Bloody hell, Lilian
I think " Storm Lilian " happened last night, or at least it did in the Surrey / South London area. It was like the weather was having a panic attack. Constant endless thunder, lightning. When I got up there was still the afterglow of lightning flashes in the distance. Nothing about it in ...

Re: merald
I got a Sylvanian Families living room set, to help house my Red Panda family.
It came with a fake TV that you can switch out the pictures of, and I chose one that is labelled "NEWS", and the main bit of the image is a close up of a bear pointing at the camera, mouth open

The web version of the Renpy engine ought to work on Safari - it might be due to it being outdated, though, as you said.
Incidentally this has had quite a few views so far. Roughly 50 or so plays in one day, which is a record for me.
