Man, I wish.

I can't sing. I can't play any instrument. I have no sense of timing (I can't always even clap along in time). If I ever do end up being part of a band it's going to be as their manager since I'm now too old to be a roadie. But I wish I could, I dunno, play guitar enough to jam or be a part of an totally average local band.

Fallout. I played 1 and 2 back when they first came out. Great games, great writing, seditious humour ad a real feel of a world.

But then came 3, FNV, and 4. Each of those I played through as my default 'helpful stealth archer' character, then a second time as 'evil melee' character, and then again to make sure I had maxed out each faction and got each ending. And then again, because I loved it, and again to collect all the bobbleheads, magazines, etc.

I'm in my late-50s. I'm already slowing down my career in preparation for retirement, and now I work as a freelance consultant which means I have some control over my working hours. I can't wait for Fallout 5. I will be probably take at least two weeks off work to binge the shit out of it.

Less so with Elder Scrolls 6, but I'll be taking at least a week off to play it when it drops.

I hated kidneys for a long time because the first time I ate one (served with a mixed grill) I thought it was a mushroom. I love mushrooms and saved it to the end. Put the whole thing in my mouth and it was so much not mushroom that I couldn't face kidneys for years afterwards. I very much enjoy a steak and kidney pudding now though (has to be proper steamed suet pastry).

And I love whitebait!

I can relate. One of mine is a pizza in Naples. Also looked and tasted like a frozen pizza. I can only assume pizza da turista idiota is a thing.

Christ on a bike, chill! 30 is nothing.

Now I’m in my mid 50s and everything is starting to fall off, droop uncontrollably, or ache miserably. I’d happily go back to 30 again.

I don’t know about ’just’.

Many years ago I ran a couple of TTRPG mashups of Warhammer 40k and Dune. The emperor was much the same as 40k, the Sardaukar were marines, the Bene Gesserit were a plot manifested by Tzeentch, the Butlerian Jihad explained the lack of computers, etc., etc. It was - if I do say so myself - pretty awesome.

Now my kids are getting into role-playing and not interested in fantasy so I'm thinking about reviving my old mashup for them.

In the old days I used the 1st ed. Rogue Trader rules which seemed like the beginnings of an awesome TTRPG before Games Workshop committed fully to selling lead, then plastic, figures for skirmish wargames.

Is there a newer version of Warhammer 40k that is still TTRPG focussed, or should I dust off my old, loose-leaf copy of 1st ed. and work from that?

 

In Jamaica a steak pie will cost you £2.30. An Apple pie will cost £1.90. A chicken and mushroom pie will cost you £2.25. A cherry pie is £1.20 and a mince pie is £1.90.

In Trinidad &Tobago a steak pie will cost you £3.00. A rhubarb pie is £1.35 and a chicken pie (without mushrooms) is £1.20...

...these are the pie rates of the Caribbean

 

That's my kitchen being demolished.

Normal service will resume, if they can put it back together again!
