    I don't think I've ever seen a two liter soda bottle here before. Though the one liter cherry coke zero got replaced with a 1.5 liter version.

    Bethesda made an oopsie...again.

    The next gen update was planned for 2023 and had been delayed to 2024, so it's not like it just appeared out of the blue with no warning whatsoever. I don't think it could've been easily avoided unless Bethesda delayed the release of the patch by weeks or even months, as it seems it's going to...

    Bethesda made an oopsie...again.

    I honestly don't think Bethesda screwed up here. The Fallout: London developers knew about the update before they released, so they could push the release back until the mods they depend on are updated. Which is what they would have done if they knew about the update earlier anyway. And from...

    A game you wanted to like but you just couldn't?

    I agree, 8 is a pretty terrible game. Especially if you know how the game works, as it's very easy (but very tedious) to break the game and get way too OP. If you don't know how the game works however, you risk overleveling and getting stuck struggling against the level scaled enemies.

    It kind of sounds like he had his PC put together for him by someone who charged him way more than the components are worth while telling him not to worry about the price because he could resell them for that same price in the future.

    I've been playing the demo/early build of Shogun Showdown at itch.io. It's a pretty simple TBS game with a little bit of roguelite progression, though in the early build it's limited to unlocking a couple extra characters that play slightly different and a bunch of powers you unlock within 2-3...

    It's one of those cases where realism should make place for fun. Unless you have a good reason for why swimming should be significantly slower, it's just annoying when you swim at the pace of a snail.

    Every time I've started a MMO I will get the idea to do something similar, then quit playing well before I have enough money or resources to actually do something like that. Also I don't like interacting with strangers.

    Are there any DS games you would recommend? Im not sure I would be able to play a PC game on an emulated DS, that sounds like it would get annoying very fast. There's a couple more decent games I've found, but I can only play the same game for so long before I get bored of it.

    I have played quite a lot of emulated games on my phone. It helps that Gameboy and DS games were made for small screens, but there's not all that many of them I actually like playing.

    Slay the Spire is high on my list of games I want to play and it seems like it would be a perfect game to play on a phone, but I've read multiple times that the performance is underwhelming. I've played quite a lot of games on my phone, but the small screen and the touch screen controls just...

    I really disliked Peter Capaldi at first, but he has some really great episodes. The episode "Heaven Sent" in particular is really good and "Fatality Index" has one of my favourite Doctor Who moments. I have only seen 2 or 3 episodes of the one after Capaldi and didn't really care for those...

    Have you had any side effects from games.

    I've only had that if I'm very tired. My brother however went through a period of playing Mario Kart: Double Dash time trials a lot and would start thinking about the best way to drift through corners while biking to school.

    They pointed out that callous area during my computer science degree as a way to spot whether someone uses a computer a lot.

    There's a good chance they normalize the texts they feed into the algorithm, but it's also possible the sheer amount of text would be enough for the algorithm to ignore the occasional misspelling. I had to write my signature on a touchscreen recently and I failed three times in a row, then...
