Yep.

It’s why I don’t go to the cinema anymore. People are cunts.

Correct

Light novel first, then manga, then the Hollywood adaptation

The manga has the additional story

If you live somewhere rural…birdwatching.

Combination is the best way.

Want to reheat a pizza slice? Microwave for half a minute/minute then in the air fryer to crisp it up. Ends up better than the first time around many times imo and done in seconds if you heat the air fryer up to 200°c first

Might be worth trying with a screenshot of the intro of Xenoblade - it’s a pure white background for a lot of it.

Yes, extremely easy to set up for schools, cheaper than alternatives, and simple to problem solve for teachers.

EU commission, really. That’s the only way

Not at the same speed or ferocity, no.

The problem is, we are increasingly a minority. The majority of people now see nothing wrong with using default browsers and apps, they see ads as completely normal, they trust Google, tiktok, etc with no issues.

Bear in mind whereas I grew up with what I call the golden age of the internet, late 90s to late 00s, those today know nothing different than the internet as it is now. I’ve tried explaining this to people before - the response is always indifference. Apply that to the countless millions (billions?!) of mainstream users worldwide. It’s sad, but it’s how it is.

I honestly think the only way this is going to be stopped is if and when the EU commission step in.

Didn’t help when one flew up behind us on a narrow pavement, no warning, smashed into my best mate and broke his leg. If it was my daughter it would have killed her. This is one instance among almost daily occurances of near misses when I’m walking of cunts on e-bikes and e-scooters speeding with zero care on narrow pedestrian walkways that are already NOT suitable for pushbikes, let alone anything else. Why not use the fucking road?!

They need to be fucking controlled and serious penalties brought in for those who use these without care for others.

But I live in a rural English town where the most exciting thing that happens is the elderly folk fighting over who has control over the flowers near the rectory. Are you saying they are russian agents? For real?

Edit: and now you’ve edited your post, making mine seem like nonsense.

Xenoblade has no relevance to anything that came before it (aside from a small couple of references).

Xenoblade 1, 2, 3 can be played in any order. They are self contained aside from certain references. 1 is more serious, 2 vastly more light-hearted (for most of it, anyway). 3 takes place countless centuries after the other two with references to them in certain circumstances, removes the anime-ness of 2 and makes things vastly more serious. There’s really nothing lost playing them out of order.

Playing in order gives you the “oh shit, it’s that place”, or person or music or whatever experience as you go on, but you would get that just as easily in any order I’d imagine. And the game works great on Yuzu on PC in 4k too.

Edit: yes there is an overarching plot in the trilogy, which reaches its conclusion in 3’s expansion. But the games are structured in a way that is best for new players while rewarding long term fans.

Xenoblade 3.

a world where each person only has only ten years to live and is forced to fight throughout in a never-ending war between two nations in a decaying land. There’s a lot of depth surrounding the main characters, especially joint protagonist Mio who has only 3 months life remaining at the start of the story. Game gets real fucking dark.

And nah you don’t need to play the first two to enjoy it, as long as you avoid the DLC expansion as that’s the series conclusion.

Edit: also the most believable and well written romance between two characters I’ve ever seen in a game and the fantastic VA makes a huge impact (all UK talent - Mio’s VA is better known for Peaky Blinders, Jenna Coleman is better known for Dr Who, for example). And anyone who says they didn’t cry in chapter 5/6 is a liar.

Cuuuuunts. I passed my driving test 16 years ago now, and even in that time I’ve noticed a huge increase of the amount of cars on the road. These schemes are essential, or at the very least needed as a starting point

Worked fine for me in the UK, not sure if Google play counts us as in the EU these days or not
