With the release of Oblivion Remastered came memories of this review of the original game.

Thankfully we no longer have to drop the pies.

Think I should've drank a bit more. Headachey after all that walking. But overall enjoyed it. Hoping to get out a lot more this summer.

Did a lot of walking yesterday. Today up early but the plan is to be lazy other than that. Hope yous are having a good weekend in some way.

Massive respect for all the people standing up for everyone the now. Strikers, protesters, the lot.

This forager has some good advice. Is in England so the season starts a bit earlier than ours. But the advice itself is still sound. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNMxd-5LpPw

I thought it was really well done. Didn't actually play the games but aware of the premise.

A red one! They are gorgeous. Doubt if there's any near me here sadly. I've heard that pine martens are actually good for red squirrel populations because red squirrels are much harder for them to catch than their invasive cousins.

Mainly eating treats and trying to get out walking a bit more. Rain is off putting but forecast is hopeful.

UK Supreme Court rules 'woman' means biological female in c/[email protected]
[–] Fluffgar 9 points 1 week ago

Their ruling does the opposite of clearing up the matter. It just invites further questions. Which means further legal cases. That's on top of this ruling being plain cruel.

If lack of peen makes you a woman then there are plenty of conditions that can cause this. By accident or by birth.

It's an infuriating ruling on many levels.

What is the definition of "biological female" in this instance? Chromosomes? Being born with a uterus? Because I have some bad news for them if they think human (or any) biology is that neat and tidy.

Coatbridge firefighters launch Easter egg appeal to spread joy across Lanarkshire (www.firescotland.gov.uk)
 

Rain had good timing. Less having to jump on wildfires, more time for community fun.

Aye. Usually there's at least been rain overnight. But it's been so dry for so long (for Scotland) now.

... That is somewhat alarming. Pressumably when those controls were installed it was in an area that was supposed to be safe from being irradiated.

Interesting site though... from a good distance.

Atomfall's Mystery Audio Bug (self.games)
 

Atomfall has an audio bug that mutes all game sound. The only way to get sound back is to close and reopen the game.

I'm wondering if it's the Dynamic Range audio setting glitching somehow. High had the bug often occurring. Low not so at all so far. Though it may be coincidence.

Anyone else found something that helps?

Drive For Change: Foodbank Van Appeal 2025 (www.justgiving.com)
 

Edinburgh Food Project needs a new van.

"Sadly, the foodbank’s big old van is no longer up to the job – it spends more time at the garage than out and about, and it isn’t even LEZ compliant, so there is an urgent need to replace it."

Protest then and now – 30 years since Pollok Free State (bellacaledonia.org.uk)
 

"The Pollok Free State convened around Colin Macleod’s one-man protest in a beech tree. Colin’s message resonated with folk from the surrounding estates in Pollok, Nitshill and Cardonald who objected to their access to the park being cut off for the benefit of affluent car owners in Giffnock and Newton Mearns having quicker access to Glasgow city centre."

'Completely unethical': Women excluded from life-saving vaccine (www.thenational.scot)
 

It's always been baffling to me that this is the case. Even if there was a small charge a lot of folk would choose get the vaccine. Rather than risk the disease it prevents.
