I think games are meant to get people hooked in numerous ways. It could be in game rewards, or gaining a certain in game status, achievements, etc, or it could be hormonal releases like dopamine, adrenaline, etc. I also think gaming is a form of escapism which appeals these days. I think...

Okay so it's now really starting to sound like a one man vendetta against, Valve-Steam. What happened? I've really enjoyed playing some games; Skyrim, GTAV, WD1&2 Legion, RD2, HZD, SofW, Days Gone and Steep, the most. I still play GTAV post missions because it's just a brilliant driving game...

I'm going to disagree with you there. I think it's fair enough to release a game in later progess of development as long as it's not a major issue like crashing continually or other major things that might make people ask for a refund or something like micro transactions. And that was one way...

Yes from what I've read the new improved batteries are expected late 2025/26 boosting the EV car range to over 600 miles. It seems to me that what's missing is a marketing trick> snappy, memorable, cool names. I think that's always been a big selling point with the old style motorbikes; Triumph...

Okay so this is super annoying but it is a parody of all those tv shows where they keep playing the same clips over and over again, essentially making ten minutes of content last a freakin hour. AARRGH! View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MFtl2XXnUc&ab_channel=JackGovier

Yes I kept all my biking gear just in case. The Guzzi was also getting too heavy for me at 550 Ibs! I figure by the time I buy one they will have longer battery life and speeds. I've beem a bit addicted to Days Gone game so was looking at getting a dirt bike like the Zero FX ZF or the E-Ride...

^That woke me up, screams and screaming guitars. I keep putting this on on Friday nights. It took me a while to realise I've got the double album on tape somewhere, The Doors Live at the Hollywood Bowl and Jim and the band at their peak. View...

Yes I'm still getting used to this Bluesound Node. I like it because I don't have to worry about battery drain. I asked the sales guy in the Hi Fi shop and he'd used one and had the app on his phone. It hasn't got great bluetooth range but I specifically asked him about connecting to two...

Yes I had to sell my old Moto Guzzi last year which I'd owned since 1987 and had slowly customised, mainly because garage prices are spiralling due to ease of stealing motorbikes. But I've been keeping an eye on all the new electric motorbikes, watching the YT reviews etc and I'm hoping to move...

Yes thanks, I've got a Razer Tartarus which is easy to rebind on, but I have a problem with GTAV when things get really hectic and if the F is where the E is it's easy to end up jumping out of the car.

Yes it was that link you've posted and it says don't repair or disassemble but that might be for other reasons like warranty and if you've seen the replacement batteries you have checked it out. I just dislike this idea that when a battery is end of life and it can be after 500 charges which...

I was going to cheekily ask you if you worked for Ubisoft:) If you are concerned from a political/sociological aspect about mass control and manipulation I wouldn't worry about the gaming industry, take a swipe at social media.

I've just been reading the components spec, just that sounds amazing never mind the audio output. There does seem to be some concerns about battery life but that may be of no concern depending on your usage, but my main concern with these devices is replacing the battery. I was just looking at...

I suppose it depends on what you think Steam is and what it's allowed to do to promote games and basically make money. I haven't really noticed what you are referring to and no offence but it sounds like you believe there's some big tech conspiracy to control the gaming industry which is...

I think what I've been doing is setting limits on what I'm prepared to pay, so at present that's been up to £300 for headphones and about £500 for a player. And also wondering if for each £100 I go above that am I actually getting a value increase in sound quality. I've still got a couple of...
