What are you reading/listening to this week? (February 8th, 2023)
  • @Bookworm @chat Reading Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell, which I grabbed from the library totally judging the book by its cover (art)

  • What's your favorite berry?
  • @cheese_greater @asklemmy I’m a sucker for blueberries - they’re currently in season. Either on their own or in something.

  • What are some games you played years ago, which you've recently enjoyed playing again?
  • @otter @asklemmy Currently playing Batman Arkham Asylum which last had a save ~2009. Not a superhero fan really but the team who made this were on fire. It’s so well crafted, the design decisions and direction, very enjoyable.

  • Which video game did you bounce off of at first, but then tried again later for it to become one of your favorites of all time?
  • @rip_art_bell@lemmy.world @asklemmy@lemmy.ml DAYS GONE. I gave it a go a couple of times, found the setup to be a bit corny and quit. But when I pushed further, the quality and the effort the devs and the actors put into it came through. Sure the story is safe and gameplay (excl hordes) is conventional, but enjoyable all the same.

    Cheating a bit in that it wouldn't be one of my faves but I am gobsmacked Gamespot gave it 5/10 and IGN 6/5. Strong 8 at min. Sad there wont be a sequel to continue the story.

  • Do you prefer digital or physical books?
  • @JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee @asklemmy@lemmy.ml Physical Books. Love the tactile experience and visual representation of % complete. No issues with digital sometimes more practical when lending from the library. Not keen on buying ebooks.

  • ‘The Bear’ Renewed For Season 3 At FX/Hulu
  • @ZeroCool@feddit.ch I'd be quite content if it did the UK thing and stopped after 2 seasons. Could be a case of diminishing returns.

  • Not arachnophobic, but looked down and saw this lady racing up my shirt, a few inches from my neck. My scream was internal.
  • @AFKBRBChocolate@lemmy.world @pics@lemmy.world That close my scream wouldn’t have been internal. Pretty chill dealing with arachnids and insects (apart from white tails which get the boot) but that’s in my gedditoffme zone so props.

  • Rosier Burgers has closed. Local joint I only heard about recently moving to the area but saw it being recommended in various places. Tough business at the moment.

    What is your favorite video game from the 90s?
  • @Platform27@lemmy.ml @mayflower@lemmy.ml Those are some excellent choices. I'd pick quake for multiplayer - and SS2 for single. Honorable mention to Dune 2.

  • Fu Manchu-Mongoose
  • @useless_modern_god@aussie.zone @alternativenation@lemmy.world This might be the most classic Fu Manchu track there is [Maximum amounts of cowbell] Have only thrashed the version off Eatin Dust, would be interested to see if this is any different.

  • It’s apparently coming up to 2000ADs birthday so I figure I’d share panels from a few of my fave artists that come to mind from the black and white era. Steve Yeowell : Zenith, John Hinkleton : Nemesi
