- Comment on Xbox ditching hardware and exclusive games "makes sense," former Microsoft exec and Blizzard boss says, as "only a moron would continue" making consoles as games go third party 2 hours ago:
I’m confused by your first sentence - the last machines they made that used PPC were in 2005. To me it reads like you’re correcting me but saying exactly the same thing..?
The fact that Macs stopped using the architecture twenty years ago makes it bit of an odd connection, I would argue. As you say, the 360 used the architecture far more recently and over 84 million of those were sold. It’s not like it was some obscure device.

Mac haven’t used PowerPC since 2005.
- Comment on Name a game that you found SO FUN, but no one talks about it anymore. 3 days ago:
Apogee’s Secret Agent. It got a lovely remaster a few years ago too.
A fun platformer that spoofs the spy genre.

I found it very strange how unfinished parts of it seemed.

I can see why it would be good. I wasn’t willing to endure more of its self indulgence to find out.

The inclusion of “fresh” makes this tremendously confusing.

Hard to say, but I doubt it. Our governments don’t ask before doing stuff - they’ve seen how stupid we are when asked basic questions.

Huh, today I learned. I only tend to pop in for specific items but I’m still surprised I didn’t notice.
- Comment on UK police caught slacking off by jamming their keyboards while working from home 2 weeks ago:
Presenteeism is such a daft model for employment. I am not sat at my keyboard for my whole work day. I could, if forced, but I’d literally get less work done and I’d burn out so quickly as to be a liability to my employer. Half of what I do is reading technical documents and understanding them. Lots of the time that means doing literally anything other than reading more documents - they need to be digested and that means not trying to cram even more data in.

I played Atomic Heart on Game Pass around the time it came out and… I cannot recommend it. The actual game was really rather dreary.
- Comment on this level is amazing 2 weeks ago:
They’re definitely fun and I enjoyed them but knowing how long they are I wouldn’t start them again. I had a similar thing with GTA IV!
- Comment on this level is amazing 2 weeks ago:
I think the thing I miss most about this game is how much it did with hardware from 2005. It looked great, played well, had a decent length but also didn’t outstay its welcome.
I’ve played through it at least twice. I doubt I’ll ever replay City or Knight as they were amazing but far far too long.

Let’s not forget that games leave Game Pass so there’s an element of FoMO
- Comment on 'Buy one, get one free' deals for unhealthy food banned in supermarkets 2 weeks ago:
Which shop does that other than Tesco?
I’ve not been in a Waitrose or a Sainsburys in a few years but I’ve not seen that problem in Morrisons, Co-op, Lidl, or Aldi.Serious question, because Tesco take the piss.
