Also, because the conversations have to be so exposition heavy to drop all the relevant hints, it makes some exchanges seem soap-opera-like and absurd. I love it.

Can’t remember the specific one but probably one of the Dizzy the egg games for the Spectrum.

We must be reaching a plateau in terms of generational leaps in between consoles. Though I love the PS5 it’s not a huge jump from PS4, just slightly better graphics and better frame rates. As things stand, I can’t see a need to upgrade for years. PS5 it’s only 6 years old. It’s easily got another 6, maybe 10 years in it.

Since the Sega MegaDrive, I’ve always been a console kid.

Completely agree. It’s a very immersion breaking move. Looking at you, Cyberpunk.

It’s not good with all the bollocks they’re currently doing but wait until the current PM hands the next election to Nigel Farage and Reform (Republican-lite). It will get a lot worse then.

“So, I’m going to root for American athletes, and I think part of that is people who identify themselves as Americans. That’s who I’m rooting for this Olympics.”

So he’s saying you can choose how to identify…?

So they were just… following orders?

He’s openly been taking roids and testosterone for years.

Assassinations aside, Hitman has loads of ways to mess with people.

That’s Numberwang

Shaun Murray was a young, naive man, who was given a ton of exposure/press and (clearly) zero guidance on how to navigate that. It seems to me, he got completely swept up in all the hype of it all and didn’t have enough experience to manage his own mouth. They clearly wanted to include everything they ended up including but reality rarely works out like that.

All the salty “but he lied” comments seem very unfair to me.

Meanwhile few people say CD Projekt Red “lied” when they released a (clearly unfinished) “finished” version of Cyberpunk 2077. They updated it and everyone moved on praising the DLC.

Even now, ten years on, even on little ol’ Lemmy, there are many comments about how Hello Games “lied” and the fans didn’t get what they were “promised”. Wild.

Amazing!

I got a second hand Toyota Corolla last year, '22 reg. Everything has a physical button. It’s got a touchscreen but I rarely use it and doesn’t connect to the internet.

With headphones.

The only EA franchise I’ve cared about in the last 15 years was Mirrors Edge. Would love another but I’ve long given up hope on that.

I Dream Of Geney

Well I for one am looking forward to both not buying and not playing GTA6.
