Simple, Elegant, Abstract battle card game, Battleline (the newer version) has some additional complexity

we take this with us on vacation, it's a 2 player game with just a deck or cards and 9 markers, which you can leave and home and pick up rocks or shells on the beach and use those... it's had to head and is as simple as playing a card and drawing a new one to replace it, the strategy comes from when you chose to put a card in a specific spot, and playing the odds, it's quick mayb 15 minutes per game, so we usually play best 2 of 3. but we have played marathon games of best of 11. A drink in one hand and the game on the table is nice way to enjoy the beach side resort, watching the sunset drop between turns. but maybe that's just me.

Sweet Summer Love Story

I was a little bit unsure of this book, because of the name. I was afraid it was going to be one of those stereotypical books where the girl gets skinny/ discovers make up/ something happens that suddenly makes her pretty, and all the boys notice her. I was pleasantly suprised that it was a lot more than that. Yes it is stated that Belly was prettier than in the past, but all the boys in the story had reasons to like her that went beyond looks. At 16 Belly is starting to act more like an adult, and that plays a large role in drawing the boys attention.
This book also did a great job showing that the characters had more going on than just a teen romance. I read this in a day, and would highly suggest it to anyone looking for a fun new read.

Netflix.... Fuck off

Brother and sister team in the 80s try and make a quick buck by faking paranormal activity in "clients" houses...
The sister is allegedly a psychic and all of the activity appears to be EVP related.
I watch paranormal shows... Do i believe in them??? Sometimes..
But this... Is a hard sell.
I get it Netflix, i really do... But stop putting out every little indie horror flick that catches your eye and leave the scares to the pros.
I can honestly say i think ive only seen one Netflix horror movie that i actually enjoyed. And thats because it was written by Stephen King.
I get it, cash in on what people enjoy... Horror... But expecting fans of the genre to be happy with any slapped together piece of dog vomit is insulting to fans.
While this movie had great potential... It just didn't deliver in the finished product.
Back to the drawing board Netflix...

Everything takes forever to load (1 more)

App constantly hangs

Makes Pokemon Go look good!

The app takes an inordinate amount of time to load up every time, and once logged in there is a black screen of nothing for up to a minute at times. When it has loaded, the graphics and experience are pretty poor quality. A number of times the app hangs and you cannot interact with the map. This is because pop-up tutorial messages are loading/waiting to appear.
An interaction with a whatever it is, akin to catching a pokemon, is simply drawing a symbol on the screen, like training a toddler to learn letters. I'm sure it gets more involved than that, but I have no interest to put up with the frustration to find out.
Utterly dreadful and not ready for launch (given they have a 3-year-old version sitting there as a starting point!).

He’s ‘given up’ Pokemon Go - my 15 year old still loves it though. So I tend to get the low down from both of them on each app 😆
