Here's a question for those gamers who use #steam #valve.

When they introduced the whole sellable card thing, and you first agreed, was an average of 3p, or (currency conversion) 3c what you had in mind?

If not, how do you feel about it now that the saleable value has long settled in that region?

Do feel free to share, I don't know if there are more appropriate hashtags out there!

So George Santos is basically a US version of Paul Nuttall, right? 🤔

Good news for them - the govt knows what to do to avoid it!

Bloody hell. Just woke up a minute ago, having dreamt that I'd been shot in the head, at close range, with a shotgun. I don't think it's possible to dream that you're actually dead, but I was lying there thinking I've only got a few seconds left to live before I die of the injury 😬

Bit unnerved tbh.

New series of Happy Valley started! Didn't know there was one planned but I just saw it on iPlayer, so that was a nice surprise 🙂

Right, so instead of these sectors being disrupted due to strike action, they'll just be permanently short of workers because nobody wants to work in them. Dumbasses.

It's 2am. I can't sleep because I can't stop thinking about how much of like a really cold glass of orange juice right now. I don't have any orange juice in the house. Stupid brain 🙁

It doesn't strike me as very 'alpha' to be referring to another man as "Top G" 🤔

Now for 6 months of always writing the wrong year.

I really should've gone to bed hours ago...

#Tate fanbois seem to think "what color is your Bugatti?" is some kind of pwn, then seem surprisingly unprepared for "same color as yours, why?" as a response

Reason I say it's a little different is it feels like I came across it less 'organically', being introduced via a TV show. Granted, the Morcheeba and Simon & Garfunkel one were marketing exercises also, but in a different way - they were used to create a particular atmosphere/ambience, whereas the Jidenna/Luke Cage thing felt more like a product placement. Out of all those stories, that's the one where I only really ended up liking the one track rather than getting into the artist generally.

Last one, which is more recent and a little different. I was watching Luke Cage and there was a nightclub scene with (as I remember) an act doing a warmup, or audition or something. Loved the song and, thankfully this was recent so it was easy to look up online, turned out to be Jidenna - Long Live the Chief

In his defence, my dad was mostly a dick, but he did have good taste in music for the most part. It was through him that I got into Dire Straits and Pink Floyd. And I know he appreciated my taste in music 'cos the bugger stole a load of my CDs 😋

The 'least cool' band I got into story has to be the Simon & Garfunkel one, though. I was a teenager at the time, on holiday in Newquay, UK, and I was sitting in some restaurant. They stayed playing a bunch of what I later found out were Simon & Garfunkel songs. I asked my dad if he knew who it was, he told me, but damn, I was getting condescension vibes there.

Anyway, bought their greatest hits album shortly after.
