    Star Trek: Infinite

    Nice! I remember dipping my toe into it in its early days, so glad to hear it's been fleshed out. Will probably give it another try once I grow bored of ST: Infinite. As I said, simplicity is a bit of a higher priority for me atm, but glad there's a rich and complex option out there also

    Star Trek: Infinite

    Bought this but haven't had a chance to deep dive into it. This seems to be a reasonable review / overview of the game: The gist I'm getting is that is probably better to pick it up on sale, unless you've a big trekkie fan. I must admit that the dumbing down of mechanics compared to...

    Richard Osman - The Thursday Murder Club

    I started the first one, and didn't quite grab me in the first couple of chapters, so I moved on. I'll give it another try when I have time but it's not much preferred genre. I think I can see how it's a good example of a murder mystery type story, but it's not quite resonating with me yet.

    The Writing Thread - Post Shit You've Written (And Criticize What's Posted)

    absolutely! I'm a big proponent of a write specifying what they want / expect from alpha / beta readers. I used to drive my professors nuts since they were all like 'the writing has to stand on it's own'. Bullshit, I say. sure, the final writing yes, but not when you're learning or developing a...

    The Equalizer 3 (2023)

    binged the first time and watched this one. Enjoyed it. As said, better than the second, probably on par with the first. I don't get the too long comments, since it's the shortest of the 3 movies, and gets to the action far quicker than them. It's pretty much part of the tone / style of the...

    Cyberpunk 2077

    Started up a new game and all but Solo and Engineer are already maxed. Kinda glad I don't need to jump through hopes leveling everything up, but the ones I do have to aren't the sort of gameplay I was wanted. Playing on Hard so far and there's very little challenge. Just starting the heist...

    The Equalizer 3 (2023)

    I was already planning to see this since I'm a big fan of the first ones, but also I was in Positano on the Amalfi coast a week or so ago, where it turns out Denzel was holidaying on a 3 story high yatch. Friends got to meet with and stuff and said he was pretty cool in person. Given it's also...

    Soccer 2022–2023 (EPL, La Liga, etc)

    Our flight landed in Paris and we decided to stay here two nights for jet lag adjustment rather than sprinting to Birmingham or London. Turns out I coped food poisoning somewhere along the way so been throwing up and pissing out my arses for the last 12 hours. Settled long enough to watch...

    Soccer 2022–2023 (EPL, La Liga, etc)

    Ended up giving up on trying to go to the game. Too expensive for the tickets and too much logistical changes. So spending extra time in Paris. Will watch the game at an Irish here. Hopefully it has a good enough atmosphere

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I pretty much empty every vendor of ammo but it never seems to be of the type I use more of. Not really an issue since I have enough weapons I rotate through so I never actually run out, just seems strange to have a whole outpost / manufacturing system in the game that can't make more of the...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    It's mind boggling that you can't manufacture ammo, probably the main thing you would want to have a steady and reliable supply of in this game. And weapons / suits too for that matter, rather than just mods. It shits me that I want to try out a certain play style, whether it's melee or sniper...

    Not sure if it's true but I find it funny that I actually beleive it could be.

    Star Trek: Infinite

    Theme alone in a grand strategy game makes it a buy for me. Looks like it's more or less just a reskin of Stellaris, which is a tad disappointing but it doesn't appear to be overly expensive either, while being more developed than a mod would be. One thing I like is starting in an existing...

    I remember crafting providing significantly better gear that it was hard not to incorporate it into my build.

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I can't work out my play time on gamepass, but I'm getting close to the end I think, rushing the msq now, so I can't say I haven't gotten my money's worth. I do think I was more engages and hooked by BG3. I probably could have waited for the full release of this but I'm going to have less free...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    https://steamcommunity.com/app/1716740/discussions/0/3824173464656720921/ fix for the pausing when alt tabbed out of focus. Should significantly improve my experience of the game!

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I was looking forward to being a range/ shooter type RPG instead of the predominately melee based one, like in skyrim, etc. So naturally I find a legendary melee weapon early on...

    Starfield - Fallout fallout that isn't ES6

    I'd forgotten how shit Bethesda can be at QOL stuff. So many things are just so much more annoying and obtuse to be than they should be. Does anyone know if there's any way to disable pause on loss of window focus? That ones really starting to shit me

    Cyberpunk 2077

    What were even the serious issues? I played through it fine on release and enjoyed the fuck out of it. Certainly wasn't perfect, and had bugs, but no worse than any other 'aaa' title these days.

    Soccer 2022–2023 (EPL, La Liga, etc)

    yeah, bit crazy. think there's still some hospitality seats available at 215 pounds a ticket which I think is my worse case option. If it was anfield I'd be more inclined to splurge. Hopefully there will be a good liverpool pub in london I can watch the game at with atmosphere.

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    yeah, I'm not really seeing that. Certainly not to the degree that everyone is splooging over. I don't even see it as open world. It have very specific areas that are linked together. Nothing like Skyrim or any other great open world game. Sell all junk is just one of many small beefs. adding...

    Anyone know what the chances of getting tickets to the liverpool wolves game are? Ones that aren't horrendously expensive? I'll be in london that weekend and debating whether it's worth trying to get up there for the game

    Baldur's Gate 3 by Larian Games

    it seems the chest of mundane objects bugs out when you enter act 3, so be sure to empty it beforehand. Quite enjoying the game so far but really don't get all the hype. It's very good but on par with the pathfinder games imo. In a lot of ways I prefer them. The UI for this constantly feels...

    Cities Skylines II

    I'd actually like a city simulator that did a better time of simulating build times and issues. Anyone who has seen a road/highway/freeway upgrade happening in real life, knows it's not a matter of demolishing what's there and laying down something new that pops up instantly. It probably falls...

    Call of Duty Modern Warfare II 2022

    Really like the new map. Season in general is pretty good. The change to the DMZ missions is probably an improvement but still not quite perfect, and the interface to them seems like step backwards

    Project Hail Mary

    Hope they can raise it up a notch, since I agree that it pales in comparison to The Martian.

    That's not really true. You got a pretty clear sense of the situation after the first book, the shortest by far.
