I always thought Sarkar was leagues ahead of the rest of the Novara crowd

Not a high bar to clear, really.

Physical media has been dying for years. If you look at the sales statistics between physical and digital, it makes for grim reading if you care about physical media.

75% of game sales in Europe in 2024 were digital. In 2022, 90% of game sales in the UK were digital. It's a similar story pretty much everywhere. And whilst there's a lot of noise on the internet about how bad a digital-only future would be, the average consumer doesn't care.

I'm like Karl Pilkington with pancakes.

Have 'em when you want.

Have you heard of these things called "vaccines"?

This is why I love the Quick Tap feature on Pixel phones.

I suppose it might go down well with some of his base who love the "macho" shit, but the rest of the world are looking on with disgust.

In some ways, this has probably worked out well for Ukraine, as it might focus minds in Europe. Though I do wish Zelenskyy had pointed out the $350bn in aid lie that Trump keeps spouting.

Did Trump and Vance think this embarrassing display made them look the better of the leaders?

Because it really didn't.

Trade unions stuck in the past shocker.

I really want this, but £55 for a 3.5 year-old game is a bit steep.

Also, a premium edition that gives you four days early access for a port of an old game is laughable.

You mean the Bullring?

It's okay, and it's not far from where I live but it's not quite the same as the ones you see in North America. Though maybe they feel different if you don't live there.

I'm in the UK but now I want to go and visit that mall. 😂

It reminds me of the West Edmonton Mall that I visited when I was a kid.

 

Loved this game and can't wait for this DLC to play more of it.

 

Almost like it was a non-starter. Who could have possibly foreseen that?

 

I was browsing the PS Store and spotted three of these complete rip-off games, all from the same company. And they're not even subtle rip-offs either.

Take Rocket Car as an example. Looks remarkably similar to something else, doesn't it?

Then there's Construction Machine Simulator. Again, remind you of anything else? Okay, there's a few of these type of games, but this one doesn't even try and disguise that it's ripping off the main game in this genre: https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/product/EP6326-CUSA43614_00-0303332389496733

And finally, there's Wash Simulator. Yet another not even subtle rip off of another popular game: https://store.playstation.com/en-gb/concept/10008957

These are the only ones I've spotted from a quick browse through the Store, I assume there is more. But how on Earth do companies get away with stuff like this? I can understand it on mobile app stores, but are there no checks before these games are put on the PS Store?

 

Noticed this earlier on the Play Store and thought I was going mad. 😂

It's a nice change though!

 

Looking to buy one of these for use around the house, but I'm not overly knowledgeable about them.

The Bose Soundlink Flex seems to have good reviews from the bit of research that I've done, but any recommendations from you guys on good ones to buy?

 

Someone sent me a DM to test it out but pressing it on doesn't do anything, so there's no way to respond. I had to log in to the website to reply.

I haven't checked GitHub, so I don't know if this is known or not.

 

When scrolling the feed or opening a post, the app has suddenly started freezing and there's no option other than to close it completely. But it will very quickly lock up again.

This is on Android using a Pixel 4a.
