Something like this may be good (my dad's used similar to insulate his shed that doubles as his workshop), though I imagine you'll also want another boarding layer to cover it to keep the space looking nice?

Anyone not familiar the town in day to day life may know it from The Office (original UK version). -

That reminded me of something I'd forgotten about but I think also played a big factor in the backlash. The Leaks that happened between covid postponement and release, showing a lot of the big narrative moments in the game out of sequence/context.
Link to it in case anyone wants to watch that hasn't already seen it.

Having had time to process it:
The backlash it got at the time was massively overblown. I actually liked the split narrative approach, and how it gave a different perspective on events
Since the October Humble Choice games have been out I've been playing Station to Station, loving the cozy vibe as I work out the best way to connect locations.

I uesd to have Spotify, but got a bit frustrated when trying to find certain soundtracks I wanted to listen to, only to find them either incomplete or missing on the service. So went back to my old collection and looked into a way to make it accessible to me everywhere.

Though as others have said for the most people, music is a solved problem with the likes of Spotify, Amazon Music and Youtube Music covering that space with their own vast library's of easy to access music.

Maybe not in terms of the community, but in terms of the vast reach of the library that they had/have. Having said...At this point in time the main successors could be argued to have surpassed OiNK. Maybe not in terms of the community, but in terms of the vast reach of the library that they had/have.
Having said that I did miss out on OiNK entirely, so I can only judge by what I saw that came afterwards, but feel a similar loss for What.CD. rip rippy

Comment on YouTuber Joel Haver to create twelve feature-length films in twelve months in ~movies

This also plays into what surprised me, in terms of the ownership chain, since tbh I never really looked into it beyond knowing it was the same overall group. That EU Just Eat is the parent company compared to US Grub Hub.
I guess given the way most tech companies operate it feels like it's normally the other way around.
