loads of stuff, I managed to get a bit of a jam going where I play old games I never really gave too much time to recently

I beat Lord of the Rings: War in the North three times in a row, once with each character

I finally beat Shadowrun Returns and it was extremely disappointing compared to Hong Kong and especially to Dragonfall which is the best single player RPG ever.

I also got around to finishing Mass Effect Andromeda which was 2.5x longer than it needed to be.

Tried New Vegas again because of Hbomberguy's recent video and thought it was absolutely terrible and time has not been kind to it.

Now I'm playing Phantasy Star Online (offline obvs) on my Gamecube and folks lemme tell you I don't understand why I keep coming back to it, it's very shallow, but I'm really invested in seeing bits of the game I never saw when I played as a kid, so.

EDIT: oh I also finally got around to beating all the Warcraft 3 campaigns during this time too. Warcraft 3 is great and I love it. Also Hoppet have you tried Age of Wonders Planetfall? I think it did some really nice things with the same basic formula of 3 and I keep meaning to go back to it.

you joke but my top two games of 2020 were literally warcraft 3 and age of empires 2

this is one of my favourite pieces of trivia

I'm not sure if I had it or not but I did have what I thought at the time was a nasty cold around february last year and in retrospect it does seem like a reasonable assumption to make. It wiped me out for a week so if I did have it it wasn't pleasant but I must've had a mild version.

I often get a sore throat for a few days before any other cold symptoms show up, although I didn't get it last year when I might have had covid.

actually he never said gonk I am your father, the real line was "elementary, my dear watson"

breaking bad seasons 1 & 2 were good, should have ended at the end of s2.

I can get you some speech at the low price of 16¢ per letter.

openTTD is fun as heck but I wish it wasn't trivially easy to make infinity moneys with an airport in each corner

best of luck in the new millenium

excellent work!

he bounces off blue spheres in the sonic 1 special stage too, what could it mean???

does... does anyone say "I don't want to yuck your yum"???

can I just say how much I despise the current era of there being fifty billion different launchers for games. who remembers when you bought a game, you clicked the icon for the game, and it opened the game.

I figured, isn't mass effect andromeda EA and therefore only available on Origin?

hope you feel better soon hoppet! here's a rat to help your recovery

unless you wanted specifically marine biologist memes in which case here you go

here you go

at the moment I am rather fond of tesco's own brand milk chocolate, I've always liked cheap chocolate

also enjoying drumstick squashies which are a soft chew that's half raspberry half milk flavour. kinda weird but cool

in general my fave is probably rowntrees fruit gums

delayed nougat

yeah definitely! I think something like that would ultimately be way too physical for me... but then teaching is honestly too physical for me because you're supposed to stand up when you're talking to the class and I can't stand up all day :/
