Nice work! I’ve got one week left of the beginner course. They don’t give me any coaching notes or anything which either means I don’t particularly need it, or i need to ask for it. I’ll be looking for a bow shortly, I think! I’m using ...

@Grim… I won the game on ‘The Limit’, so it’s definitely possible ;) Whaaaaat! Well done!! Ok, baby! I completed the hardest difficulty last night using one tile army. I had hacks to make word with a C 6 letters longer, when in Rome to make C D and M their Roman numeral ...

The detail on that hat is amazing. @Mimi, it was you saying, 'I've removed the larger formats from my phone to save space,' that made me think that they were taken on it, but no matter, they're still great photos. Ah, yes, that makes sense! So, funny story. I have a camera, ...

Weirdly, while I was away one of the fields in my BeeX profile said "I buy and sell Crypto" so I think maybe I was minorly hacked. Although it was sort of true in that I bought a bit a few years ago, it plummeted, then a couple ...

... coming during this "Summer" so there's not going to be much BBQ action happening. But, anyway, last year I traded in my man card for one of those Ninja Woodfire electric barbecues. I'd been looking to get into barbecuing but it seemed like such a faff. I read up about charcoal vs ...

I didn't really know who he was but a colleague at work really rated him (went to a live show of his). Anyway, one of his tips was to stand on one leg while brushing your teeth. Improving your balance so that you don't fall over as much when you get old. I've started doing it ...

Dr Michael Mosley. Who is apparently famous. Or was Moreso now :ninja: I recognised his face from the One Show or something like that. Yes, he was frequently on the One Show, but also made some TV programmes and regular podcasts of his own on nutrition, diet, exercise, sleep ...

... have time to enjoy. The brita jug did a good job for us but eventually I got a bit fed up of it (it was always empty when I went to use it, as someone had drank all the nice filtered stuff and not refilled it, and the cartridges seemed to need replacing quite frequently), especially as the household ...

There's a lot of retro handhelds with new ones coming out each month, but they nearly all seem compromised in some way. There must be a market for a higher quality device where you don't need to immediately start modding the controller or OS ...

I love baking but I've never done bread. Am always tempted so might give sourdough a go one day. Mimz, your foot photography is so good. Those cookies look great. My current go to cookie recipes are Murder Cookies (a bit of a Reddit favourite ...

... the previous fridge I bought in 2018 as it's now decided that it'll only work... Sometimes. Excitingly the new fridges dial goes up to 7! The old one only went up to 5. You probably could have replaced the thermostat for about £20 Funny you should say that as I did try to change it and would you ...

I've bought a new fridge to replace the previous fridge I bought in 2018 as it's now decided that it'll only work... Sometimes.

... the ability to cut precision slices of bread with the Vileda? It’s got nice lines, but not sure how I feel about the lack of serration. That first one is a proper man’s dustpan. Not sure I could handle something like that. You'd be fine it's actually fairly easy to handle, even for a lady, although ...

The brush came with it

Snagged one of these from Screwfix for a fiver not so long back: https://media.screwfix.com/is/image/ae235/590FK_P?$fxSharpen$=&wid=414&hei=414&dpr=on A real workhorse, no cupboard queen. More for the garage/jobs. ...

But why are the edges of the new one serrated?

The green goes really well with the wood of the brush.

I bought some EXCITING new things. 2 new buckets, as the other ones had holes in A new wash sponge for the car A brush thing that fits on the end of the pressure washer (the cheap one, not the one that oscillates) A new cobweb brush I honestly felt like ...

Moreso now

... yourself, or did some people come and do it for you? I hope your kept the wheel hub that's holding the door open. They built it and took the old one away. I kept the disk. It’s a reminder of when a wheel came off on a motorway. The tarmac ground the disk flat on ine side.

... they are combined I seem to get an awful lot of the half squares being under the starting tile. I am assuming this is the case as I can only SEE one green halving symbol and then my green multiplier is split in half after playing the first word. I think it would be good to not have multipliers ...

Replaced the old large battered shed, with a smaller better one.

I had too much rubbish in the old one. Was an excuse for a clear out.

I don’t think the ‘make a random tile blank’ cheat is working with the One Tile Army tile set. I used it and there was no animation to show which time converted, and checking my tile bag afterwards shows only the blank tile I started with, no others. I think ...

I completed it, then I put a mod on it to make the guns "realistic" (it should not take eight pulse rifle bursts to kill one alien) for the second playthrough and that was a much better game. I think it was this one, but I'm not 100% sure: https://www.nexusmods.com/aliensdarkdescent/mods/18 ...

I did not. I got it again, and this time the speech bubble said hello but nothing else. When I played it it seemed like a normal tile

Thanks folks, I'll look into all of these.

@mr Russell, did you not notice anything with an A tile before seeing this one?

Like... really noticable?

I'm staying away from the trailers now but I'm definitely excited as it seems like they've gone a bit low budget on this one, which is definitely the way forward. Go for something more gritty and raw rather than the poncefests of Prometheus and Covenant. I finally bailed ...

Not a bug at all (it’s all working again now) but if you’re still looking for ideas for hacks and things to unlock them, it might be nice to add one for if you play a word that reaches from one side of the board to the other, like this:

I saw the first three seconds and gibbed it off.

Cannot stand the PM. Effete, tiresomely smug, and not nearly as with it as he thinks he is.

Ten minutes in and if I hear the word 'plan' one more time I think I'll throw something at the telly.

I think we need two lists: one is a list of things that are acceptable to throw, and the second is who it is acceptable to throw things at.

Possibly a third to supercede the second and it is of criteria of things that mean people are on the list

... So that she can use our Switch in her bedroom, it does the job That’s still quite spendy, though. I wonder if anywhere does one just in the form of a lead? I just the usb-c extension I have for my MacBook (usb c.to usb a,c,hdmi)

If it popped the unlock on the screen when you'd completed the game (the little one, not the big one that shows when you go back to the title screen) then it should have worked no matter what came after that. It did, and I could ...

Argh. Gibson have made the nicest looking guitar of all time. It's an ES-335 (the same shape as Mali's one above) but in a purple burst finish. It's also much much much more than I'd ever consider spending on a guitar. https://www.guitarhouse.co.uk/shop/gibson-es-335-figured-purple-burst-limited-run

Nope, keep them coming. I've fixed the apostrophe one, at least

... I sold it rather than reordering it as a better hack came up. I'm also not 100% what was happening just that the score seemed to be giving a high one, then the hack activated and the multiplier looked smaller. But it's very fast so it's entirely possible I got it wrong. I definitely had Grow before ...

"Dot and Bubble" was superb and very clever. One heck of an ending. Quite the gut punch to realise that I too hadn't picked up on signs until the end. Not the parody of always-online teens in Barbieland I thought it was. The final scene ...

Well, it's been a while. The problem with Fury Road was that it all blended into one thing. If you compare it to, say, Aliens then this becomes an issue. If you turn over the TV and Aliens is on, you immediately know where you're at. The meal scene, the prep scene, ...

... and just a bit shit. Mind you, the two actual death machines are squimishly funny…well, not the torture but the reaction of the actors. Overall: one bag of shit. Saw X was weird. The pacing was off. Like nothing happens for ages and then lots happens and then it absolutely fumbles the ending ...

I watched that Godzilla: Minus One. That’s exactly the rating I’d give it an’ all, aye? Bag of shit. Actually, it was pretty “alright” insofar as these movies go. I actually didn’t mind the human element at all and was mildly invested. Well, ...

Godzilla Minus One has just arrived on Netflix for anyone who’s not seen it or wants a rewatch. I quite liked that. I love monster films with lots of destruction and it definitely scratched that itch but I struggled with how much ...
