So this made me laugh so much. I debated not sharing it because it could definitely be offensive. If you're legitimately saddened by the queen's death I would not watch this. But I just couldn't stop laughing at the absurdity.

I mean I am sad about it... but also that is still very funny lol. The thing that I can't believe is the utter Britishness of the whole thing - you have a 10 mile queue, which has been closed because it's reached 10 miles, and so another unofficial queue has been created for people to queue to join the queue...

Someone said to me the reason why Americans like the British monarchy so much is that it proves we aren't the only country that does silly things for seemingly no reason.

I think we are currently world leaders for doing stupid things. Our prime minister, in her first announcement of policies, openly said that they would make the rich richer and the poor poorer, but that she was prepared to be unpopular... Hence Biden's reaction in his speech, saying that trickle down economics doesn't work. Because it doesn't. But she even used that term to describe what she was going for. So yeah... not good 😔

Ugh.......wow. I don't like Biden, but I like him a lot more than Trump.
In other news, I have started a new game called "Return to Monkey Island". I guess its a sequel to a pair of games from the early 90s. I never played the originals because I was like 2 but I guess they were very popular. I can only play 30ish minutes a night. So it will probably take me awhile. But I have enjoyed it so far. Its a point and click type of adventure.

Oo I loved one of them when I was younger. Curse of Monkey Island, I think it was called. Hopefully this one is as good as those older ones were 😀

Apparently is is made by two of the three same dudes that made the first two Monkey Island games.

So after hearing it being bigged up by Chloe (and other positive reviews) I got a copy of Cyberpunk the other day, as it was ridiculously cheap in a supermarket I happened to find myself in.
Haven't got round to playing it yet though lol. While it was installing I thought "well while the xbox is on anyway, I might as well have a go at this bit on Outriders that I got stuck on before". Actually got past it, remembered how much I like that game and have been playing that ever since lol. But Cyberpunk is now on there ready for when I do want to start 🙂

I've just discovered that Dragon Quest XI is no longer on Game Pass, so I can't play it any more I looked it up on ebay, and it's like £40 to actually buy the disc, which is... a lot lol. Maybe if I buy it digitally from xbox store it might be cheaper, thinking about it. I'll have to check that. But for now... 😠Just checked and it's £35 for the digital license. So looks like my time in Erdrea has come to an end 😢

I've joined a private Minecraft server, which has been set up as a safe place for trans people for play together without worry about being who they are. They all seem a really lovely bunch 😊
The only sad thing is that the server has only been up for a week and there have been two instances already which both look like targeted attempts to cause grief 😔 Burning down what people had built etc. Looks like people pretending to be nice (and trans), getting the server info, logging on and causing carnage and then disappearing off and removing themselves. The admins are looking at ways to prevent this (or at least be able to instantly repair the damage if it does happen) in the future though, so hopefully just a teething problem.
I hadn't played a huge amount of minecraft before, so I've pretty much just been helping others with their builds whilst learning anything more than the pure basics that I already knew lol!

Sounds fun, shame about the vandals though. Do you have a link to that at all? Some of the RTrans folk might well be interested in this. I've said before it's really not my type of game at all so won't be joining in myself.

Cool!
In other video game news, the new Zelda drops on Friday. I probably wont have time to play it right away, but I look forward to sinking my teeth into it eventually.

I know you have to join the discord first, to then get your username whitelisted for the actual game server. Which makes the fact that people with bad intentions got in even more surprising. But I can send a link to the Discord channel across to you 😊

Hey gals, I don't actually play video games, but I play chess, and that online, so my wife accuses me of playing video games. Like a teenager she says. She says I am addicted. She doesn't appreciate chess at all. I do have an archer game where I player is female I didn't choose it it was just part of the game. I don't play it a lot but I love thinking of myself as a female. I want to play chess as a girl but officially if you change your gender with us f you can't go back. And I am afraid my wife will find out. It is the same reason when I use a feminine avatar in some of my games it doesn't last long I am so afraid my wife will see the avatar as I play , so I change it. I am such a chicken.

I can really relate to wanting to play as a woman in video games. I take that option whenever I can in a game. On the rare occaison I have tried playing as a man when I didn't have to, it soon felt uncomfortable and I restarted as a woman,
