ffs, i was just on RDR 2 and was sat on my horse well back from a train when it killed me and the horse without ever touching me. When it reloaded, I had a new horse. The horse I'd had since the start of the game , through all the fights and highs and lows is gone forever cos of some whack-ass collision detection. I had to quit the game and really am pissed off enough at the moment that I might need to take a break from it for a day or two, but then I'll just be sad when I go back and see my shitty replacement. Definitely left it for the evening at any rate.

I having moved from Chrome to Opera recently and being generally happy with it besides a few niggles I decided to give firefox a go. I use 2 finger scrolling - drag 2 fingers down anywhere on my trackpad to scroll - and it works fine in all my browsers, and adds a little scroll bar to the cursor when you use it. However, in firefox randomly it leaves the scrollbar part of the curror on screen, and that is persistent, staying there if I close the window, switch to another program etc. and when I move my cursor over it it shows a loading spinning wheel. Anyone come across this problem and know how to fix it?

This is like a glamorous version of the ketchup machine

His legs are much too human to be furry and blue. So disturbing.

@TheMightyEthan I hope you're using all your spare time to encourage your cat to sit on that. @deanb what're your plans with a mortgage if that's not too personal?

i'd not realised there were so many of them - I will need to pay more attention as I go along.

who are your (and other people's) favourite camp characters?

Penis mountaineering does not wait for Santa.

I'm guessing this is a stupid question, but is there any point in a pro if you don't have a 4k tv?

Thanks to Sainsbury's, I bought RDR II, and Assassin's Creed Origins for £35 (for both, not each) of loyalty points so technically free? I'm kind of more excited to play Origins but I think I'll have to play RDR II first just because I'm a cheap bastard so don't often get to play games when other people still are on them.

I wish our nightmare could be over in six years max. This is exactly the predicament every sane person knew we would end up in - still bound by rules we now have no say in. In my terribly uninformed opinion I think the state aid part is going to be particularly ruinous for us as it already never seems to play out in our favour and having our own rules for that was actually one of the few silver linings I saw to the brexit cloud. I struggle to see how we could have had a worse outcome from the negotiations. Though it could actually be so bad that it does not get voted for by MPs and that would lead to a potential new referendum or even a general election. But that would require the conservative MPs to vote in the public interest rather than in a self-serving manner to keep themselves in power so I have little expectation of that actually coming to pass.

I can't say I'm not curious, but at the same time I do not particularly want to see it.

Just bought a ticket to Farmageddon and "all prices shown include administration fees and facility fee" so I naively assumed the face value would be the final cost. They charge a £1 something delivery cost for the e-ticket you print out yourself. Cheeky monkeys.

How'd everyone like the new Doctor?

Oceanhorn. Probably the worst game I've played to completion? I feel sorry for people who think it's an acceptable alternative to Zelda. It is not.

Ertha Kitt singing in Welsh. not sure why that tweet isn't embedding? anyway, this is a trip.

Sleeping Dogs Definitive Edition - I enjoyed it except the mandatory racing bits so completed all the optional stuff except the races and collectathons. The two DLC were enjoyable too. Three Fourths Home - was OK. More an interactive story than a game but it didn't outstay its welcome. The epilogue worked out OK but seemed unnecessary.

Congratulations on the continued weight loss/improvement in health. That's the hardest part - sticking at it - these things are easy to start. Seems like you're going about it in a healthy and sustainable way. Good luck.

Wahoo.

I stopped buying on Amazon and cancelled PRIME even though I got good value out of it (though it's not as fully featured here in the UK) as I'm trying to be a more ethically minded consumer. I could definitely do more on this front but honestly it's impossible not to tie yourself in knots trying to work it all out but some decisions are more obvious than others.

that's some futuristic looking weights - took me a moment to work out what they were.

I don't understand it but I kind of like it.

That's why I was so tempted when logically I should not get one. I could have had a go and sold it at a profit.
