Logged in to my @octopus.energy account tonight to a very unpleasant surprise. This is the latest salvo in a billing dispute that’s been going on since October. I’m complaining on social media because after this I’ll have no recourse except to complain to Ofgem.

Had to check activations too because I’m so old and decrepit now that my actual first purchases don’t show up there
Screenshot of my purchases on steam showing I bought RoboBlitz first, then Garry’s Mod, Psychonauts, Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines and most recently The Deus Ex CollectionScreenshot of my license activations showing that the actual first thing I bought via Steam was Half-Life 2 Gold followed by Rag Doll Kung Fu (first 3rd party game available on Steam, inexplicably), Darwinia, Red Orchestra, Sin Episode 1, HL2: Episode 1, Defcon and then it catches up with my purchases at RoboBlitz

The good news is that they won’t deny care! I do not know how this happened but I do know it made it easier to get an early covid jab because my BMI was..abnormal.

The only reason Shopify wants this is to see what I’m buying from other companies. Bad taste. I just wanted order updates.

Fixed up my old penknife today. Cleaned it, oiled it, sharpened it and replaced some missing springs and bits. It’s over 25 years old now.
Penknife, oil and tools laid out ready for work. Fully oiled and complete penknife

They’ve licensed Lego’s dick detector
Screenshot of a Eurogamer article about Lego Fortnite. The paragraph is about how they’ve added Lego bricks to Fortnite’s creative mode. A highlighted sentence reads that doing this has ‘prompted further changes in the game’s own suite of player safety tools’.
