Bit late to the party, but something to be aware of if you’re buying Solovair. I have a pair of astronaut boots, had them for about 20 months, worn them almost daily and I need to get them resoled now. I went to my local cobblers and they said they don’t do Solovair, they just do glue jobs. I went to Solovair (I’m local to their factory) and they said that they’re currently doing so much business that they’re not able to offer resoling. They provided details of two webshops (keycobbler.co.uk and bootrepaircompany.co.uk) who do offer this service, but that involves sending them off for weeks and weeks. So I’m going to need to buy a second pair of boots to wear while my first pair are out for repair. And the resole is a significant chunk of the original boot cost: I spent under £170 on the boots, and they’re going to cost £70 to resole plus shipping.
I’m still going to do it, I love them and I’d have spent a similar amount on trainers in the same period just through wear and tear, but it’s not particularly a money saver or a convenience.
I guess that when I do have two pairs I’ll be able to rotate them daily so this will be something that comes up every four years rather than every two.
They were pretty direct remakes with a few new bugs and a controversial art style. I was never a big DPP fan and the remakes failed to change my mind.
I do think any future remakes will be different though, i vaguely remember a story about ILCA who made BDSP and I don’t think they exist in the same form as they did when developing the game.
There’s a lot of potential options. Gen V remakes are next on the main series remake list. Let’s Go and Legends were both sort-of-mainline-ish games that would be about right for a sequel. I’m betting there’s still more DLC for SV. And wasn’t there a rumour about another Detective Pikachu movie?
How dare you “two YouTubers” unname then when one is Ashens, king of tat, lord of the brown sofa.
It’s on his second channel for those interested.
Hoplite maybe? It’s on mobile but is a lot of fun.
I’ve not finished it yet due to limited gaming time but it’s clearly not that long. It feels like it should have some replayability but I don’t think it’s very unreasonably priced. Probably not ideal if you’re looking to squeeze every hour of entertainment out of your dollar though.
Terra Nil is mentioned in the article but I must give it a recommendation, it’s very chill and restoring a wasteland or ruined city to a thriving ecosystem is a great counterpoint to building a bustling city.
Depending on how young / careless your bairn is, you could reduce splashing with a narrow-necked receptacle? I’m thinking of something like a glass bottle barely wide enough to receive the frother, so there’s not space for the milk to easily escape.
I’m with you, I’m a big nerd but rarely bounced so hard off a sci-fi show as I bounced off Fringe.
I cannot imagine how the patreon user who just received an espresso machine the price of a small car must feel. Very cool move from James.
While I’m aware of the Welsh independence movement, I’m never sure of quote how legitimate a force it is. Compared to the SNP, which have been a big voice in UK politics, Welsh independence always seemed like a fringe view and unlikely to lead to a referendum. I’m prepared to be wrong on that, so I’ve set up a few prediction markets (play money) on Welsh independence if anyone wants to weigh in.
Play-money prediction market: will the exploration find Nessie?
I guess I’d caveat that I’ve never really enjoyed any of the TV adaptations, but they keep making them, so someone must be enjoying them!
The Long Earth series is brilliant, I really enjoyed it. It doesn’t feel very Pratchetty but it scratches an alternate universe sci fi itch in a very satisfying way.
Massive Pratchett fan here so I’m giving the new series of Good Omens a go, and I don’t know why I keep subjecting myself to TV Pratchett adaptations.
There’s the odd giggle, and I like the actors, but three episodes in it just goes nowhere, it’s just a series of skits with Aziraphale and Crowley.
They’re only one component of what made the book great, but I get the feeling that the production crew have gone “Tennant and Sheen are great, the show is now only about them”.
Someone has probably pointed that out to her by now. I was almost tempted to tweet at her asking but I doubt I’ll get a coherent response.
You see what happens, anti-ULEZ voters? You give a hint of wanting to use your cars, and desperate Sunak promises to let you drive like Mad Max in a school zone so long as you please, please vote for him.
Starting the week with a play money prediction market: Will Nadine Dorries stand down before September?
My suspicion is Yes, as she should resign at the end of the month to ensure her by-election occurs the Thursday before party conference.
Was this game named by a Bojack Horseman character?
New Futurama is starting to appear on Disney+. Watched the first one last night, and it’s good. Got a few chuckles, re-set the scene, it’s not the absolute peak of the show but if it maintains this level of quality then I’ll not be upset about it being revived again.
Where would one go to get a custom made backpack with double stitching?
