Re: General TV News

I tried reading it but didn’t get far, partly because I couldn’t keep track of all the Chinese names and therefore who was who. It’s a terrible excuse, but for some of the names I couldn’t even form a consistent internal pronunciation (doubtless completely wrong anyway). I’m hoping that hearing the ...

Re: Currently Playing

It's the only RPG I can recall playing where reaching a new level elicits a sigh rather than a little thrill of excitement. Yes, 100%! I tried my best to figure out what would be best for each character, but ultimately I ended up just picking whatever sounded plausibly useful, even though I'd littl...

Re: Currently Playing

Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader That was a fun (and exhausting) 80 hours, and I'm left with mixed feelings. First, I should say that I know basically nothing about Warhammer, so I went into the setting blind and wasn't quite prepared for the extent of how grimdark it is. I've spent much of my Christmas...

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

I’d love to know how many of the rioters filmed footage that landed them (and others) in prison. Also the comments nailed it by pointing out that they were fighting to elect a man whose government wrecked their lives, which they’re actively ranting about during the riot. :lol: Kudos to the security ...

Re: I Just Watched (Films)

Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning: Part One: So: Many: Colons The best and worst thing I can say about it is that it’s yet another Mission: Impossible film. I’ve a soft spot for them - the only great one is the first film, and each sequel is more forgettable than the last, but they’re all enterta...

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

Nah, they wouldnt add it to stuff you paid for, that would be insane. I agree it would be insane, but it's not out of the realm of possibility. Only a few weeks ago, films bought via the Playstation store were going to be removed from users' libraries until they did a last minute U-turn after massi...

Re: The Room 101 thread - for things you hate or just having a bloody good moan

I can’t find confirmation anywhere if it applies to purchased content on Prime too. I’ve got a few TV shows and films on there, and if they think they can tarnish them with adverts then I’m going to go full Karen on them. EDIT - I've just queried it with Amazon and they say it will only apply to 'fr...

About as likely as either of those states banning guns.
Texas, sure, but bear in mind that Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida is a Republican presidential candidate. He has a vested interest in taking Trump off the ballot.

Re: Trump: Impeach is the new Orange

I think Florida and Texas could be ones to watch, as they’re two of the Big Four electoral college states (the other two being New York and California, but they haven’t voted Republican since the 80s). If either of those ban him from running, he’s toast.

Elder Scrolls Online? Yeah, different engine which has none of the physics or object tracking that Creation has.

Re: Starfield has a release date

They don’t stop developing, they ramp up team size. That's not a quick solution, though. Speaking from experience, simply upping the size of a development team does not typically increase development speed for maybe 2 years. And especially if you're changing the engine, which is what everything els...

Re: Starfield has a release date

The Creation engine is the problem, but the feasibility of replacing it is arguably a bigger problem. It took them several years to improve the engine for Starfield, so they could be looking at 5 to 10 years to develop a new one from scratch that does everything Creation does, performs well, offers ...
