Vanilla sponge with ice cream is lovely.

I really want to see Billy Coen return. It was never really revealed in RE0 if he was the guy who gave the go ahead to have the African villagers gunned down, when his unit could not go back to their base empty-handed. So a future game exploring this would be ideal, provided Capcom doesn't keep abandoning certain storylines that they introduced a long time ago. It doesn't even have to involve Rebecca. I just want to know if he is innocent, because he was last seen in the forest near the mansion. He left Rebecca and I assume she was gonna lie to the authorities. There has never been any conclusion to his arc. You know? Unfortunately, I think the series will remain disjointed. Chris, Jill, Leon and co are Capcom's main money makers. A lot of other characters I feel will never be used again, because Capcom probably doesn't want to gamble on any mediocre tie in media.

I try to walk in the shade. What also puts me off besides the clammy climate, is that I have really bad hay fever in June, but it usually improves by late July.

Chicken fried rice, with bits of egg.

Well, I logged in one day to try to get my alias changed. It's rather pointless, as this obsessed nutball I know just lists them on another forum as I do so anyway. But I noticed some radge pot moderator on there "banned me from user name changes for 2 years" unsuccessfully, as I can still attempt it. They just kept declining the change. I emailed them asking if they can just delete my account. The admin is a lazy sod who doesn't appreciate his members, and hardly any users post there, apart from bots. And like Shagger pointed out, the few human users on there like to post weird threads, with links to dodgy sites going ignored.

For foreign language films on DVD that have a dubbed option, this does not always apply to the version they put on Prime. For example, a lot of 'giallo' movies made in Italy are in Italian, but Arrow will only publish it in the default language. Obviously Italian, or Japanese, etc, for Asian movies. So unlike physical releases, they omit the option to change the audio to English, if it is on the DVD or Blu-ray. Then there's movies like Black Sabbath. I seen a dubbed version, but they only have the Italian audio version on home media.

All of these "Shake that ass" songs, or swearing and looking coked outta your mind. It is generally a lot of tuneless slop on the airwaves nowadays. 😌

I got my dad a Samsung Galaxy phone to use as a makeshift computer. All you need is a hub, the proper equipment, and a TV you can connect a Chromecast to in its HDMI socket. This basically means that if you put apps in landscape mode when mirroring the screen, then it can just be like using a laptop or a PC, and casting on a fast network is usually fine, with no lagging. 👨‍💻 While I was sure this make I bought had HDMI output, this only showed up briefly when it first came on. The built-in DeX feature is an option too, but it seems it won't work on non Samsung sets. They are like Apple, in that they try to have customers tied to their products exclusively so that things don't do as they are supposed to. 🤨 🤤

It is recommended you use the same plug that it comes with in the box, as the voltage or fuse could be higher or lower, so it may get too hot. 😩 On X, I hate it how they don't have a (free) edit button. You may want to just correct a small typo. But nah. Upgrading is the only way. 😅

I don't think the search facility on Prime is the best. They seem to have the movies, etc in order of the upload date, but not alphabetically presentable, which can be a chore to sift through. I was on it and was impressed by the value, because there is plenty to view. But the search mode is not great.

I think I was one of the first members to sign up. The activity just dropped over the last few years, and every reply I seen on there looked very 'made up' to me. Like an AI bot was responding, along with the flood of spam. It's why I won't be joining any more forums, because the main focus now is social media, or they recommend Discord (which I don't care for, but I appreciate the offer). The ones I have gone on recently have barely any users. Or they just aren't into the same games.

Anybody know of the Kiwi band, the Chills? Their lead singer died over the weekend.

I normally don't like to crap on other sites, but I noticed joyfreak.com is offline. All I can say is, good. Nobody will miss it. The forum was an absolute mess. The forum was literally 80% bots, 20% gibberish. Spam was everywhere. Shady links to third party sites left unremoved. And I lost count of how many times Shagger asked the admin to clean up his act, but nobody was even maintaining it. So it was just pointless being online anyway.

I like how some phones have HDMI output so your phone can be displayed on a bigger screen. However, most phones don't have the option to do it wired anymore. People usually cast their phone to a smart TV, which is wireless.

Yeah. I'm just gonna move on from him. I'll keep him as a good memory, though. But to be honest, I have lost interest in covering RE games. Life has been brutal over the past 10 years. After losing my mum last September, my heart just hasn't been in it with what I used to enjoy. When you lose that one important person, it is like a void is gone in your humanity. I had so much personal crap to deal with since 2012 or so, that it ain't even funny as to how annoying it has all been.

No, I never invited anybody to go after him, if that's what you're implying I was suggesting people start doing. And I'm not even mad at him in the slightest. If I was to ask people to go there to intentionally pester him, then I would be just as bad as that weird Australian tosspot who always annoys me, and who you know I've openly complained about online before. Sure, if you randomly went on YouTube as a viewer and did not know his personality traits, and randomly donated on his channel, just to be insulted on the air, you may feel offended by the guy having an outburst like that. But I know he's probably suffering from ADHD and living on welfare and donations, so it's not to be taking seriously, as a lot of users online are out there and kind of odd, so to speak. And like I said, this guy has hundreds of followers who find his antics amusing. Anyway, I have largely moved on from gaming talk. I don't really cover video games as much as I did, merely because while I do enjoy games as an art form, talking about Capcom being money grabbers on dead forums started to do my nut in - especially since I have been doing it on and off since the summer of 2003, with every year becoming increasingly more vapid. It kind of feels like I wasted my energy, although my key summary of Capcom I feel is accurate, yet vastly overlooked. There's not much activity on forums any more, but a lot of old timers are clearly not using forums, and Resident Evil as a franchise has been tarnished. The relatively few forums I still infrequently visit barely yield any new posts, or members start arguing over a petty disagreement. So I reckon I'll probably end up having to create an imaginary pal called, well. Let's see. I will call him "Ivan Ives" (or something just as lame). But I think he may prefer playing Dino Crisis, though.

You probably know the YouTuber I am talking about. If not, I will let the cat out of the bag. I started donating to him in 2020 when the lockdown started, because he covered Resident Evil 3. He was pretty laid back at the time. People know he's a clown on YouTube anyway. But I mean, what an ungrateful prick to put someone in time-out and then talk crap about how he has had the same users supporting him for 4 years. Like we don't matter now because I and others don't watch his every stream. Yep. He actually went there. Just listen to the way he rambles on and on in the exact same way. His last stream is set to "members only" for some reason. But the reason I don't watch his streams sometimes is because I may know nothing about the game he is raging about. So then if I donate through Super Chat, he'll just whine that it was not relevant.

He did it again today. I got called a "loser" shortly after I donated £10. He was acting rather odd, though. 😗 What the hell? I just gave him lip back. 😛 At one point, he timed me out.

Remember "Reet Petite" by Jackie Wilson had a claymation video?

Yesterday, I was walking about in the glen between Bilston and Roslin out in Midlothian. It is just outside Edinburgh, not far from Rosslyn Chapel. There is a viaduct that goes over the drop, but I hate heights. My eyes were nippy from the pollen, as the hay fever season has yet to end. http://www.forgottenrelics.org/bridges/bilston-glen-viaduct/

I want a girlfriend, but I don't think dating sites are all that trustworthy. I also feel like only other aspies would like me.

I seldomly find movies scary. I do really enjoy the atmosphere in them, but I personally never feel frightened by them. I watched Vampyr the other day, and it is very good. It is a 1930s German movie that has a French guy in it who used the stage name, Julian West.

I liked Moonwalker as a kid. It is like a concert film with music videos, then becomes a sci-fi adventure where Michael becomes a super fast car and a robot, who shoots these soldiers who followed him. The main bad guy 'Mr. Big' is played by Joe Pesci, and it ends with a cover of a song by the Beatles...

An Eye for an Eye with Chuck Norris. It has Christopher Lee in it as a villain, and Norris is helped by the Japanese actor, Mako. Oh, and Richard Roundtree from the Shaft movies plays a police captain. The plot is about a cop trying to avenge the deaths of his partner on the force, and his girlfriend, who was a reporter. She has a tape that can get her boss sent down for shipping out narcotics, but she tries to evade capture, only to be found by this huge guy. They then set it up to make it look like she hanged herself. There is a rather silly scene where Norris punches a thug, who goes crashing out of a window unrealistically. It just looks so daft. But hell, action movies often are. 🤣

My sister is due to give birth next month. Baby 4.
