Tried a bit of gaming this morning for the first time since burning my wrist and hand… thought it’d be fine but was surprised by how much jip it was giving me… harrumph!

@colonelkilgore sorry to hear you've burnt yourself!! Hope you get on the mend soon 👍

@R1spam @lolwhatno ah it’s all good guys, my fault for rushing and being negligent if I’m honest. Gonna try another sesh a bit later.

A shame that we can’t comment on the Frogwares interview (surely almost everyone is on the one side?) but I guess understandable considering. I really loved their Sherlock Holmes game and my mum did too so it was heartbreaking seeing what the devs have been going through. I do hope they look after themselves.

It'd only take one moron going on about Putin protecting his people from chemical weapons labs funded by globalist elites or something for the entire comment section to go sideways.

@Ralizah That’s the way of things. And if I remember right, there may have been some of that in an NLife article before they started automatically shutting the comments. Guess the Kool-Aid is awful tasty.

@nessisonett Heartbreaking but also inspirational. I sometimes struggle to clear my head for work so to do that in a war zone, that's incredible.

Not fun fact: I had an interview at Frogwares two weeks before the war kicked off.

I hope they're ok. Hopefully the announcement today about opting out of importing oil to the EU should help to put the brakes on this ludicrous war.

@lolwhatno Good luck. I'm kinda curious about VR, but I don't really have enough money. Always nice when you get something free, right?

@lolwhatno
Good luck. Hope the gamble pays off for you.

@lolwhatno Good luck, and I hope that your confidence translates into success. While it sounds like a bit of a downer not having the PS4 while you're at uni I'm sure you'll have plenty to do without it

@kyleforrester87
Oh nice! I do love The Midnight, definitely one of the best Synthwave bands going. I listen to them a lot. I think Memories is probably my favourite track from them at the moment. Sounds like a great night.

@LieutenantFatman I honestly thought they’d be a let down live (and having seen some videos on YouTube they looked a bit underwhelming) but they really knocked it out the park. Never been to a gig with such an excited crowd lol. Really recommend you see them if you ever get a chance!

Today is the first Eurovision semi final. The whole year has been building to this moment.

@Thrillho What do you think about Stokes being made Captain after Root stepped down? He broke records in county cricket recently but the NZ match next month will be a different kettle of fish. Will you be following that online?

@TheBrandedSwordsman That recent match for Durham was ridiculous

I think he’ll be great so long as he’s in a good place mentally now. The appointment of Brendon McCullum as coach is quite a brave, but exciting, one though!

@Jimmer-jammer The track Soloing in Am is one I'm more proud of and is more traditional jazz than the others on there, it would be great if you could let me know what you think. https://www.soundcloud.com/ltomlinson9 if you need the link again.

Every time Xbox have a little bit of bad PR like Starfield being delayed, Jim Ryan just lets out another wet fart. It’s actually impressive.
