I mean I own a switch, and I've never paid anything close to that for games... I've gone to maybe £45-50 for launch titles but what games cost £70?

Who the hell is paying 90EUR for switch games?

Would it be better if I did it in my pizza oven?

It doesn't look that weird to me, but I'm not sure that reflects worse on me...

There's something special about corner shop brands. They always have the best dolly mix.

Well, RIP my waistline then I suppose!

I ate mountains of Ye Olde Oak hotdogs as a student.

I'm now a vegetarian but some days I do think back fondly to them. My usual "guilty pleasure" snack now is a "bagel pizza" - cheap bagel, ketchup, slices of cheddar grilled to be just barely melted. I had it once at a friends' house whose mum was Canadian, and it lives rent free in my mind.

He also taught me D&D, painted me a Kroot Auxiliary tau army(!) and was/is a wonderfully odd chap.

It's Monday... what's your morning routine? in c/casualconversation@lemm.ee
[–] ALiteralCabbage@feddit.uk 7 points 4 months ago

On an ideal (working) morning if be up a couple of hours before I need to leave the house to bathe, make breakfast and something for lunch, clean the kitchen a little (which is my domain in the house), sit and watch TV or read for a bit, then leave with plenty of time to get to work.

Sometimes I manage this.

Otherwise it's snooze the alarm a few times, get out of bed, shower, make some toast quickly, lob some food at the cats and leave a little later than ideal, and get to work just in time.

Unfortunately my partner works from home and gets up later than me so my comfy bed has a chronic cuddler in it, and she's normally surrounded by our cats too so my bed is a wonderful nest that's difficult to crawl out from.

Trying to locate a "creak" sound coming somewhere around the motor of my mid-drive e-bike in c/bikewrench@lemmy.world
[–] ALiteralCabbage@feddit.uk 1 points 4 months ago

Yeah, this is always a good one! It's why I always recommend working cheap to expensive (usually quite an efficient way to spend working time too).

I used to alarm customers by flexing their frames to show them the creak couldn't have been their BB and was in fact a contact point (usually saddles or sweated-on stems).

Bikes are surprisingly bendy if you're not expecting them to be!

The worst "surprise creak" I ever had was in my first year as a jobbing tech - turned out to be a dry QR skewer! Thankfully I had an ex-pro race tech to help me out.
