Banks getting arsey with wallet transfers

Banks getting arsey with wallet transfers
Anyone else having this issue? Whilst RBS say they still allow bitcoin investing. They keep blocking my attempts to transfer to C-pay. I rang them but they read out some irrelevant generic corporate statement about fraud and that was that. Despite assuring them I am me and it's just an innocent crypto "investment"
I found a bitcoin ATM a couple of miles away but their commission rates are insane.

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!!
thanks for all your help. I have a successful work around for now.
Buy BTC in revolut and withdraw to a wallet.

Funnily enough a new article came up about this on my feed this morning. Sounds like several banks such as Starling, Barclays and Monzo are all starting to ban sending funds to exchanges.

I think there's more than just those on the article. But whilst some come out and admit it others hide behind fraud statements until they know what they're doing.
No worries. Happy to help. Just hoping this isn't the start of a larger crackdown. It was only a matter of time before banks became too threatened by crypto and will ultimately want to stop people using exchanges rather than storing fiat with them.
Pretty much what happened last time btc was peaking.
I’m glad Fire isn’t on the list just yet, again, they would when everyone else said no.

Do you recommend Fire? I looked on trustpilot and it's mostly 1 star reviews saying their accounts are locked.
Transfer funds from your bank account to Revolut first. And then use Revolut to actually send the funds to your preferred crypto exchange. I believe Revolut are crypto friendly and I've had no issues since doing this.
So I was able to set up a revolut account and send money from RBS to it. But now I'm trying to transfer from revolut to C pay and coinbase and both are bouncing the payments back to revolut.
I wouldn't move my banking to them, but it's how I've always sent money to Coinbase since my regular bank stopped sending back in 2018.
another option is starling bank.
dl the app, have phot id on hand and verify your account.
then do the same thing with coinbase.
took me about 30 mins.
now i can transfer fro sarling to cb and buy my btc.
fuck the high st banks, they hate crypto cos they cant control it. robbing fucking pricks (excuse me).

I've had a few issues buying Crypto in the past with various cards but so far Lloyd's basic debit card account has given me no trouble at all, both depositing and withdrawing to my Cpay.com account.
How long this lasts I don't know but I've done a few transfers in the low thousands and they've not batted an eyelid.
Just thought I'd mention it incase anyone is thinking of opening accounts specifically to deal with their crypto. Lloyds linked to Cpay.com works well for me.
Cheers BB

Some of these banks have investment platforms of their own, and every penny moved into crypto is a penny beyond their reach, for investment and holdings. Banks need to hold funds to operate, so crypto is a threat to their very existence.
As someone who works in the payments industry, there's some misunderstandings and misconceptions in this thread that are worth addressing.
These banks aren't "threatened", trying to "keep your money" for themselves or stop you getting better interest rates. If that was true they wouldn't let you deposit into investment platforms etc.
The fact of the matter is that Crypto is a largely unregulated market in the UK and there are legitimate fears that these exchanges can be used for criminal activity like money laundering and terrorism financing. When they say "fraud" they are referring to fraudsters stealing card details and using them to buy crypto which I can assure you happens often enough for banks to be concerned.
There's also the issue that customers can lose money either due to market volatility or scams and banks have a duty of care to their customers, but this won't be the main reason.
Of course for those of us who just use LB to get some weed on here that doesn't really matter to us, but our card issuers don't know that.
Having said all the above, I do think banks could relax the rules a bit or offer a feature to allow you to approve the transactions instead of flat out declining them. They could also be a bit more consistent in my opinion.
The good news is that Crypto has become mainstream so quickly that I'd be surprised if there wasn't some regulation coming which will address the issues people are having. I know that the Treasury were planning to debate crypto regulation in Q1 this year, but I'm not sure if they actually did that or what the outcome was.

You make good points and clearly from a level of experience. I have two overriding issuesthat get my personal goat:
1). No matter how often they say it my bank is not trying to protect ME, they are covering themselves. They sent me a code- I put in the code. They texted me to confirm I was genuine- I said YES. They then blocked the transaction (£200 to Bitpanda FFS) AND cancelled my card without telling me which made me look a right cunt in Tesco’s the next day. 45 minutes on the phone before I even got to speak to a real person. That was my punishment for attempting to buy a smidgen of crypto!
2). They hit the likes of me ‘cos it’s so EASY and it builds their anti-fraud stats to supply to the FCA (or whoever) showing what a firm stance they are taking whilst the crims and the launderers (which are DIFFICULT) carry on 100% as normal.
I could go on but like I say....twats!

Excellent and informative post - thank you.
I just buy on local bitcoins, loads of different options and very little commission. Of course conventional wisdom would tell you to then go through a wallet and tumble etc etc, but quite frankly no one in authority cares about an old hippy and and his wife getting a bit of hash, so I'm not bothered about hiding my transactions too much!

Starling haven’t let me make a transaction to my exchange in over a fucking week! Typical fuck over of the poor masses once again, they want to give you 0.3% interest on the billions and billions they earn from us and wonder why we don’t want the fucking money in their accounts, soon Crypto will be just for the rich just like fiat, odd they’re stopping the people buying when billions is being plowed into crypto by the same cunts that are stopping us saying it’s fraudulent... Says it all. The world needs to be toppled and very quickly before we live in the films we watch.
Lloyds blocked my last one when using a card and were unrepentant when I tried to rip them a new arsehole just stating that “most such transactions are fraudulent”....twats....
Sounds very much like the corrupt old boy institutions are trying to bury crypto. Then I suspect they'll launch their own version and get even richer. Much like Elon with his pump and dump of BTC and launch of Dogecoin.
Ive been getting my weed this way that long I don't know any street dealers anymore.

get yourself a Starling bank account. they have no issue with crypto.

It's probably because there not getting any thing out of it, banks are arseholes. I think you can buy and send crypto from revolut now
You def can buy from revolut but you gotta pay for revolut metal to withdraw crypto (12.99 per month where I am)
Try a new bank
Monzo
Fire
Starling
All quick to set up all happy to interact with coinbase (in my experience).

Hope this isnt a sign of things to come.

Favourite fictional character to watched baked
For me, the first that springs to mind is Jim from Friday Night Dinner. If you know, you know.
Eric cartman for me.
Especially the episode when he pretends to have Tourette syndrome, can’t stop the giggles to that when baked.

When I read that I thought it said ‘Favourite fictional character to watch Naked’ (😲) and I was going to ask if cartoon characters count?! 😉😂
I know it’s probably obvious but any one from Trailer Park Boys!
Especially enjoying these two at the mo!

If you ever start taking things too seriously, just remember that we are talking monkeys on an organic spaceship flying through the universe
were more likely stuck behind the artic circle while the rest of the unknown world flies around in VERMANA'S. did you know outside the artic circle, sea floor, underground and the forest fungi layer is a hidden worlds i have only been blessed to get a glimpse of.
humans cant create anything original we can only recreate. everything from elves imps fairies rods vampires dinosaurs giants goblins and every creation you are going to see or think of were only recreated from an original species that might or might not still interact with the people inside the artic circle. or more likely the stu-art that is on every textured surface. we pick a lot up subliminally.

lies, read a bible bro thats all lies. the earth maybe flat but its shape isnt proven yet, no photo id even with thousands of satellites in space plus if you read the bible you would know we are a creation based on God. no animal seeks out the God plant more then humans even though they all appreciate it just as much as us.
ive seen the curvature of the earth mate, do you really believe its flat?!
god, much like money is the root of so much evil in the world, both should be banished for ever.

bro
i dont need to research rik clay - i believe my own eyes.
anyone who flies above 40000 feet can see the curvature of the earth. FACT.
tricky to say how far i could see, but it was hundreds if not thousands of miles.
god is the illusion my friend. and a sick and twisted one at that. god has a lot to answer for imho and cannot be trusted, cannot be respected and most certainly cannot expect blind faith and lack of it casues eternal damnation. religion is a very old system of control and should be banished from the face of our planet.
i believe in logic, science and reason. three things that blind faith is not compatible with.
i mean you no disrespect btw. each to their own.

rik clay died because he was to close to the truth. if you choose to ignore his info you choose to ignore truth. make your own judgement on if earth is a globe or not. i still think its not proven and yeah i saw the curvature but im smarter then you so i didnt immediately believe what the government was promoting me to believe. i did more research and came to greater conclusion.
i do not ignore the truth, just becasue i have no interest in flat earth nonsense! i have made my judgement - the earth is a sphere.
you say you are smarter than me cos you dont believe your eyes?! you saw the curvature, but choose to believe the earth is flat, so it is you who choses to ignore the truth!
i dont want an argument and i dont want to insult you, so please take this in the best way.

i choose to believe the evidence present to agrue the case that the world is not sphere. far from it it could be a cube or a endless plain(which would look like curvature from space). look at all the people praying towards mecca. Im sorry bro but you need to expand your research first before telling people the earth is flat sphere cube or whatever. the truth is no one knows and those that do dont talk.
mate
from my quick reading; rik clay's work was hosted on david icke websites.
david icke is interesting, but he is not what he pretends to me.
please read about alice bailey and madame blavatsky. he stole a lot of their ideas and theories which are rooted in the occult and the regurgitated them into his books.

you need blind faith it stronger then prayer. but any please please take time to reseach rik clay he doesnt just prove that earth is not a globe he shows a lot about the conspiracies controling our lives on a daily bases. youtube rik clay 11 11
sorry pal, you are way off the mark.
conspiracies controlling our lives shouldnt be conflated with flat earth nonsense.
i wish you well with your flat earth and blind faith, so please, lets just have the courage of our convictions and agree to disagree.
if, the world turns out to be flat and is ruled by a god, then i when i meet my maker i plan to rip them a new one. they can stick their heaven where the sun dont shine.
what kind of omnipotent being allows the hate/violence/starvation/inequality/injustice in the world and does nothing to change it? not my kind of god! if there is a god, they have a lot to answer for in my book!
would you setup up a fish tank to watch the fish suffer and do nothing? no. we call that cruel. which, if god turned out to be true, is how i would define them. cruel, twisted and inhumane.
my god is me, your god should be you.
much love my friend.

just read your other comment - why dont you fix it miracle man?!
i think you have missed all of the points i have tried to make to you and are not worth the time to respond anymore.

ill tell you why i havent fixed it g. i do all my miracles with cannabis. last time i took it i saw jesus in the flesh and had a dream where i took satan on one on one. since seeing then everything has been locked down and i cant even get high on this site, sucks cos i know i got a chance.
im here to change it so if im nothing then im sorry. im just one man working for good. btw God can you tell what colour my pants are? but you cant even if you say you are god. put simple god is the only source of power and he give his power out to whoever he pleases. this life is supposable short whereas the after life is for eternity. so think of what matter rather then complaining about a plan your unaware of and cant comprehend.
to me being a believer doesnt matter that much with his decision. good people go heaven regardless.

no you do not 'need' blind faith, unless you choose to beileve in god, fairies or any other nonsense! i will have a read about rik clay, but i really dont think anything will change my opinion.

youve lost me... i hold everyone back with my view that there is no god and that the earth is a sphere??? thats just silly...

why do you think they can't use a satellites to take a single picture of earth or its curvature but can send balloons up. its a conspiracy bro just letting you know. btw we have 3thousand plus satellites active right now so there is no excuse.

The world is like a ride in an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it you think it's real because that's how powerful our minds are. The ride goes up and down, around and around, it has thrills and chills, and it's very brightly colored, and it's very loud, and it's fun for a while. Many people have been on the ride a long time, and they begin to wonder, "Hey, is this real, or is this just a ride?" And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and say, "Hey, don't worry; don't be afraid, ever, because this is just a ride." And we … kill those people. "Shut him up! I've got a lot invested in this ride, shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry, look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real." It's just a ride. But we always kill the good guys who try and tell us that, you ever notice that? And let the demons run amok … But it doesn't matter, because it's just a ride. And we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort, no work, no job, no savings of money. Just a simple choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your doors, buy guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love instead see all of us as one. Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, to a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defenses each year and instead spend it feeding and clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would pay for many times over, not one human being excluded, and we could explore space, together, both inner and outer, forever, in peace.

I feel like the entire world around me has been DRIFTING... in a level of uncontrollable Insanity for a fucking unfathomable amount of Time.
Einstein said the definition of Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again. End of Story. DUNG...EONS...and..DRAG...ONS.?
I'm out now, sober and correcting(no longer sober)..asking can anyone count up to Ptolemy and follow me...?
Greece and Rome were not times too dissimilar to these
Why are we continuing to live like it's a dark age when we have the INTERNET?
Sustainable living in a paradise is possible for every single person on this planet.
But people continue to be 👇 oppressed because of the greed and corruption that exists the world over, with no path to get anyone in power to talk about proper redistribution of wealth and not dog shit tax rates. Due to said corruption being so rife in political systems.
We need an ethical scientific approach to world governance.
Simple ratio, logic a bit of mathematics and technology could allow people to actually prosper rather than allow the world to endlessly eat its own ever growing tail, creating disease and inequality while all our fates lie in the hands of a seemingly more inept select few with fingers on buttons and buttons on triggers making the ever more religiously fading, diversely and radically thinking Zombieland dance to the beat of a JOB FOREVER.
This is the sort of perspective Smoking Weed has given me. I probably won't reach pension age....but I march towards the inevitable cancer gleefully thinking at least having a joint or ten allows me a chance to breathe and realise that this, as a wise man once said., "this is WATER"...
People continue to accept things we know to be wrong because we are not afforded time to think/philosophise. Because the ticking time bomb that our world has become requires many to suffer to benefit a few
Our pillars of society are not a solid enough foundation when there are nukes around. (NAGASAKI, HIROSHIMA)
Why haven't we learned enough from WORLD WAR 2 and shit like the MILGRAM EXPERIMENT.
The people at the top must do better. And the people following the line must learn to march to A REAL BEAT. TOGETHER.
And stop looking at the world as if we are rungs on a ladder.
We are cogs in a wheel..turning over because some meatheads learned to bang drums.
We are beyond this, we need these fatcat meatheads of the sticks and a plan for getting those cogs turning in an engine. the world is a ball. In a universe where we have looked through microscopes and telescopes and recorded nature through time and space....
WE ARE at the top of the food chain, the Apex predators of the fucking UNIVERSE, PEOPLE.
Cheer up!! Be good! Don't take shit. Give

It's a relief to hear someone else articulate many of the things I too feel. I hope lockdown has given people a sufficient break from the hamster wheel that they decide they don't want to hop straight back on it.
Bro I honestly think those ancient Greeks had electricity...Zeus holding a lightning bolt ⚡?
Then someone else came along and said "I give you perpetual motion".... ladies and gentlemen....."the Antikythera mechanism"
WIND UP TECHNOLOGY!
Then the old farmer at animal farm said fuck we need to keep these peasants working get rid of that...
some dark ages, enlightenments, empires, world wars and so on later corrupt governments still have us chasing mortgages and jobs rather than making a path to become self sufficient.
CORRUPT AS FUCK AND THEY ALL KNOW IT.
That's the thing about proper redistribution of wealth who does the dirty shit like take the bins out in a society like that...God Will....ahem...GOOD WILL 🙂.
Then someone else came along and said "I give you perpetual motion".... ladies and gentlemen....."the Antikythera mechanism"
WIND UP TECHNOLOGY!
Then the old farmer at animal farm said fuck we need to keep these peasants working get rid of that...
some dark ages, enlightenments, empires, world wars and so on later corrupt governments still have us chasing mortgages and jobs rather than making a path to become self sufficient.

Well once I was listening to Bob Marley's I Shot the Sheriff and had a revelation. I'd never really thought about what he meant in the song and assumed that the 'seed' references were ganja references. But it hit me that the seeds he was referring to were actually his ideas and messages.
Sheriff John Brown always hated me
For what I don't know
Every time that I plant a seed
He said, "Kill it before it grows"
He said, "Kill it before it grows", I say
I think it was his way for him to say that the Establishment was trying to silence him.
Here you go, that's as far as my philosophy goes!

Their are currently two sides to every person, good and evil meaning there are two voices in our heads too God and the devil. im schizophrenic and i know the difference between good and evil but it can get a bit blurry at times. God does evil remember that not just the devil and the devil does good whenever it forwards their plan. Dont be fooled though because though my mum beat me when i was a kid she still loves me. God is the same. Just remember through the hard times God is love.
Jesus believed in reincarnation just like budda but it was taken out the final bible. ive seen him in the flesh so i know its true but the question is how does it work.
well i saw him after finishing some super strong ammo so maybe the cannabis is connected, its definitely has something to do with miracles because i did my first miracle that same day.

humans see 1% of the light spectrum(leaving 99% undetected/unseen), thats all we know on a normal level. but our spirits level reachs beyond this universe going all the way to God's mansion.
i glimpsed jesus 3 years ago in 2018 walking over a bridge into a park in lewisham. i was too stoned to move more then my head but i did rescue myself from certain death using a blood flow miracle. believe it or not im telling the truth. i saw jesus in the flesh.
It's all swings and roundabouts, snakes and ladders, the things that don't count are the things that really matter.
As a society, why do we spend so much time preserving our past, instead of planning our future?
Without preserving history there would be no culture, no community, nothing to bond over, we’d just be people on an island living together with no past. As humans we only live for so long, without preserving our pasts in a few hundred years they’d be forgotten completely. By preserving our past we our able to plan our future by learning from past mistakes. I’m more hungover than stoned right now so sorry if my comment isn’t quite spiritual 😂

Are we just killing time until the world ends?
That may be more poignant. Civilizations come and go. The Earth will regen in very little time in the grand scheme of things.
It’s cliché…. but better to look at it as “making the most of time until the world ends!”

Why all the Space Forces?

Why all the Space Forces?
Forgive any inaccuracies as I'm doing this from memory, but I'd read that between US and UK, approx 7 billion had been allocated toward national space forces. Is this purely to protect local satellites from debris, or foreign missiles, or something else?
or something else bro, they just steal our money and feed us fiction...think about satallites. you fire a lump of metal the size of a school bus into 'space' where, they say, there is no atmosphere. the bus reaches a 'sweet spot' cos of 'gravity' and just stays there, in nothingness...its anti physics... look at the sky, day or night then look at this
http://www.stuffin.space/
and compare the two. something is missing, every fucking fake satallite ever / never launched. space is bollocks, noone ever got above low earth orbit. as you can see this subject properly annoys me. ha ha

Which strains boost creativity?

Which strains boost creativity?
Over the past month or so I've taken up acrylic painting. This has been since lockdown encouraged me to be a daily J smoker.
I wasn't previously artistic, so I think the weed has been causing this newfound creative surge. But as I largely smoke shake it's hard to identify if certain strains are causing this.
Has anyone else found bud makes them into artists?

full props to your selection but imho the good stuff always saves money just buy less and find another way to chill. good sativa is an investment in productivity and you can easily find it from the same vendor.
Was about to suggest this. It's perfect for creativity. Had a lid the first time I got some book of wisdom, and within 10 minutes I had an urge to start painting. Enjoy!
Looking forward to this one. Seems to be taking its time arriving though. Fingers crossed the postie will fetch it tomoz.

Fill in the gap! ...."I was so high _____________________"
I was so high I genuinely thought I was having a conversation with my cat.
A couple of nights a go I dipped a spliff in my tea after I'd just been eating biscuits lmao never had such a stoner moment before I don't think.
When I was at uni, my mates and I would use empty / nearly empty drinks cans as ashtrays for fags and joints. On more than one occasion I picked up the wrong can to drink from and got a mouthful of flat coke, ash and butts. Some stoners never learn.
I regularly put the wrong end of a spliff in my mouth. It's rarer, but sometimes I light it before noticing. A lovely drag of roach :(
Lol I was more worried about the Q of nugs. It was only a small jar so couldn't get my hands in there quick enough.
I was so high and we had cake on the table, I started using the cake to put in a joint as had weed in it 🤣🤣🤣🤣 man I was stoned
My first time i got high i started to vomit and was convinced i was turning into a Zombie.......
I put the cornflakes in the fridge and the milk in the cupboard lol
Damn at least i am not the only one to do that lmao

Embarking on a workshop and decking DIY build.

Embarking on a workshop and decking DIY build.
Anyone have any words of wisdom from their experiences doing it?
ground screws are good for easily creating a level base. check out the pre fab insulated steel buildings, they can be good cost effective way of getting a good structure. then you can clad it or paint to suit. :)
Some really good ideas there. Already got breezeblocks on order for the base to sit on.
I'm trying build a 4m x 2m shed/workshop on s budget.
6x2 base
4x2 frame
18mm OSB floor and roof
Price for the above is £660. Say 720 with roof felt and DPMC wrap.
So now I need a cheap way to clad it. Calculate it to 24m2. Any ideas?
2 walls are hidden against a fence so open to using sitting bog standard there and halving the area.

breezeblocks are ok, but you wil still have to level them. personally i would use dense concrete blocks or the ground screws, as they are quick, cheap and easy to achieve the same. you can then fix your 6x3 joists to em.
in terms of the cladding; the best i can suggest is Travis Perkins who do various shiplap options. might be worth talk to a local lumber yard to see if they any b stock they can do you for cheap.
and personally i would avoid roof felt at all costs. they ALL leak in the end. you could get a resin bonded roof done, which is literally watertight and will last 30 years. again, quick cheap and effective! felt is messy, not very good and labourious.

Could Elon Musk claim Mars?
by

Could Elon Musk claim Mars?
I know there's an old space agreement stopping certain Nations claiming any celestial bodies, but what about a Corporation or an individual?
The laws that prevent any nation claiming space or a celestial object indirectly apply to individuals and companies.
"Activities carried out in space must abide by the international law and the nations undergoing these said activities must accept responsibility for the governmental or non-governmental agency involved. Objects launched into space are subject to their nation of belonging, including people."
Which means that Elon Musk and any company effectively count as their nation of origin when it comes to their activities in space, making them bound by the same terms as a nation. If Elon launches in the US, he is treated as the US in space and on celestial bodies, and the US government are responsible for his actions.
So as it stands, no individual can claim anything in space, even if they get there themselves. That being said, most of the treaties and laws governing space were written when the idea of an individual or private company being able to reach Mars was ridiculous, so they could well change.

Great emergency comedown tip

Great emergency comedown tip
Earlier today I finished a job early, so went home, popped a few squares of MJs cannachoc and settled down. About an hour later the edibles were just getting warmed up when my better half returned and reminded me that the father in law was coming round for dinner. I knew I'd be peaking around the time he was due to arrive. I needed to come down fast. Shower didn't work. Drinking water barely quenchedy thirst.
I tried the internet and came across the following tip "Similar to lemons, there is a terpene in black pepper called beta-caryophyllene that can help you cope with the anxiety that comes with being too high. Beta-caryophyllene binds to the same cannabinoid receptors in the brain as THC, producing a calming effect on the mind and body.
Chewing on two or three black peppercorns — or smelling ground peppercorns — will block your THC receptors and help you come down quickly"
Omg, this really worked. within 5 mins id gone from trippin to chopping garlic.

It is! I honestly believe that everything in nature has its counterpart to balance things. A yin and Yang thing if you will.
lol I eat a lot of black pepper, need to cut it down, will b more high :D like for real doe, in ma home made peppercorn sauce I put like 20g of that shit per hob, plus fresh crushed on steak and broccoli. what about other peppers do they work the same? like cayenne or jalapeno? I eat a lot of that shit and smoke even more lol mb cutting on pepper will increase my stash lol
This is great intel Richy. I don't need it for me, I'd always rather just ride it out, but it's handy to know for others. Especially for those lucky unsuspecting family members who will dine with me tomorrow!
This post really made me smile, explains why I don’t like pepper, but maybe I should keep some in my pocket now lol
Amazing!
Amazing!
The other part of the article that I didn't cut and paste suggested lemon juice and zest do the same thing.
That’s good to remember I like lemon water and crave juice when smoking sometimes, but remembered vit c counteracts it too, wish I thought of this last time I accidentally made myself trip following my mct infused coffee before work!
Would've loved to ride it out rather than waste a good high. But he's a retired uni principal, he'd have been onto me in no time haha

Perhaps something cinammony, or a bit pig in blankety in taste?
Haha, love the idea of a pigs in blanket strain!
Not sure if grow it, but I'd be interested to try it!
I'm quite surprised there isn't a Christmas Cake strain for this very reason. I'm sure it would sell well over crimbo. Although I hate actual Christmas Cake.... ;)
Cheers BB

PS4 must try when high...
I downloaded a free trial for a game called Dreams. It's brilliant. Just had a smoke and jumped on. Found myself in these beautifully made worlds where you can play other ppls creations. I've just been running around a museum smashing things with a bat that I had to make sure guards didn't spot. Can't wait to see what's next.
I decided to buy the full game and was amazed at how much VR content there is. Dusted the old ps vr off. But some of these games send you a bit cross eyed.
