My wish for #FM26: If a player can play the DR or L position they should also be able to play WBR or L. Similarly the MR and L to AMR and L positions. They are the same roles, just pushed higher up. See also DMC to MC and MC to AMC. #FootballManager

Between ska punk and alternative rock being a teenager in the mid to late 90s was a great time

As I sit playing Trails Through Daybreak 2 I am wondering to myself is Renne the only character who has appeared in every arc? I think she may well be. She was in Liberl, Crossbell, Erebonia and now also Calvard. Not a complaint by the way, Renne is an awesome character

In other words, once the initial release hype died down and the diehards who always have to get the newest shiny had the unnecessary #PS5Pro sales flattened out and it is now trending behind the #PS4Pro. #Gaming #Consoles www.pushsquare.com/news/2025/02...

45 mins of comedy gold. Making fun of the anti woke comments are a particular highlight. #FM25 #FootballManager www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7Pb...

I find is hilarious that a lot of handheld PCs have come to market since the #SteamDeck released 3 years ago, and the Steam Deck is still the best choice to make for most people #Gaming #Consoles

I hate how romance is done in video games. It is almost always done in a depersonalising way that just gamifies the process of getting to know someone. Complete this task, give these gifts, talk to them at just this moment, get rewarded with sex and love.

Stop telling people to "buy physical" in response to the problems with digital distribution. Not everyone has the luxury of being able to do that.

I really wish there was a Bandcamp like site for buying books. Bookcamp, if you will.

Anyone for some DRM free dystopian science fiction? storybundle.com/dystopian

He's right you know. The graphical arms race is why games cost so much and take so long to make which leads to AAA publishers being so risk averse and playing it safe with the games they publish www.pushsquare.com/news/2025/02...

Don't break out of your comfort zone, expand it

submitted 4 days ago • 0 comments

You know that accepted wisdom that your comfort zone is bad and you should break out of it for personal growth? Yeah, the older I get the more I realise just what a load of nonsense that is. I'm 42 years old now, all I want is a quiet place to sit in my comfort zone with a good book and cup of tea.

Banishers Ghosts of New Eden came out a year ago and I played it very soon after, and I still think about the game sometimes. I suspect it will life rent free in my head for some time to come

I would watch more Twitch if the website UI wasn't such a horrible convoluted mess. Seriously I hate that website UI

Hot take: the Trails Through Daybreak 2 localisation so far is top notch (I'm in Act II)

A positive review for Lost Records Bloom and Rage but like all Unreal Engine 5 games it will not be for #SteamDeck. looks its #PS5 for me. Unreal Engine needs to do more work optimising for handhelds because this is FAR from the first game that struggles. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxHC...

Saw someone call Trails Through Daybreak 2 "trash" If you refer to any game as "trash" then you are not worth listening to. You not liking a game does not make a game bad.

I have an #Xbox, Phil. Know why it never gets used? No games that I want to play that justifies me taking it out of the drawer to set up. Xbox's biggest problem is that they have so many first party studios and no idea what to do with them www.pushsquare.com/news/2025/02...

I’m not really into football anymore but I check in every so often. It has been a few years now so imagine my surprise at seeing Man United down in 15th and Nottingham Forest up in 3rd. How the hell did that happen?

Playing #VideoGames slouched on the sofa with the feet up is so much better an experience than sitting bolt upright at a desk, keyboard and mouse. #Console master race FTW
