@TheBrandedSwordsman yeah all moved in thanks buddy 👍.

I'm loving the house.... and we're getting there slowly. Still, we've had a few issues with furniture orders etc, the King size bed we ordered had tears in the fabric, our TV unit should've turned up on Friday but still no news and a company has taken our money for a sideboard and then immediately cancelled our order. We're on top of all 3 though, so hopefully we'll get them all resolved sometime this week.

As for the house itself, it's perfect. As it's brand new it has all the mod cons. Detached 4 bedrooms and on a 3 property cul-de-sac, so its real private. Neighbours seem lovely... even had us over Friday evening for drinks. The garage is currently full of cardboard boxes so my gym is on the back-burner but my game room is getting close to being complete.

I'm off work for the next two weeks, so really looking forward to totally embedding myself here.

@TheBrandedSwordsman I can’t say I’ve ever seen or heard of a cricket bat guitar before! Sounds good fun though

@Thrillho Yeah it's a great cricketar! body of a cricket bat, neck of a guitar, anyway. Been following the friendly against India in the T20 World Cup? Looks like they were just toying with us at the beginning of their innings.

Stumbled upon a YouTube video just now reviewing the Evercade VS… and although I’d probably put little more than an hour or two into it if I actually ended up buying it… I’m so tempted! Please, someone speak some sense into me before I preorder something that will just take up dust and gather space… or the other way around.

Or, am I just being cynical and should I unleash my inner arcade-attending 12 year old and crack on?

@Thrillho Did you see the result of the England v Windies T20 match? What a result!, eh?

@TheBrandedSwordsman I only saw the result but they were some tasty bowling figure for England

And it sounds like there's been some good games today too.

@Thrillho Yeah I know you only really follow England but India v Pakistan was interesting as it was the first time Pakistan had won against India in the T20 World Cup, and they did it by 10 wickets! What do you think about that?

@TheBrandedSwordsman Yeah, pretty mad result and I imagine the atmosphere would have been incredible.

And I guess you're heard the news about Ben Stokes declaring himself fit for the Ashes!

@Thrillho No I hadn't heard that, great news!!!

@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.
