I would've loved to see where it went next. It set up some big stuff at the end of the season.

Didn't see your comment before posting mine, I also said Archive 81. It was exactly the kind of show I enjoy.

It was such an interesting premise.

Wow, it's like if you price society out of legitimate, properly tested sources they'll go elsewhere.

I first played Outlast in the dark. Curtains closed and lights off. What a fucking mistake that was.

Any time Unity is mentioned all I see in my mind is the floating eyeballs and teeth.

Struggled to get it to run only to be welcomed by... That...

Switched me off completely. I do intend to go back and revisit it though now everything is fixed but they certainly did themselves no favours.

I'm with ya on that one. I tried to like Returnal I really did but it got so irritating and boring and I never felt like I'd made progress.

She's a troll and people need to stop giving her a platform to ragebait.

Halifax brand scrapped after 173 years due to Lloyds takeover (www.bbc.co.uk)

The Halifax brand is being scrapped after 173 years, with all customer accounts to be rebranded to Lloyds.

Lloyds Banking Group, which has owned Halifax since 2009, confirmed the move after reports in May said it was considering phasing out Halifax as a standalone brand.

Lloyds said it remained committed to the town of Halifax and the wider Yorkshire and Humber region, where 3,000 staff are based at its Trinity Road office.

Lloyds Banking Group's chief executive of consumer relationships Jas Singh said very little would change for customers.

"As Halifax changes to Lloyds, our Halifax customers will keep everything they know and love today - the same fantastic app design, the same friendly faces in our branches - even the same sort code and account number," he said.

No job cuts are being announced as part of the shake-up, and Halifax branches will either be rebranded to Lloyds or shifted to a nearby branch throughout 2027.

It is understood the decision was rooted in efforts to simplify the group's portfolio, with the distinction between Halifax and Lloyds seen as becoming less prominent in recent years.

Nearly a third of adults in England live with obesity – Obesity is now more common than high blood pressure in the UK, and nearly 3 times as common as smoking in c/unitedkingdom@feddit.uk

Because it's cheaper to go to McDonalds than it is to get a decent home-cooked meal. If you want to fix obesity, make it easier and cheaper to cook and eat a home-cooked meal.
