Let's see how the community responds.

Well it's up to Mixed on Steam (from Overwhelmingly Negative lol), and looking at some user reviews seems like it's made a big difference.

My wife is a habitual phone-scroller while watching TV and it drives me crazy. It's the constant questions about what's happening, who people are etc, and heaven forbid if I leave the room for a few moments and come back and try to rely on her to tell me what I missed -_-

So remember that game trailer at the end of the Game Awards that everyone was dunking on... well, the game just released and... things have turned a bit ugly:

Just had an eye test and everything’s fine, but they put in some pupil dilating eyedrops that last about 6 hours and now I can’t see shit. :lol: Stumbling home, there was a woman walking towards me in bright white trousers and they were blinding. Typing this wearing sunglasses indoors like I’m one ...

No thanks. I'm happy to vote with my wallet and not support an organisation that has mandated AI use. Contrary to that, the Hooded Horse CEO has come out and said none of the games they publish will use AI in any form, so it's certainly possible and I'll continue to support their games. Which, hones...

Anything published by Microsoft is going to have AI crowbarred into it at every opportunity, so will be a skip for me. I wouldn't put it past them, but I didn't see anything to suggest there'd be AI shoehorned into Fable. I thought it looked pretty great. It's a business-wide mandate and devs/studi...

No Country For Old Men is worth watching I've seen NCFOM and Buster Scrubbs, just nothing in between ...

Last night, randomly browsing Netflix looking for a decent film, ending up on The Life of Chuck , and really enjoyed it! Not entirely sure why I'd never heard of it before, written by Stephen King and directed by Mike Flanagan, which would usually put it immediately on my radar. Didn't really know w...

Well... coming from a family of teachers I can say that the National Curriculum is often only as good as the person supposedly teaching it. My mum once had to correct another teacher who told her class that the moon gives off its own light.

I shouldn't laugh, but...

Ah... I guess I'd naively assumed it was part of the national curriculum (it should be!) and would be similarly taught across the board. Oops

I’m worried about the total lack of practical online safety taught to children by both parents and schools I'd like to respond just to this part to say that my kids' schools have definitely taught lessons around online safety - don't share personal details online, don't post pictures of yourselves ...

I love this quote:

"That's when they made us play Godus for three hours straight. It was our choice when to get up and stop playing, but I didn't want to seem rude."
