Can it be fitted nasally?

I haven't - heck I'm going to have to restart The Witcher I someday and see if I can make sense of the control system - but if you have and liked the music, GoG are giving away a video of a live concert featuring the music from Wild Hunt until the 11th. Sounds pretty atmospheric.

And they've added Jill of the Jungle to their freebie list!
Jill of the Jungle: The Complete Trilogy on GOG.com[^]
Talk about a blast from the past!
... But I very much doubt that I'll enjoy playing it now.
Deponia, however, is a Hell of a lot of fun (if you like the Adventure genre) -- and is down to 99 cents!

Is Jill kind of hot or have I been single for too long?

I experienced this with Knights and Merchants[^].
Used to be one of my favorites when I was a kid, but now I think it's sooooo slow... I was completely fed up after the 4th stage

It's a great game, probably still the best game I've played this generation. It fails in a few RPG elements, mainly that your progression through the game is very strictly controlled, most enemies respawn but there's no grinding (you'll work out why) and obviously your character is quite fixed, equipment and types types fairly limited. That's the bad stuff though, the game is great and where it rises above other games is that there are no boring generic side-missions. Even the non-main quests are interesting with interesting characters and situations and often decisions to be made. The main quests are even better. There's also a game within-the-game called "Gwent" (don't quote me on that) which you'll be playing along with the main game.
Compared to Skyrim it's less RPG, more action-RPG, but it's the better game.

I read the books some years ago, so I grabbed the first game when it came out - but the control system drove me crazy, everytime I tried to hit something the view spun round and I couldn't see the baddies anymore. 
I'll probably try again once I'm done with Skyrim.

Thanks for the link. I've just found an old favorite from about 20 years ago. It worked great on the mac I had back then, but was always flaky on Windows. I gave up mac almost 20 years ago when I bought my first Windows '98 PC for college. I still remember the excitement when I got VS6 on it, realizing that I no longer had to write and compile my code in the school computer lab!

I'm sitting at my desk when my mobile phone rings. I look over to see who is calling me. It was...me!?!? Right there on the screen was my name and mobile number. Anyone know what this might be?
Reminds me of a phone trick we used to do back in the 70s where you could dial a certain set of numbers on your landline phone, hang up, and it would call you back. 'twas a neat trick.

No, I was busy on another call.

Constantly bombarded with spam calls. They may just have spoofed your number - they usually try to spoof a number with your area code in the hopes that you are more likely to pick up. I never do if I don't know the caller and will block if they don't leave a message and sometimes if they do!

I've heard it called 'neighbor spoofing' where the first x digits are the same as yours, usually the first 3 (or 6 if you include area code) in my experience. Sounds like David hit the trifecta and all the spoofed digits matched.

I got one of those recently. It was my "service provider" wanting to contact me about some service. Hung up before they got to the press x to speak to a customer representative.
New scam I think.

Just a glitch in the Matrix, nothing to be worry about.
Also, don't mind the gentleman in the suit and shades who looks exactly like Elrond and who's going to ring your bell in three seconds.

Perhaps it was time traveling you with suggestions on what stocks to buy. Or warning you to not post this on Code Project.

Very common trick by spam callers to spoof the first 6 digits to match your phone, so you find the number familiar and tend to answer. The last 4 are randomly generated, and coincidentally they matched your real number's last 4

At least I presumed it was a hardware switch. The iPhone 8 has a switch on the side to mute all sounds. Only, it does not mute all sounds. There have been a few cases where the sound still played even with the "hardware" switch set to off.

So, Apple gets to decide what gets muted and what doesn't?
Surprised?

LOL. you have examples of those few vases ?
I think you can set favorites in your contacts that will override the switch.
I'd rather be phishing!
