That's the thing isn't it? You think you've got to the end of the enormous catalogue of cruel, unusual and downright horrific things - and then you realise there's a weekly free supplement.

Yes, they have! We were both in the middle of the game when it uodated, so we had to reassign the skills. They are! Move fast and break things, CDPR style (move really slowly and break things).

Hail, fellow Witcherer! Ooh nice! I'm sure that will make a big difference. We've noticed the limitations of our older TV, (we play on PS5) We've had to do quite a lot of tweaking with display, camera view etc. The music isn't changing between regions either. Other than that how are you finding it?

Excitement here at Chez Lez! The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered has landed. 11 years since the game's release, a year from Songs of the Past expansion and 2 years ahead of The Witcher IV. So far, so buggy - but nothing too bad, mostly dog having physics issue when trapped behind tree kind of thing

Not sure why Bluesky autocropped this, the sign is in this one.
At the recycling centre - statues of the Holy Family and a sign saying 'children must be kept under supervision. 
To the right, in the undergrowth, is a skeleton and an old bike. So if the statues are having the day off the skeleton will go after your kids for being unruly in a dangerous environment.

They're a larky lot up the recycling centre. The Holy Family (and what's that thing in middle? Don't think it's the baby Jesus) are watching your unruly kids. *disclaimer* Watching, not protecting. Look closely to the right of the HF and you'll also see a skeleton hanging in the undergowth.

I dreamt that me and my good buddy Trish Byrne hatched a plan to rob veterinary drugs to give to those who can't afford them. Turns out they are shipped by stage coach, so we had to steal horses to do it. I ended up getting an arrow in the back and my horse fell so we ended up using all the drugs.

Thankfully she is much better! Oh man, the mushrooms - that was a bad scene 😵‍💫 Not as bad as when the poor baby had a reaction to f*nt*nyl post knee surgery and tripped out for 28 hours. Oof. Fur balls do sound awful though. "Omg my dog has TB! How?!"

Photo of little girl in a red dress holding her hand written sign in front of her face. It reads "go away bad man" and her had a drawing of a grumpy/angry - faced orange man in a blue suit and a red tie. It's surprising accurate.

You know when you get your head stuck in a jumper and you think you might die and then instantly illogically worry what would go on the death certificate? Watching Trump as President feels just like that.

Thank you! Scared the beejeebus out of me - I've been really lucky, she's 12 and has never been sick. Well aside from the time - as a pup - she ate a load of dodgy mushrooms on a late night walk. That was a pedal to the floor drive!

Metaphorical blues and twos to the vet first thing this morning. Poor Letty has a severe UTI. It's bloody scary how fast they come on. She was the *best* girl at the vets - with a new vet and all! Happily she came home full of pain relief and antibiotics and she is now flat out asleep on her sofa.

Pardon my mis-spelling of Burnham. There is actually a reason for this. I find him kind of irritating for reasons I can't explain. So I've decided that he's actually got a second career in a partnership of funeral directors: Burnum and Urnum. They are based in Urmston.

Burnum failing to catch the clue in the term "United Ireland" and then dropping the whole concept butter side down "...since the Brexit referendum, I think we’ve had too much division, too much arguing, too much, backward looking. We need to fix the things right in front of us in the here and now."
