**Found it - https://neal.fun/infinite-craft/

I remember playing a word game some time ago, maybe on a website, where you’d put words together to make other concepts.
It would start with elements I think and it would keep getting more and more complicated.
Like water + wood might get you “raft” or clay + clay = “pottery”.

Does anyone know what I’m on about?

30 years ago my mum got chatting to a lady sat in on a rehearsal for one of my concerts. She was drawing sketches of us.
Mum bought the finished painting a while later and it hung at my folks’ house for a few years.
I found the concert on one of the tapes I’ve been digitising.

Is this PC build good value for money in the current climate?
Based on playing new AAA games on reasonable settings for some years to come. Storage not needed.

I have found one of my junior school production videos. The quality is about what you might expect for circa 1989/90.

There are a couple of reasons why I always thought I was fatter than I was as a kid. One of which is kind of obvious (to me) here. I wasn’t fat but I was bigger than basically every other kid on stage / in my class.

We were going to watch Hamnet this evening but I decided I didn’t want something sad and emotional so we settled on Memoir of a Snail.

The wonderful thing about analogue recording in the 90s is that I now have silly little videos like this.

My dad walking out of a bar in Corfu without noticing he forgot to stop recording.
It is late evening and Zorba the Greek melts into the background as he strolls across the baked pavement in his shorts and sandals towards the harbour side to look at the boats.

I’ve managed to get the video capture working (though I am now another usb port down) and spent an hour or so enjoying a peak 1998 Christmas.
Highlights include -
A family game of twister
Me interviewing my first boyfriend about marriage and children after we’d been together for all of 2-3 months and what we’d be doing in 20 years (I may actually send that to him)
Undiagnosed 19 year old me realising that it was possible to “tap out” of interacting with my overstimulating and loud family by presenting to be asleep on the sofa (while my Dad filmed me).

I have a bunch of home videos on Video8 and VHS that I want to watch. I also want to digitise some of them but that’s secondary.
I can play the v8s on Dad’s old camcorder but it’s in b&w without audio through the viewfinder as it doesn’t have a screen.

I cannot find *any* RCA cables even though I know I definitely had some. The rca to usb converter I had is also missing so I ordered a new one.

It arrived this morning but I can’t get it working on my PC. I suspect my dodgy USBs are the culprit. Device manager is flashing again.
Video plays but then freezes, audio cuts in and out.

Nowhere within Roach distance sells basic RCA to HDMI cables so I can’t even play it on the TV.

I just want to hear my Dad’s voice 🥺

How shitty is your router when every single time you open the app you get this? I mean, 99% of the time that’s exactly what I was opening the app to do but I feel like there should be more.
I don’t think I even know what the actual app looks like.

Still reeling at the BBC changing the header graphic for the iPlayer app on Apple TV after probably about 10 years.
Someone finally noticed Gary Linekar doesn’t work there any more.

Now we have to look at Winkleman’s fringe for another 10 years.
