Stuck in the chuffing hospital!

Wish I was out and about driving my car.

Agree! I don't know how people do tea in this weather, and I love tea.

Smashing back the bottles of water like no tomorrow.

 

Alright refugees!

I reckon we need to have a threat to chat. About stuff. With reddit 'closing' for the next few days in some cases, and foreseeable in others, I felt like this thread was appropriate.

What are you all up to today? Anything interesting going on? I already know it's too hot.

I loved this design. Did debate buying one recently but there was no real point for me.

Would be cool to see someone shoehorn an 'M' chip into one of them

I loved the older Fable games so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the full reveal yesterday!

I'm already happy with what I've seen

FABLE, STAR WARS OUTLAWS, AVOWED??? All look great so far.

I'm hoping that doesn't happen! I learned in an A3, so my car is a bit smaller which I think helps.

I've bought a little VW Polo!

 

The Starfield/XGS stream is tomorrow (11th June) and I'm very excited!

I've been anticipating Starfield for a very long time and it's the game I'm most looking forward to. I'm really excited to see what gets shown tomorrow, I'm sure it'll only build the hype further for me.

In terms of the general XGS, I'm expecting more Forza Motorsport information, maybe a release date? I think we could also hear a little teaser about Fable. Overall, really interested to see where this show goes!

What are your predictions?

100% worth it! I wish I'd done it sooner now

I think any and all subreddits should go this way.

Reddit is only popular because of the users. We create the content. Yes, a lot of posts on the website are external links but all discussions are generated and concluded by us, the users.

Shutting subs down for 1-2 days and going back to normal is not going to have much of an impact. It's akin to a server blip. If subs shut down indefinitely then reddit has a real problem. 'Normal' users will start to take notice, whereas they currently might not be paying much attention. These subs should go the other route. Shut down and promote alternatives (such as lemmy!) to divert traffic away from reddit.

Pigboy Spez talked about not being profitable. No shit, you dick. This is how you become even less profitable, by pissing off the entire user base.

I've just recently passed my driving test and bought a car, so plenty of little trips around the Peak District & Yorkshire Dales I think this summer! Might try and venture up to the Lakes too.

Having a car feels so strange, considering I'm a little late to driving - so much freedom!

I'm a hand luggage only kinda guy. Easy on, easy off, no faff with the conveyor at the end.

I'm a pretty good flyer anyway, so I just make sure I'm wearing something comfy, my AirPods are charged and I've got something I want to listen to on my phone. Depending on the length of your flight, I think it's always worth having a bottle of water to bring on from the airport, or buying one on board. It can get dry in the sky!

I have debated buying an iPad recently, not for flying/travel but just general usage - however, I think an iPad would be a great addition on a longer flight. Pop a movie on!

Good. I think this is a dangerous time, though.

I can see him & other tearaway Tories setting up an even worse party and trying to bring over there diehards. Him and his cronies have tasted blood (read: stealing from and fucking the public) and in my opinion, that isn't something they are going to want to give up completely.

General election can't come soon enough.
