Evil 3 Remake (another PS1 remake 😄) and it’s wonderful so far. I played RE2 Remake not too long ago and this feels very similar. I’m still playing through Rime in my down time when I need a slow paced game to unwind.

I like the NBA being back in action and the NFL, but I drift in and out of it depending on my mood. Otherwise it’s just more of the same in my life. 😄

@Kidfried I just couldn’t imagine caring that much.

@lolwhatno I see it as an automatic red flag if someone unironically likes Elon Musk.

Currently an absolute nightmare in Glasgow with this climate thing. The whole city’s ground to a halt between the protests and the security for the world leaders. Thankfully I’m a bit out of the city centre but any closer is basically a no-go area.

Gotta love PS UK tweets.

@Thrillho Did you hear about Buttler being the first English cricketer to score a century in all forms of the game the other day? Did you see the result against Sri Lanka? Apparently we are almost guaranteed a place in the semi-final now. On a side-note, what is up with Jordan's sweat? I think he may have some sort of condition as he is always drenched in it no matter what country he is playing in. 🤣

@TheBrandedSwordsman Yeah, pretty impressive to get the century from a 6 off the last ball (but what a terrible ball it was!).

Can’t say I’ve seen Jordan’s sweating but I can empathise as I seem to be like that after a run, no matter what the weather is like..

My cat doesn’t understand the concept of daylight savings and time change. Honestly neither do I but I accept it and he does not, so now he harasses me for food an hour early.

Went on the big climate march in Glasgow today. I probably have Covid now because there were genuinely thousands of us but hopefully it sends a message.

@Thrillho Did you see the result against South Africa? Disappointing eh? But at least we're through to the semi-final. And now Roy is injured to boot. I reckon the final will see us play Pakistan, who do you think will win out of the two teams?

@Jimmer-jammer @colonelkilgore My next game will be Fable II on XBox 360, a game where you can't die - I can't lose! Are either of you familiar with the Fable series of games? What game(s) are you currently playing?

@TheBrandedSwordsman yeah I actually played Fable 2 during my dalliance with xbox back during the PS3/360 era. It was decent from what I remember. The only issue I had was, at the time I was a hard-core Elder Scrolls fan... and it wasn't Elder Scrolls. I may like it more now as Elder Scrolls just aren't my litmus test anymore.

Hope you enjoy buddy, I'll be interested to hear how you get on 👍

@TheBrandedSwordsman Yeah, it's sad for Roy but at least we've got pretty great strength in depth for batting. And as I've said before, I will always fancy our chances in the short form, even after the slightly disappointing loss in the last match.

Played them loads of times each but… I am a bit tempted to put everything on hold and start GTA 3: Remastered tomorrow. I probably won’t as I’ve got more than enough on my plate atm but I am definitely a lot more excited to play them now on the eve of their release than I was a few months back.
