right all,

I’m off for a coffee and a walk with a friend (that’s right, I get to do fun old people boring stuff that’s actually nice and relaxing) stay positive in my absence x

I’m not superstitious at all but for some reason I’ve got a bit of a phobia of listing positives just incase it somehow makes something bad happen. Haha!! Mental. So yeah… I’ll just stick with sushi. It’s not too awful if that doesn’t work out.

well I’ll wish you a nice prosperous day so that’ll cancel out any bad vibes maaan!

Thanks! The latter, but also I got hold of a projector recently so it’s sort of both.

Super Mario World is amazing. The artwork given how many pixels/colours they had to work with is incredible. The gameplay too, difficult to surpass.

I am drinking less (though still some) and it is so much better.

  • generally feel like work is going ok atm and not daunted by the promotion I’ve taken on, yet

  • BABY ON THE WAY

Man I don’t think I could ever get married, the stress of getting everything right alone would be a killer. Other people’s weddings though? Just an excuse to eat nice food and have a good time. Ah I’m sure you sound great, I used to hate my voice but I’ve actually had compliments on it can you believe?!

Aw, young love! :slight_smile:

yeah it’s one of a handful of games I couldn’t think of any obvious way to improve given the tech.

mega congratulations on the baby and the promotion and the commute and the money and the life!

I tend not to drink out during the week so can’t really help too much tbh. I do Sunday evening to Thursday evening off of the booze, then will drink on Friday and Saturday evening. Going well so far.

My problem was drinking at home during the week. I’d drink 4 tins of lager an evening, purely out of boredom/habit. So knocking that on the head and drinking peppermint or redbush tea has sorted me right out

I drink a lot of beer, so I try and stick to halves if I’m out to regulate my consumption. Can keep up with mates but it helps curb it a bit.

If anything I think low/no budget stuff sounds more interesting coz you’ve got to figure out how to do stuff within your constraints. Either way if it’s about stuff you’re DEAD into I’m sure the enthusiasm will carry you through. I have @scout a hand with a podcast for her MA the other week and even though I only read what she’d written for about ten seconds I really enjoyed it. I mean obvs working with scout is dead easy coz she’s just about the most interesting person I’d like to do more. I don’t want to be that guy with the podcast about nothing, mind you. Maybe a radio show? I think radio would be fun. Idk. I’m sure yours will be ace tho :+1:

Oh yeah my posis:

:+1: my Gran just rang, she’s invited her and my grandad to ours tomorrow night for a Chinese takeaway

:ok_hand: got some leftover crumble for tonight

:muscle: work is going pretty well finally, been a right shitter for a bit but I feel like I’m getting somewhere, which is nice and a weight off my mind
