It's 3 pm on Dec 31st (where I am at least) so it's fair to say I've managed to survive 2020. Only 9 more hours to go and I'm planning to avoid the outside world.
Here's hoping that all the rest of you have survived it, at least mostly intact, and further that 2021 is an improvement (though it may not seem that way as things are right now).

Star Wars: Squadrons – First Impressions
I got a copy of Star Wars: Squadrons yesterday. It has teething issues, a lot of them, but if you can get past them, it does seem rather fun to play...

What fun, we have a broken boiler in the loft. No hot water til it's fixed :(
the state of people bringing up fucked over coal communities across britain to support fascist politics in 2020, as though it wasn't British fascism that fucked them over to begin with.
NONE of these people even know about what England did at Tryweryn*, or the tragedy at Aberfan**.
* A welsh community, Capel Celyn, was forcefully evacuated and drowned in order to create a reservoir to serve England.
** The Aberfan disaster was a 1966 coal tip collapse due to National Coal Board negligence, which fell down a mountain directly on top of a school and its surrounding buildings in the small community of Aberfan. 116 children and 28 adults died. The NCB got away scot free.
UK Pol, Covid, Humour

UK Pol; Covid
So UKPM Boris the floppy haired has been admitted to hospital after failing to recover from Covid-19 after a week of isolation. I do hope he doesn't go and die on us for 2 reasons; partly that if he does, We'll be stuck with Dominic the Crab as replacement, but mostly because how are we supposed to organise street parties with a pandemic on?

I am often found these days in SWTOR (Darth Malgus server), where I currently have 20 characters as the Keyana Legacy. If you want to join in the fun, look me up there or ask me here in a dm if you need/want a referral link.
Otherwise, you can find me on Steam at https://steamcommunity.com/id/shivvifing/ in case I am else-game.
