It's the 24th century. No-one cured baldness because they're past caring about such nonsense

That still can't inform you properly on how a game 'feels' to play. I'm very tempted by Alan Wake 2, but having bounced off many other similar games because of how they control has me pining for a demo. I'll not be dropping 50 quid without being able to try it first

Ah that's a shame. We've had a worryingly mild autumn so far, and rarely get any significant snow nowadays. Yay climate change, I suppose... :/

Well, it's certainly more interesting than the offerings in the ones near me

Ingredients from their website. Water, modified starch 25%, coconut oil 18%, tricalcium citrates (a calcium supplement), salt, natural flavouring, acidity regulator: citric acid, colour: natural beta carotene, vitamin B12.

They don't taste anything like the others (from what I remember) but I really like them. Very creamy flavour. I understand they're quite divisive though

I'm more interested in what's in this Latin American section? No tesco near me has this

The episode could've been called Shades of Cave(s)

Same. Great episode. I love the interplay between these two

Oh nice. Didn't realise these were out now as I don't have Netflix. Definitely wanna check them out. Need to rewatch Ateroid City actually, I watched it with someone clearly not interested who kept talking!

I watched Citizen Kane for the first time. It's one I'd never got round to despite it being so lauded. I'll be honest, it being black and white and from 1941, I had prejudged it as I've not been a fan of other films of that era.

Thankfully, It's pretty bloody good! In many ways it feels a more modern film than many that came after it. Yes, some of the acting is a bit hokey, but Orson Welles is great, and the directing, cinematography, and music are all stellar. There's so many bold and interesting choices and often a tangible sense of heightened reality about it. It's an odd film in that it outlines the entire plot in the first 10 minutes, but still hooks you with the central question. What is Rosebud? But, more importantly, who is Charles Foster Kane?

I'd say it may take a little time to 'click' at first but, there's still plenty of ways to make it easier. E.g. consumables, certain weapon combos

It's pretty great so far. It's easily the most polished non-FromSoft souls like I've played. The weapon system is a lot of fun to muck around with and try new movesets, and it's fairly free with the upgrade materials, so you can try many different weapons. It definitely takes some getting used to, and it starts off feeling more punishing than some of its peers. But the game really wants you to mix Perfect guards and dodges, not just rely on one. Once that clicks it feels really nice to play

That's awesome. I'm at the tail end of my first playthrough, but I'm already thinking about and all druid run with Halsin, Jaheira, Tav, and a respecced origin. I think druid is flexible enough to pull it off. How are you finding system shock, then? I never played it originally but have played many of its 'spiritual sequels' in terms of immersive sims. I was tempted to harken back when the remake came out but never bit the bullet.

Baldur's Gate (in act 3 now), Lies of P, and just dipped my toe into Warhammer 40k Darktide. It's quite nice having very different games to bounce between.

I've got Cocoon waiting a well. I heard it's quite short so maybe I'll boot it up on an evening where Lies of P is kicking my arse too much lol

I've just dipped my toes into Darktide on xbox gamepass. I love the visceral, impactful feel to melee combat so far. I have been playing with one friend so have come afoul of the lack of communication with others that don't chat, but so far have found it to be acceptably stable in terms of gameplay

I'm sorry but it's an awful, ugly, science runabout... that's its. I may be biased because I hate the design...
