  • For the first poster, why is nurse Chapel on it?

  • Growing up I really wasn't a fan of sitting and reading a book. To me it would just be words on a page, and often I would have to reread the same sentence multiple times and eventually feel drowsy. I recall being sat in the school library during some mandated reading time, and borderline falling asleep.

    It wasn't until I was much older that I decided to give books another go. They are no longer words on a page to me, I now picture scenes with the characters. I don't know what changed it but I enjoy reading now, when I get the time. Maybe it was a change from it being almost a mandatory thing, to instead being my choice?

  • StS came out in early access and was a solid game with quite a lot of placeholders. I suspect StS2 will be a much more polished experience compared to that, and Megacrit has the track record of the first title to give confidence.

  • I'm glad i grabbed this wii fit balance board from the trash a decade ago, wow!

  • I don't know if it's still good, but when I had my headset I loved Synth Riders. At times I felt like I was really dancing. Some of the "experiences" were great too, there was a Muse one that was really well done!

  • I'm sure someone more experienced will say this is awful, but I found this video to be pretty handy to watch.

    Hope it helps!

  • What advice or tips do you have which sound like nonsense but really work?

    Jump

  • May have to try this next time! Normally I gulp lots of air until I can't anymore, then hold my breath until I can't, and breath out really slowly. It works but can be uncomfortable to do at times.

  • What's your pitch for a new pizza?

  • There was a contestant on the UK Apprentice show that did just that, and was apparently seeing success.

  • No Man's Sky's latest update is all about rubbish-flinging spacetrashpeople with gravity guns and interstellar trucks

    Jump

  • Feels like they've added some physics to the game and this patch is a tech demo of it. Not complaining given it's free!

  • Physics building game Besiege heads into space with The Broken Beyond expansion

  • I think No Mans Sky came out in 2016 and is still receiving free updates. I bought it dirt cheap and have got so many hours out of the free updates I'm beginning to feel a little level of guilt. I guess I'll pick up Light No Fire when it releases.

  • Monster Train 2 if you like card games. It's got a load of content and replay and they recently released a patch today to add more!

    Also been playing Expedition 33 and picked up Shredders yesterday, but have been streaming them from my PC as they look awful when trying to play natively.

    New patch and DLC for Monster Train tomorrow that I'm excited for. Slay the Spire 2 will have some solid competition for my time when it releases!

  • "Dragging energy costs down around the globe" - such a shame the end consumer in a UK household doesn't see that reduction of costs in their bills.

  • By working late it's not just the kids that are getting harmed but any co-workers.

    Had a colleague that used to work late and through his lunch, eventually the manager approached him and told him to stop. The guy said if he didn't do it the work would pile up. The manager told him that by working overtime he was making it look like the current team headcount was sufficient and that he couldn't get evidence there weren't enough people to meet demand. Guy stopped doing unpaid overtime and after a couple of months there was a new member of the team to ease the workload.

  • Steam Deck has hit a milestone with over 25,000 games rated Playable or Verified by Valve (7,518 Verified, 17,492 Playable), up from 20,000 in June 2025

    Jump

  • This is great news!

    I do feel like for some of these games being labeled as playable, by a lot of people's standards I don't think they would say they're enjoyable to play in the state they are presented.

    For example Expedition 33 is labeled as Steam Deck verified, but the quality is very poor, that I'm not sure I would be able to stand playing for long. Instead I've had to set up to stream from my PC.

    Still great news though, and I hope the steam deck is considered more in the future when games are being made.

  • Microsoft CEO warns that we must 'do something useful' with AI or they'll lose 'social permission' to burn electricity on it

    Jump

  • it is useful as a sort of better google, like for things that are documented but reading the documentation makes your head hurt so you can ask it to dumb it down to get the core concept and go from there

    I agree with this point so much. I'm probably a real thicko, and being able to use it to explain concepts in a different way or provide analogies has been so helpful for my learning.

    I hate the impact from use of AI, and I hope that we will see greater efficiencies in the near future so there is less resource consumption.

  • I thought the overall story has an interesting concept, with some cheesy writing in some bits, and some comedy littered in so they aren't taking themselves too seriously. Something that bothered me was the use of a current day wheelchair..

    This is set 1000+ years in the future where they can solve people being blind but you're telling me they can't even have an professor-X style floating chair at a minimum?!
