At least we’ll get a delightfully stunted Jony Ive product film out of it.

Whereas on Reddit, it’d be used to justify a slippery slope. “We’ve already banned X and Y, so banning Z is just an extension of that.”

We’re deleting ‘doors’ as a feature. They just don’t make sense.

Friend created. Initials (“MJL”) became word! Makes smile.

It’s unsurprisingly one of those “can’t say much about it without ruining it” games, but suffice to say:

It was very good and you should play it, but it was always going to be difficult for it to top the first one because you go into it having a fairly good idea of what’s going on.

Also I just think this genre maybe works better with teenage characters than grown-ups, but that’s just me. 😁

Currently in that “trying to decide what to play next” headspace… but for a bonus point, I think the thing I completed last was Oxenfree II.

Anyone else wishing they could buy the entire Steam Visual Novel Fest? 🥺

I picked up Who’s Lila?, Coffee Talk, and Tyrion Cuthbert: Attorney of the Arcane (despite not really being able to afford to 😬) and wish-listed a bunch of other stuff.

There was (maybe still is) a cake shop in Southgate, North London. About a minute from my old flat.

The cakes in the window display rarely changed, if ever.

The guy running it looked like if you imagine the toughest prisoner at a prison, only wearing an apron.

About 50/50 whether the glass would be smashed whenever you walked past.

It was often “open” and had people coming in and out of it at 2-3am when I came back from nights out.

And there was a drive-by shooting right in that area while I lived there, that I always assumed was related. 😅

I used to go to stay at my dad’s on school holidays… I forgot my DS Lite there one time, and the battery was still nearly full next time. 😬

I miss simpler tech.

In the smouldering aftermath, some politicians, keen to shift the focus from social inequality, have muttered darkly about the role of BlackBerry Messenger, Twitter and Facebook – frightening new technologies that, like the pen and the human mouth, allow citizens to swap messages with one another. Some have even called for the likes of Twitter to be temporarily suspended in times of great national crisis. That’d be reassuring – like the scene at the start of a zombie movie where the news bulletin is suddenly replaced by a whistling tone and a stark caption reading PLEASE STAND BY. The last thing we need in an emergency is the ability to share information.

Although I’m only saying that to be contrarian, I do actually agree with you 😬

Squeeze to activate Google Assistant, from the Pixel 2 XL (and maybe others, I don’t remember)

Ohhhhh, OK I get it now.

I always used (and preferred) the official app and wondered why I was the only one haha.

But, I had Reddit Premium until recently, and now I guess AdGuard must be picking up the slack. 😅

Funnily enough @fer0n@lemm.ee does seem to work in the Liftoff app, but I guess there maybe isn’t a standard yet. 😃

Anything ice- or electric-themed.

Dropping your weapon or being frozen in place every few seconds is such a pain in the butt. 😬

Never forget that the classic video game Lemmings is itself a British creation.

This would be my pitch:
