it is a minor but neverending source of annoyance that both the VIM and every-FPS-since-DOOM default movement keys are one to the left of where they should be.

[Colin Spacetwinks @spacetwinks]

it's that time again

(game sale rec thread time)

as always, i tend to focus on older, obscure, and just plain weirder games, as big name titles don't need the help.

with that said, onwards!

@PonchoRebound I think we all know what's really eating you about it...

@PonchoRebound ... okay but think what else this implies.
Like I think you could genuinely sell a Predator Poacher vs. Predator Game Warden action flick.

@Robwilliams71 Looks brilliant, okay for a 10 year old?

Cracked open a can to the familiar "PSSHT" of compressed gas being released.

However, given that said can was baked beans, I have decided to have something else for lunch instead.

@PonchoRebound Gonna set me up a rival channel over on the riverbank, focusing on basketweaving in VR.

Get folks going from sub Lyme to reed Oculus.

Kid 1 was happily chatting with me about their maths lessons & various maths topics tonight.

So I gave them a copy of this to take in to class, and "see if anyone can solve it".

... I may in fact be somewhat evil.

@KirkdaleBooks @jeffnoon @angryrobotbooks In the space of a few months in the mid 90s, I read @jeffnoon's Vurt, @nealstephenson's Snow Crash, and @ememess' Only Forward. Oh and Feersum Endjinn somewhere in there too.

It was a hell of a good time to be an SFF reader.

@ChuckBaggett @neilhimself I prefer to shave pre-shower, for reasons.
Shaving post-shower / using conditioner are both to help soften the stubble, making the shaving process much smoother. Same with shave soap lather.
So I wet my face and slather on moisturiser 15 mins before shaving, then shower after.

[Bruce @thornae]

@ChuckBaggett Scientifically, after shower provided you kept your face in the shower for a good part of it. @neilhimself also once passed on the valuable tip that using hair conditioner on your stubble while in the shower will make shaving easier.

For some redemption, I did suggest they showed it to their maths teacher, in the hope that said teacher will recognize what it is (and possibly inflict it upon some smartarse teenager who's getting too big for their mathematical boots).
