Not dead yet. Proprietor of SuperChallenge, a supplier of Japanese videogames to the UK and beyond. https://superchallenge.co

Sold for £13.49. - £3.75 P+P. - £3.75 for return label because after 6 days, he "JUST DOESN'T LIKE IT." - £3.75 to post to new buyer + £1.96 fees. - Leaves 28p to cover the cost of buying the game in the first place. No idea why businesses don't offer you 100% market rate for your games, though.

- Promoted to League One. - Send youth player out on loan. 16. Never played a match. Fractures his spine. Out for 6 months. Two weeks after getting injured, demands to leave as he wants to play in the Premier League. - Sell him to Villa. - Entire squad hates me for selling ‘one of our best players.’

First season was a rebuilder. Mid-table. Second season, needed one point from three games to get promoted automatically. Didn't get it. Scored in the 92nd and 95th minute of the playoff final instead.

Oh, your son likes it? Then sure, let me just knock 40% off the price for you, BUDDY. I'll tell eBay and they'll give me a discount on my fees, and I'll let Royal Mail know so they don't charge me for postage. All because your fictional son likes this card, but you don't love him enough to pay up.

HMRC's new Making Tax Digital system is comedy. I can see that it is absolutely wrong in what its asking me to pay on January 31st, in my favour. Wonder how long it would take them to tap me up on Feb 1st when they realise they're £7k short?

So I listed up all the Pokemans cards I got graded. Dude just offered me 40% of the price on a £50 card and asked if I accept Klarna. He's not the first. I apologise for ever complaining about how game collectors haggle. Like...a lot.

Watching Grimsby vs City on Sky Sports Plus. Godawful commentator thinks "Grecians" is pronounced "greshuns." Bit rough, given its our nickname. I assume he's been on a lovely summer holiday to Gresh during the off-season.

Bought Helldivers 2 last night and played it online with another human person and we done won the mission and I shot things and fired a big cannon and it was fun and I liked it. I might even play some more.

Fixed Denuvo bullshit. After watching the shitshow on Friday, I have to do this. New save. New data update in place. ECFC in League Two with...15 first-team players, £0 transfer budget, and £500 p/w of wages available. This'll be a challenge.

Worked on my laptop last night. Only had VSCode open. Back on my main machine, try to fire up Football Manager. Nope. Apparently I've triggered a "24-hour rolling Denuvo DRM lock" because I've booted two machines that have the game installed. Even though its from Game Pass. What the fucking tits.

Just signed off a new rule with my client and team that if they copy/paste a message to me from Claude or GPT, then they will not get a response. And I'm the judge. Got people saying "Claude can you write a message to Ken that explains what you did" and I am absolutely not fucking here for it.
