Please watch this essential AEW match. PAC was one of the most beautiful, fluid wrestlers I've ever seen.

It's been a while gang, but I do have to say I'm kinda surprised to see people being critical of the Steam Frame or saying it's too little too late. I thought it was awesome - it's just expensive. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
bbc.co.uk
Valve's Steam Frame is excellent - but at over £1,000 is VR still too expensive?

My partner sent me this updating me on how my rabbit Lola (not pictured) is getting on, along with a video of Brakes as he recovers from his surgery. Idk if I’ve just had pets for too long but my instinct was Brakes was updating me on Lola and calling me “squishy”, I assume his new pet name for me
A text message chain. Two messages read “squishy” and “Lola is having a drink”. Underneath them is a video of a black and white rabbit.

If I’m ever in those areas filming I’m absolutely going to take you up on those suggestions. Though the chippy near me has sussed gluten free batter, and their potato fritters are the #1 reason why on-camera I look like a news potato 😂

The best part about this is the topline I went with is truly something stuck in my past because I hadn’t yet realised I was glutenintolerant lol If any of the big pizza chains want to develop the tech to make an actually nice gluten free pizza I can guarantee I’ll be there with a film crew

Not being able to turn on the TV for screen time reasons has led to the need for alternative arrangements
A man reads a book to a baby. The book is a collection of scripts from the television programme Frasier. The baby is mostly obstructed by the book so you are unable to make out any features other than the top of her head.

I’ve got a lot of time for this! It’s quite interesting how consoles and games are priced compared to previous times. I remember paying £50 for WWF No Mercy on the N64 way back when… that would surely be close to a hundred nowadays. Ofc that ignores differences in wage growth. It’s wild
