I love my job (teaching children) - but it can be mentally exhausting dealing with everything outside of the classroom at times. I’d never say it grinds be down, at least not yet - but it would be nice to only have to deal with teaching children and nothing else.

This thread is wonderfully illuminating, in a sad kind of way.

This but with chapter 12, no Eternal Darkness but a lot of working/sleeping thrown in the mix.

I’ve listened to half of the latest bombcast and is it just me, or does it feel lessons friends talking mostly shit, but rather industry professionals offering some decent insight blended with comedy?

I’ve appreciated the messaging in the UK where they’re reinforced the fact that the clinical trials have been as robust as any other vaccine released and so, as safe as any other vaccine we use.

I’m so glad we haven’t had to wait an eternity for more.

This sums up my current position.

Mobile consistently. I used to post mostly from a laptop, it now as I tend to browse and post either when travelling or a holding a baby - this is much easier.

Naturally the past year has made me consider the the possibility that I may be stuck on my bedroom and not really be able to leave it for a prolonged period of time, and what I’d do. Just to add some extra spice, let’s say no internet. Id be very tempted to use the time to try and finish something from a previous generation I’ve not managed. I’ve got both San Andreas and FFX in my cupboard and a PS2, so one of those would be very tempting - most likely leaning towards the former.

Most of the UK have voted to allow the political party that presided over more than 120,000 deaths to run most local offices. Yay.

We’ve been watching Them. I’m enjoying it, and I understand it’s pinpointing a certain time in history in a very particular way - but it sometimes feels like it’s trying to be unpleasant in a way that doesn’t progress anything, other than a feeling of being uncomfortable due to the language or imagery. I appreciate that it’s the point, I just don’t know of its a particularly well made point.

I mean, I shouldn’t laugh at the typo as it isn’t even funny, but, here we are...

How many days on average, each week do you play games? Alongside that, how long does each session last for? I probably manage 2-3 sessions a week, each lasting about an hour or so. I may have the odd day where through some miracle everyone is out, jobs around the house are done and I can get a 2+ hour session in, but that’s few and far between.

I had next to no interest in this. But in the last few days I suddenly need to have it. Only...20 odd days till pay day.

Some FF7 - up to Chapter 10 now. Nth wife is playing New Pokemon Snap and loving it. Also, at some point today I’ll finish another Eternal Darkness chapter.

Can anyone see a new Switch appearing next year? It feels vaguely at this point they’d almost be better following the apple route of iterative upgrades and allow consumers to trade in for a discount.

I need a PS4/PS5 comparison so I can feel OK with playing on the previous generation.

That’s very sad news indeed.

This thread had significantly more legs than I expected.

More Eternal Darkness. It’s nice to play the game when I'm not 12 and this terrified of it. I’m also thankful for the save feature which is forgiving and helps mitigate the fact that if you die, it’s back to the last point you saved. I’ve made it to Chapter 5 and it’s a case of so far, so good.

I seem to have two strands of retro game that I play. The nostalgia strand of games that I played or loved from about 5-10 years old and the games that I never owned, but internet critics and top 10 lists tell me are essential to play.

Anonymous poll and apologies to those unable to answer the poll.

My in laws are down and my wife is playing Spiritfarer on our Switch so I’ve dug out my GameCube for when I can’t play on the PS4. I popped in Eternal Darkness and have just found Karim’s chapter so we’ll see. I keep seeing Metroid Prime in my cupboard, unfinished and I know exactly where I am (come out of a save room and I can get the ice beam) so I know I should really pick that up and complete 18 years after starting.
