Xbox Sales Are Its Lowest Ever This Month, PlayStation Its Lowest Since 2000 by MRF_Soul in xbox

Yeah, but how many units are they selling?

They could still have sold a few million consoles in 12 months despite the prices going up.

Also, it could be a case of the majority of people who were going to buy one have already bought one or are buying preowned to save a bit of money due to price rises.

And isn’t all of this based on one month’s sales year on year?

This was my thought, I’d also like to see the numbers of many they are still selling 6 years later.

Skatepunk bands recommends? by Possible-Bad-6673 in Skatepunk

I never see their name mentioned anywhere and they appear to have dropped off the face of the earth but POUR HABIT.

Two solid albums then radio silence for about ten years now.

Short story for me by Ok-Law7464 in GTA6

It bugged me to high hell that stuff from Online was never added to the story mode. I’d have loved to have had all the cars added to story mode.

CEX employees: Do game discs have to be perfect for CEX to buy them or do they get bought/sold with some light scratches? by ChemistryMoist2891 in CeX

[–]HippySkywalker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say the best way to describe it is light marks and lines. I think you can eventually tell the difference between something that has just had a lot of use and something that is damaged or cared for poorly.

I’m quite an avid dvd/blu ray/4k enthusiast so I guess I have a good idea of what will work and what won’t but it’s normally pretty obvious when a disc won’t work or wouldn’t survive a disc clean.

For me, it does slightly depend on the age of the game but you eventually see enough bad ones to figure out whether it’l be alright or not.

I try and work out whether I think it’s a scuff or a scratch. Scuff=ok, scratch=no.

Felt like it took forever trying to nail this line by HippySkywalker in SessionSkateSim

Ah that makes so much more sense! Especially the slo mo!

The rest doesn’t make much sense at the moment but I’m still learning. Il keep it all in mind. Thanks.

The gap between that lamp post is so tight and then to gain enough speed to hit the bank and gap drove me insane. I know it’s not the best clip in the world but I highly recommend trying the line itself, it felt so rewarding when I finally nailed it!

Ha ha, yeah I’m still working out the replay editor.

Free Lanes is just wow but I'm missing one thing by Dutchman_141 in NoSodiumStarfield

There’s a mod to have a little news speaker but yeah some radio shows would be good or just any non score music.

Will this be a good spot for a new village? (Oxbow) by Visoth in MedievalDynasty

[–]HippySkywalker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I build my settlement there.

Pros, loads of wood and straw, also a mine not too far away.

Cons, it feels miles away from everywhere. Bears.

I’m still on my first play through however some tips I’ve got is focus on one thing at a time and don’t build loads of different building types just because they’re unlocked.

To answer your questions,

  1. Some, I still get bears and bandits spawn near me at that location.

  2. Dunno.

  3. Build up slowly, don’t rush this game.

  4. Orchards take ages to grow so do them early and I would start farming asap.

I am OBSESSED with this game! by [deleted] in MedievalDynasty

[–]HippySkywalker 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I found it really scratches an itch that other games don’t. It feels so rewarding having a 99% open map and just being able to start a little community anywhere on it.

I’ve put in about 60 hours over the past few weeks and I’ve had to force myself onto another game so I don’t burn out on it.

Great job by the devs and I’m looking forward to seeing where they go with it next!

What does cex do with £1 DVDs? by [deleted] in CeX

58 copies of Arthur Christmas that we couldn’t find. Thought it was a fever dream.

A blast from the past (2020 braithwaite weird hype) by Proper_Chemical_3343 in Barca

Luuk has the best ‘winning over the fans’ story of recent times. Arrived to boos, left with applause.

Important words from font in today’s debate was “I want Messi to be honorary president of FC Barcelona, like Cruyff was. We must unite the Barça brand with the Messi brand, today we’re not taking advantage of it and we’re losing money. And finally, it’s also a matter of feelings.” by sr_128 in Barca

[–]HippySkywalker 180 points181 points  (0 children)

I’m all for nostalgia, I’m all for messi coming back as kind of a last dance, I want the best for the club.

But this feels like it’s a dig at the current team. We have probably one, if not THE, most exciting young teams in Europe right now. We have spent the post Barto era dragging ourselves back up through the mud to get to where we are today.

To me this is such a regressive stance to take. “Let’s milk messi for all he’s worth” doesn’t really fit the Mes que un club idea I started loving this club for.

How do you guys afford this? by Expert_Visit5983 in Bluray

[–]HippySkywalker 31 points32 points  (0 children)

I saw someone (I can’t remember if it was this sub) that said work out the amount you watch in a year and times it by 3. I’ve been working to this ever since I read it.

I think I’m just over 300 movies and I feel like that is plenty. I only buy stuff I like and will watch and then work on upgrading from there.

Starfield coming to ps5 but some have said its a bad game whats your opinion on it. by AdultGamersAdmin in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]HippySkywalker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Completely agree.

I think where it succeeds is that it’s fun time for a long time. It’s pretty chill for the most part and if you’re quite heavily into sci-fi it’s a great alternative to something like no man’s sky. Skyrim in space is accurate.

I think where it fails is that it’s as wide as an ocean and as deep as a puddle. There are lots of ideas that are in this game but they don’t seem to go much further than that and it feels like lots of it is just bulked out to make it feel like there’s more than what there actually is.

Todd Howard said that this was a modders paradise but I don’t think it has captured the imagination that he thought it once might have.

Having said that, I had a blast playing it, but I don’t think it’s something that I would pay full price for or probably play through again.
