That looks like someone has opened their bin and taken a picture.

I think I got away with it. Classic deflection technique.

Wid (Jane).
Cannot confirm. Didn't get a good enough look at her.

Conversation this morning:
(sitting in the car, the Mrs nods towards a woman coming out of her car about 20 feet away)
Mrs: There's Jane.
Me: Who's that then?
Mrs: Jane. That Jane that you know.
Me: (squinting and wracking my brain) I don't know who that is.
Mrs: Yes you do! Jane! The cousin!
Me: I honestly don't think I've ever seen that woman before in my life.
Mrs: (annoyed now) See the way you speak to me sometimes!
Me: ????
Mrs: Just forget it.
Me: OK.
Mrs: You know her, she's related to someone you know. From Facebook.
Me: (starting to sort of piece it together) Do you mean the woman YOU know who we discovered was a cousin of someone I used to work with?
Mrs: (angry) So you DO know who she is!
Me: I started to figure it out once I had a bit more information, aye, but it's not me who knows her. It's you. I've never met her.
Mrs: (still angry) So how come you didn't recognise her if you know her from Facebook?
Me: Because I don't know her and I've never met her before in my life. You're talking about someone we had a 10 second conversation about several weeks ago because she popped up on Facebook as being a mutual friend of someone on my Facebook. Someone I haven't worked with or heard from in about 10 years.
Mrs: (raging) You do know her though, you knew fine well who I was talking about!
Me: Aye I can recognise someone I've never met from 20 feet away based on a Facebook picture I glanced at for a few seconds several weeks ago, because she is a cousin of someone I worked in the same general vicinity of and barely spoke to 10 years ago.
Mrs: (beelin) Aye whatever. You knew what I meant.
Me: (biting my tongue for the sake of peace)
We then proceed to sit in silence for the entire journey to work, her seething and me baffled AND seething.

I have put off starting to play this until they add Ibrox and Celtic Park (I know, I know) and it's starting to piss me off how long they're taking to add them into the game. They sold limited edition copies of the game with Rangers and Celtic branding when it was released in AUGUST yet they still don't have proper faces for the players or the stadiums in the game almost 4 months later? Piss poor from Konami.
I don't play online much and spend most of my time in Master League or BAL. I'll no doubt start both careers in Scotland so it would be nice to have the stadiums Konami promised us months ago.
I've heard there will be another data pack released early next year, hopefully they will be included in that.

This is one to buy in a month or two once it's been properly patched and you can get it for about a tenner.

Did you find a note? I've found 2 of these grisly scenes, both had notes to find!
No I couldn't see a note, I'll need to go back and have a good look around.
If I can find it again, which I probably wont be able to.

Realised last night that you don't have to hold the R2 button in when you have a fish hooked. I was holding L2 and R2 while trying to reel it in! Makes it a lot easier when you realise you only have to press R2 to hook the fish then you can let the button go. (Picard facepalm)
Found a severed torso hanging in a valley with a message written on a wall, "Look upon my works" or something like that. There were body parts all over the ground too. Nothing for me to track or anything, I suppose I have to find all of the hidden murder sites and then it will trigger an event.

Couple of tunes for you there ladNah. Cheers anyway though.
As for turning into our Dads, it's worse than just slagging off modern music. I've turned into a weird hybrid of my mum AND dad in a lot of ways. I hear their words coming out of my mouth when I'm talking to my kids. The exact same things they used to say to me.
Parenting is basically programming kids.

Ed Sheeran getting on your nerves almost goes without saying.
Drake though. I literally cannot believe or understand the popularity of that guy. That "God's Plan" song in particular causes all sorts of seething rage within me.

I'll be gutted when the game is finished so I'm taking my sweet time with it. Currently just started Chapter 3 but planning on going fishing and hunting for a while without doing a single mission. Other than the random stuff that pops up or maybe a bit of homestead robbing here and there.
What a game.If you're going fishing I'd recommend heading to the top of Flat Iron Lake and speaking with Jeremy Gill. He'll give you 13 locations of legendary fish. Took me over 5 minutes to reel in the one at the swamp so they make you work for it!
Cheers bud! I had heard about the guy who gives you those locations but had no idea where he was. I didn't want to just Google it but finding out from a fellow player on a forum feels less like cheating somehow.

There is a course of action which is regularly advised on here in such circumstances but unfortunately it has slipped my mind at the moment.
Application of footwear to the baked dish of pastry covered meat did cross my mind at the time.

You should have threw her tea in her face. Lessons need to be learned.
Essentially her thought process was this:
"I am going to make a premeditated decision which I know will result in a negative response so that I can subsequently complain about the response, even though I was the one who deliberately manufactured it."
The fact she unashamedly admitted this was her thought process was serious goading IMO.

Mrs asks me if I want a cup of tea, I politely decline.
Mrs comes through with her cup of tea and nice packet of biscuits, proceeds to eat a biscuit and exclaims how delicious they are.
I casually mention it would have been handy to know we had a nice packet of biscuits at the time I was offered tea as it might have swayed my decision, but no matter.
Mrs, making it clear she is annoyed, says "I KNEW this would happen! I knew I'd bring these biscuits through and you would moan coz I hadn't told you we had them!"
If you KNEW it would happen why didn't you tell me about the fucking biscuits in the first place?

Koreans regularly stand and knock the door repeatedly upon finding a toilet door is locked. This is a very strange country.
And while having a keech is indeed sacred man's time, Korean men tend to choose to do this on train journeys and take up to 45 minutes to do so. This means that the toilets are often simply inaccessible as someone is in there for almost an hour (presumably) having a jobby. Incredibly selfish behaviour. They often pull the same behaviour in pubs with one or two toilets. Someone settles in for ages leaving everyone else with no toilet.
Standard behaviour in unquestionably the most selfish culture on the planet.
Korea needs a war. A long and bloody war.
It's behaviour of this sort that all but guarantees the complete annihilation of the human race at some point.
If we can't figure out how to respect each other's privacy and comfort while we're performing the simple act of crimping off a length then how can we be trusted with nuclear weapons?
It's the bog door handle rattlers of this world that will end us all. Mark my words.

Folk rattling the door handle when I'm on the throne trying to have a nice relaxing jobby at work. Why? Just why?
Admittedly the door doesn't have a vacant/occupied sign on the lock but it's pretty obvious that when the line on the lock is vertical it's open and when it's horizontal it's locked. One quick look tells you whether someone is in there or not so there's no need to rattle the handle like a demented chimp trying to solve a rubix cube.
One guy the other day tried the door and, upon finding it was locked, chapped and said "hello?" What the f*ck is that all about? How am I meant to even respond to that?
This is happening 2 or 3 times every single time I'm dropping the kids off at the pool and I cannot understand this sort of behaviour.
A man's time on the throne pinching off a bum cigar is sacred and should be treated as such.

Could be useful to some players seeing as the game basically tells you hee haw!

The game does have direction, purpose and progression. I've experienced it. That won't be enough to hold all players, but there is a clear progression.
That's reassuring to know! I obviously just haven't found it yet.
I realise I'm still at the very early stages of this game but the sheer scale of it threatens to overwhelm me at times. Knowing that I can't possibly see everything the game has to offer is both exciting and annoying at the same time.
The size of the tasks ahead, such as discovering words in a language so I can understand what the aliens are saying, seem as though I could play every day for the rest of my life and still not scratch the surface.
Hopefully after another session of play the bigger picture will start to come into focus a wee bit.

Despite my negative comments I am still looking forward to having another go on it tonight.
I think my gaming OCD does me no favours with games like this, I usually like to explore every nook and cranny coz I don't want to miss anything but that is simply not possible in NMS. Having a quick look around a planet then leaving to find another goes against every gaming instinct I have yet roaming around every planet I visit to see all it has to offer would be ridiculous.
This is why I think the game, for me, may be too big. I've put hundreds of hours into hundreds of games but they all had direction, purpose and a feeling of progression. I don't think NMS offers any of those things at the moment.
Still, I'll be back onto it tonight hoping to find something that will keep me coming back for more.

Played this pretty much all day yesterday and a bit underwhelmed to be honest. I can see this getting really dull, really quickly. Could it be TOO big?
Saying that, I've only explored and catalogued the planet I started out on then went into space and landed on a nearby planet following a distress signal. My worries began when I realised the second planet was almost identical to the first right down to the plant and animals. They were a different colours but that was about it really.
Naming things got boring VERY quickly and I just cant be bothered now. Who is ever going to see them anyway? Same goes for finding all of the wildlife and plants, I've done it once and definitely will not be doing it again.
The resource management feels like busy work for the sake of it but I understand why it's there. It's not too much of an issue once you suss it out but it's a bit tiresome.
The pop up in the graphics and almost constant rendering of textures is annoying but not a game breaker for me. I imagine it could be for a lot of people though.
I could go on and on but, long story short, I can see me playing this for a few more days then it'll be gathering dust on the shelf because my gut feeling is it's all about doing the same thing over and over and over again with very little pay off.
Hope I'm wrong about that mind you!

Celtic have won the title for the last 5 season, why would you be seething this season in particular if any other team including your own didn't give them a guard of honour?
Probably not seeing as I'm not actually seething about anything and my post was clearly a total wind up.
Sorry to disappoint you.

I hope your team and every other team form a guard of honour and applaud the Champions onto the field of play when we grace your stadiums with our presence this season.
I for one will be absolutely seething if you don't.

Petty Things That Get On Your Nerves...

This complete lack of awareness of what is around you or where you are standing has me seething on an almost daily basis. Here are some other examples I'm sure everyone has experienced:
Folk stopping in doorways to check their phone/handbag etc. C*nts.
Folk stopping at the top or bottom of stairs to check phone/handbag etc. C*nts.
Folk standing in the middle of a busy pavement rather than stand off to the side. C*nts.
Folk standing at the bar in a busy pub and refusing to make way for other folk trying to get served. C*nts.
Folk walking 3 or 4 abreast (insert gif here) effectively blocking the entire pavement. C*nts.
Folk standing right at the bus/train door when folk are trying to get off. C*nts.
GET OUT OF THE FUCKING WAY YOU SLEVERING, DEAD EYED, BOVINE C*NTS!
