Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

The point I was trying to make was that mental instability quite often results in either a complete lack of reasoning, or extreme leaps of logic. I'm not convinced that applies here. I don't think you could say that any other politician in Trump's position would be planning on ending support for Ukr...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

I'm not yet convinced this guy is mentally unstable. From what information has been released so far, we know he has ties to Ukraine. Ukraine is managing to hold off Russia because of the aid they've received from the US and a number of European nations. The US ending support for Ukraine, as is likel...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

Two things: 1) Watch Trump somehow blame Europe for this. We know he's likely to just let Ukraine burn to the ground because there's no profit in helping them, and it's a "European war". 2) I'm honestly surprised that nobody's tried to kill him on his golf course before now. He spends most of his ti...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)

First Man I've not seen a film that as adequately captures the sense of wonder and drama of the space race since Apollo 13. This is a masterpiece of visual and sound design, and it absolutely nails the violence of aerospace exploration. There's a shot during the culmination of the film that honestl...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

I ended up listening to the debate replay while I worked today, and Trump really did come out with some corkers, that both Harris and even the debate moderators had to challenge him on - just think what the last ten years of US politics could have been like if that were the standard rather than the ...

Re: Playstation & Sony News/Discussion

It was always going to be, surely? The standard PS5 console still carries an RRP of close to £500 as far as I'm aware (the digital version, which I guess is the better comparison point, is cheaper than that), and they were never going to put out a "pro" version for fifty quid more. I don't think the...

Re: Currently Playing

I actually killed the first Rancor you come up against early on on the first attempt - they're not the worst non-unique enemy in the game, I think I had more trouble with the Mogu (the large, bipedal horned monsters that are obviously just recoloured Wampas). I still zoned into that two-Rancor fight...

Re: 40K Space Marine 2

Eurogamer are a little more positive. They push the fact that it works best in co-op, which is the entire reason I'm planning to buy it. https://www.eurogamer.net/warhammer-40000-space-marine-2-review Playing 40K: Darktide with Dave, Alex and Ian has made me really enjoy the setting.

Re: General Gaming News

The impression I got was that it was only temporarily dead, and they're going to keep at it. The one review I looked at for it said it was a pretty competent game, it was the character design they didn't like, which admittedly is a pretty big deal for a hero shooter. In other news, Bethesda ban Doom...

Re: General Gaming News

Outside XBox did a preview of Indiana Jones and the Wheel of Fortune, attempting to explain what it actually is . https://youtu.be/P4ttV2QcGZM?si=zXLB3ydAuEJmh5y4 The tl;dr of which is that this isn't really a genre that they've forced the Indy license into - it's not a shooter, it's not just a firs...

Re: Star Wars: Outlaws

I've had chance to read the EG review now, and it took this as a curiosity to play when it inevitably arrives on Gamepass to wanting to actively avoid it. It just sounds like everything I hate about open-world games, with only surface-level attention to the setting that could otherwise have won me o...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

I think at this point he has to just continue to lie in order to keep his own supporters loyal - the second he concedes that the rigged election stuff is all a complete fabrication, his spell is broken. The second the interview was over, I bet he was on Truth Social denouncing the Fake News Media wh...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

That little glance down at his hands is absolute *chefs kiss*. I've been following quite a bit of the US election coverage recently, and some of the stuff Trump is spouting now makes me wonder whether he's truly lost it, or whether I'm just not remembering how bad he was in 2020. Obama's talking abo...
