I saw my wife playing this years ago, and always fancied having a go, but never got around to it.

So a few months back we got it going so it could stream to our Apple TV and off I went. Spent a few weeks playing it in the evenings and having a nice time.

Then Ubisoft put out an 'update' to it, that broke it completely. A massive update for a ten year old game. Cunts.

So I guess I'll never finish it, because fuck Ubisoft.

Yeah, my reaction to losing them is a good chunk of why my wife suggested not getting any more. I don't deal with it very well. I go to pieces, quite frankly. When I took Feegle for his last trip a few months ago, the vet's receptionist asked if I wanted to wait in a quiet room, no doubt because my sniffling and dribbling was putting off the other customers.

But Feegle was adorable.

Of the five we had, Wilbur was by far and away the pointiest of nose, and the most questionable of parentage, but I still loved him. He could yoink a Cheerio like nobody's business.

This was Nac, Mac, and Feegle, at about eight months old, I think.

It was really hard to take good photos of them...

I love fixing up classic iPods, and as much as I enjoy it, any mention of it comes with "but why?", then the person asking refuses to understand why I still like using iPods even in this time of streaming music.

As others have said, there's always an adjustment period, and before you know it you'll be doing it without even thinking about it.

When I started at my current workplace five years ago, I was out of shape after spending almost ten years either at uni, or in a succession of office jobs. So going back on my tools as a welder was a massive shock that I wasn't really expecting. But suddenly, six months or so in, I realised that I was finding the work much less physically demanding, which felt really gratifying. I wasn't fit by any means (I never have been), but fit enough to do the work.

Then, 18 months ago I got promoted to a desk job, and I'm fat as shit again. I'd be fucked after a day back on my tools.

"Look at that subtle off-white colouring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my god, it even has a watermark."

I disagree. Linus shooting from the hip and making himself look an even bigger ass is incredibly entertaining.

Big shout out to them leaving the links to LTT merch in the description. Venal fucks.

It's not just "YouTuber drama" though; LTT have positioned themselves as The Grand Knowledge on all things tech, so a good number of people turn to them for recommendations. And their recommendations are questionable.

that (mostly) just works.

FTFY

As a Mac user since 2007 it feels like that statement gets a little less true every couple of years. But for me it’s still light years ahead of Windows when it comes to my workflow.

Huh, and I've never even used Windows 11...

Personally, I'm continuing my efforts to not be a racist piece of shit.
