However, I've come up with a new thing to do: each month, I'm going to try to complete a random game from my collection of games. Most of the games I own are uncompleted, and I want to see if I can fix that.

This month's game is Alan Wake's American Nightmare.

New Years Resolution failure, mental health

I've recorded my failure to succeed at my New Year's Resolution.

It seemed like a good resolution. I had everything planned out – I only needed to spend half an hour on each of the 4 things I care about.

And yet... I couldn't even do that. So instead, I'm going to be seeking help, because there's clearly something wrong with me if I can't even do 2 hours of work on the things I love.

[Doctor Who] audio dramas | Bernice Summerfield, money

I think I'm going to get it.

Worst case: I don't listen to The New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield until I get up to them in my listening order, and by that time (in the distant future) they're discounted to this price already.

(and I have some spare money right now – I set aside some money over the past few months to get a Thing™, and then didn't get the thing.)

question for UK people

@pupy@chitter.xyz except delivery costs are charged seperately (which I know because I've ordered CDs from them before)

question for UK people

@pupy@chitter.xyz they're either accidentally giving me a good deal on download prices, or accidentally giving me a bad deal on CD prices.

I don't really want to point it out to them, in case it makes the download price go up...

question for UK people

@pupy@chitter.xyz ok, that's weird.

it displays those prices for me, but when I go to the actual offers page it displays in Australian Dollars:

$19.88 on CD
$9.99 for Download.

which is equivalent to around £10 and £5, respectively.

question for UK people

if you go to this page: https://www.bigfinish.com/news/v/happy-birthday-lisa-bowerman1 and scroll down to the bottom, you'll see a line that says:

King Lear is on special offer now at just <Amount 1> on CD or <Amount 2> on download.

what do these amounts display as for you?

[Doctor Who] audio dramas | Bernice Summerfield, money

Walking to Babylon is good, and (the first half of) Birthright is good too.

This was a good choice.

But now I have to make another choice: The New Adventures of Bernice Summerfield, a 2014 follow up series, is currently on sale.

So I have to choose: do I spend $50 now, and get audio dramas from 15 years after what I'm currently listening to, or do I wait and spend $95 on them when I get to that point in the series?
