When I was a kid, I was really into driving games, started off with Mario Kart and Stunt Race FX on the SNES, later moved onto F1 World Grand Prix on the N64, for which I had one of these bad boys.

You put your legs either side of the wheel to hold it in place. It wasn’t very good at all if I’m being honest. Even at the time, 9 year old me thought it wasn’t great.

So during covid, I saw that V3 pictured above being sold on facebook marketplace for 20chf (swissbux), and thought I could do better. Started off with a Logitech G29 and ended up with this:

Yes, cable management is not great, but I’m in a relatively small apartment, so gotta wedge it in a corner, but it’s my corner, the Corner of Speed

Sorry.

Could ever have a lump sum or coal for life, he picked the coal as the cash payout was around £5000, which would cover the coal cost for about 3 years at the time. He’s been having that for over 30 years at this point, pretty good deal!

Yes. Am Welsh. Coal fires are still pretty common in the South Wales valleys. My Grandfather still gets free coal deliveries every other month due to his time working in the pits.

That virus isn’t surviving getting cooked in an oven. Stop talking nonsense.

The only difference seems to be that steam doesn’t demand a monthly subscription cost, yet

Which Ubisoft isn’t doing either. This is just Ubisoft’s gamepass style subscription, which has been available for a few years now, it’s just getting a 2 tier pricing model.

They’re called legs, have a look down, and you might find some of your own.

We’re doing fine with that in Switzerland thanks.

Am British, also use Nadolig Llawen.

I wouldn’t say that controversial. Muse are pretty varied in their output, The Exogenesis Symphony is fantastic, and then they also have stuff like Plug In Baby, which is amazing. Matthew Bellamy is very talented.

That’s some peak crypto shilling “My Crypto is amazing for CRIME!”

Well how about doing anything remotely Godly? I mean seriously, the stuff ol Jesus H Christ tried teaching y’all seems to have been completely missed. You lot would call him “Woke”.

I’m glad you stick to the “I’m a Christian” lark, as if there is a hell, you’ll be more than likely heading there.

This Basel Fasnacht, a 3 day long carnival in Basel, Switzerland, that happens every year in February/early March. And when I say 3 days, I mean all 3 of those days, I don’t get much sleep during that time.

It seems to be a way for the usually quite reserved Swiss to get all their craziness out for the year, and air their current grievances with the world. The picture I posted was from a few years back, and that year they were not happy with Donny Trump and his stupid wall, so they made fun of it, in my street. Here’s a link for some more info.

Mexicans, breaking down that wall, in Switzerland.

But Stallone took the helmet off, so it’s bad.

Snow.

I proper love snow. The crunch of it when you step on it, how nice everything looks covered in it. Sledding is my jam, and snow is the butter!

I found a place in southern Germany that has blimps you can ride on, booked a ticket for summer of 2020, then the rona happened. That company shut down during the lockdowns. No blimp for me.
