I prefer the way Cyberpunk does it, you get XP for killing things/doing quests and there is a separate pool for XP and skills that you get for doing stuff like hacking, crafting etc. Good mix of both types of systems and means you can naturally progress as you go along.

When is the 12 days of Christmas sale starting? Is it from 01/12?

My main haul from Black Friday, and I don't think it was even a super awesome deal, I just wanted/needed it, and it was the best price I could get it for. Dualsense Edge, normally £209 RRP everywhere as far as I can see it. Using Ebay 20% off code I got one from Game Collection outlet for £176...

One day you will finish it I'm sure! I can't even remember if I did or not, but I hated the way you levelled up in Skyrim. Much prefer getting XP for killing stuff or doing quests, in Skyrim as I recall, you get XP for doing stuff. This actually looked like a pretty fun game, one I'll look...

I moved from HSBC to Nationwide recently, £200 cashback as well if you move over the stuff that fits the criteria. They have a Flex regular saver which is currently 8% as well, but limited to £200 paid in PCM. Beats just about every other savings rate out there though for the money. Edit - MSE...

Weird decision not to show the side of the boxes, the bit most of us actually have on display most of the time!

Unless your disc is corrupted somehow, these are mass produced and will likely all have the same data on them.

Don't watch Season 2 then! Season 1 is a lot more action oriented, Season 2 less so.

Side benefit, nice not to have to take meter readings as you get accurate data in, in my case 30 minute intervals. It's also handy to see what usage is like at different times of the day (if you get a bill for more than you expect, you can see if a certain time of day has higher than expected...

It doesn't no, not even for me really, on a good/sunny day I can use some excess solar to power the aircon on heating mode, but tbh at the times when you need it the most, there isn't as much solar to go around so that is a really limited use case. I'm on the gas tracker with Octopus which has...

If anyone is interested, I have stats from a whole year worth of solar info, including what I paid each month and things, all in a nice table. I flipped from Go to Flux in spring as it paid better for exporting, which was partly why my bills were going negative then. This is start of September...

I got 2 of these from Sony store new for £10 total recently (for both!), was a mad deal that got pulled pretty quickly. I don't possess a Dualsense Edge yet but I'm hoping to get one in the BF sales coming up shortly. Both of my PS5 controllers are shot to bits and the left stick drifts left...

I hope your bank account is fully charged for all of that!

A ladda rechargeable batteries showed up. From deal (3 for 2): https://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/ikea-rechargable-batteries-chargers-3-for-2-4233185 I have some eneloops but I have more things that need batteries than I have rechargeable ones, so I figure with the addition of these I will not...

Cocoon is on Xbox Game pass if you can play it on that, PC or Xbox, it's not totally free there but you can usually get trials or whatever, I can invite new members for 14 days free on PC game pass, but doesn't work on existing accounts/subscriptions or probably people that have used it before...
