Question:

It looks like the dream team has moved on from Apex and is now trying its hand at losing in Star Wars Squadrons. But there seems to be a mystery in the game. What does the A button do in Star Wars Squadrons?

Results:

Get me very irritated was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:

  • Fire primary weapon (0%)
  • Fire missile (20%)
  • Accelerate (0%)
  • Brake (0%)
  • Jump (0%)
  • Cycle Targets (0%)
  • Absolotely nothing (0%)
  • Bring an annoying message to screen (20%)
  • Get me very irritated (60%)

Analysis:

Yes, you are correct. Pushing the A button was getting me very irritated because it was not doing what it’s supposed to. It was also bringing a very annoying message to the screen that wasn’t helping matters very much either. We have actually found how to get the A button to do more than display an annoying message. You have to pull and hold the left trigger to select what you want the A button to do. Not very intuitive if you ask me.

Question:

Now, I don’t profess to be any good in the culinary department. If it comes in a box or tin, I’m fine, but it ends there. Recently I’ve been branching out into cooking rice. I know, we’re starting small. Now, I know you can do this the boring way and measure things out, but where’s the fun in that? What I want to know is whether it’s possible to cook the right amount of rice?

Results:

No was the clear winner with 63% of the votes from the following selection:

  • Yes (38%)
  • No (63%)

Analysis:

Anyone who answered yes is either lying or is one of those boring people that measures it out in a cup first. I actually made some rice right after I set this question. I really went light so I didn’t cook too much. And I didn’t. But I was bloody hungry because I didn’t have enough to eat. Had to get me a bowl of breakfast cereal to fill me up.

Question:

Oh dear. We’ve moved onto a new game, Destiny 2. We were supposed to do it together, but Luke went ahead and then glitched the game for Paul and I. I’ve fixed mine, but it meant going back and redoing some of the stuff we’ve done earlier. Will Paul have the tenacity to go back and redo missions in Destiny 2?

Results:

Yes was the clear winner with 60% of the votes from the following selection:

  • Yes (60%)
  • No (40%)

Analysis:

An interesting one this as I'm not really sure how to call it. He did go back and try to do them, but didn't manage it. That said, it's very confusing. We did, however, get to play together today and he completed them then, so it's all done.

Question:

It doesn't look like this Covid thing is going anytime soon. Do you think Santa will need a vaccine to deliver presents this Christmas?

Results:

Yes was the clear winner with 80% of the votes from the following selection:

  • Yes (80%)
  • No (20%)

Analysis:

But surely Santa is immune to viruses and things like that. Thinking about it though, Santa is going to spread COVID at Christmas. Expect a spike in cases.

Question:

Apparently there’s an election or something this week. I’ll be honest, I’ve not really been watching it that closely and it’s kind of crept up on me. I should probably have been a bit more organized if I was going to get elected. Probably not old enough yet though. Anyway, do you think it will rain on Tuesday?

Results:

Yes was the clear winner with 67% of the votes from the following selection:

  • Yes (67%)
  • No (33%)

Analysis:

Interesting, most of you thought it would rain on Tuesday and, well, I guess you saw what happened!

Question:

What an amazing day (Sunday November 15th) that will go down in history. Triumphs galore. Lewis Hamilton with a world class drive to win a seventh world championship. Today's result was all about the driver and not about the car. A fantastic drive to take the win when he was clearly struggling throughout the weekend. Just an amazing way to win the championship with a win in Turkey. And if that wasn't enough to make it an amazing day, we completed a campaign in Destiny 2 with Paul. Who do you think had the biggest success on November 15th 2020?

Results:

Rag was the clear winner with 80% of the votes from the following selection:

  • Lewis Hamilton (20%)
  • Rag (80%)

Analysis:

Ha, ha, ha. I hadn’t taken a look at the results until now, when I’ve come to add the analysis. I know I voted for Lewis, but nobody else did. I do have to say, it is quite an ordeal to manage Paul through a mission. The thing, in my mind, that swings it in Lewis’ direction is that he’s out there on his own. I normally have someone to bear some of the Paul burden. On Saturday, we had three others along for the ride, showing that other generations can participate too. However, even with big machine gun that goes boom, we did not succeed this past weekend.

A nice easy week ahead of me with Thanksgiving holiday. I do have to do some work, but I should get plenty of time to focus on other things. Will I do anything productive this Thanksgiving or piss it away playing video games?

  • Productive (0%)
  • Video Games (100%)

Analysis:

I’m not sure I entirely pissed it all away playing video games, but I tried my hardest to.

Question:

So, what exactly are triumphs for?

Results:

Riding was the clear winner with 40% of the votes from the following selection:

  • Driving (0%)
  • Riding (40%)
  • Confusing (20%)
  • Rewarding (20%)
  • Bragging (0%)
  • Celebrating (0%)
  • Masturbating (20%)

Analysis:

Triumphs are still a mystery to me. Obviously they make perfect sense in the car or motorcycle world, but in Destiny 2 they don't really seem to serve a purpose. At least that I can figure out, anyway.
