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

UK. It’s been absolute fucking shite this summer. Rain, rain and more fucking rain.
Last year was scorching hot to the point of being unbearable. Not this year. It’s fucking pissing it down right now in fact.
EU commission, really. That’s the only way
That would be incredible
Spoken like someone who clearly doesn’t work in finance.
The numpad is essential for my work. You’re not seeing it from the perspective of myself who uses it as a calculator with automatic text entry while producing documents and estimations. That is my job, and it requires the numpad/calculator layout.
He’s a cunt just like Johnson was a cunt and I’d have the same opinion if I were fucking blind. Skin colour means shit.
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.
Worked fine for me in the UK, not sure if Google play counts us as in the EU these days or not
Weird, mine has been absolutely rock solid. And I don’t touch the oculus software, just SteamVR. I’ve played hundreds of hours of Bonelab and Half Life 2 VR etc
The only issue I’ve ever had is having to replug in the usb cable at the start if my pc is started up with it plugged in… but as it’s almost always stored in a box unless I use it, that’s rarely ever a problem.
Maybe it’s the connector on the cable end that plugs into the headset that’s dodgy in your case
Yes, that’s exactly what I meant. Getting ONLY the green melons on each stage has always been the goal to get 100%. I remember vividly filling up the records screen and even sending a results photo in the post to N64 Magazine back in 1998.
I’ll try and dig up the issue that confirms the goal is to get the green melons. It’s hard mode yes, but it’s not exactly a hidden goal. Yoshi’s Story is very intentionally vague on providing any instructions or written goals to the player, but the instruction manual and guides do.
Edit: here we go. Instruction manual scan, page 18. Specifically tells you to collect all melons for the best score. It was always there and the game guides of the day made it very, very clear. https://www.gamesdatabase.org/Media/SYSTEM/Nintendo_N64/Manual/formated/Yoshi-s_Story_-1998-_Nintendo.pdf
Edit edit: this is a sore point for me as there are a lot of traumatic memories being bought back now of getting to 29 melons then accidentally eating a banana and having to start over! Was a fucking pain in the arse and I remember spending hours and hours on it.

Don’t bother.
I tried this route, you’ll be disappointed. I would advise getting a pre-owned Rift S which are cheap as fuck now.
Works perfectly with steam VR, and has proper tracking controllers. You can’t play Half Life Alyx with the PlayStation set - you can with a rift s. You’re basically cutting out the vast majority of PC VR experiences if you go with the PSVR.
Also you don’t need a Facebook account for the rift s, unlike the quest headsets.
Here’s a fun one
Open up retroarch and apply the following as settings for a game:
Mirror mode! On any game! As long as you don’t care about text, it’s a fun way to add replay value. Great for platformers like Donkey Kong Country 2, Mario, etc.
If you really want a mindfuck, play a top down game like Zelda Link to the Past with the above but ALSO top down inverted too. I do that with the ALTTP randomizer sometimes.
Edit: hang on, I got Yoshi’s Story at launch and I 100% remember the ultimate aim of the game is to actually get all the melons. It’s not an alternative mode really, it’s the actual goal for 100%. At least, it’s how I played it in 1998.
Yeah, hasn’t stopped me in…15 years? Half my entire library is pirated and emulator shortcuts lol
