Came here to say that. They were still releasing great stuff long into this century.

Sounds like someone not to give a crap about, really. Anyone who judges me harshly for my interests is immediately uninteresting to me. There are plenty of people in the world.

That reminds me of when Rik Mayall stood on my mum's foot while exiting the toilets at a train station where he'd been filming an episode of The New Statesman. He was most apologetic.

What a lovely surprise to hear Phil, the voice of my Julys for three decades. I hadn't been aware of the breadth of other work he did in cycling. What a legend.

Dammit I need to get my eyes fixed! Never really played the Fable games and need to know more about Intergalactic before I get excited though I liked vibe of the trailer.

Oh except Ghost of Yotei. Never played the first one...

Your top four plus Witcher 4 and The Outer Worlds 2 are definitely on my list, though I'm crap at ordering such things. Never cared for GTA and I don't know the rest.

Who doesn't? The odds seem good, especially as she's done plenty of video game VA work before.

Two sons of rich guys whose main talent has been convincing people that getting even richer of the back of already being rich made them geniuses.

As a Yorkshireman who now lives in Mexico, I watched today's coverage with a mixture of pleasure and homesickness. I've a similar photo of that wind farm somewhere, but with a sunset sky instead of that oncoming storm.

I'm shocked! Shocked, I tells ya! 😂

Just catching up on the TNT coverage now. As a Yorkshireman who moved to Mexico last year, it's lovely to see roads and scenery that I know well, even if the weather wasn't the best. God bless VPNs!

A. I don't have much in common with Iron Bull, but a weakness for redheads is definitely something we share.

I mean clearly it wasn't gameplay. Ciri disappeared off her horse at one point so they could show off the animation tech! Still, it was good to see how much of the world they seem to have built already and how polished it looks.

Oops you said Veilguard... Er... Then Veil Jumper/Evoker.

Everyone? I'd say that Aveline was a beacon of level-headedness in a sea of lunatics. As long as she didn't have to woo anyone...

You would think Carapaz would have learned from what he himself did to Rogla and Nibali in 2019. Bizarre to watch him and Del Toro play among themselves when a grand tour winner went up the road. Del Toro has a great future ahead of him, though. Grand Tour podium at 21 is no mean feat.

There's stuff over 4000m in France, Switzerland and Italy in that area. Everywhere you look around there are huge mountains!

Looks like yesterday was definitively just a "jour sans." ¡Vamos Torito! 🇲🇽

I don't see any of them as being particularly good cooks so I'll choose Neve for the company.

By the size of the map it should be B, but I've spent a lot of time farming Paragon's Luster there, so I think probably A, since that's the next smallest.

I don't know about actually crying but I have definitely felt the feels on various occasions. First time I saw Leliana's last stand in the alternative timeline springs to mind. "You have as much time as I have arrows." Oof.

I wish it were C but it's A, isn't it?

It's not just streaming services, it's the history of TV. So many great shows cancelled before their time...

Del Toro third behind Pedersen and van Aert, gapping the other GC guys. That was the impressive thing for me.

Hmm... My reaction was that it looked equally shit. I guess I already had a very low opinion of it from the videos I'd seen. It's ridiculous that it ever got beyond the drawing board. Heck, it's ridiculous that it even got *to* the drawing board.

Also from David's generation was Julio Alberto Perez Cuapio who won three Giro stages in the early 2000s. Those are the only Mexican riders anywhere near Del Toro's level. My wife's friend who works for Monex says that there are more promising teens coming through the Ar Monex pipeline though. 2/2

Re Mexican riders mentioned in the latest NSF, the biggest was Raul Alcalá in the 80s-90s who won stages in the Tour and had top ten finishes in the Tour and Vuelta including a Tour white jersey. Also podiums in Tirreno and Dauphiné, top tens in Liege and Lombardia and a San Sebastián win. 1/2

Top result was a guy from The Big Bang Theory whose face I recognised but I wouldn't say I know. I watched a couple of episodes on a plane once.

As a Brit married to a Mexican living in Mexico City I'm getting a bit excited here... Torito in pink?

Origins until I got The Reaper's Cudgel from Golems of Amgarrak.

A. Not just in Origins but in all the games except Veilguard where so far I only have two playthroughs.

Oh, those people who think the point of a discussion is to "win the argument" not to understand others' perspectives. They are so annoying.

You'll be OK if you ever move to Britain, then. Not that I'd recommend it these days.

I saw. I was just making a joke about Pogacar not being at the race.

Obviously I'm not a woman but I am 50 and still a gamer. I certainly welcome your voice and perspective.
