Have a “sorting hat” that will assign people to an instance based on their interests could be good.

“Almost 20 years after the end of the original series, Malcolm now lives a happy life with his daughter Leah and girlfriend Tristan, having distanced himself from his birth family. He is forced to bring them into the family’s chaos when his parents Hal and Lois demand his presence for their 40th wedding anniversary party.” source

Cool, thanks for the info!

For the first poster, why is nurse Chapel on it?

Growing up I really wasn’t a fan of sitting and reading a book. To me it would just be words on a page, and often I would have to reread the same sentence multiple times and eventually feel drowsy. I recall being sat in the school library during some mandated reading time, and borderline falling asleep.

It wasn’t until I was much older that I decided to give books another go. They are no longer words on a page to me, I now picture scenes with the characters. I don’t know what changed it but I enjoy reading now, when I get the time. Maybe it was a change from it being almost a mandatory thing, to instead being my choice?

StS came out in early access and was a solid game with quite a lot of placeholders. I suspect StS2 will be a much more polished experience compared to that, and Megacrit has the track record of the first title to give confidence.

I don’t know if it’s still good, but when I had my headset I loved Synth Riders. At times I felt like I was really dancing. Some of the “experiences” were great too, there was a Muse one that was really well done!

I’m sure someone more experienced will say this is awful, but I found this video to be pretty handy to watch.

Hope it helps!

May have to try this next time! Normally I gulp lots of air until I can’t anymore, then hold my breath until I can’t, and breath out really slowly. It works but can be uncomfortable to do at times.

There was a contestant on the UK Apprentice show that did just that, and was apparently seeing success.

Feels like they’ve added some physics to the game and this patch is a tech demo of it. Not complaining given it’s free!

I think No Mans Sky came out in 2016 and is still receiving free updates. I bought it dirt cheap and have got so many hours out of the free updates I’m beginning to feel a little level of guilt. I guess I’ll pick up Light No Fire when it releases.

Monster Train 2 if you like card games. It’s got a load of content and replay and they recently released a patch today to add more!

The guy kind of looks like Johnny Flynn, who is in the TV series Lovesick (aka Scrotal Recall) but I can’t seem to pin down what this particular picture is from. Doesn’t look like he’s been in any 50 shades movies.

• Monster Train 2
• Ball x Pit
• Absolum

Also been playing Expedition 33 and picked up Shredders yesterday, but have been streaming them from my PC as they look awful when trying to play natively.

New patch and DLC for Monster Train tomorrow that I’m excited for. Slay the Spire 2 will have some solid competition for my time when it releases!

“Dragging energy costs down around the globe” - such a shame the end consumer in a UK household doesn’t see that reduction of costs in their bills.

Thinking about people eating toast in bed makes me feel uncomfortable given the potential for crumbs.

I had hoped they would have gone down the animation route with something like fortiche / castlevania / vox machina, but I think Sanderson is absolutely set on live action.

Either way, Sanderson retaining so much control is very promising. The guy is also so passionate I would like to think we wouldn’t see anything if it wasn’t quality.

By working late it’s not just the kids that are getting harmed but any co-workers.

Had a colleague that used to work late and through his lunch, eventually the manager approached him and told him to stop. The guy said if he didn’t do it the work would pile up. The manager told him that by working overtime he was making it look like the current team headcount was sufficient and that he couldn’t get evidence there weren’t enough people to meet demand. Guy stopped doing unpaid overtime and after a couple of months there was a new member of the team to ease the workload.

This is great news!

I do feel like for some of these games being labeled as playable, by a lot of people’s standards I don’t think they would say they’re enjoyable to play in the state they are presented.

For example Expedition 33 is labeled as Steam Deck verified, but the quality is very poor, that I’m not sure I would be able to stand playing for long. Instead I’ve had to set up to stream from my PC.

Still great news though, and I hope the steam deck is considered more in the future when games are being made.
