Actually it looks like it’s actually been around for a few years, but it’s making the rounds on TV right now, as I’ve seen it during football and basketball games over the last few weeks.

@kyleforrester87 sorry I didn't reply to your post earlier. I was having my own meltdown 😅. It's good to have a vent though. I certainly feel a bit better about it. I am gutted for you that yours is something physical that you have to live with.
I can't offer any advice on any of your problems but it sounds like you've done the best you can with the bad hand you've been dealt. The fact you were even able to buy your own ex partner out of her cut of the property shows you've been doing something right all this time.
@Kairu Yeah, I very rarely watch actual network TV. Anything I watch now is through streaming services — Disney +, HBO Max, Amazon Prime, etc. About the only use of live network TV that I have is for sports. So we’re at the sweet spot in the year when all the major pro leagues in the US — NBA, NFL, MLB, and NHL — have been in action this month, so I’m watching some games and saw the ad both during NFL, NCAA, and NBA.
Incidentally, watching pro sports is also a good way to find out what movies are coming soon, since the trailers air during sports a lot too. Every now and then a video game ad shows up too, but it’s usually COD. 😝
Hi all, I'm going to delete my meltdown posts. I don't normally delete posts but I think they have served their purpose and their continued presence is possibly causing me anxiety. Everyone who was going to read them has probably read them and my replies to those who responded by now. Thanks again to those who responded. It's much much appreciated. Just wanted to explain my actions and why conversations in this thread may look one sided. I've saved copies of them for personal reference and if anyone else really wants to see them. Thanks
Cheers guys, sorry I did not reply to you all but your replies were all comprehensively read and very welcome - I should probably delete my comment too, not that I have any regrets but I am an easy future target with this username
Haven't read a news article in 2 days.. feeling better already!
@ralphdibny thanks too for sharing, I won't try to add anything. I guess I can just say if there's anything I could ever hope to do, let me know.
@ralphdibny@kyleforrester87 I'm a bit late to the party, but hope you guys manage to get through your current troubles. I think blokes tend to keep stuff like this bottled up, which can not be good in the long run.
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 haven't had network TV in years and don't watch nor care for sports so I have absolutely no reason to ever go back. Pretty much all the good shows now are exclusive to streaming anyway with Better Call Saul being the only notable cable show lately that I can think of.
@PegasusActual93 I really wish there was a sports only streaming service that had NBA, NFL, NCAA, and NHL and I’d just have that instead, because yeah - the other 200 channels of cable and network TV is absolute rubbish. Watching sports I see ads for the network shows and they look so B-tier compared to the Disney, HBO, Netflix, etc.
They are really pushing this show called “Ghosts” on Fox, I think. Looks awful. They have tons of these random crime, CSI or police type shows, an occasional teen drama like Divergent or Maze Runner with an apocalyptic backdrop which always looks nauseating, and somehow shows like Survivor, Masked Singer, and American Idol still keep going. And most of the rest is sitcoms that just give me cringe. Amazingly, The Simpsons keeps rolling, but I can’t imagine it’s any good nowadays. Bart Simpson should be, what — like 40 yrs old by now? 😅

Sonic Frontiers, God of War Ragnarok and today Rogue Legacy 2. Was just about to start up Ragnarok when I saw that they released RL2! Don't know if I should get it as well or wait until it's on sale because I absolutely loved the first game. Either way, great week for games!
Have any of you ever lived somewhere , where there was a lot of woods , peace, and nature and now they’re tearing it all down to build more houses ? this sucks . since 2021 there’s been nothing but construction going on here and they’ve torn down so much just to build more strip malls and gas stations and now they’re about to tear down the woods behind my house to build a neighborhood . 😡 i’m pissed .
@nomither6 Yes but at least you live in a country where there's plenty of land and have food and energy security.
I live in England which judging by all the construction work going on will soon be a real life Mega City One. Who needs trees, rivers, fields, fresh air, farmland and fresh water supplies to feed our ever growing population. I'm sure that won't spell trouble down the line...

A friend and I have been playing a bit of Resident Evil 5 co-op, we're playing Veteran difficulty - it's pretty intense, you do t finish encounters with much in your bag. For those familar with the boss on stage 1-2, you "need" to trap it in the furnace room and set fire to it to kill it, but we just managed to beat it knives only in the end after spending all our ammo. Not sure it was worth doing it the hard way, but it's quite a specticle :')
Also, while uploading this I checked out a Paul Kalkbrenner mix I uploaded a couple of years ago, from the 00's - it's slowly building up views, and I noticed Paul himself replied today asking me for a copy! Pretty cool I thought!! 🫠
@RogerRoger to be honest I couldn’t really hear/see what was going on I was laughing so hard, it’s perhaps one of those you had to be there for though 😂 didn’t look like it was possible, thought it’d keep coming back until it was killed the conventional way.
If you haven’t played RE5 Co-op, you should give it a go.
@JudgeDredd true , it is florida after all . aside from texas having no income tax i don’t see the appeal here if you can afford to live anywhere else .
There must be something going round, seems a few of us had a bit of a meltdown at the same time. Perhaps this is the male gamer equivalent of synchronised cycles.
