@TheUtterChrisp Absolutely. Just very aware that it's hardly news.

@mentor I found it amazing that I was consuming the game like it was a gripping novel, wanting to know what came next. And that I want to go back and try different things, make different decisions, remember to follow up on that side quest, now sadly lost forever.

And then yesterday, I arrived in Skellige. I can't believe how right the geography feels, or the fact that it offers a gameplay progression that feels so natural. "Ah, so you've wandered around a bit and think you know it all? How about navigating this sheer cliff, or that deep chasm?"

So yeah, it's quite good.

You know that feeling when something's well known as a really great example of its type and it's been around for years, but you've only just got around to it and you want to tell everyone how impressive it is, except there's no way to avoid sounding like "There's this really cool band, and they're called The Beatles"?

Really feeling that right now. #gaming #Witcher3

@mysteriosox Welcome. It will seem confusing at first, but you'll pick it up fast.

@KuJoe Very true. Tusky feels much more intuitive to me as an Android app.

"Spirit of 92" placards in the crowd. The most likely manifestation of that isn't the way the final went, but the group stage tie when Pakistan were bowled out cheaply but got away with a No Result due to rain.

@adambienkov Also, as Hunt was a Remainer, and said Brexit would be bad for the country, what has he seen since 2016 to change his mind?

@adambienkov Let's focus on the data presented. Does he accept that it *has* made us poorer to date?

I like to cast my votes for people who acknowledge reality.

Don't see many wicket maidens in T20 cricket. Well bowled Adil.

@skanman There may be policy reasons why they'd rather not run any risk of having to tell people their delivery is going to be later than stated (as well as the importance of having someone in to receive it, which may become an issue without a clearly stated window).

But my inner geek really loves this idea.

@bykimbo This is more or less what I assumed. But at this point, I'm more or less a delivery time connoisseur. Noting that some will have 4-hour windows early in the day, while others narrow it down to an hour even at the end of the round.

@trinsec I've been doing Waffle for some time as well. I dabbled with Quordle and similar for a while, but found them a little formulaic in the way you basically solve one then shift to another.

I looked up Phrazle, and there are tons of them! Which is the True Phrazle?

I know there are plenty still doing #Wordle daily, because I see the results in my feed!

If that's you, you might like #Thirdle thirdle.org as sonething similar but different.

You get 3 words arranged in a crossword grid, with the joining letters given. Yellow is in the wrong place but the right word, while pink is in the wrong word.

I find it a slightly more strategic challenge.

So we have a delivery due today - between 9.32 and 12.32.

Every time I get one of these notifications, I mutter about spurious precision, but I suspect there's probably something else going on here.

If it was me, I'd calculate the earliest a delivery was possible, then tack on a fairly arbitrary margin of tolerance based on past experience.

Anyone know if this is even vaguely near the mark?
