  1. My cat is no longer with us as she passed last July at the age of 12 but I would often joke around and make up things she would probably be saying to us when she would look at us, it often made my kids laugh to be honest. Sad reality is, if she could speak, she more than likely would have said half the stuff I said she would say if she could talk. LOL
  2. It's very much understandable to feel that way and I can't say I blame you for feeling that way being what he put you through to be honest. I myself was in a mentally abusive relationship for a while, scared to leave when I had it drummed into my head no one would listen to me and no one would care. I am now finally free from that and have been for 8 years now but due to me having kids with the person, I have had contact with him regarding maintenance payments. He contacted me regarding them saying he was struggling bad, normally you would feel for someone due to that, I definitely didn't after all he had put me through.
  3. Neither options seem the greatest to be honest but I would much rather not poison myself if I am honest so I would definitely have to go for the raw octopus. It may put up a fight and it may not be the easiest thing to consume but it would be better than eating a poisonous mushroom for sure.
  4. With YouTube being so overly saturated now it does take a lot more than it used to for you to get discovered on YouTube. With their release of YouTube Shorts though, I myself and also many others that I know who stream and also upload to YouTube have found working both shorts and also longer videos works best to get discovered. So for example, post your usual longer videos like you would normally but try to incorporate in some shorts if you are able to. If you are consistent you will start to notice a difference. I hope that helps 🙂
  5. I am not sure how well it would go but I would be willing to try it just to see what it was like. All too often we end up hearing things and instantly think it will not work or it wouldn't be very appetizing at all. Sometimes you can be surprised if you just try it.
  6. I have in the past tried orange juice on cereal and I do not recommend at all so I would definitely go for ketchup in a sandwich. I love to have ham or even corned beef in a sandwich myself with some ketchup, works really well and is quite nice. Also a bacon sandwich with ketchup is amazing!
  7. This might actually be a good thing for Xbox and their PC games. As you stated, many people don't want to have to download the Xbox App to be able to play games through their service and if you are like me and are on Windows 10, the version of the Xbox App available doesn't work for me anymore and I would need to upgrade to Windows 11 to gain access to it again like I used to, something like this would be ideal for those who also can not gain access to the Xbox App.
  8. I will be honest, I didn't pick up on that when I read the post so my mind must have read it as use instead of sue. I get like that myself though I go back and check something I wrote even after submitting it and can't believe I missed something or I managed to type something different, it's very frustrating.
  9. I will admit, I have had my PC since 2018 now and I don't think I have ever used all the space or been told that my disk space is low either throughout all those years. It does take a while to go through 1TB of storage even with some games and other apps on your PC or laptop.
  10. That I am aware of I do not think there has been anyone I know who has received a medal from the government or military or at least not that I have been told. I would have to ask family members regarding that to see if they know anything, my grandma would be the one that would know if anyone did receive anything.
  11. For me it would either have to be sour gummy worms as I can eat those like crazy they are so good or it would have to be these fish shaped snacks that we get that are salt and vinegar flavour. They are so good I could eat a full pack to myself but I am sure my body would not like that so I always get them to share.
  12. Last game I played was Harvest Land on my phone for a little while earlier. I find it's been nice to sit and just spend a small amount of time on a mobile game a few times a day to clear my head a little and be able to focus better on things.
  13. If I remember rightly I do believe they did have a live stream on Twitch over an opening day at a location which I thought was a shame. Many want to be able to attend these events and get involved with them and losing that meant that E3 and many other gaming conventions lost their spark that they once had. Would be nice to see it back but I don't think we see it happening any time soon.
  14. It sure did. I remember one of the first Xbox 360's I got, it was fine for a little while and then I was hit with the RROD a few weeks later. Luckily I was able to take it back to the store where I purchased it and they did a straight swap for a new one and then would send the one with the RROD back to Microsoft but it was a pain to have to go through that. I remember i had a friend who I was playing Rainbow Six Vegas 2 with, his 360 had an RROD but the console and game kept playing. The screen was more like a heat sensor screen with all the colours. Let's just say it made it easy to complete terrorist hunt even though I don't think it would have helped his Xbox to keep it running on an RROD LOL
  15. I went through a really rough mentally abusive relationship for a while which I was scared to get out of at first due to what had been said to me. I found comfort in playing video games which too my mind away from what I was going through and as much as it didn't get me out of the situation it helped me get through the tough times. I am now happy to say I am out of the situation but I suffer a lot of mental health issues now because of that and even now, gaming is a get away for me when I have bad mental health days.
  16. I have 3 emails myself. One that is for my gaming so for my Xbox account and such, one that is for personal use so that anything personal goes to that for example emails from school, billing emails, receipts for bills paid and such and then I have my email that I use for work where everything goes in there for work. I feel if I were to have anymore than that I would confuse myself so I keep things as simple as I can.
  17. Keeping stress levels down is always a must. I always feel when my stress levels are increasing if I can shut off on a game with some music it instantly helps. Even when I am working from home, putting my ear buds in and listening to music whilst I am working helps so much just to drown out anything in the background and keep your focus, helps prevent stress a lot.

    Candy Crush

    I had forgotten about Angry Birds LOL. I remember playing that and man was it frustrating. I think they ended up just ending development on that game if I remember rightly. That was another game that was fun at first but soon died off after a while.
  19. I don't tend to look at magazines now as much as I used to as I don't tend to buy them like I used to so I am unsure whether we still have any kinds of gaming magazines like we used to. My kids will usually mention to me if they see them though as they tend to look at the magazines a lot but they haven't mentioned anything. It's a shame as they used to have some really good gaming magazines back in the day but with everything being online now, many companies just do not see the point in printing them if they may not sell.
  20. It is such a shame that they had to cancel as much as they did due to COVID and I really feel like it did hit them pretty hard with so many top companies pulling out now that would normally end up being a huge part of it. Do I feel it can make a comeback? Possibly but at the moment, it is looking like it is dying which is a shame. I always looked forward to E3 every year and now it's just not there anymore or it is very minimal.
  21. I agree, definitely not an EA game and from the reviews I have heard it seems like it is an absolutely amazing game and I am gutted I am unable to play it at the moment. I do feel though even though it is early days that this is very much going to be Game of The Year and I will be very shocked if it doesn't get that. This game is loved by many even those who are not huge Harry Potter fans. My eldest son isn't a Harry Potter fan himself and he even wants to play it.
  22. Yeah, it's a bit of a shame that you need 1000 followers to be able to go live. I think that is a little overkill as it prevents so many people who want to use the platform from being able to do so. They really should look into monitoring lives better and allowing it from when people register or from a smaller amount of followers. A lot of whom go live on TikTok do follow for follow to get the live feature and then just sit there and stare at the chat whilst live, complete waste if you ask me. Would never dream of doing follow for follow as it never helps.
  23. I think to be honest, the reason most are excited for the new WWE game is due to the fact it is for John Cena and his 20 year anniversary which would make sense as he has been a huge star throughout his career. I think that is why my kids are more interested in it at the moment to be honest.
  24. I had considered getting a smart watch myself as my mum has one and she loves it and is able to do so much with it but I haven't had the funds to be able to do so. Would love to be able to jump on one though in the future if I am able to.
  25. Yeah that is the only issue when it comes to buying the console now, you would need to be sure it was all in working order and how you needed it to be otherwise you would face spending money and being without.
