Yeah I wouldn’t want them with people driving then, I’d definitely want some sort of automation to be in charge especially if there were similar amounts to road traffic.

Helicopters aren’t exactly convenient personal transport. We could definitely make smaller maybe autopiloted transports.

Regarding post scarcity, that was the point, we could do it now with enough motivation.

Flying cars.

Asteroid mining.

Maybe a Moon or Mars colony.

End poverty.

Universal basic income/ post scarcity society.

Least to most fictional I think.

So I’m in my 30s and from the UK so maybe not the most relevant person to get this sort of advice from.

It sounds like you’re not in love anymore and have very little in common. If you have no strong reasons to stay together (financial, children, housing etc) then you could have an amicable divorce and maybe gain some more freedom to explore and enjoy yourself.

It depends what your anxiety is driven by. Social anxiety is mostly the fear of being driven out of the group, which would evolutionarily lead to death. You’d be better with social interaction games or multiplayer ones to connect with more people in a safe environment.

Generalised anxiety where you’re hyper aware of every risk and on edge all the time expecting something bad to happen, horror games might work with desensitisation though often in horror the bad things do happen and you just happen to survive by running away or fighting back which is probably not the most helpful thing for anxiety.

Specific fears around ghosts - play FEAR and shoot ghosts. Specific fears around zombies play resident evil, probably the remake of 4, and shoot zombies. Existential dread about what makes you human and the existence of consciousness and souls, play SOMA (has a mode where the enemies don’t insta death you now so you can experience the story and the incredible locations), probably won’t make it less scary but is a great game.

Can I ask what you recommend? I just have the standard add block and sponsor block running which definitely helps but the user experience could definitely be better.

It’s basically just the south of France so kinda doable.

I really enjoyed my play through. It’s a genuinely beautiful game.

Depends if we can shop. We’ve got a couple weeks of canned food longer in rice and pasta and a gas hob so cooking isn’t a problem. Could work through the fridge and freezer in a week before it all went off. Got plenty of books, boardgames and camping gear so we’d be able to keep warm and entertained. I need to get some more solar options ideally some big panels for the roof. Our heating is gas but I suspect that it wouldn’t work without electricity. Luckily our living room has a gas fire.

I love this game, still got it downloaded on my phone. Really makes you think.

Vaping is safer than cigarettes, it’s still bad and we don’t know how bad it is long term but it is safer than smoking. It’s better to just stop completely using a stop smoking service to get alternative nicotine products if that’s available. If the person doesn’t want to stop then you’re unlikely to be able to make them however a vape might be able to replace it with something better. Other products to look at are patches, gum, lozenges and inhalators which can be useful in quitting.

In summary smoking and vaping are both bad but smoking is worse. Better off just quitting if possible, if not go for the vape.

Of course you can, I just really like the ritual with the brush and soap.

I love my safety razor. The ritual of shaving is soo much better with a brush and soap bowl rather than squirty cream from a can.

It’s a learned skill though and does take practice, I recommend the book Leisureguys guide to Gourmet shaving.

Get a multi pack of blades and work out which ones you like best.

Do you have a favourite song or band?

We do: my wife’s stuff and our t-shirts with pictures for delicates wash and literally everything else goes in on a standard wash cycle.

I really enjoyed Tunic. I loved collecting all the pages and learning about the world. I had to turn the difficulty down for the final boss as it just wasn’t fun but everything else was great. The ending was really good after I found all the collectables. Though I did look up where to find them after working out what I was looking for.

Tried the JAR as with most things it slaps but it does lack the handling and capacity to deal with the swarming zombies easily. The grenade launcher was surprisingly effective against everything up to the tripods.

The adjudicator seemed to work well for my buddy.

I’m wondering how well the arc thrower would work. The auto aim and stun would be really handy against the jetpack dudes. Gonna try that next.

Beat me to it. Why not was my answer to this question too.

I love our roomba, we got one that emptied itself so all I have to do is empty the bag once every month or so. Makes keeping the house tidy so much easier. It’s great for the dog too, we just set the roomba off when the house is empty and come back to clean carpets. I hate hoovering though so mileage may vary.

You could look at inflatable roll mats for camping, we’ve got a double one which is about 10cm thick and it’s nearly as comfy as our actual bed. It wasn’t cheap, I think around £200, but definitely a lot cheaper than our mattress.

I’d avoid air beds, I don’t find them comfy at all.

The other thing you could do is look for a mattress on 0% interest credit. We brought our Simba mattress on credit over a year or so for £20-30 per month.
