Lol I'm just going to wait 5 more days

I'm the opposite and just going to play Starfield whenever I get to it. I like the look of it and love space games, but I realised I've not really enjoyed a Bethesda game since Oblivion so not holding out much hope at this point that I'll get on with this one.

Anyone get a glow in the dark Analogue Pocket? I nabbed one. Are those online tax calculators accurate or can I expect extras?

Loaded the page at 10 to. Forgot. Loaded at 20 past. Gone.

Sad.

I set a timer and was about to refresh the screen at 4 on the dot and it just loaded itself which was a nice touch. Wish the Glastonbury ticket page did that

Congrats!

What is an estimated delivery on those?

Not sure. Says it’ll shop next week so I’m guessing a couple weeks, plus customs clearance time?!?

Really regretting losing most of my games for my old gameboy now though!

Sold a lot of mine recently. Early Pokémon’s boxed are going to crazy money.

I would just use roms these days.

Tempted to pick up an android retro console at some point but, in reality, I’ll end up playing it as much as I do my series x or ps5 or switch which is precisely fuck all.

Yeah I’ll be all over the roms, but it would be nice to have the carts I had since I was a kid. Apart from Gremlins II, that cunt was impossible and shit

How in the name of utter fuck am I supposed to defeat thunderblight ganon on mastermode with only 3 hearts.

Kiddo and I are doing a challenge run and that electric prick is so OP in the first phase (compared to the other blighty boyz) it feels like a mistake.

£30?????

Ivey seen it offered ON MS for about £150 early access...

£30 is just for the early access gubbins, you can play with Gamepass but if you stop subscribing/MS removes it from GP, all you're left with is £30 of DLC

Rubber suit, fully upgraded?

Had to check which forum I was on for a sec.

Grab yourself one of these if you don't care about playing the cartridges:

It's called a miyoo mini. I think these days you can't get the mini, only the mini+ (slightly bigger)
I have both and they're great. Everything runs of an SD Card

I have had a go on one of these but found it to be a really annoying form factor. I’ve got my original game boy from when I was a kid so I’m used to the form factor. I’d happily keep using it if the screen wasn’t faded and the cost of a replacement halfway to the price of a Pocket

Baldurs Gate 3 having couch co-op sealed the deal for me. My partner and I started a run through on Saturday. Lots of fun. Big recommend if you and a loved one / cohabiter are both big nerds.

Went to see some Zelda music at the weekend with kiddo. Never seen so many beards and corsets.

Conversation from a first date in the seat behind me:

"What do you have the most hours on?"
"Europa Universalis IV. 1680 hours."
"That's more hours than you'd do at a full time job in a year."
"Well it was over a few years and we used to do big 6 hour sessions with the squad."

I've tried to work out how many hours I've probably put in to Counter Strike but Steam didn't do tracking then. I played it religiously from 2005 - 2011. When I was in college I could do 6+ hour days and even longer when a student.

Just picked up Hotline Miami on the switch. Forgot how addictive/annoying it is.

Anyone played Saints Row 3 on Switch? I remember enjoying on PC but switch reviews are a bit mixed.

I bought the early access thing and didn't even think about this... blinded by desperation!

Yeah, I think I probably had a couple of thousand hours of LOTRO before it moved to Steam and the clock actually started.

Similarly I remember buying the OG mount and blade from the talewords website (and worrying it was just a scam) and sinking a similar amount of time there before it turned up on Steam and now I just have 350 hours on warband and 350 hours on bannerlord.

Currently I'm left with 4.5k hours on PUBG as the front runner. 500 hours dayz. Everything else below 200 hours.

Edit: oh, and 66 minutes of No Man's Sky...

Appropriate website name is appropriate.

DAYZ still the biggy for me with over 600 hours...

Have you been tempted to go back to NMS? Heard it's actually decent now
Never played because the initial reviews were just so shit and never could be bothered since
