This is brilliant.

I’m going to store it in my long-term memory as “true”.

Without facial hair, he just looks like a thumb.

If you like Point and Click adventures (are they still called that?), have you ever tried Yorkshire Gubbins? Very silly humour.

Yes, but some people need an extra special, personal reminder.

“Obviously everyone knows not to shit on the pavement in the middle of the city centre… but just to make sure… Ms Grace Hull, we are specifically asking you not to shit on the pavement in the middle of the city centre”

I also bought it and completed it over the weekend - about 3 hours I reckon. Certainly laugh-out-loud funny in a few places. Nicely surreal and funny, and very well animated.

It suggests it’s better with a controller, but I played it just with the keyboard, and it was totally fine.

Not sure how well the humour will travel (it’s set in a fictional Yorkshire town, I have mostly lived and worked in Yorkshire) - though I’d imagine it travels fine, because Yorkshire humour is obviously best :)

I thought the pull-string light switch inside the bathroom was the standard in the UK?

I’ve only seen switches outside bathrooms in the last 5 years, in recent “having the bathroom re-done” cases.

It might be an age of house or regional thing though.

“A Conservative spokesperson said: “Rishi Sunak as prime minister made it clear that we must stand up to extremism in all its forms.”

Whose slogan were they chanting, as they set fire to local shops and threw bricks and street furniture through hotel windows? I think it was “STOP THE BOATS! STOP THE BOATS!”.

I wonder what horrible far-right hatemonger put that into their heads?

I hope Rishi is going to help us find the vile extremists who invented and promoted this “stop the boats” slogan.

Perhaps whoever they are could be shipped off to Rwanda, which, as a landlocked country, doesn’t have much use for boats.

798 Cadbury’s Creme Eggs

£3,463.96 worth of produce

£4.34 for a Creme Egg? Or he stole 798 Creme Eggs as well as several thousand other non-headline-worthy products?

The Tooth Fairy is trying to save up for retirement.

Here they still exist - they just make you pay if you want a new one. I (and seemingly most people) use them all the time still, but I guess more people reuse them more times now. I’m quite happy to pay 30p for one when the old ones get used up. I think they’re a bit sturdier than they used to be too - so less likely for the handles to snap when you’ve still got a mile to walk home.

I guess it mostly cut down on unwanted ones getting littered etc. Now they’re valuable, all the more reason to hoard them in a cupboard in the kitchen.

Where you are it sounds like they stopped existing - what do you put your food shopping in? Do you still have a thousand left that you previously hoarded?

I think technically it’s both, but it’s mainly focused on the former - the shop and supermarket ones. You now pay 20 or 30p for them - previously when they were free, they would sometimes force a bag on you, even if you didn’t want one (I guess to walk around advertising their shop).

Is very happily read art-related articles on here. Given how small the community is, I would have thought you could easily fit articles, reviews, manifestos etc. We’re not so overwhelmed with content.

If it starts to become too clogged up, then you split it off into its own community.

Unless there’s something very unique about the camera, the USB is only going to transfer still images off the memory card (and possibly supply a low-res webcam function) - you won’t be able to transfer video through it.

There should be a mini-firewire/mini-DV/iLink port hidden under a flap - that will connect to a firewire port on a desktop, or an older laptop.

If you don’t have access to a firewire port, your existing S-Video/AV cable is still your best option.

Unless anything magical has happened recently, a firewire to USB will not help you for video capture.

Throwing pretend milkshakes at a pretend Nigel Farridge is disrespectful.

We should be burning effigies of him on bonfires.

“Hmm…”, said the sword, quizzically. “The scriptures on those are a little vague in the translation the Blacksmith had”.

The sword paused for a moment to think, its metal shifting subtly in a manner which could vaguely be described as coy.

“Maybe…”, stuttered the sword, “you could show me what that means”.

“Hahaha!”, said the sword. “I will twist your mind until you’re wearing mixed fabrics, having pre-marital sex, and using the Lord’s name in vain!”, it cackled.

“I’ll even make you skip church on the sabbath!”.

I’m pretty sure that’s the best possible answer.

I’d be interested to see what other foods could reasonably be used as bookmarks.

Must be:
a) Flat enough to be a bookmark b) Leave as little residue as possible

To be fair, as far as foodstuffs-for-bookmarks go, I think a plastic cheese slice must be one of the best.

Ronnie who? Never heard of you.

… “étoile de mer”, which would roughly translate as “star of the sea” or “sea star” - the same as the Spanish “estrella de mar”, Portuguese “estrela do mar” or Romanian “stea de mare”.
