Yeah it's far too easy. I appreciate the accessory things from an accessibility point of view, but even without them, it's not exactly going to cause you any issues. 

Development of the Last of Us Online game has been ended by Naughty Dog in favour of focusing their teams on the development of single player narrative games. 

Wheeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Hopefully the beginning of the end of Sony's live service plans. 

I love long form analysis videos on YouTube. And I do mean long. The master of the format is probably Tim Rogers who will do 6+ hour reviews, but my favourite are the guys from Resonant Arc. 

Normally I watch video game related reviews, but they do some film ones too. Here's their Jurassic Park review which really emphasised to me what an incredible movie it is (with the only real down side being some utterly daft continuity errors which I can remember even as an 8 year old not making any sense and really annoying me).

If you have a spare 4 hours and like that movie too, but perhaps wonder if it actually is good or whether the greatness you associate with it is down to nostalgia...this answered that question for me. I haven't watched it for years, but have a hankering to now. 

Glad you're enjoying it. It's very much an ACTION rpg, which for a lot of long standing FF fans was the biggest criticism as there was not enough RPG. The second biggest criticism was the difficulty - even on the NG+ mode. Apparently the DLC which just came out does a lot to address that though.

I’ve been having very similar problems over the past 7 years. Each time I end up in hospital, get patched up, sent home then we wait for the inevitable kidney pain, temperature, urgency to pee, etc This recurrent infection has made my MS symptoms get gradually worse. I can only get about with a Zimmer frame now! Worst case I had was the start of this year, I had Covid, pyelonephritis and urosepsis. The fever and pain had me hallucinating, I thought at one point I had been teleported to Australia!
Most recently I’ve been in hospital twice, october and November. I’ve been out for 2 weeks. I’ve got a catheter, which is both a pain and a blessing. I’m currently meant to be getting better at home, I sleep most of the day. 
from my experience, gps will prescribe you broad spectrum antibiotics where you probably need a fairly specific type. In my case this is usually done a couple of days after the broad spectrum antibiotics haven’t worked and after a culture blood test is taken and a specific antibiotic is then given. This is happens only if I am in hospital though. 
if your temperature goes over 39, don’t mess around call 999. have you got a thermometer at home?
For pain and temperature relief keep taking paracetamol, as much as you are allowed of course. I found morphine was the only thing that really took away the pain, it also had me watching the telly tubbies dance around in a picture on the hospital ward wall. 
Apologies if this makes no sense, after my latest stint in hospital I’m really struggling to make my mind work properly. I’ll go back to bed now. 

The transported to Australia bit sounds OK, not sure about the rest. 

Has the actual cause of your infections been identified? One GP suggested to me it was bad luck which seemed...rather anti climactic? 

I did get the impression that a couple of the GPs expected me to fess up to some unusual sexual habit which may increase my risks, but no.

Yeah, we've had a proper thermometer since the height of Covid. It's quite handy actually. My temp at it's worst was around 38, so not anything that concerning. Yet!

Eh, he's OK. No JP though is he? 

I really wish at kick off he'd say '3, 2, 1...ACTIVATE' 

OH yeah, great result last night. Special shout out to Carlos' long ball distribution. 

For God's sake do not seek it out to find out how truly awful it is, but there's a BBC one with Alan Carr where they show pictures, and the contestants have to say what it is. Say, a Toblerone, with the name blurred out. That's it. 

Think it's called Alan Carr's What's Dis

Yeah i know thats the reason but the whole formats wrong.

I mean only bbc show i watch is dragons den and maybe apprentice. 

I dont watch anything else or listen to radio stations. Also as we know their news coverage is very biased. 

Personally do hope they abolish the whole thing and come up with a new way. Whether thats ads, subscription to those that want bbc or something else.

Do you watch or record any live TV at all? If not, or if you do but only a little, I'd suggest you stop watching anything live on any device at home, stick to streaming, cancel your TV licence DD, and notify them you don't need it. 

No good moaning about it when cancelling it is a very viable option now, especially when you may have subs for Netflix, Apple, Amazon, etc...if you don't need it, cancel it. 

Season: A Letter to the Future

Theatrhythm Final Bar Line

Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters I - VI (does this count??)

Sea of Stars

Jusant

Bluey: The Videogame 

No space for FFXVI I'm afraid, I think I'd love Hogwarts Legacy, Star Ocean Second Story R, Persona 5 Tactica, both of this year's Like a Dragon games, both of this year's Legend of Heroes games, Cross Tails, Dredge, Trinity Trigger...they'll go the list.

There was a few in lower Doug Ellis, pretty sure they got escorted out

Same in A1 and A2 in the Upper Trinity, one of them got a slap on the way out by a Villa fan, stewards were incredibly slow to react. This was after their equaliser. 

AEW's Full Gear show was decent, Swerve showing that he can go really, really hard when necessary - but let's not forget he was part of the best televised north American death match ever in Lucha Underground, and has participated in CZW's Cage of Death when that actually meant something. 

His match against Page might be worth watching purely to give context to Jim Cornette's comments/review of it, which is absolutely hilarious (or horrifying depending on your point of view). 

AEW have also just announced their 2 blocks of 6 wrestlers, and the rules, for their version of a round robin tournament, the best worldwide example being the G1 Climax in NJPW. It's been a long time coming, and it'll be interesting to see how they handle it from a booking perspective as New Japan have done some interesting things over the years to keep it interesting. 

Don't know about £20, but it's £14 on The Game Collection (for the PS4 game, there's a free PS5 upgrade).

I guess they're clearing stock as the Ultimate Edition has just been announced.

Horrific where I am in North West. In a caravan and don't feel safe at all.

Is that anything to do with the weather, or just in general?

I predict this will be worth picking up.

My daughter loves Lilo and Stitch. She'll happily watch any of the movies or the series. I can't remember there ever being much of a fanfare about it in particular, but since her interest in it, I've been seing themed stuff everywhere. 

And I mean everywhere, almost like I'm being mocked. The other day a guy on a scooter drove past me in Cov, had a Stitch cover thing on their helmet. Bizarre. 

Only one word for that. YEBOAH.

Amazing. I saw one on Reddit recently where you're got some classic JR commentary from either a Hell in a Cell or TLC match, over the top of two kangaroo's fighting where one throws the other through a fence. 

I'm not sure it should be quite as funny as it is. 

Really pleased to see the Star Ocean 2 remake getting some awesome reviews. It always was a great game, and it seems to be one of those remakes that manages to balance QoL features with a graphical upgrade which is in line with the original art design. 

Has anyone mentioned Bedworth yet? Not sure how infamous a place it is, perhaps I only know as I live next door...but they brand themselves 'the town that never forgets', have a poppy drop most years, and generally turn it in to a big old wankathon. 

Went back and finished the main quest line this week - the only things left to do in the entire game (I think?) are all of those stupid markers in the oceans of Skellige, and I can't imagine anyone has ever done all of them. 

Well, I've got a few odd trophies to do for plat too, I guess. 

I really loved the ending I got, I can't imagine there's a better for one my Geralt. It was just perfect (except for me wishing that there were some 'my ending' appropriate post game quests).

The game was so good I immediately fired it back up for an NG+ on Death March difficulty. And I'm the sort of gamer who barely ever plays on the hardest difficulty.

Apparently the Saudi clubs are really annoying in the game and will just constantly bid for your players

I've seen very average PL quality players go to SA sides and earn £500k+ a week, it's mad. No idea what's going on with the finances of the clubs, can only assume the AI injects massive amounts of money in to them each season, ala the real 'public fund'.
