Honestly, can’t remember the last time I queued. That said, maybe it’s a regional problem.

I got a few nice ones last night, too! Need to process them a bit maybe, but pretty nice even straight from the camera!

Others have recommended other file explorers, but I use FX and rather like it.

I suspect he means less “too much experience” and more “not wanting to pay his desired salary”, though I may be mistaken.

Fair enough!

Honestly, though - “method or mechanic”, do you think palworld is a pretty blatant copy of Pokémon or not? Like, most of it. Not just a single bit.

I missed this - what happened? (Searching now)

Based on that, then, do you think that the folk complaining about wokeness are always the vocal minority and the reason you see it far more in unpopular games is that there’s not a higher ratio of positive reviews to hide the assholes?

100% agree, other than the ratio of countries that can legitimately create a PSN account (and/or buy the game).

Otherwise, seems just like the Games For Windows live stuff that people didn’t love but certainly didn’t care this much about.

E.g. Fallout 3, pre-goty.

Out of interest, have you seen hbomberguy’s recent video on plagiarism in YouTube and the section on AVGN?

Yes, and?

Trying to make money from games with long term support is a tricky thing that companies keep trying to do - it can lead to season passes, microtransactions, deluxe/supporter editions, buyable maps and expansions - or stuff like this.

Companies try to get money to support game, more news at eleven…

I got a first generation badgy, and it had an issue that prevented it working with the battery.

Sqfmi said they’d sent out a replacement part to fix it, but never got back to me.

I love the ideas they have, but I don’t trust them.

I know the Corsair 800D used to have these. This looks different, but might be in the same line.

Another vote for Binging with Babish - though my interest waned when he started going from “hey, I could try making that!” to episodes requiring ever more complex and expensive niche machines (e.g. dehydrators), I completely lost interest around the time he started doing the “going round buying folk things” series. Never really got back into it, unsubscribed after a while.

Bon Appetit was great, then everything happened, many folk changed (for good reason) and it just lost the appeal for me. I’ve watched some of the spun off channels, but some of the appeal for me was the interactions.

I used to religiously watch everything Shut Up and Sit Down put out, but found myself watching less and less over the last few years - turns out, they changed primary content creators and editor (if I understand correctly) around that time, and announced that they did so recently. Still watch occasionally, but it’s a very subtly different style that hits less reliably for me. May also be related to me managing to play fewer boardgames, lately.

Apologies, I thought I’d seen 60 seconds but since looking I’ve found a bunch of guesses from “every few” to numbers with nothing that looks like a source in headlines.

Going to the source, I found:

are taken every five seconds while content on the screen is different from the previous snapshot.

Should have searched first, sorry!

Though this seems like a reasonably healthy take, it’s another thing that makes me think I don’t need to wonder about going back for The Final Shape.

I suspect you’d have a hard time training anyone to use software based on (say) a screenshot every sixty seconds. May be wrong.

When the founders all left, and/or Eurogamer acquired it (related) and started pushing the same videos/rubbish guides designed for SEO optimization rather than interesting articles written with passion.

Had to look it up, but “most probably” built between AD 1000–1050. Love that it’s old enough that we’re not entirely sure…

Well, okay - here’s my reasoning:

I have a PC and a PS5.

If the game is on PC, I would prefer to play it there. It is a competitor, in my household (I’d argue elsewhere, too, but I guess that’s an opinion). It is a very useful distinction for me.

There are few games I can only get on my PS5, but that low number does sometimes make me ask why I have a PS5. It is useful to distinguish between the games I can only play on PS5, and those I could instead play on PC, for that reason.

I hugely prefer this world in which Sony releases for my preferred platform, but that doesn’t mean it’s sensible to say that PC isn’t a competitor to consoles and bury your head in the sand because it “devalue[s] pro-consumer behaviour”.
