Wow, I can’t believe Nintendo teamed up with Google for their new technology. I wonder if Nintendo could be reached for comment about this?

Serious day today.
My partner’s Dad is going in for a massive operation where there’s: 10-20% chance he dies on the table, 40% chance they open him up and can’t do the surgery. Then if it goes well, he’s in high dependency for 7-10 days.

Came across a new text scam that almost got me. Text saying, “it’s Dad, can you add my new number”. Explains that he dropped his phone in the toilet and waiting for his sim to transfer over.
Then later said because it’s a new phone, his bank apps aren’t authorised yet. Asks if I can transfer money

The Division Definitive Edition is just a rerelease to replace the old Gold Edition. It is the same game with all DLC bundled. No improvements, enhancements, it’s not a remaster.
It’s because the mobile game is coming out soon and it’s to anticipate increased consumer interest

The word dramatic is doing serious heavy lifting here. It’s just a skinny iPhone.
Apple bet big on a dramatic redesign of its iPhone last year, the biggest shakeup to its flagship smartphone in nearly a decade. But the slimmer iPhone Air hasn’t seemed to resonate with buyers. https://cnn.it/4a2bpsb

After seeing Fragpunk's player base collapse, I don't trust or take the gaming community's opinion seriously anymore. They don't know what they want but what they don't want is anything that's different or interesting. They just want to grind to fill up progression bars.

Make no mistake, this is the real end goal the UK Government wants. The law is poorly thought out and expensive to stick to. Small sites block, big sites pay or give up. Then all that’s left are unregulated sites which is way worse but overall usage drops #ukpolitics

It’s a shame that Redream is the best Dreamcast emulator but it isn’t compatible with @retroachievements.org. Obviously it’s not RA’s fault, it’s just a shame that its performance or achievements not both.

I’ve played and enjoyed so many failed live service games. Yet Highguard looks so uninspiring that I’m not even tempted to try it. So, it will either last for years or not long at all. There’s no middle ground.

Finally finished Far Cry 5 and I’m so annoyed. I can’t believe how cowardly the story is. The core game is pretty good in that Far Cry way though the structure is oppressive in its design.
But the story is offensive in how much it does not say say anything out of fear. 6/10
