Where's Simon from Norwich when you need him? Lunch: leftover pasta in a tomato sauce, with garlic chicken and cannellini beans. He's in Florence apparently, if that's more important than a game of diplomacy then it's definitely more important than gamesrig chat.

tenthenemyBelated thanks for the comprehensive octopath response, I enjoyed what I played of the demo so will probably get it for my holidays. I definitely need it, despite not having finished Zelda, or mario, or dragon quest. Right!?

My Falling Down route would take me along the harbour side, via a few nice pubs, through Leigh Woods, past another nice pub, down the Gordano valley, where there’s a nice pub and on to Clevedon pier. It sounds like quite a good idea.

I definitely need it, despite not having finished Zelda, or mario, or dragon quest. Right!? Right... When they say that gaming is a cheap form of entertainment compared to going to the cinema they never talk about the pile of games that were bought at full price and are still in their wrapper or bought because they were somewhat reduced and never touched again and all the games that were played for a while and never completed. That's like only ever watching the first 20 minutes of a film and then leaving the cinema. We all need to provide support for Shaman LLamaman in his quest to finish Final Fantasy X because like every other game it's just too damn long. I'm always thinking: if there's ever a nuclear disaster then I will have all the games in my backlog to play in my vault. In fact it's my only chance of getting through my pile o' shame. Bring on nuclear war, Mr Trump!

I wish I'd kept hold of my copy of NMS now. Always knew Sean Murray was a good egg.

Bring on nuclear war, Mr Trump! I've spent hundreds of hours playing since I bought a PS4 about 20 months ago. I think I've only ever bought 2 games for it. I've played more than 2. Maybe I bought 3 if I include the New Horizons shit for Elite.

Both Keef and Keza doing their best to revive Sea of Thieves and No Man's Sky respectively. I feel sorry for Sean Murray, but then I start remembering all the relentless hype that was going on for months and how no attempt was made to curb expectations. Here's one from that era: www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/jul/12/no-mans-sky-18-quintillion-planets-hello-gamesThat's slightly different to what he says in the latest interview: I also like the BS about how, having just met Elon Musk, he was showing the game to Steven Spielberg, contrasted with his latest assertion that "in the lead up to launch, oh my god, I would have chopped off my own arm to have more time". Also funny how the trailer embedded in the older puff piece has been removed. Although death threats over the lack of butterflies are a bit much.🦋

Yes, before this happens: View AttachmentFalling Down was a film about being utterly pissed off with everyone in society, who happened (purely by coincidence) not to be white, and pised off with one neo-nazi, just to make it clear the film wasn't deeply racist.

There’s quite a good* article on Vice at the moment by someone who followed the route. Worth a read.**
*beats working. **if you’re at work.

PC gamers - I have a pc from 2012 I don't really use much these days (although it can still run Fortnite at 60FPS with some of the graphics toned down) . Is it worth buying a new graphics card (and if so please recommend one) for the setup below to get more use out of it or is just not worth it? Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 MD Piledriver FX-4 Quad Core 4300 3.80GHz AMD 760G Chipset 8GB DDR3 1600MHz 1TB HDD 550W 80+ Gold Rated PSU DX11 GFX OcUK DVD-RW 7.1 HD Audio Stock AMD Cooler Tbh, looking at your set up, I'd recommend just getting a whole new machine. A new graphics card is likely going to require a new PSU and get bottle necked by your CPU anyway. Your memory is also a bit low on both GB and MHz. Just chuck it in the bin and have a nice steak instead. The power supply should be fine I've got a 550W and am running GYX970 with a high end Core i5, 8GB is okay but the MHz is low, I no nothing about AMD cpu's, you could probably put in a better graphics card and see some improvement

He says it much better than I could. Can't wait to get back in. youtu.be/kECLZehvk0Q
