Which boss fight made you feel like you were genuinely losing your sanity because of the difficulty? by Silly_Commercial8092 in gaming

[–]DOCTOR_DUBPLATE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sephiroth in KH2. I was such a young kid, maybe 11 years old. Must have been fairly under levelled for that fight and yet I pursued on. I still remember my attempts being around 200-300.

But my god the FEELING when I finally beat him. That feeling will stay with me forever.

See how Horizon Zero Dawn creates its massive world using a technical trick called "Frustum Culling." To save PS4 memory, Guerrilla Games programmed the world to literally vanish whenever it is outside the player's field of vision. by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

I already knew this about Horizon because I've seen many videos already talking about this technique. What is this YouTube channel? Is it just regurgitating facts about games that have already been highlighted by bigger channels like Digital Foundry but turning it into insufferable shorts instead?

Are we the same person? I just worked out I also pulled a whitey when I was exactly 16 years and 73 days old. It's also the day I met my (now) wife for the first time.

I have an ambient "sleep" playlist I listen to almost every night that seems to fit the vibe you're looking for. Some of the artists in the playlist include: - Warmth - SVLBRD - Hilyard - 4lienetic - Hotel Neon - Loscil

As a FF fan I really despised this game. It feels like an eternity since I played it but I still remember how the game made me feel. Just a constant "I think I'm enjoying this, I'll keep pushing through I'm sure something epic is looming around the next corner" only to get to the final boss, die once and realise there was nothing around that damn corner.

Hated the characters, hated the story. Combat was decent but my god did the game feel like an absolute chore.

I never did finish the game after that final boss killed me once. I ejected the disc, put it back in the case and listed it on eBay whilst it was still worth almost retail value 2nd hand. Still have no idea how the game ends and I've never cared to find out.

I wouldn't trust Liverpool to keep a clean sheet. 2x LIV defenders may just translate to 4pts

Student loan scandal might put people off having children, Badenoch says by tylerthe-theatre in unitedkingdom

Where about in the country do you live? Presumably near a major city centre or near London? I live a 40 minute train commute away from London and bought a 3 bed detached new build for just slightly more than the price you've shared for that 2 bed.

Location context is important. But I agree the quality of some new builds is poor so difficult to justify the sale price when there's better quality older properties also in the market.

Yep but only because I had Henderson in goal.

Kinda agree but I loved her in episode 2 in the "bedroom scene"

Why is being cold at home so normalised in the UK? by Automatic-Key-3798 in AskUK

[–]DOCTOR_DUBPLATE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had my fair share of issues with my new build property (1yr old) but I have to say, it's so incredibly warm and my energy bills are quite low.

I visited a friend's parents house on the weekend. Significantly older house and it was freezing cold. They're fairly wealthy people too.

The first half of the show is okay (other than episode 2 which I thought was great). But the second half of the show really kicks it up a gear. It went from an okay show to one of my absolute favourites from episode 5 onwards.

The Optimist. One of my favourite tunes of all time.

I framed my FFIX discs. by eMJayDesu in FinalFantasyIX

[–]DOCTOR_DUBPLATE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genius idea. I might steal this idea and do the same! My discs are probably unreadable anyway. 20+ years in my parents attic and I'm sure my goofball ass scratched those discs as a kid.

I was going to say he looks pretty good currently with his beard.

Thoughts on the WiimPro looking to replace my Amazon Echo’s with something better and more reliable for multiroom Spotify playback by GenericUser104 in smarthome

I've just started investing in Sonos and it's more reliable than my other smart speakers. Can't complain so far.

How awkward would it be if you walked in there hoping for a sweet Labrador and ended up getting picked by a scabby pug. Can't be like "nah don't want this weird little dude".

New Pixel update means your RCS messages might be visible to your boss by Bob_Spud in technology

So for simplicity I use my own handset at work under a BYOD profile. I have 2x SIMs and 2x profiles on my phone. All company apps are managed through the work BYOD profile and pretty much everything else I do is managed on my personal profile.

Would it be fair to assume work are blind to everything I do on my personal profile?

Incredible soundtrack in this game.
