It look much more interesting than I remember from the announcement trailers and hopefully it has a good narrative.

I tried out RetroAchievements last week while playing Pikmin and even though technically it works great it’s just not for me.

Achievements were an interesting idea but ultimately they are meaningless. Especially now that they are everywhere… Like big whoop I got an achievement on the Google Games app, GOG Galaxy and Steam…

As for console commands it would be nice but most gamers don’t know that they are doing and would probably ruin it for themselves somehow. Breaking saves files or getting stuck in a crash loop.

You could keep the chain going and pass it down to somebody else?

If you have any old hardware/laptop laying around then use that until you nail down what you actually want to do and need.

The Xbox dashboard is already a mess so I hope this doesn’t make it even more shit. I know it will though.

I don’t have any recommendations buy will say that my watch is one thing that I’ve changed over the last 2 years to be “just” a watch. I used to have a Huawei and Samsung and use it for tracking everything but I decided to get a Citizen Eco-Drive and haven’t looked back since. Can’t get more private than that :D

Currently the new ratings will only apply to games released after June. “Without applying the rules to current games the policy will do little to protect the children who are already playing them,” Tofield said.

Overall I think the changes are positive but I think they definitely should apply to all and not just new releases.

Games lacking any way for users to report or block players online will receive a PEGI 18 rating.

Also this is interesting. I’m not sure how common it is to have no controls for this in a game but it should certainly make devs/publishers think seriously about it.

I associate them with WindowBlinds and adding a start menu to Windows 8. Probably haven’t thought about them since.

Most open world games I can’t seem to get past a few hours. I’ve started RDR 2 about 4 times now, Watch Dogs/Assassins Creed games probably more than that and even stuff like Forza Horizon (I love FH1 though) is part of that too.

I would start by adding a couple more indexers but don’t go overboard. 3 or 4 should be good and then swap them out as needed. Also something to note is make sure you aren’t just “hit n run” on everything and seed properly.

I read most of the article and I’m inclined to agree with what they say. The title does read as clickbait though but it’s just their statement so please read it for yourselves.

I still have Skate 3 installed on my Xbox for those times when I just want to chill for an hour. It makes me a little sad when I see what its become nowadays…

This has been my default for a couple years now. Qwant search is ok at best but I mainly use it because I wanted an EU alternative with some privacy. As for Vivaldi I think its great, and especially with an OISD list with the built in blocker.

RVGL

It’s an OpenGL port of Re-Volt and a lot of fun!

Bridge of Spirits is great so looking forward to this. I wasn’t expecting a sequel but it’s a shame it’s probably a year away :/

Masters of Albion comes out this year, and quite soon, on 22nd April, and seeks to give us a dose of Dungeon Keeper, Black & White and Fable all in one.

Honestly it sounds and looks great but no way am I buying an early access Molyneux game!
