What's funny is that his level 98 character died and then he ended up having another one 3 days later pop up and it was in-game whilst he was giving a live talk to some Germans🤣 The man has spent his entire life taking credit for other people's work but it's hilarious how offended he gets when people question his gaming skill and not his backseat input with Tesla or Space X that is dominated by very smart people who don't get any recognition whatsoever. Man should just continue focusing on being a useless father, smoking weed and getting on any gutter podcast possible for attention. He's even got extremely rattled after humiliating old photos resurfaced of him that he keeps trying to scrub from the internet using technologies that belong exclusively to law enforcement! People are really beginning to see what a prick he is and that he has zero personality and a fragile ego to boot.

Ubisoft have pushed back the release date once more - probably to avoid conflict with vastly more popular games like Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 and Monster Hunter Wilds. Unfortunately they have decided to choose the 30th anniversary of the Tokyo subway attack to release the game which is probably the final insult to Japan after already pissing them off already so much, with bullshit meaningless translations and making in-game assets out of prohibited cultural artifacts they didn't know the meaning of, which caused national outrage. Let's not forget this was the company that included hip-hop music in the trailer because they thought it would be 'appropriate' as the protagonist is black despite the game being set in the 16th century! I don't think there is any company on the planet dumber than Ubisoft and the sooner they get taken over and culled the better. Another total shitshow from them.

It's powerful granted, but I wish they would stop using so many artificial elements to inflate performance figures. I miss the days when a card could be tested in its basic form and it would get 60-120fps and a 50% performance boost on the last gen and everyone would be happy. Nowadays its all DLSS + Frame Gen and other factors and sure, a game like Cyberpunk may push out 300fps at ultra settings but with all the back-end upscaling on the card, it's literally just 1080p upscaled 4 times to buggery and the image may end up looking blurred or of a lower quality than if you just ran everything maxed out on a 3080 with all upscaling factors turned off and the resolution flat-native. Yeah, the frames may be cut by two thirds and Nvidia's marketing gets blown to shit but at least it's an honest depiction. Literally going the same way as the iPhone and these gimmick performance bolstering elements exclusive to cards are actually covering up bad optimisation or giving a false experience just to convince users the card is better than it is. I always turn off all this shit even if it means getting XXfps less because I know the image quality will be an accurate representation of the game and not hardware bloat.

There's Civilization 7, Monster Hunter Wilds and Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 all coming out in the next several weeks. Nothing ground-breaking but it's something early on at least. There's also Mafia The Old Country, Death Stranding 2 and Doom: The Dark Ages plus the Metal Gear Solid 3 remake. Kinda wish there was a new Resident Evil out this year or even a remake but that doesn't seem to be the case and I expect GTA6 will be good to go towards the end of the year. I just hope devs aren't scared off about GTA releasing in Q4 and it becoming really dry industry-wide with 2026 push-backs and calendar clutter. Also could mean other titles are rushed for release in the summer. There's probably more happening in Q1/2 this year.

The site has been pretty dead for the past few months I feel and I think a large portion of it could be trimmed down. Many of the game sub forums could be removed or replaced with newer/more popular titles. Overwatch, ESO, Diablo 4, Hunt Showdown and Valheim all probably don't warrant their own space now either by virtue of diminishing popularity and/or their age.

Just goes to show the power of things like cookies and how no company can be trusted. If it sounds too good to be true, it always is.

Ange should've adjusted his tactics because he seems to play the same risky high line no matter who is in the back 4. Could've even gone for a back 3 yesterday and probably would've been more solid by jamming the midfield.

Spurs 3-6 Liverpool! Another defensively shambolic display from Spurs who could've conceded about 10. Completely wipes out the 5-0 win last weekend and that's another bundle of goals conceded after 3 in the week and 4 against Chelsea at home two weeks ago. 8pts behind Nottingham Forest now and several clubs vying for the European places. You have to feel that Ange has to win the League Cup and Europa League to save his job but he may not even get the chance especially in the latter.

Bruges, Budapest or Prague.

After the success of Rocket League, I'm surprised someone hasn't done something like this sooner. Definitely has potential and the developers have made a name for themselves previous.

This is absolutely insane - game has been given an 18 rating lmao! Funny how FIFA can encourage kids to gamble and Nintendo is riddled with poker games at 7+ but this game being a GOTY contender has to suffer just for putting itself on the map. What a joke these decision makers have become - it's literally a harmless card game with puzzle elements against the computer!

They'll probably release it a good two months before GTA6 arrives which is more than enough.

I dunno, Western developers keep churning out the same arrogant butch females with narcissistic childish personalities and cringeworthy dialogue these days. When the writers are also exposed online for past racism and openly criticising other games for how they present females, then they are going to be held to account for their own creative interpretations in return. Naughty Dog was also on extreme thin ice after how they butchered every character in TLOU2 with some of the most shambolic writing and outcomes ever witnessed. Some of the biggest characters in gaming are female leads and the reception for Ciri for the Witcher 4 was huge as expected last week and I think if this was a male character in this game, it would be equally lambasted.

This game is getting a torrid reception online. A year down the line and they'll probably release a remaster anyway🤣

The Witcher 3 remains my favourite game of all time but I doubt they'll be able to topple that. About 75% of the people that worked on that game plus the expansions have left the studio and they've also ditched the RED Engine in favour of Unreal 5 which is also massively disappointing. Glad they are doing a Ciri game especially after her part in 3 was a nice change of pace but Geralt is going to be making an appearance too which is good.

Some more Forza Horizon 4

Game is better than I was expecting but I can't see myself getting this until a deep sale. They've done a great job with many things including the cinematics and performances plus the locations look decent but I think the core gameplay may be a bit simple especially with the wonky AI and sloppy combat. Third person would've been better IMO although we've had way to many Indy-inspired games over the years in this perspective.

Ange's game management is a bit questionable at this level which was evident mostly against Brighton and Chelsea. You can get away with it in the SPL against the likes of St Mirren and Dundee but not here. Spurs need a change at the top though as Daniel Levy for all his work cannot take the club further. Something like 14 managers in 23 years including many proven ones and only one trophy to show from it and that was from one of the worst. A big injection of money is needed and for all Spurs's impressive results here and there notably against Villa, United and City, the inconsistency is unacceptable and totally negates any big results. Only way to bounce back would be to win the League Cup and then try and go for the Europa League.

Perhaps Americans should focus on their government for allowing such crippling healthcare costs to be forced direct to patients for decades. The insurance companies are in business but they are still operating in-line with the costs that are charged at medical-level by the big pharma boys so they pay out their fair share. Their profits are based on the existing pot and not the procedure charge. They are not obliged to bail out the government or pay institutions out of their own pocket in full just because of terrible legalisation supported by their governing parties throughout generations. Just like with guns, big pharma is a big part of the American way of life and the economy and they are both costly and deadly. At no point in my lifetime have I heard any credible shift about how healthcare is administered and funded to fall in line with essentially the rest of the world. I will certainly not celebrate murder of anyone because that would be very unhinged and unhelpful and it's perhaps that mentality which is why nothing has been achieved this whole time. Certainly has been the case with things like school shootings where a tragedy is gone and forgotten about until the next one a week later rinse and repeat. As a starting point, a FOI request on how many of their politicians have an invested interest at baseline medical level for starters and then the blame can be proportionally issued and then maybe instead of funding the bombing of hospitals in Gaza with missiles to Israel, they can start paying out of their own pocket to help their own population.

Deplorable act of violence against a husband, father and human being. Bernie Sanders is also a geriatric hypocrite who did absolutely nothing in power to change anything he preaches. Maybe he should ask Kamala Harris what she did with the $1.2bn spent on her calamitous campaign of bribing multi-millionaire celebrities. I can understand peoples anger but maybe they should direct their concerns at the only people that can enforce a legislative change rather than hide in their basement and then come out of the woodwork to commit an atrocity like these incel school shooters do. An heinous act like this will just increase anxiety at the top and have a detrimental impact that will ripple down to people further.

1. Balatro That's about it really. Not been a good year for gaming at all. Haven't played Black Myth or Silent Hill 2 yet and I imagine they'd be on the list but having not played them, I can't nominate.
