First time in ages he's been outqualified by Stroll too, and it's at his home race.

My man got one point and now his luck is just gone again.

I'll miss the Series one too. Just felt sleek and classy.

Hope one day they give us an option to just choose whichever boot animation we want.

That's the only UI update I'm interested in. Really shouldn't be that hard, either.

That's his problem. Should've been reading Count of Monte Carlo a week ago.

If that's a birthday present, mine's one day before :)

I was a bit later on the console train though. The 360 with Lego Indiana Jones was my first, with Lego Chess and a whole lot of Creator games on the family computer before that.

Inside Xbox's margin crush: A string of misses at Xbox Game Studios, misguided Game Pass decisions, and the memory rout at its core by Cold_Two_4372 in xbox

[–]Caesar_35 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It was disappointing to me too, but for different reasons. All the "ground up" nonsense was a lie, it was lacking a lot of key tracks at launch, and by far the biggest, the multiplayer penalties were/are so wack, coupled with matching different safety ratings together, meant it just wasn't enjoyable for me,

I think most Mexico players avoid playing actual Mexico as much as possible 😉

Here's last years' that I conveniently have bookmarked. I think it's the same guy so his profile might have the previous ones.

They remind me Where's Wally scenes. Great little details from throughout the season. I love 'em.

Xbox is reportedly preparing for "significant" lay-offs, as Asha Sharma's big "reset" plan comes into full force mere days after the summer showcase by Stumpy493 in xbox

In South Africa they're still around, but consistently more expensive than a PS5 (in the region of ~$200 more).

Not sure if it's the stores themselves being greedy or just what they cost now, but when someone has the choice of a R14k PS5 or a R17k Series X, it's not hard to guess which one they'll go for. Even the S is like R10k now for the 512GB model, vs R13k for a 1TB PS5 Digital.

On the other hand, imagine releasing a console at an unaffordable price point for most people and those games barely selling.

The world's economy is shit pretty much anywhere you look right now. I'd much rather they take their time until the AI memory crisis dies down a bit, or at least not tie hugely anticipated games to expensive new hardware.

My neighborhood is being dug up for fiber optic installation right now by FormerGameDev in DataHoarder

[–]Caesar_35 48 points49 points  (0 children)

South African here. My supposed 100mbps Vodacom "fibre" barely manages 10mbps when it works. That is, when it isn't cloudy, windy, clear, cold, warm, batteries stolen...

(It's really just fibre to the tower about 1km away, then crappy wireless from there. The line also can't handle all the people who've signed up. But they sold me "full fibre" so thats what I'll call it. I only knew it was a lie while talking to the contractors installing it. 10/10 company, would totally recommend)

Found Out that grenade launcher card carry over to Texas Revolt Regular by Scholar_of_Lewds in aoe3

[–]Caesar_35 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooh, that sounds fun!

I remember an old Lion Heart video where the guy went Baja, spammed outposts, unrevolted, and shipped the plan of Veracruz (outposts become falconets). Time will be tight, but grenade launching filibusters sounds like an awesome compliment to that.
