You've never truly listened to an #album until you've closed your eyes and let your mind bathe in the #music from the moment the needle drops until it rides the label.
Seriously @AmazonUK ? You've sent me two damaged books as brand new but when I go to replace it again, you refuse offering only a refund but you still have stock, just £15 more expensive, an increase of over 41%!! I'm pretty sure Trading Standards would have some thoughts on this
How do they expect us to ever trust them again? This reversion three years later is awkward, but it most be noted too that they kickstarted the shift to closed source licensing that has infected most of the “our OSS is our product” businesses. elastic.co/blog/elasticsearc… (1/2)
Anyone adopting products from these companies, and especially Elastic, will have to expect they will be charged at some point based on the whims of the "license of the year". (2/2)
Loving the new @DOOM DOOM II! Achieved 6 achievements in the first level, 16 by the time I finished. The IDKFA soundtrack rocks, but the fist and chainsaw achievements aren't registering.
Go back a few years, and Heartbleed and Shellshock were a different story. The key is how you respond to these crises, and we'll learn over the coming days who has decent disaster recovery in place and who doesn't.
Seriously @AmazonUK quitting #AmazonPrime is worse than a bad break up! After cancelling you've nagged me on every screen, and now that it's over, you're offering me Prime on every screen. You're not convincing me to return, you're convincing me I need to shop elsewhere.
Thanks @romero, I finally have an excuse to display my old @DOOM 2 floppies, a surviving Christmas present from 1996. I think this will look nice next to it's big box and the Sigil big boxes.
This is the sonic tonic I didn't know I needed. Every single one of my favourite living guitarists, and the late Jeff Beck, are on here and that's barely the start of the ensemble. @MarkKnopfler, this is simply beautiful and it's for a great cause too!
Thanks @romero, I'm very pleased to add the big box Sigil 2 to the rest of my #DOOM collection. Looks nice next to Sigil, no? Now to return to Baphomet's domain once more.
DOOM has been a major part of my life since I first played the shareware version in '94. I playthrough the games regularly and find it an especially great way to release stress when I've had a bad day. It's also the game that completely changed how I played games. (1/4) #DOOM30
I felt a sense of accomplishment when I cleared a level, especially if it was also with 100% kills, items & secrets. Gradually I worked my way up to Ultra-Violence. I can still manage 100% and under par on E3E1 on Ultra-Violence. (3/4) #DOOM30
Ever since that experience, I have never used a cheat code in any game. There have been many games that have absorbed me, made me jump and sped the passage of time, but no single game since has ever had such an effect. (4/4) #DOOM30
On this #DOOMsday we celebrate 30 years of one of my favourite games. Thank you @romero for your continued efforts, I look forward to playing Sigil 2 tonight! #Sigil2#doom30#DOOM
Seriously @AmazonUK, get your act together! I've bought a lot of books from you for over 20 years but this last year I have had so many damaged books. Twice now with the same pricey book, I'll pay more to a dedicated book seller with the expectation that it'll be sent with care.
