Now the guy across the road is using a (very loud) pressure washer to scour his already clean roof until it shines. He seriously needs a hobby.

Does anyone know if the Elden Ring DLC will let you pause the game? I'm done with single-player games that don't acknowledge the existence of human bladders.

The first Dragon Age trailer looked like yet another hero shooter, but the gameplay video and subsequent revelations (single-player RPG, offline, no micro-transactions) have allayed my fears, and I might actually be excited now?

For a few months now, I've been struggling with increasing pain in my right shoulder, and it has recently started affecting my photography. This week, it was diagnosed as adhesive capsulitis ("Frozen Shoulder"). 1/7 (Juvenile male Gang-gang Cockatoo)

I finally watched Godzilla Minus One tonight. It's a smaller and more intimate story than the recent 'monsterverse' epics. The post-war Japan setting takes Godzilla back to its roots, with a heartfelt exploration of survivor's guilt and the value of living. Refreshing.

My GP made me do the mental-health questionnaire after being weaned off my antidepressants. My results were: Anxiety - Severe Stress - Very Severe Depression - Very Severe. Long story short: I'm back on antidepressants 🤡
