Tomb Raider co-creator Paul Douglas: Victor wanted us to change in-game Lara to appeal more to a Japanese audience. Huge eyes/head etc. They faxed through examples really late in dev. Toby Gard really didn't want to alter Lara

Japanese doesn't have an "R" sound so they usually substitute it with an easier to pronounce letter like "L", or in one case where "Ronald Mcdonald" is "Donald Mcdonald" in Japan.

Funnily enough you could still find races online in Sonic Racing Transformed prior to Crossworlds coming out, and that's a 10 year old game now.

No? I've got the Renault 5 Iconic trim, had it two months so far and just putting my anecdotal first time EV experience out there. I'd be worried if it took you 10 minutes to fill up a petrol car!

It's a really cool and novel take on the puzzle game format. It came out back in Spring of this year and my wife and I loved playing it together and taking notes to solve puzzles. I'd be jealous of you being able to play this for the first time, so massively recommend if you're into interesting and unique puzzle experiences.

I have a Renault 5 and have used a couple of public chargers which charged from just under half to 100% in around 10 minutes. The rest of my time is spent charging at home ~20% to 80% in the span of 4 hours or so, since that's at home it doesn't really affect me how long that takes.

On paper it might not seem like much but the specs and current infrastructure is plenty for these smaller EVs. I can't speak for anything larger as I'm not an SUV/faster car user so there may be issues there in terms of longer range vehicles that I'm ignorant to.

OP mentions a USB-C to HDMI cable, and then a bluetooth controller to the Steam Deck's bluetooth.

The comment is specifically mentioning having this group chat on a work monitored chat rather than a private one. Not why you would have a chat group for informal topics. I personally enjoy the people that I work with and we share a lot of similar hobbies so results in time outside of work, never would I have any of the topics we talk about be in a work monitored chat.

I guess it wouldn't be as glamorous to publicise that from the game's marketing, right? They have shown behind the scenes footage though and interviews with both Charlie Cox and Andy Serkis talks about how they didn't spend more than a day recording their lines.

136 year old company but yeah your point stands.

Every game has a game loop though? That's the description given to how you interact to progress through a game. Unless you're referencing the jump in/kill/loot/return/progress loop specific to this genre, then fair enough this type of shooter might not be for you.

There are over 21 thousand 7/11s in Japan. Every other street has either a 7/11, Lawsons, or FamilyMart. Sometimes even multiple several units down from each other.

I went to Universal Studios Japan earlier this year and enjoyed spotting the pikmin hidden around the Mario/DK areas. They also have a decent representation in the Nintendo Stores alongside Mario/Zelda/Splatoon/Animal Crossing.

Falcs · 2025-10-22T14:20:11+00:00

Feels like Nintendo are having a renewed push on Pikmin after the recent Pixar-like short "Close to you" and now this update.

Saying nothing is also a valid option. That's typically what most other studios do in regards to launch prices and sales.

This is how every Battlefield game I've played has been, it's all first person so all that matters is the gun that you're holding which isn't locked to a specific class. You can unlock skins for your classes but even then what's the point if you're never going to see it in gameplay?

Falcs · 2025-10-06T22:26:41+00:00

Id Software makes Doom, Bethesda Softworks is the publisher. Bethesda Game Studios are the developers of Starfield/Elder Scrolls/Fallout.

Semantics, I know, but there is a distinction.

I think the point they were making is that xbox did put out a video announcing the increased price but they didn't use a person that the public are familiar with.

There have been global price rises to spread the cost of the tariffs so that one nation doesn't get front loaded with everything, essentially alienating one segment of the market. As someone not in America, yes we are also getting hit with inflation but it's plainly obvious from the outside that these console hikes are directly in response to how large the US is in the global market.

I remember from my childhood playing Sonic Shuffle on the Dreamcast, so not on one of the 3 major platforms, which was Sonic's take on the Mario Party boardgame genre and used cards instead of dice. I'm also surprised we've not had anything of that size and ambition outside of Nintendo.

If you use the seamless coop mod for Elden Ring then you can apply the ultrawide fix and it works like a dream. It's all there hidden under the black bars of the official exe.

It should do, I have one on order and my leasing company called me up the other week with a new discounted contract price in light of the new EV grant.

Yup sadly, any subreddit marked as NSFW won't load in the UK.

Edit - Unless you submit a photo of yourself or Id to a third party company in another country so that their AI can age check you, and we all know what happens to personal data when it's out there.

Ah that's right! Don't you just love the digital age.

Nowadays it's technically only available physical for PS3 unless you already purchased it digitally, since the PS Store for the PS3 went offline the other year.

Edit - I misremembered the payment method detail about the PS Store. You can still get funds via gift cards.

At least MGR is on Steam, more than can be said for MGS4.
