I'm a random, but lack of gear or flaps points towards catastrophic hydraulic failure.

As for the lack of thrust-reversers, even if it were possible to still operate the one on the remaining engine there are some obvious reasons why you wouldn't in the circumstances.

Awful business.

I thought it was great, and yet felt pretty underwhelmed after finishing it. Didn't feel like I rushed through it at all, but only managed just over 20 hours.

The open levels were the highlight but the rest felt like very standard FPS fare. The non-shooty gameplay was novel for a while, but taking out Nazis with toilet brushes or whatever else came to hand got repetitive eventually.

Seems like I'm having the same issues with it. We're both on CF, right?

There are huge tailbacks on the M25 after it was partially closed due
to a serious collision between a pedestrian and a car around midday on
Thursday.

Both sections of the major motorway was closed between J29 for
Hornchurch and J28 for Brentwood as emergency services responded to
the scene.

Despite The Standard no longer being printed, I can't believe this literal* car crash of language gets published online by a supposed journalist.

*in the contemporary sense

One of them isn't real. That model of container bin wasn't introduced until 1972.

You need a switch.

Sounds odd. Am using 21:9 @ 3440 x 1440 here.

I started it last night with the intention of just checking out the fancy rendering.

Four hours later had to force myself to turn it off and get some sleep. Having tried to avoid previews and reviews, the gameplay is not what I was expecting. Feels more like an old adventure game than the FPS I was expecting, given the semi-open world and relative lack of combat. Very impressed all round so far.

Maybe there needs to be a tape in there? Not going to chance it until I find one.

A pre-recorded tape won't allow you to accidentally record. It will be missing the tabs which press the plunger that tester mentions.

Did anyone check the odds of Ferrari taking the constructors before the start of this race?

Despite Norris's race position it's looking precarious for McLaren. Piastri doesn't look likely to recover any significant points.

Very much into Stalker 2 now. Plenty of largely forgivable jankiness, but they're pretty good on getting patches out. Find a few things pretty annoying tho...

The lighting balance is weird. Even in broad daylight, interiors of the smallest buildings with the door wide open are so dark you have to constantly turn the torch on and off. Light sources also seem to fall off far too quickly, only illuminating a small radius around them. Increasing gamma doesn't really help.

There's no prone mechanic, which is a really weird omission considering the game can otherwise be played somewhat stealthily.

Worst of all, having to chose between authentic Ukrainian and awful English voice acting. I can't for the life of me understand why they didn't just get the Ukrainian actors to also record their lines in English rather than use native English speakers with all sorts of random accents. Having to rely on subtitles for cut scenes is perfectly acceptable, but needing to read stuff at the bottom of the screen is shit during gameplay. Lots of background dialog is also just lost.

7.5/10 so far.

And what stamps work nowadays? I have a vague memory that they changed but picture ones are still usable or something.

If they don't have the barcode they're not valid, as far as I'm aware.

Edit: Sorry, if by pictures you mean other than the HRH mugshot then apparently they are ok.

Never used them, but they appear to only sell 'vouchers' which it's up to you to redeem against the product from some other company.

Pretty weird way of buying stuff.

Netflix's Senna could've done with a more generous location budget. The shot introducing 'Norfolk' raised eyebrows, and they're kinda stuck there.

Other than that, decent first episode.

gives us all a bad name

There's no excuse for using this phrase.

Spare a thought for people with bright blue sinks who have to clean white toothpaste off them.

If push notifications means the app rather than browser, that has a similar option.

Mary Anne Hobbs.

Or an AI which has been trained on her voice to describe absolutely everything as 'incredibly special'.

I now have terrible images of Rees-Mogg leading a morris dance around the commons.

Brewery?

I went from FLSun Q5 to P1S. Clearly remember the whole setup experience being a world apart. Feels like a proper product rather than half-assembled kit.

Not wanting to send all my models to China I'm using LAN-only mode. Disables some features of the app but I haven't missed them.

Worth considering a bigger diameter nozzle if you plan on larger prints that don't require as much detail. They're pretty quick to swap and the speed difference is considerable.

Lovely stuff. If memory serves you had some thing already, what's it replacing?

You can also use external USB drives to store games. They won't be payable but it's obviously more convenient than re-downloading.
