I could be way off the mark as to Sony's intentions, but I'd have thought it'd be of more use to them as a QA / testing tool than as something gamers would use. Automated testing is standard in software development these days, and an AI bot that can test substantially more permeatations of playing a...

Quite. I did throw the "I am not a bank" line at them, but it's obvious that energy companies are aggressively abusing the system to force customers into building up unnecessary credit.

On the plus side, my current PC (which I built in 2023) is still going strong and I have no upgrade plans in the foreseeable future. Things like DLSS will hopefully extend it's viability longer than previous PCs, and the fact that the bleeding edge of graphics is all around ray tracing means that us...

This is turning into a proper debacle. I've got them to reduce the DD payments back to where they were, but they're still refusing the £100 credit refund despite my legal right to it and their failure to provide any reasonable grounds on which to deny it. They claimed (as expected) that it's so I do...

It'd be good to see a Digital Foundry analysis of them, but I think Chris is right that VRAM is going to be the problem regardless of whether graphics are handled by the CPU or a dedicated GPU. Faster memory is encouraging, though. The future of graphics cards looks rocky at best, and integrated gra...

That'll be the ghoul Miller, absolute psychopath. That's him. https://www.axios.com/2026/01/06/stephen-miller-greenland-europe-nato Earlier, when discussing Venezuela in the same interview, Miller said, "we live in a world, in the real world, Jake, that is governed by strength, that is governed by ...

This may be nonsense, but aren't resource extraction efforts heavily controlled inside the arctic circle? I wouldn't be surprised if Denmark can't, or won't do it for ecological reasons. That's the most plausible explanation I've seen. I guess if they leased some form of mining to the US, Trump wou...

I still don’t understand why Denmark aren’t treating this as an opportunity to give Trump what he claims he wants whilst rinsing him of cash. He needs it for national security? Fine, give him unlimited basing rights with hefty rent costs, so long as he respects Danish sovereignty and flies the Danis...

I left it at £130 a month and emailed them, explaining the situation and asking for it to be manually reviewed and set as I would like, including the refund. Instead, I got an automated response telling me my DD has been set to £162 (no mention of a refund). :shock: What the actual fuck? "We have a...

OVO Energy are taking the piss, though I expect most of the energy companies are doing similar. I reviewed my combined usage for 2025 (£80 a month on average) and my direct debit (£130 a month) and noted that I'm £200 in credit. Since I'm paying 62.5% extra a month than I need to and am well in cred...

For me, Obsidian has the same issue as modern-day Bioware, trading on a name they no longer qualify for, as all the talent that earned them their reputation has left. I don't think that's as true for Obsidian as it is for Bioware, as Obsidian still have the likes of Josh Sawyer, Tim Cain and Feargu...

I finished The Outer Worlds 2 yesterday. OW1 took me a couple of attempts to enjoy, and ultimately I thought it was a good game bordering on mediocre. OW2 is a mediocre game bordering on good. It has a similar scope and gameplay and a mostly similar tone, but there is one key difference that makes i...

One can only imagine how many international laws have been broken with this, yet world leaders are notably silent. I guess because they know if they show a peep of disapproval then they'll have tarrifs whacked on them. Starmer's response is little more than "we didn't do it". Remember when the world...

On a train with a failing horn that sounds like a sad trumpet every time it honks, and like a child I'm thoroughly amused by it.

I watch it every year. No matter how many times I’ve seen it, it’s still funny and uplifting.
