Topic: The Chit Chat Thread

@WanderingBullet Silly EA, I know that they claimed single player was dead, but Ironically have published some real multiplayer flops in their time & even their successful ones are not great for me personally as I'm not into sports games.

So this is what I'm missing out on by not being on social media.

@ThereThere Yeah it is whole bunch of nothing imo.

@MightyDemon82 Been FIFA 22 lately. Think it's okay. Would've been better though if there was no loot box system. Whether you get good players or not is largely based on luck. There's also pay-to-win element in this game. :/

@ThereThere @Thrillho Pant did indeed bring the swashbuckling, gonna be a tough test. @antdickens Would it be possible for us to have access to The Cricket Thread again so we can discuss matches in there please? Much appreciated if it's possible for you to do this for us.

@TheBrandedSwordsman done!

@antdickens Thankyou very much.

Hey @RogerRoger, just caught these comments and wondered what was going on. The review thread is not one I've checked in on many times (probably my loss there) but checked in and saw what's going. So wanted to say despite rarely checking the thread I can recall being impressed by reading some of your work there (Tomb Raider and James Bond spring to mind). I wish you well in your endeavor, you never know what you can achieve until you try.
Will Roger Roger be your pen name? If so I'll keep an eye out to put in my day one order.

@RogerRoger guess I must’ve missed the memo on this one too… but all the best buddy. Always appreciated your positivity, kindness and eloquence. I’m hoping that this endeavour won’t deprive us all of your presence too much 😉.

Guys, look at my first PS5 game ever. 😄

I opened this PS5 game first since I really love Kao the Kangaroo new design and I want to register that game as my first PS5 game purchase.
And then I opened the 2nd and 3rd PS5 games. 😃

I don't have PS5 machine yet but I can prepare the games first for future investment. I have to wait patiently until I can buy PS5 machine and able to play my purchased PS5 games.

@ThereThere How long will he cling on for? Should start taking bets!

@RogerRoger Great that your doing that. Something I've always wanted to do myself, maybe once we finally find out forever home. Best of luck on the novel and I'll definitely pick up a copy.

It’s the last days of Rome! Tempted to grab some popcorn.

I just read he plans to resign later today. But not with immediate effect, he plans to continue as Big Boss until the Autumn. At which point there will be a final battle between him and Gove.

@LieutenantFatman Guess that means they still win the next election. The public will lap up whatever excrement stuffed into a suit replaces him.

@nessisonett The worst thing about the whole situation is the opposition are not serious nor worthy of consideration. If the Tories win the next GE the feebleness of the opposition is to blame.

@nessisonett
It seems to me that most will vote for whatever is the biggest personality, who makes the biggest promises, regardless of whether they are achievable or believable. Of course this has always been the case, but with TV and social media and our celebrity worship culture, it feels more so than ever.

I'm sure it's a little more complex than that but seeing what happened with both Trump & Boris, I expect this trend to continue for some time.

I know nothing about the political climate in the UK and almost nothing about it in my own home country of US, but I do observe a trend that the type of personality that goes into politics and running for public office leans toward the narcissistic, greedy, power-hungry, and/or delusional. I’m sure there are persons of integrity, innovation, intelligence, and justness who have interest in serving the public good, but the mess that is a career in public office is likely enough to drive the sane people away from getting involved.

Or perhaps everyone who seeks high office has good intentions to begin with and the time spent in the system is what corrupts them. Like maybe they are socialized into becoming scoundrels. 😅

@RogerRoger
On my list, I have accumulated almost 30 PS5 titles. It was a good beginning for PS5 since 2 years ago have been released. I saw more kids games got physical release on PS5 as well from publishers such as Microids (Smurfs Mission Vileaf, My Universe games), OG Games (Paw Patrol, My Little Pony, Transformers Battleground), GameMill, etc. Those publishers are really contributing for kids games on modern consoles.
I really hope PS5 will not ended like Wii U due to shortage and lower sales than Switch.
Still a long journey to build my PS5 games as fast as my other consoles since I don't have PS5 machine yet.
