Yeah, knee was no fun - very swollen and kind of ouchy just below from what I remember. Couldn't stop twitching either so felt like a dick for sitting so badly.
Just got booked in with Steve Byrne while he's over at Cult Classic in September - kind of jumped on it before figuring out what I wanted so still thinking but he's definitely someone I've wanted something by for a bit.
And because pictures are fun, got this by Andrea Furci a little while back...

So, the owner of the place we're trying to buy is back to looking as her sellers couldn't find anywhere. She's also 5 months pregnant. Perhaps being a bit pessimistic but starting to feel like this'll drag on another couple of months and she'll just land up doing the same and taking it off the market. This whole 'I'll sell you my flat when it suits me' situation is mega frustrating and expensive given we're the ones stuck paying rent.

I only have the one zebra on my commute, south of Vauxhall Bridge. Generally take a similar view that once people are past me I'll proceed but I approach it pretty slow from the downhill - see loads of people just bomb it across regardless of whether there's people there which seems like a dick move.
Great ride in this morning despite everyone's best efforts to embroil me in carnage - suicidal school girls at the crossing 'it was a green man!', it definitely wasn't; coach / white van man collision outside Victoria; and those still a bit dosey from the cycle commute hibernation cutting across here there and everywhere.

chains are a ball ache, ay. Had offer accepted in February, FTBs with all our mortgage and deposit stuff sorted for a month now but waiting on the people above our seller to get their shit together, not even really convinced they know where they're buying yet. Wouldn't mind so much, but we've got to be out of our place the end of next month...
How much of a dick is it reasonable to be about asking people to move out rather than us find alternative accommodation? Or recouping the cost of it dragging on against the sale price?

The micro-transactions are pretty much all cosmetic, though I'll admit it gets to a point where the extra stash tabs become near mandatory. Still, for the £30 or so I've spent in game I'm very happy and there's no actual content or pay to win in terms of skill/character availability and progression.
Looks a bit intense with all the sockets on everything, is it quite a steep learning curve?
Initially, yeah - it can be pretty daunting, though they're adding new tutorial stuff for new players in the coming release which is probably a month or more away. The skill tree is sort of intimidating at first... there are plenty of build guides and suggestions on the forums though.

The Kotaku review took a similar line, hating the first play through for it not being what people typically expect from a game then really enjoying it the second time when they slowed down to just enjoy the experience.
Still haven't jumped in myself, got too much on, but quite looking forward to it - maybe I'll wait for a price drop at this point.
The thing that I think will always make most difference is grind size - and that's the thing that is really difficult to convey in a recipe online. I basically use the same V60 'recipe' and tweak my grind until it tastes good to me with every new set of beans I get.
