Re: Uber driving?

Yeah, sorry to hear that but it's what I suspected. I think this guy is paying nearly three grand but he's used to it, kind of thing. In a similar ballpark, he also did food delivery stuff for a while when he first quit the old job. Seems more suitable for a couple of evenings here and there and gua...

Re: Shmups

Cheers! I think I will for now. The guys who I got the case from also do acrylic top plates and printed artwork but I do like it as it is. I've had a search for a few designs though and I have a couple of ideas of some traditional Chinese ink wash paintings. Would match the current colour scheme. I ...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

I've definitely got Isaac on my mind whenever I play a rogue lite now. Its like your first MMO Nothing can touch it and no matter how hard I try I struggle to get into another one. Same here, Dez. It's still my most played Switch game by miles (300h) and that's after forcing myself to uninstall it ...

Re: Uber driving?

I know a guy (wife's mate's fella) who's moved over to Uber after a good ten years working for a firm. You get better at learning when and where to work to get the best return on your time, he said, but you also have a lot of freedom to fit around your own commitments, family, etc. We live in a pret...

Re: Whatcha Been Playing?

Neon Abyss for me, really enjoying it. My favourite rogueish since Dead Cells, but maybe better than that. It's very very derivative and familiar but well balanced and refined, and I much much prefer the run and gun gameplay to Gungeon's awkward kinda top-down thing.

Re: Super Mario Maker 2 - **1st Page For Community Level Codes**

Really enjoyed that. First stage is brutal, the music block section can be total chaos, but once I got past that, it was really good fun. Great boss fights!

Re: Shmups

https://i.ibb.co/bdVK8z9/20200715-133511.jpg I persisted with the LS-62-01 a little longer and also fit two Kowal short throw mods just to see what it would feel like. It's so short and stubby, it's got the immediacy of a D-pad but it's not really feasible with my grip. You need to basically use fi...

Re: What's Out This Week?

Me too. I put hours and hours into AC Odyssey doing basically nothing, just enjoying existing there. I'm very much in the mood for that after TLOU2.

Re: Shmups

It's all true apart from the skip and the crystals. I'll get it sorted but I've been too hasty, some uncharacteristic lack of research due to, honestly, just laziness/tiredness. And please don't apologise, it's entirely my own fault! Zero research on the 62 lever connections. Zero research on the UF...

Re: Shmups

Great work with the Progear clear! What a great game, well played. At my end, I got the UFB but I broke my Hori RAP EX PCB trying to decouple from the little sister PCBs responsible for power and whatever. I trimmed the ribbons in haste and completely broke it. No going back, no going forward. Bin. ...

Defo in for Ghost just for graphics and gawping. I don't expect anything revolutionary but pretty will do me just fine at the moment.

Re: *SPOILER FILLED* The Last of Us Part II Conversational

FWIW, the first five hours are a bit slow, but it gets exponentially more interesting both narratively and...ludically. Is that a word?
