    I’m sorry but I want to take a slight tangent to show just how high my power level is when it comes to this shit.

    I was interested in tracking my game time on my games in years well before Steam was a thing. We had a family computer and a printer.

    Some are expecting an excel spreadsheet, which was absolutely possible, and I’ll come back to that, but no. I was maybe 8 years old and my solution was to print off an entire page of numbers, cut each of them out individually, then every time I played a game, I’d place the next number inside the CD case.

    Naïve me thought printing up to 20 would be enough, but once I went over that, I simply kept the 20 in the case and added another number inside.

    Years later - in my teens in the mid-00’s - I was obsessed with Pro Evolution Soccer. This is where the excel spreadsheet came in. I logged every single game, the result, the date I played the game, colour coded the results red/yellow/green to show loss/draw/win respectively, won trophies, and a bunch of other stats.

    I didn’t move on to Steam properly until the start of the 2010s. Since then my biggest game is 2016’s Motorsport Manager, which has logged in 1720 hours, followed by Civ V which has 1122 hours since I started playing in 2017.

    My current time sink is Football Manager. I have played over 500 hours in little over a year. Anyone who has played FM knows those are rookie numbers.




  • You may joke, but that’s actually part of the legend of the bridge!

    The legend goes that a woman saw her cow grazing on the opposite side of the river.

    To get it back, the devil offered to build a bridge in exchange for a living soul.

    The woman threw a piece of bread across the new bridge and her dog went to eat it. The devil got the dog’s soul 👍

    Poor dog


  • I’ve been to this bridge. It’s the Devil’s Bridge in Wales.

    Here’s another angle, ripped from Wikipedia:

    The river underneath is insanely deep. Pictures do not do it justice just how much further it goes out of the bottom of this frame. You do not get out of there. That is death.

    The bottom-most bridge was built around the 12th century. How the hell they managed to build stuff like this way back then staggers me.












  • England has its own problems, but for anyone who decides the North East of England sounds appealing, I’d be quite happy to do the traditional British thing of sitting in a pub and putting the world to rights whilst enjoying a nice beer with you 🍻

    We’re all either going to die in a blaze of fire within 4 years or we’re going to survive with some pretty hefty PTSD. Either way, we’re gonna need some friends to enjoy it with.
