After this was user was caught making a post that was obviously copied from somewhere else I looked into this one too, and I can confirm that this was plagiarised from an article on EarlyGame.com: https://earlygame.com/rocket-league/ranks @Marven98, if your not going to make original posts then fuck off!

You should talk to @DC, he might find use for them.

Has Florida decided just because it looks like a willy on the map that it should lean into this joke and become literally the State of dicks?

To my knowledge stationary mouse's aren't very common, especially amongst gamers. The only practical application I can think of is maybe in office's where space is tight.

The stupidest choices I think I've seen in video games really come to the time frame in which they are presented. This was a major problem Life is Strange: Before the Storm. If you played the original first (which is what I would assume most people did), then you would know that many of the choices in the prequel appear to be meaningless since you know going in what the end result is going to be anyway. It was a similar issue with Beyond Two Souls, at least in it's original release. The story is told out of order, so there are scenes with Jodie as an adult that you see before you see her as a child. So, once again, it makes the choices that you have with Jodie as a child feel redundant since you know it's doesn't have any long term consequences. Later releases of the title allowed to choose to go through the story chronologically but combined with a few other controversies meant that damage had already been done.

In Scotland I see "Mum" more often, but both are pretty common. Like you touched upon I think it comes down to how Americans tend to favour phonetic spell rather than traditional English which is derived from other languages that don't necessarily "sound like how they read". For whatever reason the letter "u" seems to be a particularly contentious character in this debate. A simple example would be the word "Colour", which is spelled with a "u" in British English but in American English it's left out although it's pronounced pretty much the same. Then there's "Aluminium", except this time it's spelled the same but pronounced completely different. In British English the first "u" has it's own syllable (All-u-min-ium) where as in American English it passed over and a break happens after the "m" instead (Allum-in-um). One I always thought was a particularly odd is "Jaguar". In British English, much like the case of Aluminium the "u" has it's own syllable, so it's pronounced Jag-u-ar. Once again Americans drop that syllable and even seem to replace the "u" with a "w" sound, so it's "Jag-war" One point I remember the confusing state of affairs being particularly well framed was in the movie "Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me". Mike Myers is an American actor but he plays a British character that uses an English Accent and inflections pretty much the whole time expect once. He's driving a Jaguar which he has nick names a "Shaguar" and at one point he yells it out loud as "Shag-war" and it sounds absolutely ridiculous coming from a British character. fadb510e-4e8b-42d3-8149-866bc024c049.mp4 It's like the UK and US got "divorced" and couldn't decide how the fucking letter is supposed to be used! It's actually kind of fascinating. I do think the British use is a little more consistent but there could also be a bit of bias at play. Sorry if went off in bit a tangent there but this is something that has always interested and bothered me.

Like @Kane99 mentioned, the Raspberry Pi is essentially a miniature computer. Their small form factor has made them very popular as an emulation platform. There has been people pitting these things inside old consoles like the NES for years, hell there are even after market NES style cases you can buy for them! https://shop.pimoroni.com/products/nespi-4-case?variant=32206425686099 That "NES Cartridge" is actually an 2.5" SSD/HDD caddy! Crazy!

It's probably not very comfortable but it makes some sense. It minimalizes the distance between the buttons and his active fingers so he can react quicker. It also lets him manipulate both sticks, the face buttons and the triggers simultaneously.

Didn't @DC post this already?

Clone Hero itself is probably legal, but downloading content for it that contains copyrighted material most certainly isn't.

For me the the quality of the system, IS the the quality of the games. So I can't really there is a game I love on a system I hate. I Love the PS2 because there were so many great games on it that I loved growing up. I dislike the Wii because the majority of the gams on it were cheap, shovelware crap. I could criticise aspects of a console outside of it's games like the ridiculous size of the Duke controllers on the OG XBox but I can easily look past these things if the games are good.

I'm actually pretty encouraged by this. It seems that the first game in the rebooted series didn't meet Square Enix's expectations in terms of sales (even though it did very well) they seemed to gradually loose interest in it. They did that timed exclusive BS with Rise of the Tomb Raider to make back some mere money and Shadow of the Tomb Raider was barely publicised at all. I think having a new publisher will help restore some of the lustre which is what I want to see because I think these games are fantastic.

I think i9's and other high thread count processors are really intended for production purposes like audio production, video editing and 3D modelling. In some cases a high core count processor can be a little slower in games.

I remember having a Sony VAIO that was one of the first Laptops to support Wi-Fi. It worked by inserting these cards into a proprietary slot on the side, yes there weren't even any USB Wi-Fi dongles yet. This was about 2 -3 years after the XBox came out. The XBox 360 went on sale only about 2 more years after that so there was never really a gap for Microsoft to release such a thing

THAT'S A TOTAL LIE! The exact same pain in the ass process applies with eSIMS as they do with normal ones. You need to unlock you phone if want to use an eSIM, or at least an eSIM from different carrier. https://www.esim.net/helpdesk/knowledge-base/locked-phone/

Are you really this pissing ignorant? I happen to know that T-Mobile have a $5 activation fee every time you activate your eSIM on another phone, and that not even counting the the initial activation fee's you incur when setting up you account That's just one example and no, I'm not going to pick skeletons out the closet of every carrier that uses eSIM's since that's not the point. Your trying to convince us that pushing eSIM's as a pro-consumer rhetoric but your simply wrong. It's more restrictive and companies are absolutely taking advantage of people and extorting more money from then with it right now. Even if you were right, getting SIM tray and replacing it with nothing is still completely inexcusable and makes no sense. You can still have a phone that is eSIM compatible with the physical tray intact, Apple have been doing that exact thing for years. So taking it away and replacing with a piece of plastic is still fucking ridiculous,

Your just not listening are you? I'll try to be a bit more direct. If you have an unlocked phone or one that has run it's contract period that uses physical SIM cards you can change your provider. Without the SIM card slot your carrier can prevent you from doing this. It's a greedy and anti-consumer practice.

What? To the best of my knowledge the iPhone 14 in America is literally the only phone on the market that doesn't use a SIM card! I know digital cards are coming but they are a sham, just another method of restricting consumer choice. I've had a Redmi Note 9T for a couple of years. It was pretty much the cheapest 5G phone I could find at about £200. It has a headphone jack, SD Card Slot and Dual SIM. Why the hell would spend £1000 on a new model that replaces all of these things with bits of filler plastic! It's stupid!

Then it's still a problem right? You and Apple know perfectly well that Bluetooth has it's limitations in certain applications. Removing a feature is not innovating. They removed the headphone jack to save money, end of story. They legitimacy could not care less about the end user experience because they know their end users don't care either. A salesperson at an Apple store could take $1000 from a customer, in exchange they would literally shit on the customers hands and they would still clap!

You are so damn ignorant, removing the headphone jack was a terrible idea and it has NOT been universally accepted for two very good reasons: Passive and older active speaker and headphone systems aren't Bluetooth compatible and there lots of people (including myself) that still use them. A large part because of reason number 2. Bluetooth Latency. A Bluetooth signal is delayed about 0.2 -0.25 seconds because of the time it takes the software to process. When listening to music it's not a big issue but for watching video, gaming or trying to play an instrument to a backing track it can be borderline unusable. I know because I recently tried to watch Netflix on my phone with Bluetooth earbuds and the sound was completely out of sync with the video, no such issue with a headset connected via the headphone jack. I even have a portable guitar amplifier with the backing track feature with both a input jack and Bluetooth. I connect it via Bluetooth to my laptop, play a video and got the exact same problem. I explained earlier that the only people that benefit from removing physical SIM cards are the telecom companies and to be frank, if you think it's a good thing you either haven't thought this through or you are bit stupid. Let just say you want to go on holiday to Turkey, a user with a physical SIM card try can buy a SIM card with cheap international rates and use it for that week and switch back to their old one when they got back home. You with your iPhone 14 are fucking stuck with whatever international rates your carrier want to charge you and trust me, they will charge whatever the fuck they want assuming they even allow it in the first place! Heed my words: THEY ARE SCRWEING YOU! Don't accept this bullshit!

I'd love to see a quote on that because as far as I know, Guerrilla's Decima engine was developed from the ground up for PS4 and Horizon Zero Dawn. Killzone Shadow Fall was the first game to be released that used it, but that was more of a test for Guerrilla and it was PS4 release title. So this idea that they had to shelf certain idea's for Horizon Zero Dawn on PS4 with a new engine they were developing when the PS3 was still the current system is absolutely ridiculous. They had no idea what the hardware on PS5 would be like back then. The only "idea" that they might referring to here is the moving "Metal Devil" Horus Titan. To be fair, I could see something as big and complicated as that needing a significant amount of computational power in order to animate in engine, but I'm not convinced it can't work on PS4. I know that the underwater sections the PS4 version of Forbidden West are compromised with less fauna and so on, but it works. I'm sure that they can make a cut here and there for a Burning Shores release on PS4. This is all marketing speak to push people onto next gen if you ask me. PS5's are still hard to find and in the UK where I live many people are having choose between heating and eating because of an on going financial crisis. I have never heard of as cross gen game where a story expansion was released one version but not the other.

Final Fantasy XIII for me. I fully expected the first Final Fantasy on PS3 to blow me away just like it did on the PS2 with Final Fantasy X, but it was such a let-down. It's certainly not the worst game I've ever player played but when comparing what I expected to what I got it was definitely the biggest disappointment. Dishonourable mentions: No Mans Sky, Middle: Earth Shadow of Mordor, Burnout Paradise, Devil May Cry 2.

Wow... That is REALLY fucking disappointing. I loved the game, I wanna play the DLC and I'm happy to pay for it... But I gotta either buy a PS5 or wait two years or whatever for a complete edition to come out on PC in order to do it! This is bullshit, if the base game works on PS4 then why can't the DLC? Fuck you Sony!

PC every time. With that being said if it's a freemium mobile cash cow that's been ported to PC (which is what most games on both platforms are) I wouldn't even consider playing that garbage anyway.

Show starts soon:
