I'm fine with the onion, it's the cheese that's the problem

Yes totally, it's like this in full book form and uses the mork Borg basic system

Thanks for sharing! Downloaded Have you played Death in Space at all?

A marginally more modern example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GQDbr_3di7s

Can't think of any from the 21st century though

No worries, hope it goes smoothly. The bit I found hardest to wrap my head around was the barrel adjuster part. Basically if your derailleur didn't take a hit, the limit screws should all be fine still. These are what set the range of motion of the rear mech, and prevent it from moving beyond the range of the cassette on either side.

That should be all fine so all you need to worry about is the cable tension being correct so that each shift is nice and smooth. You don't necessarily want the cable to be 'tight', there is a correct tension. I.e. it can be too tight or too loose, so methodical quarter turns on the barrel adjuster is what will get you there.

Here's a video which likely has a decent breakdown of the main things: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kVLmpBpC0vU

Yeah I think that is the general sentiment on 2. I didn't feel this way at all when I played it.

I think the themes in 2 are so powerful and explored in interestin such interesting ways. It tackles growing up and responsibility but also obviously politics, protest, immigration, racism.

True colours gets in to some of these more global themes too, albeit in a much narrower scope.

I guess 2 was a lot more ambitious and clearly didn't land for people as successfully

I thought the writing was excellent, especially compared to the first game. It also had a bisexual storyline for what it's worth but I generally thought it was such a great expansion of all their ideas.

Also loved the free teaser game captain awesome, and how it crossed over into the main game.

I feel like they really were stung by the overall reception of it, that we lost the storyline we'd have had if it had gone over well. I thought it was vastly superior personally. That said I've enjoyed all the games in the series. Before the storm feels janky at first but does have some decent writing in it also.

Nice little storyline. Always nice to have some from mum and dad's POV

He'd be box office on the grid though Hadjar, I think he'd be hilarious. If you think Tsunoda is bad on the radio oof!

Stoked for that and Blood and Rage early next year as well

Thanks for sharing this. I love the series so I will play this, tbqh I'm not sure these events mark Deck Nine out much from the industry as a whole sadly.

Off topic, what did y'all think of LiS2? I thought it was a real shame that it didn't do as well as they hoped.

 

The jail sentences handed out today seem completely insane to me, not least considering the overcrowding of jails that's been reported. Even if they had tons of space it seems like madness.

I can well understand people's reservations about JSO's general tactics but at the same time, what alternative is offered by their detractors?

Personally I don't feel as though Labour or the Democrats stateside are doing, or planning on doing, anything close to enough to tackle our impact on the climate.

What do you think?

 

I have some cotton velox rim tape but it's not very sticky and so I'm struggling to apply it to my rims.

Can I just use a few dots of superglue here and there to stick it down?

 

Please let me know in non spoiler mode, isn't this game made by Brits? I'm literally going through the foot tunnel to the north side and thinking "the den is thataway" (west)

NGL I assumed something had happened, and it kinda did, but this was an extremely welcome sight

I just found this out today by cycling it. You can now shoot straight through the section at Surrey Quays/Southwark Park making this route extremely quick and largely safe.

I don't like the crossover at Surrey Quays station OR that weird side road dip just before the McDonalds but all things considered this is a great route.

Apologies if this is off topic, I CBA to make London cycling
