He is a very poor predator. He’s the same with every other animal family member we’ve had.

I just had a foot long sub and I feel like a proper fat git.

But I’ve been sawing and chopping trees all weekend so kinda deserve it, even if I do feel like I’m going to explode.

How do we people eat these??

I actually really like games that look like applications. Probably because I’m a (desktop) application developer at heart.

Simulations in particular work really well.

It cleared itself as the race went on, hundreds of people I guess will do that and it wasn’t fed with new water

Someone was digging a warren in the sofa, and I caught the guilty party in the act!

Fortunately this is the family/TV room, none of the furniture is in any way precious

Is this for real? Do people actually make suggestions like that?

Personally, I’m tired of hearing about Roguelikes!

Where are we in the Terminator timeline?

Ignoring murderbots - notice what isn’t mentioned, mass drone surveillance of foreign peoples is totallly fine. No issue.

I sometimes think I should have been an architect. There’s something about brutalism that feels like the purest form of beauty.

Why would they not use NT server for that? The mind boggles…

Was it that bad? My memory might be vague, I mostly used Win2K to be honest, but did use it at work.

Being all serious…I started with the Speccy but found it frustrating, then a Beeb which was MUCH more usable for programming.

But it wasn’t till I got a PC and got access to proper dev tools and proper CPU an RAM that I could really enjoy it..

So why is XP that bad?

Black people ARE apes.

But then so are all humans. This is some Christian fluff about humans being special snowflakes to suggest we aren’t.

Although I did see that video and it WAS highly offensive.

I just love talking to new people, get a buzz sparking up conversation with randos. One of life’s joys.

In 30 years I’ll probably be one of those mad old people talking to trees and muttering to himself.

That should literally be a criminal offence.

I think you’re spot on with what inspired it.
