My wife’s family used to mop the walls as part of cleaning.

It wasn’t until she moved out that she twigged that non-smokers don’t have to do that.

We’d all put on our scruffiest clothes before visiting my granddad, because they’d be going straight into the washing machine the second we got back. No wonder he kept giving us money, he probably thought we were poor as dirt.

I did try that using Docker on Windows but it was an unmitigated hellscape. Just use the installers if you’re using Windows for it.

That’s why we use Radar, etc, so we don’t have to use those sites.

If you do visit them, make sure you’re ad-blockered up the wazoo.

I only stuck with Odyssey for the legendary monster fights.

The problem with these games is you see 95% of the gameplay in the first couple of hours.

And then there’s 100 more of them.

I really like Black Flag because it had the least amount of Assassins Creed gameplay in it.

That option was a lifesaver. I don’t know why the game decides halfway through to have hard combat because that’s not the appeal of the game at all.

I don’t even play online. I’m just there for the monthly games.

Honestly don’t know what they thought was going to happen. They’ve had some misfires lately with the PS5 Pro not being needed at all (the PS5 is a decent bit of kit, and certainly capable of handling everything this gen can throw at it), selling a remote access tablet/controller that doesn’t connect to their own cloud service, and even they’ve stopped talking about Concord.

Sorry, best we can do is still be in early access and already trying to sell the DLC.

They’re speakers, they’re supposed to be loud.

I started using subtitles years ago, and now I can barely hear without them.

I was just sick of looking through several apps to see if I had access to something.

Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks were pretty cool. I played both with the stylus because the DS control pad is tiny as fuck, literally painful to use for more than a few minutes.

Same with the Layton games.

That would just be men’s sports, which in fairness is all most people seem to care about anyway…

Gremlins 2. Not sure any other movie quote captures the absolute cocaine fuelled Hollywood of the early 90s.

There’s also a terrible John Leguizamo movie called The Pest, that I’m genuinely amazed didn’t end his career right there. The wife was suprised I hadn’t seen it, and as we started she just went “you’re going to hate it”.

She was not wrong.

I only did that once. It was R-Type.

I got it back home and it wouldn’t load. My parents were not in the mood to drive all the way back for the sake of £2.99 of my pocket money.

I eventually palmed it off on Toys R Us when I noticed their receipts just said “Game”. I got another copy. That wouldn’t load either.

For a different platform entirely, but as a Spectrum owner I was used to that.

Looking at videos of other versions, it looks suspiciously like they outsourced the Spectrum version to somebody else, and only vaguely described it.

The box:

The game:

No, no, they don’t mean me! They mean all the people that don’t deserve it!

If it’s not in Vice City, I don’t want to hear it.

Think of all that lovely data and tracking you can slurp up when unconstrained by the browser sandbox.

Running speedometer 3.0 gives me 7.68 for FF and 10.4 for Chrome.

That’s not an enormous difference and in real life usage the ads and cookie banner bullshit I can’t block more than makes up for it.
