For those of you that know me... I am potentially THE biggest fan of the Classic Brittish Victoria Sponge Cake.
My beautiful aunt, used to bake it to perfection, and I used to adore going to hers, where she would bring this pristine cake tin out, containing the most delicate and lovingly made cake.
I've come to realise that the emotional attachment to this cake coupled with it's exquisite texture and taste - takes me back to that love filled moment. Where each mouthful was to be savoured. This is why it's so hard to give things up... What is the attachment we have to things?
I for one will never give up my lust for this cake lol

Still intending to switch to Bluesky, but I rise from my long slumber to shout out @RealKrystalFox, a thoroughly wonderful person who made my first Scotiacon absolutely magical.
I don't usually gush about guests of honour, but she gets an exception. Gave her this to take home.
@RealKrystalFox Holy crap, I relate to this right now. I had to let go of something I was holding onto at Scotiacon this weekend.
(Scotia was a bit of a rollercoaster for me. The rest of the con was easier after I let go.)
@WebstersYouTube Also, by coincidence, JayzTwoCents has done a video where he's trying to build a PC of as similar specs as possible for the same price. Interesting viewing. youtu.be/7wj2lZpRLfs
I still can't get over the £699 price tag of PS5 Pro. At that point, you can start getting into PC gaming and, while you won't get like-for-like performance, you will get a flexible and scalable upgrade path in a machine that can also be used for productivity.
The things I'm most undecided on - and have looked into least - are alternatives to YouTube and Twitter. If anyone has any good recommendations for these, I'll be extra appreciative. Open source options get top consideration.

It's time for some changes. Quite a lot of them, in fact.
TLDR: sometime soon, I'll be leaving this account, and Twitter, and moving elsewhere. See thread for explanation.

@WebstersYouTube Seven hundred Quid is absolutely a valid price point for an entry-level PC that could easily be expanded later.
At least this isn't the PS5's initial release price. I guess they learned something when they tried that with the PS3. (Which was their last good home console, IMO.)
This thing's still VERY rough, but rather than just making a text adventure of my own, the idea is for it to be a basic tool for quickly making simple text adventure RPGs. Let me know if this interests you.
