Long Long Man
  • Kudos Belarussians
  • As a Brit I can't see this being true. I just can't imagine many Brits first instinct being Belgium for the "most" anything other than maybe most monks who brew beer or most delicious chocolate. I'd imagine a lot of Brits would pick Germans just out of spite 😂

  • Just like I remember it from the N64 days...
  • I remember some pretty good four player mini-games including one in planes where you stole eggs from the centre of the arena and took them back to your nest. The player with the most eggs in their nest won. You could also steal eggs from other player's nests which always led to some great trash talk.

    Actually, I think the mini-games on DKR meant my friend group probably played it more than Mario Kart.

  • [Discussion] New month of a new year, new games. What are you playing on your deck? - January 2024
  • Grabbed Mass Effect Legendary Edition on sale for £4.99 and having a blast. Completed the first game last night and now started on the second one. Runs like a dream, EA launcher didn't cause any issues (I loaded it in desktop mode the first time) and the game is as good as I remember from first time around.

    The only issue I'm having is when I use the HDR calibration in game I wind up losing a bunch of detail in dark areas and the image overall is way too dark.

    I've also picked up subnautica ready to give it a proper go at some point after picking it up and it not quite gripping me on game pass on desktop.

  • Linux reaches new high 3.82%
  • I've never been a Linux guy but recently I've switched to Pop!OS on my laptop and bought a Steam Deck. Other than a few teething issues with the laptop I've had a great experience and I wouldn't consider myself ridiculously tech savvy. I'd absolutely consider switching my gaming PC over but my worry is loss of performance and being unable to use my game pass games. I'd be super happy if I could switch my PC over in the next couple of years.

  • Italy: Venice bans large tourist groups and loudspeakers
  • The Wedding at Cana by Paolo Veronese is hung opposite the Mona Lisa and honestly was far more worth seeing as far as I'm concerned. It was also mostly ignored by people desperate to get their selfie with a postage stamp-sized painting for their social media.

  • The Steam Winter Sale is on now!
  • Just picked up the Legendary Edition Mass Effect Trilogy for £4.99 to play on the Steam Deck. Read a few guides online which made it sound pretty complicated to get set up but actually just doing the initial load of the game in desktop mode and logging into EA there has meant it now works through the standard deck mode without a hitch. Great game for the deck and (touch wood) performance seems pretty solid.

  • What are peoples thoughts on games requiring always online? How does it affect your enjoyment of those games?

    I'm currently playing Diablo IV (and having a blast with it) but finding one small gripe which I only think is going to get worse and probably stop me playing it completely in the long run.

    My girlfriend is currently pregnant. This means in 6 months time we'll have a newborn. With this in mind I'm expecting to only be able to grab a few minutes at a time to game and even when I think I'll have longer I may end up jumping off at short notice. This means I'll almost certainly come to rely on games which I can pause. Unfortunately this isn't possible with Diablo IV since it requires an always online connection even though I'm essentially playing it as a single player game.

    What are other people's thoughts?
