Third. Love my roomba, works well to keep the dog hair to a minimum. We’ve also got a Shark which is also great. Both were quite expensive but I’d say worth it. I love not having to hoover regularly but having the shark for spot jobs and upstairs now and then really helps too.

Ooo ouch, you might beat the Helldivers 2 chap for fastest death in the thread.

Plus the lake District is like the most beautiful place in the UK so you’ll have nice scenery whilst you grow weird plants.

I think you may have the fastest death in this thread. Average lifespan is what a couple minutes after launch tops?

I was playing Rogue Trader so unless I get to take over one of the PCs I’m pretty screwed. The 40k universe is not a friendly place. Even if I take over one of the party characters I’d probably still end up dead in some awful way. My character was a psycher so that’s never a good idea if you want to remain demon free.

Genuinely my favourite gaming moment. Nothing before or since from the medium has made me feel as much as that sequence. It’s just fantastic. If you game at all you need to try it.

Thanks not sure if it was the dyslexia or the autocorrect which got me that time.

I think that’s maybe a bit harsh compared to a lot of the games mentioned here. Witcher 1 definitely has a lot of problems compared to 2 and 3 but it had a lot going for it as well. Sure the combat was broken as hell once you got all the spinning moves and it was super sexist with the women as trading cards thing. But the story and world building were still fun and Geralt was well characterised. It’s not a great game but it did well enough to get them the sequels. Definitely nowhere near the worst game I’ve played.

And party on dude! I came here to say this. It’s such an easy tenant to live by. The world would be a better place if everyone really took it to heat.

You have made a solid impulse buy. I love my steam deck as does my wife. If you get a dock you can also use it as a regular laptop too.

Oh god the handover after your first long drive into VR is something else. Nothing felt real for me for a good few hours. Super weird experience.

Damn 1/3rd scale. So like 1-2 foot tall? Fair play. Nier Automata was one of my favourite gaming experiences, so many feels. I love the end sequence more than about any other gaming moment.

It’s very similar but nowhere near as good. I got it for free on playstation a while back and stopped playing it to go back and play the dead space remake again.

Talk to your Dr again. Antifungal tablets have a not insignificant chance of messing with your liver, ie permanent damage so you should avoid them if you can.

It’s really dark, graphically violent, a bit (possibly outright) rapey, it’s about as far away from the light-hearted exploration and making friends of Pokémon as possible.

Don’t be a dick, that’s really not a helpful recommendation.

God yes, I got the most recent Destiny update free from PS plus recently and thought what the hell I’ll give it a go. The onboarding process was atrocious, very little explanation for anything at all just assumes you know who all the people are and are keeping up with the lore. Virtually no tutorial. I turned it off again after 5 minutes.

Yes I’m theory but it’s very difficult / unlikely to happen.

My main issue with games as a whole currently is that they often don’t respect my time. J-RPGs are probably the worst genre for that with the expectation of grinding being baked in. Take persona 5, I loved the style and the characters were engaging but the gameplay was very repetitive and grindy. I didn’t feel like I was making progress. After I beat the first dungeon I felt like I’d seen everything the game had to offer and turned it off.

I enjoy western RPGs more because they often (not always) respect my time better. I replayed Dragon age Inquisition recently and that game was right on the borderline of not respecting my time. I played it way closer to release and burned out by spending 40 hours in the starting area doing fetch quests. On this play through I focused on the story and only did side quests I found interesting. It was much better but still right on the limit of wasting my time for a decent chunk of it’s runtime.

Max Power Racing on the PS1. Surprisingly good fun. Plus I had to get it out of the way before I played Crash Bandicoot and Tomb Raider.
