Hey.

I’m Dan. A 36 year old father of two who doesn’t have nearly as much time as he needs to do half the things he wishes he had the time to do.

Joking aside, the scene where Tywin schools Joff on how no true king needs to say that he’s a king is peak GoT. Absolutely incredible writing, acting and production from all involved.

I mean, is this in real time because I won’t lie, I bet there’s an awful lot of ‘boring’ mixed in with all the amazing moments.

I dunno, I could spend a good long while playing nothing but Football Manager if I didn’t have to worry about being anywhere else.

Maybe I could use that time to watch The West Wing? I’ve heard nothing but good things about it but…who’s got the time.

Is it considered a staycation if you get a caravan for a week? Or is that below the Guardian?

Don’t know about how it is in the US, but in the UK the idea of people rushing to finish their transaction fills me with dread. I’ve worked in a supermarket with self service and the general public really struggles with them.

Firstly, Chorley.

Secondly, I should rewatch Phoenix Nights. It’s been like twenty years, it’s time.

As for where I’m from? Walkers Crisps and Pork Pies.

It was the only of my three cars that hasn’t been totalled by a driver not paying attention when driving past it.

Yup. Two cars have been written off whilst parked down my street inside two years. Love it!

The last game that truly gave me the feeling you described is Lies of P. It was my favourite game of 2023 and the 60 or so hours I put into beating it were very well spent.

Nah I’m fairly sure it’s the fact that I live with two people who spend most of their time sticking their filthy little hands in and onto things that have previously been touched by other, equally as filthy little hands.

Kids are disgusting.

Based on these comments it’s absolutely Long-Covid. I mean, I’ve never had COVID before, and I’ve got two very young children who spread disease like you wouldn’t believe…but it’s definitely Long-Covid.

Definitely spending the day with my young children, going to a soft-play and then going out for a lunch filled with ‘no no no don’t throw that’ before we return home for a fun evening of 'daaaaaaady, daaaaaaaady’ entirely on my own in total silence apart from the sound of my TV with a videogame on, a fresh cup of tea in my mug and maybe a takeaway pizza on the way.

Prefer digital because space is a factor in my house. I love the idea of physical, and I’ll usually go that way for art or reference books. However paperback equivalent I’m always going digital.

Although if I really love a book I’ll always look to add it to my bookshelf at some point.

Might also explain why Cricket is so popular. Obviously it still requires a fair amount of physical exertion but it’s definitely a bit more laid back than something like Rugby.

I’ve only seen one or two WSL games on TV but I’m always happy to see more sport content on Lemmy so good luck.

What’s wrong with the Dotrice version? Granted I’ve only listened to part of AGoT with Dotrice but I thought he was fine.

Gotta respect it.

Can’t speak to Wickes but in my experience these sort of things are pretty handy way of figuring out how bad staff feel about your company…thus allowing you to then do fuck all to remedy the situation.

But hey, at least you asked.

Tearaway was designed from the ground up to be played on the Vita and I’d say it does a pretty fantastic job of using that hardware well. It’s also super cute.

You think Radio 2 is bad, try listening to Heart Dance for close to 45 hours a week.

More importantly it marks the 1 week anniversary of my birthday from yesterday and signals that there’s only another 51 weeks left until my next one.

Honestly, Mothers are always making it about themselves.

Well if all goes to plan I’ll be able to play Rocket League with my brothers, which since covid has become our Sunday night tradition. We both have young kids though and his baby isn’t sleeping too good right now…Fingers crossed.

Thank you.

They’re just trying their luck. A good chunk of people probably just renew without even checking the price, let alone shopping around. I’m not sure why they’re allowed to do that, but they absolutely do.

@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

How are you finding it?

Oneeightnine OP ,
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

I’ve been using a service called Hardcover after switching over from StoryGraph last year. I’ve been searching for a ‘letterboxd for books’ for years and I think this is the closest I’ve found so far.

Oneeightnine OP ,
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

I’m laaaaazy as sin when I’ve finally got the kids to bed so I usually hold it in my right hand and then operate the thing by pressing the buttons with the same hand. If I have to move my left for anything other than moving my drink to my mouth I consider this a loss.

Oneeightnine OP ,

I’ll be honest with you, up until this comment I thought it was fictional.

Oneeightnine OP ,
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

Are you wanting fiction or nonfiction??

Oneeightnine OP ,
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

Not entirely related but I’ve read some books on the Franklin expedition and found them fascinating so I’ll definitely take a look.

Oneeightnine OP ,
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

Sorry, but what’s a beta-read?

Oneeightnine OP ,
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

Yup Libra2. Just about does the job. Kinda tempted to go for a larger screen next time.

Oneeightnine OP ,
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

Animal Farm is one of my favourites. I’m really into Politics, and AF presents it in a fairly straightforward, yet utterly captivating way. It’s also pretty short so I can get through it in like two or three sessions.

I read 1984 like 15 years ago, during a time when…well frankly I was an idiot teenager who knew nothing of the world. I should go back to that at some point.

Oneeightnine OP ,
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

Credit where it’s due, I can’t handle more than one book at a time.

Very northern.

I’ve been opening the cupboard doors for an hour now and nothing has yet popped into existence.

Oneeightnine OP ,

Now that doesn’t sound too bad at all. Enjoy.

I’ve got a Kobo Libra2.

Pretty happy with the build quality and screen. Less happy with the walled garden approach that Kobo seem to be operating.

That’ll probably be something I take into account when I come to get my next model.
