  • Ken Levine's Judas Could Slip Nearly Three More Years, Putting BioShock Successor Eleven Years Deep in Development

    Jump

  • BioShock Infinite took long enough and the finished product was significantly less interesting than the previews. This looks like it's going to take twice as long. I don't see that working out.

  • Half of UK adults say they spend less than three hours a week outside in nature

    Jump

  • That makes sense for me. Weekends are often consumed by catching up with various errands and chores, as well as hopefully at least something fun. During the week loads of us work full time. Sure, there's time in the evenings for some of the year, but for a decent chunk of it darkness sets in before work is over.

    Fitting in an hour of being in nature, three times per week? That's a big ask, I suspect.

  • How many of you use cash?

    Jump

  • That isn't how I approach budgeting at all, so it explains why I don't get it. I'm glad you have a system that works for you.The downvote suggest you'd rather I stop talking though so I'll leave it there.

  • How many of you use cash?

    Jump

  • I think I'd call that limiting spending rather than budgeting. Budgeting would involve keeping track of how much is spent on different things, projecting future spending, stuff like that.

  • How many of you use cash?

    Jump

  • Basically never. The occasional car boot sale. That's about it. Any cash I receive ends up sitting on a shelf as my wallet doesn't have a space for it. The notion of relying on cash for budgeting makes no sense to me.

    I'm not looking to get rid of cash, but it has no use case for me.Even the local teenager that mows my lawn takes bank transfers!

  • How many of you use cash?

    Jump

  • Good on you for asking! I hated having to deal with cash as a small business.

  • How many of you use cash?

    Jump

  • Handling cash costs about as much as handling card transactions. It always annoyed me when I was working at conventions and people would assume that my business was better off with cash. Cash was a huge pain in the arse.

  • What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ?

    Jump

  • Does the other person's reply not appear for you?

  • What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ?

    Jump

  • I don't think I've encountered a magic system that doesn't annoy me, unfortunately.

  • What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ?

    Jump

  • Basically anything focused on fantasy dungeon crawling. I spend my life indoors without enough daylight. Why would I want to do that but with even less light and more stuff trying to kill me?

  • What is a game you can’t understand why its so popular ?

    Jump

  • I can't tell if this is a joke comment or not. I don't know what the letters stand for and as such it could be about almost anything.

  • UK ‘built for climate that no longer exists’ and needs urgent changes to survive global heating, report warns

    Jump

  • It hasn't made much sense to have air-conditioning for the week a year where it'd make life a bit more comfortable. Our summers aren't that hot. London is probably awful given that it's all concrete and glass but the rest of the UK isn't quite so urbanised.

  • 60% of PC gamers have no plans to build a new PC in the next two years — AI pricing crunch on RAM and other components paralyze enthusiast market

    Jump

  • For me "too much" was a long time ago. The price of graphics cards went insane at some point and it stopped being worth it. The last time I bought a graphics card new was in 2009 and that cost me, adjusted for inflation, £220 (Why do I still have the receipt..?). It was an nVidia GTX 260 and at the time was a fairly decent midrange card. Looking at graphics card pricing now, uh, nope, that wouldn't buy me anything comparable - it looks like we're talking ~£380 for midrange stuff, so a ~70% increase in price.

    Whilst obviously the hardware is a lot more capable now than it was then, the amount of enjoyment I get out of gaming hasn't gone up. If anything I enjoy gaming less now than I did then, although that's more due to me getting older.

    I'm constantly baffled as to how anyone can justify the cost of a decent gaming PC these days.

  • How getting young people into sport could save the UK millions

    Jump

  • A great many of us spent our childhoods with terrible associations with sport. To this day I dislike it, despite not wanting to.

    I'm hoping I can make it more fun for my daughter so she can walk a different path.

  • What gaming console you own/owned disappointed you the most and why ?

    Jump

  • The PSP was both amazing and awful. So much squandered potential. So few developers did anything cool with it.

  • Daemon

    Jump

  • They appear in Warhammer a fair bit.

  • What was the last physical retail store game purchase you've made?

    Jump

  • Until recently I was buying second hand games for my Xbox One. Then I got a Steam Deck and that was that.

  • Nintendo is raising the price of the Switch 2, blaming 'market conditions'

    Jump

  • What about Starfox 2?

  • What are your feel-good games?

    Jump

  • I'm perhaps the outlier in that I felt like San Andreas felt like they'd thrown shit at the wall to see what would stick. Most of the extra mechanics didn't land for me at all and I was pleased to see them gone.

    Finally painted my Brian Nelson Snikrot. Could it be better? Probably, but I had fun with it and that'll do.
