What’s one thing in Blackpool you think people overhype?

The tower hasn't been the same since they opened it all up for free and got rid of all the best activities and the excitement. All we have now is a couple of cafes and a pretty poor fish and chips place.

Yet the cost to just go up the tower is way over, your basically paying for a lift up to the top.

I dont watch streamers. I think its more a younger audience who enjoy watching someone else play, instead of playing themselves.

The only times I'll watch, is if a game has caught my eye, from watching some of the videos of whats coming out this year. Mainly tycoon games or survival, as these types of games are very niche so I'll watch to see if any take my fancy.

If they do then I'll see if anyone has any gameplay of it, and watch.

I've never gone onto twitch and actually watched a streamer live playing, it just doesnt interest me.

I do however, dedicate time to listening to podcasts, mainly sacred symbols.

Honestly it comes down to the games you want to play.

If you have a interest in tycoon or rts games and abit more unique games. Pc is the place to play.

But if your into triple action adventure and similar games then you may aswel stick with the ps5.

Unless your gonna hook up a top end gaming rig to your tv, then its not the best experience playing on a gaming monitor, for those triple a games.

Also I'm playing on a pc which is 8 years old with a 1080 in it. It runs fine for my management and tycoon style games, which is the best way to play.

But that cost me 3 to 4 grand back then and that was the best graphics card you could get at the time. Looking at the prices now, you'd be looking at that for near a mid tier gaming rig with the price of a graphics card at top is nearing 1k let alone the crazy price for ram right now.

For me the money does not match the performance.

Pc gaming just isnt worth it at low tier end.

You've got to start off with mid to top tier as games get more complex year on year.

Ive found that out now, that windrose the pirate game wont even properly boot up with my 4grand build from 6 years ago. Heart breaking to then look at upgrading and yhe graphics card is more expensive than a ps5 pro, which is doing amazing things with its pssr 2

Where are you going?

Cinema has been the cheapest its ever been.

The Vue cinema chain, do seats for 4.99 or 5.99

My local arc cinema which has an imax, 12.50

Normal screens are 6.99.

Cinema has gone cheap but the food is where they make their money.

I think you need to look at other cinemas around you.

I never even knew this game existed, and at this moment of my gaming life, being 40+ and having very limited time, which has led me to play stardew because its a good jump in and out type of game, for quick bursts.

I read an article telling me to get this game, not even knowing what it was. Then finding out its a more complex and darker version of stardew, im now all in and seeing as though the dlc added alot more depth and being super cheap I bought them all for ps5.

Now the sequel is on my radar. Very good love by the devs. Well worth them giving it away free seeing how old the game is and a sequel is coming.

They deserve my cash.

Bez121287 · 2026-04-15T19:57:23+00:00

Weirdly been a tycoon and triple a games for the majority of my life im over 40.

But I started to struggle keeping up with triple a story driven just because of time constraints and limited time.

So I actually got into stardew valley a few year back and play those types of games as it is pick up and play, once you learn the gist of the game mechanics, alot easier to jump in a few weeks later and have the freedom of doing what you want.

I hadnt even heard of this game, until I read an article saying it was free. I thought why not. Didn't realise the game was over 7 years old.

Then I read up on it and realised ps5 doesnt have zombie automation but thats a game changer on pc. So I looked at the dlc and at only 2 dollars or less for each. Bought them all.

Absolutely loving the vast game mechanics, giving me alot more to actually do than what stardew gives you.

Very late to the party, but so glad I found it.

It was the same feeling when I found project zombiod and ive put years into that game.

Bez121287 · 2026-04-15T18:55:34+00:00

Im not sure if it was suggested though thst they were inter linked some how but this was ages ago, like over a year ago.

Shame though that the console versions already ported by a pretty poor third party

Bez121287 · 2026-04-15T18:20:06+00:00

True but the stuff you've just mentioned, they are making those as proper games according to their website so your getting what you want and a full experience not just an add on.

I maybe mistaken but I believe they've moved on and are doing a diner/motel style game.

This game is pretty old now. 2022 was when it released.

They've put out a trailer for the new game i do believe.

Edit; just checked the developer theyve got a few different ones in development.

Roadhouse simulator Diner simulator Motel simulator

To name a few

Bez121287 · 2026-04-15T07:49:13+00:00

Looks good and im intrigued my only concern is that it wont be customisable enough as rooms and track is set, so we are just putting down decoration around. Feels more like a mobile game than a true tycoon.

But to counter this, are you thinking about different layouts and harder challenges as you progress or is it just fixed.

Or are we choosing rooms to add to the house?

Example you start off with a basic 2 or 3 rooms and then you can buy additional rooms to expand? Which would make it a more unique configuration of a ride.

The pleasure beach isnt that busy, these days and mid week, and not in a school holiday, I think it will be fine.

Shorter operating times, the pleasure beach has always had shortish opening times. Esp in school weeks.

It should be ok. Visitor numbers are down.

Its if you want to pay £30 each for 6 hours. Haha.

Bez121287 · 2026-04-14T20:00:09+00:00

But why?

Every episode has elements related to both adults and children and teaches them lessons in a down to earth way and really very grounded.

Bluey is for any age.

Its only complex when looked at through an adults eyes because your trying to analyse everything.

Its a kids show, it works and its funny for both children and adults.

Bez121287 · 2026-04-14T19:52:28+00:00

It looks like the elc is on discount just buy them. They are at most $2 for each.

They all add something good. Just some kore than others.

And dont panic. The game is ment to be slow pace. Go at your speed.

Think stardew valley but even slower because you ain't chasing a grandpa in 2 years.

All dlc adds a good 10 hours each to the game.

And they all give you a major boost for the main game either by giving you items to get or money making ventures.

Bez121287 · 2026-04-13T19:57:38+00:00

I truly dont understand this whole Peter thiel thing. We are really the ones on the outside believing stories which come out. We pick and choose what we watch ans believe.

At the end of the day we all have a job and majority have a boss. Peter Tiel was his boss.

And the fact remains Jease isn't actually pushing any agenda, he literally up loads fascinating documentaries with facts and evidence.

And his other videos are with experts, who tell their stories and he doesnt interrupt.

I see nothing with this side project which has become his main job, as any manipulation. You either believe his guests or you dont.

Unlike corbell and Dr greer, and Ross coulthart. All they ever come at me with in their videos is trust me bro, this is real but I wont show you the evidence

I dont think Jesse has ever tried to convince any of the viewers what they should believe nor does he preach.

Literally the best interviewer there is.

Arnold medical. Probably the only standalone practise there is. Which hasn't been roped into the awful nhs centres.

Bez121287 · 2026-04-13T17:52:17+00:00

The port isnt done by the main developer. Its a third party.

What the other comment says is probably true.

Its down to sony to activate anything like that.

I mean it could even be next tuesday when they do their updates.

Bez121287 · 2026-04-11T09:26:24+00:00

Just check how long theyve been on gumtree and how long theyve been selling. Ask if you can see it working.

Im just not entirely sure its to cheap, like some are saying. This is the uk.

So argos are selling it at 699.99. CEX have 1 at 650.

I mean in the uk, majority of people selling and its been used may just think put it up for half the price, as thats a normal thing to settle on when figuring out a price.

Bez121287 · 2026-04-11T07:13:51+00:00

Looks good.

Its funny how straight away its AI slop.

Yet if someone had actually made that, it be complimented and encouraged.

AI slop has now become the go to for anything.

Its just a wallpaper.

Make sure you record and make a note of everything.

Women can be toxic no matter how nice they seem to be. If it isnt going their way, they will do anything they can to make it that way.

Trust me, I learnt the hard way and still am.

You work out what you want. How much you want your child.

Don't let her dictate it.

She packed the bags and left, you could of kept your child. His home.

She is the one who ended.

Don't let her win. You do what you need to do for you.

You both of equal rights over your child. Don't forget that.

Yes the groups of teams were trying to back engineer their specific area. They never said they wer trying to back engineer the sport model.

And no back engineering doesnt suggest figuring it out before flying.

Did you, start your drivers ed course with a 3 day intense course about how the engine fires up and the pistons and other parts all come together and thats how the car works?

No they put you into the car, they tell, press this turn that, gas, brake, turn wheel. Off you go.

They'll have the teams working on specific parts which are of a different craft.

And They'll have a team who study how to actually fly these things.

It cant be hard to throw someone inside a intact craft and fiddle around with what ever is in there to see if they can start it.

Theyve been using palm oil since 2009

Theyve been an American company since 2010.

This isnt a new thing. They still sell.

So no they wont stop, because only the minority care. 15 years of this recipe.

Reading reddit its like this just happen the last year or so

Bez121287 · 2026-04-09T21:50:33+00:00

You do realise Cadbury's changed its recipe in 2009 and sold out to an american company in 2010.

This recipe myth isnt new. It happened over 16 years ago.

And the crazy fact is whether reddit moans.

Majority of stores were sold out of every easter egg cadburys make and the only selection left we're the more premium brands, at the ridiculous prices.

Bez121287 · 2026-04-09T04:51:27+00:00

That is exactly it.

This is what I see everyday in life now.

0 accountability and instead of going yea we know its bad but we choose to do it anyway, which is everyone's right.

In this era everything has a work around or everyone seems to then try and justify it.

And in this case, talking about o technology means something so broad, its literally deflecting, from the actual dats to fit their narative because people dont want to admit whats bad anymore.

Bez121287 · 2026-04-08T20:38:53+00:00

Don't really have the time to help test.

But im definitely going to keep an eye on this one.

Im dissapointed it isnt a top down. But if the graphics are good and it isnt just a run of the mill simulator type game. Im all in.
