Neat numbers, poor Mr B, OpenTTD pokes my OCD
1. The car’s display tells us it’s 5.05pm and 5.5°C. 2. He’s had a hard day – first starved overnight then an operation to remove nearly all his remaining teeth. He’s hungry but his mouth hurts too much to eat and he pulls frantically at his gums with his paws, his claws. All I can [...]
