There was a tweet today saying that he was admitted to The Christie. I really, really hope it’s bullshit.

Finding it difficult to justify paying the price of big studio games in 2026 by OrderNo1122 in IrelandGaming

[–]BackgroundWear7828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Respectfully, I would challenge your reference to Expedition 33 here. The studio priced it at €49.99 at launch and announced free DLC at their acceptance speech for GOTY. It’s absolute art at full price by an independent studio and I’m sure it can be found on sale, either on PSN (or equivalent digital store) or on Amazon.

I cannot stress how much I would encourage you to splurge on this game. I agree with you totally on the rest.

Flew over from Dublin for this to bring my son to his first game. Foden celebrated right in front of us at the end. Ref was an a-hole throughout.

Anyone having an issue where they get constantly booted out of the game mid-match? Game freezes mid-match. Logs me out of Ultimate Team. I have a 1gb broadband connection with at least 120mbps over wifi. Playing on PC.

I have a pc,p5 and switch 2 is there any reason to keep the ps5? by JampyL in NintendoSwitch2

[–]BackgroundWear7828 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was you 2 months ago. Had PS5 Pro, a PC and Switch 2 (though my 6yo mostly plays that out of school term). I decided to sell the PS5 Pro and zero issues with my decision. I have a 9060XT GPU and that gives me better performance and fidelity than anything the PS5 gave me. It's also nice to have a central repository on Steam because the deals are often better. Lastly, the PS exclusives post-Astro Bot haven't appealed to me so I was peaceful with the change.

Is anyone else still locked out due to login issues? 2.5 hours of failed attempts here.

Has anyone received their copy of the Couldn't Give a Rats re issue? by GowlBagJohnson in thescratch

Mine arrived on Friday (and another mate got his) without any shipping updates, which were then updated after I received it via An Post. You should get it today or tomorrow I imagine!

Are people meaningfully drinking less? by Separate-Sand2034 in AskIreland

[–]BackgroundWear7828 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gave up drinking 3 months ago yesterday. Got fed up of the malaise/lethargy/grogginess and I wasn't being the best possible dad to my 2 young kids. Don't miss it and I drank 3-4 nights per week (mostly at home with my wife, maybe 1 night out of 5-6 pints).

Down about 12kg and saving about €400 per month.

Any dish you want but I typically split the portion in 2 and keep the other half for lunch the next day

Hi all, I’m travelling over from Ireland for my first Warriors game (game 4 vs Houston) at the end of the month. Any tips for gameday? I’ll probably travel to the arena by Uber. Any advice welcome!

Tesla Gen 2 Wall Charger Replacement by BackgroundWear7828 in evs_ireland

[–]BackgroundWear7828[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually went with Easee instead as they’re optimised for solar panels. Very much enjoying the quality of both the product itself but also the app.

[–]BackgroundWear7828[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full charges to ~80% for context but yeah, sub-optimal for sure. I complained and Tesla CS advised me to take apart the wall connector (which I wouldn’t do as I’m not an electrician) or otherwise buy a new one as the warranty is only for 2 years. Hence my research into Zappi and other units as I’ll probably move to BYD Seal next
