While we’re on a delivery rant, Amazon’s tracking system seems to have gone completely to pot in the last few weeks. I’ve had a few deliveries and the delivery time slot has been completely wrong on all of them, and if the map appears when they’re 8 stops away (not a guarantee, apparently), it’ll sh...

I'm 39 and my beard has enough white that soon I'll be able to pass for a dishevelled, misanthropic Santa.

I'm assuming no game today, but I'll be available if there's a last minute change.

I don't actually use Whatsapp but I'll cave and install it if it's easier for everyone.

Bear in mind that Star Citizen is a PC exclusive because, according to its developers, they couldn't put it on consoles even if they wanted to. On the other hand, Starfield had to work on a Series S. The Creation engine does need replacing from scratch, but I don't think you can really compare Bethe...

On a personal note there are things I like about Starfield but I didn't play a huge amount as I think I've started to tire of the Bethesda style of storytelling. Starfield is the first Bethesda game where I've not enjoyed the story, which for me is why it's not as compelling as their previous games...

I’d guess it’s still there in the form of the Florida Man meme being milked every which way.

Indiana Jones & the Dial of Destiny Nowhere near as bad as I was expecting, not even awful if I'm honest. Agreed. I think it's better in most ways than Crystal Skull, although it was mainly Shia Lebeouf I couldn't stand in that one. Dial is... okay. It's a decent action adventure and a dubious Indi...

Todd Howard absolutely had a thematic vision for Starfield which he's talked about quite a lot, that of "beautiful desolation", and that's what he's tried to get Bethesda to deliver. Whilst I'm sure there is a chance that is true, by and large I think Todd Howard is full of shit. It would not surpr...

I'm very much of the view that you should never voice disagreement with someone who is fairly criticising your creative endeavours. If the criticism is factually wrong or just unconstructive abuse, by all means have at 'em, but as a creator you don't get to tell your audience what they like and what...

Anything but Friday for me.

The general gist of the quest was "deal with the giant", which... yeah... it's dealt with. :lol: Worth noting, though, that you took the job from Manfred Barrowfoot, who disapproved of Earl Corrin wanting you to just outright kill the giant on the basis that he had never shown any signs of violence ...

From the little I know of him, he was instrumental in prolonging the Vietnam war (he sabotaged LBJ's peace talks by defecting to Nixon's election campaign and giving him intel on the talks) and was the brains behind carpet bombing Cambodia and North Vietnam. He also once said that if not for his acc...

They've already tried it once before. It went badly, to the surprise of nobody. I think there's enough apathy that it might get pushed through now and become normalised.

Add Alistair Darling to the mix.

It’s definitely frequency for me, particularly with the TV shows. I enjoyed Loki season 1 and will probably enjoy season 2, but I’ve not remotely given thought yet to when I’m going to watch it. There are several other Marvel shows which I’m interested in that I doubt I’ll ever get round to at this ...
