I've had every PS console since the OG PS1 and I love PlayStation, but this feels like such a nonsense turn off.

I get the reasons for the PS4 not being able to run Veilguard, but I haven't been able to afford the (still steep) price tag even years after release

[Avery (they/them) 🌌 @redrocketpanda]

Not me getting super hyped to play Veilguard now we've moved into our new house & bought a new TV. Only to realise its not available on PS4 😩

Tried to comfort myself w/ plans to play Origins/DA2 in the meantime, but ofc you can't play those either 🙃

I'm specifically looking for ✨️co creators✨️ (singular or multiple) rather than guests at this time as that will come later down the line

I can also provide further info to anyone who might be interested 😊

[Avery (they/them) 🌌 @redrocketpanda]

Putting feelers out to see if there are any marginalised friends here who would be interested in being the co-creator & co-host of a new games podcast?

Ideally with podcast XP, esp on the creation and production side of things

@UnheimlichManvr 👏👏👏 make sure you give yourself a nice reward and look after yourself

Also had another one tell me a property I was enquiring about was already gone bc it got 4 offers and the LL accepted someone who could pay 6 months upfront like... okay well some of us aren't rich and don't have parents who can float us. I still deserve somewhere to live?

Absolute insanity when I spoke to an estate agent and was told that an annual income of just under £36k p/a "isn't enough" and a budget of £1300 p/m for a 1 BEDROOM place is "too low"

3 years ago I got a 1 b/r flat for £1175, and 5 years ago a 1 b/r HOUSE for £1100????

[Avery (they/them) 🌌 @redrocketpanda]

Trying not to be too panicky about the situation bc that's not going to help but also absolutely RAGING that rent has been driven up so high that it's not affordable for most people. Even with 2 incomes.

@HMRCcustomers Could you advise when would be the best time to talk so I can resolve this over the phone please?

[Avery (they/them) 🌌 @redrocketpanda]

I find it incredibly hard to concentrate on reading nowadays so when I find a book that grabs me enough to actually finish it I need to tell people about it

I read this after seeing Alien: Romulus at the cinema & it perfectly scratched the "more space horror pls" desire

[Avery (they/them) 🌌 @redrocketpanda]

@HMRCcustomers I left a job at the end of May and started a new one in June, but am also a research council funded PhD student at a university. The leaving date has been applied to my university, rather than my old job

[Avery (they/them) 🌌 @redrocketpanda]

@HMRCcustomers No - it's not a general query. Somebody has made a mistake on my tax account and has removed the wrong employment so I need to get that rectified asap as the wrong tax is being taken from me

[Avery (they/them) 🌌 @redrocketpanda]

@DrSamiSchalk Oooo welcome! We currently (unsurprisingly) have crappy weather at the moment

Ohhhhh this is so exciting! I adore Gris, and have been looking forward to NEVA's release

[Nomada Studio - NEVA & GRIS @nomadastudiobcn]
