The cat in the second picture looks to be roughly the same size as the humans in the first picture, so shouldn’t have an issue catching tuna.

That was my first thought, but the presence of the Kodan threw me. It does make sense though.

Since this is set in Orr, I’m assuming it’ll be another time jump, as it looks quite different!

I wonder what their plans are for GW2 to make sure certain content remains accessible with a dwindling population. Fingers crossed for some kind of heroes system like in GW1!

I love story-based games, so it’s a big motivating factor when choosing what I want to play. However I love all sorts of games, so it’s not the only factor. And sometimes when I’ve played a couple story-heavy games in a row, I’ll look for something else to break things up.

I will be quite forgiving of a game if it has a strong story, but that’s not to say gameplay isn’t important. I don’t play many visual novels, because the genre doesn’t appeal to me. I’d rather read a book or watch a movie or series in that case.

For games without story, I tend to only stick with them if they have something for me to strive towards, engaging gameplay isn’t generally enough. It needs to have achievements or collectibles or distinct levels to beat for me to find it engaging. I don’t play arena shooters for that reason, I just don’t enjoy them.

If you have an original Paperwhite, your device is going to lose internet access next month, so make sure you make a backup of all your ebooks before then.

Luckily I have the Paperwhite 2 from 2013 so I’ll be able to keep using mine for now. But I’ll be backing up everything anyway because it’s only a matter of time before Amazon comes for my device too. I’ll not be buying another Kindle once mine is no longer functional.

They’re a company that made environmentally sustainable shoes out of wool and eucalyptus gum. The looks were never really the main selling point, but I’ve been buying from them for a few years now and I always liked them, very comfortable and I like the simple style. Unfortunate that I’m now going to have to find an alternative.

It’s funny how they’re still considered to be the sequels developer, despite the fact the last one they released on commission was Dungeon Siege 3 back in 2011. Since then, all of their releases have been original titles, although some were part of other franchises like South Park, and they did get brought in to collaborate on a couple games which were free-to-play and therefore pretty forgettable.

Their earliest original title was Alpha Protocol. Fantastic game, it’s a shame it didn’t sell very well. Sega owns the rights as the publisher and they don’t seen interested in doing anything with it.

Arguably their biggest original was Pillars of Eternity, which broke a few records when they launched the funding campaign on Kickstarter.

“I saw an article that said the universe is going to end in 10.78 years!” “10 to the power of 78, not 10 point 7 8…” “That’s what I said! That’s less than eleven years!”

A professional tennis serve often reaches speeds up to 230km/h, with the fastest recorded being 263km/h. So yeah, the balls wear out quickly.

When Neopets first came out, I used the entire month’s data allowance in a day. From memory I think we only had 100MB. I wasn’t allowed to use the internet with images turned on after that. Luckily by the time Runescape came out we had a much higher limit.

Season 1 of Universe was rough, but they really hit their stride in S2 and I was very disappointed it got cancelled when it did.

I think I actually like S2 of Universe more than a lot of Atlantis. I always felt like they played it a bit safe with SGA, and it just felt like SG1 but in a different location. Which is fine and obviously a lot of people liked that, but the thing I appreciate about Universe is that they tried something different. I think if they’d fully committed to it and cut off the ship’s contact with Earth, which would then mean less stupid soap opera drama, the show might have done a lot better.

Surely it’s less immoral than turning them into a zombie minion without their consent?

Top 3 is hard. I’ll start with the first three that came to mind, in no particular order:

• Witcher 3

• Star Control 2

• Monkey Island 2

But there are so many that I could have listed instead.

The Commander Keen games are amongst the first I remember playing, I loved those and played through them so many times.

Baldurs Gate 3 was such a masterpiece, it probably could bump W3 off that list.

Although, Ultima 7 was the first RPG I played where I became properly immersed in the story. The world, the characters, the way the mystery of the main story unfolds. And it is actually a really good jump-in point for the series as it’s set a couple centuries after number 6.

Fallout 1 also could easily make the list. I loved the way such a small and intimate quest for your vault unfolds into something bigger.

But the large corporations are handling that side of things already. If the lawsuit goes in the favour of copyright holders, AI companies would in theory have to do something to avoid using copyrighted material, or pay for the usage. Of course, there’s every chance that they may end up avoiding using copyrighted material from anyone big enough to fight back, and just profit off of the works of artists without the resources to stop them doing so.

You’re not wrong, but if they win against AI, all artists will benefit because of the precedent that it would set.

What I think will actually happen if this is looking to not go in the tech bros’ favour is that they’ll settle and make a potential deal with large copyright holders for ongoing usage, and that would screw individual artists.

It’s also interesting to include Luther in there. Luther is the embodiment of an anti-hero, and is constantly getting into trouble for disregarding due process. He’s certainly not lauded as the hero in the end.

I’m not familiar with too many of the other shows portrayed, that just stood out to me. I don’t doubt that there are some instances where “copaganda” plays into it, but I think it’s more likely that due process is kind of boring to show on screen, it’s just more entertaining to have the main character do whatever it takes to solve the case. And really good cop shows explore the negatives of doing so just as much as any supposed positives.

Inside is currently 90% off, so good time to buy it anyway. Limbo is full price, but it is a great game and well worth it in my opinion.
