I'm still playing Luigi's Mansion 3 and no doubt will be for a while. I've only just unlocked Gooigi because I've been meticulously checking every room and every secret space. I love this game. What annoyed me slightly about the first one was that the same weak enemies were popping up in exactly the same locations in the hallway as long as you hadn't cleared a floor, something that got really old really fast. That was already changed in the second game where progress was more linear (because handheld) and so far has been completely absent from this one, making exploration a lot more fun.
I went to the game's Metacritic page because I wanted to re-read a German review that was very critical of the controls (haven't had any issues myself until now when I'm finding it a bit difficult to recall Gooigi), and had a quick look at user reviews. There among the fanboy reviews was this disappointed chap with a 2/10 rating:So true. If you are looking for a platformer then getting an RPG will probably disappoint you. Poor thing.

Turn the question around. Are you sure you need another mammal in the living room? In addition to Mrs C you mean? I'm not a Mormon. How much am I spending? Probably about £10k Oh, you mean on a laptop? £700-£800 (at a push) |

You're correct, I'd read your comment as 650. <edit>Your link is better. |

If you are gaming at 1080p at 60Hz try to at least get a 1060 or 1660.
I don't think anything in xx50 range is great for gaming, but because those GPUs are small they appear a lot in these laptops.

I've gone early with lunch.
A tactical win, but maybe a strategic error.
Roast beef & horseradish baguette with potato salad.
Home made, but I bought all the ingredients.
Four stars
I'd quite like it again shortly after 1pm.

You are (partly) right apparently. The 1650 seems to be the "sweet spot" but i'll keep al ookout for 1660's.

The 1660's are over a grand. Can't go that high. We'll see what Black Friday etc brings. |

I went to the game's Metacritic page because I wanted to re-read a German review that was very critical of the controls "Ich nichten lichten." |

That's what I mean about awful value, even with 1660 you will have to turn quite a few settings down to hit 60 FPS at 1080p on a modern triple A game like RDR2. |

I'm not keen on the crown corked Leffe bottles.
I appreciate the beer is no different, but I preferred the old caged cork style even though I presume the crown top is cheaper, more efficient and more environmentally friendly.
The cork always made me think* I was drinking a high class drink, not just getting pissed on strong sweet beer.
* generally after a couple of bottles

This is also why I decant my Tennents Super into a crystal carafe dating from the Regency. |

That's ok. I've played it. It's a dull as fuck shaving simulator with horses.
(that's going to trigger a few folk)
I've got a bunch of old steam games that will run fine.
Some of the older Forzas and other stuff I can grab cheap will too.
I'll probably end up getting a PS5 at somepoint as well - so the AAA games will go on that.

I have had 3 lunches today. A sausage sandwich at 1130 because I missed breakfast; a Pret salad at 230 after the gym; and a sausage roll and coffee tower just now because I am am still hungry and won't get dinner till 8. I have never felt so alive!
