What were they on when they made this? What is up with the desert at 1min? Could they not find a single person who could do an Irish accent?

Gamefreak: Only new Pokemon from Galar will be able to use Dynamaxing Everyone: Finally they are stopping Gen 1 pandering and giving some awesome new mechanics to the new Pokemon Inthe game! Also Gamefreak: Pokémon from other regions will be able to use Gigamaxing which is bigger and better than Dynamaxing in every way. Only specific Pokémon from other regions will be able to use Gigamaxing. You can guess which ones. Everyone:

I've read that second one. It's quite good, although I worked out most of the ending pretty quickly, the way it got there was well done.

Which one is Goafer again? Happy birthday though.

Who gets sacked first, Ole or Frank!?

The Oculus Summer Sale is on! Unfortunately only for Rift and Go titles, but 'I Expect You To Die' is cross-buy, so although it doesn't show up as being on sale, I bought it anyway, and got it on the Quest at sale price.

Anniverssaire joyeux!

If they're that unhappy with the game, they shouldn't buy it. Nothing tells a developer they fucked up a game like bad sales.

Finished Chernobyl last night. Excellent show. Learnt so much from it (I'm now an expert in RBMK reactors), and found the whole thing really compelling. It's scary to think how close it came to wiping out half of eastern Europe!

Is a visual novel really a game though?

Apparently there is a limit of 32 uploaded levels per user anyway, so that might have solved our issue regarding too many levels being uploaded. Phew!

I looked at getting Muse tickets, but >£90 for crap seats right at the back made me change my mind.

If you had one level per post, then people could 'thank' the levels they enjoyed, and people could see at a glance what the best levels are.

I mean, it's still Just Cause. For a tenner you know exactly what you're going to get. The game needed another few months in the oven I think.

Man this game is a bit of a glitchy mess. I played some more of it at the weekend, and I don't think there was a single mission that I did which didn't have some kind of glitch or bug (mostly in the AI). In one mission, I was supposed to be protecting a blimp from blowing up while they downloaded some plans, and the blimp blew up anyway, but they carried on downloading, and congratulated me on my success with bit of tattered blimp raining down around me. In another, I was supposed to escape from chasing government forces, without exiting the car. But the government forces never showed up, and after driving around for 10 minutes looking for them, I got out of the car and failed the mission.

Found a free alternative to Beat Sabre. It's a browser based game called Moon Rider that uses all the mapping from Beat Sabre (apparently with their consent?) but has loads of songs not available in BS without sideload etc. The tracking apparently isn't as good, but hey, it's free!

So is Banjo paid DLC, or free? And if he is free, when is he available?

The thing that bothers me is your spelling of the word 'lose'.

Not necessarily:

Just write it into the story that due to humans ruining the planet, there has been a mass Pokémon extinction with 70% of all species wiped out. Then we're back down to 300ish Pokémon, they can cut all the chaff and ones that nobody likes, and no-one can complain because it's canon.

Played and completed Superhot, which I really enjoyed. I basically played the whole game stationary, since my playspace isn't very big. I'd be interested in playing it with more ability to move around, since I feel that would add a bit to it. Still, good game, with a bit more replayability than Vader Immortal. It's very satisfying to clear out a level quickly with a few practised movements. I also downloaded the free game Bait!, which is a fishing sim, and a very enjoyable one. It's a very relaxing, simple game with fishing mechanics that aren't too complicated, but with enough variety to keep you interested for a few hours. I think if this was fleshed out a bit, with a few more locations, rods, equipments etc, I would consider paying money for it. It's quite addictive trying to get all the fish in an area, and trying to catch 3 star sized fish in every category. I also bought a 'game' called VR Nature Walks, in which you can walk around CGI environments. I was pretty disappointed by this game. The environments are really too simplistic (considering there's not much else going on in them), and I would have returned it for a refund, but my wife quite liked it and made me keep it.

Cheating at Animal Crossing? Is that even a thing?

Oooh, great. I've just finished season 3.

Even with those side-by-side and slowed down, I genuinely can't tell the difference. What is that, 60fps vs 30fps?
