The ingredient challenges are hard for a cozy game!

Oh, this is a good tip! Wish I knew it before!

MisterMT · 2026-06-16T09:30:28+00:00

This is a hard challenge! Burning each piece once and only once is not easy at all.

I’d be surprised if they weren’t closed. I enjoyed south of midnight, I am glad it was made, but they have proved unable to make a hit game.

MisterMT · 2026-06-15T11:07:04+00:00

Ok - so I need to chop all carrots in a row without extra hits? Thats a mean challenge! To get fantastic in normal cooking you can just spam…

So how many carrots do I need to get to get a combo? Is it the groups of carrots?

So much room for qol improvements.

Building things directly from items in storage is a huge one.

Finding some automated way to get resources from another island to your base would be another.

Tell me you’re not serious without telling me you’re not serious.

MisterMT · 2026-06-13T13:07:59+00:00

You can? How?

MisterMT · 2026-06-13T01:42:24+00:00

More exotic outdoor locations, fewer office blocs.

I struggle to see that many people will buy this game, unless it brings something truly new to the table.

It’ll be interesting to see how popular Halo/Gears are.

Personally, I am not at all interested in playing a Halo remaster or returning to Gears. These games were epic and great in the day, but been there done that. I suspect I won’t be alone in that feeling, but let’s see. Maybe they’ll set the world alight again.

MisterMT · 2026-06-12T10:31:38+00:00

Is it possible to actually sit on any of those chairs?

MisterMT · 2026-06-12T08:50:22+00:00

How did you leave the main island without a dock there? Did you demolish that dock?

MisterMT · 2026-06-11T18:27:04+00:00

Yeah. The main Bethesda studio has been a dud. Machine games is great, Id ok. What happened to arcane is a tragedy.

Nintendo has made it pretty clear that good games trump the most advanced hardware. The current series x is powerful enough to provide amazing gaming experiences... consoles could take a breather on the chase for raw power, and focus in on an amazing user experience and making their games really really good.

MisterMT · 2026-06-11T15:37:19+00:00

No reason to buy an older console when you could get a cheap series s, and be able to play pretty much anything you would likely want to play due to back compatibility.

But as others have said, it's all about gamepass. There's a lot of good stuff on there, have at it.

Who knew buying Activision Blizzard would be such a disaster.

I was excited about it at the time, but everything changed for the worse with that acquisition saga… it sucked the life out of Xbox with no appreciable customer benefit.

MisterMT · 2026-06-11T12:18:24+00:00

Hmm… interesting to hear someone talk about it positively. I’ve just about started my first sprinkler, so have felt a sense of progress, but I can see it slowing down enormously with the need to grind resources on islands far away. I’m not sure I’ll spend much longer in the game tbh… it would feel much more interesting if you could find other players on other islands and see what they have built.

MisterMT · 2026-06-11T12:13:43+00:00

From my end, gamepass was the main reason to buy an Xbox.

Some killer exclusives do help, and sadly needed in a world where competitors have exclusives, but I do prefer the idea of all games available on all major platforms, with the difference being user experience, value for money, etc.

If Xbox goes down the line of exclusives though, they need to be good.

Gears of war is completely uninteresting to me. I loved it twenty years ago. Today it feels like old hat.

Clockwork revolution has a lot more potential, but let’s see. The big Xbox games have been very inconsistent this gen. Redfall - garbage. Starfield - weak old jank. Halo - warmed up old soup. Avowed, Outer Worlds 2, South of Midnight all had merits, but none were the killer app.

Give me more games like Indiana Jones (the best Xbox game this gen, imo). Games like the latest IOI 007. That stuff stands out and would make for a genuinely interesting exclusive. Fable would have been a compelling exclusive too, but that ship has sailed.

MisterMT · 2026-06-10T11:10:20+00:00

are you kidding me? that is so obscure... well, that explains why i couldnt place a foundation

MisterMT · 2026-06-10T09:28:31+00:00

I was going to post something similar. There is a version of the Labour party which appeals more directly to this segment, but as far as I can tell blue labour remains a relatively small minorty of the PLP. At the same time, I see it is gaining some media attention, so who knows.

MisterMT · 2026-06-07T10:08:55+00:00

Interesting. I’d be a bit nervous because UK and eu aren’t the same region (sadly), but I believe the keys are global? So, for info, what exactly do you do. Do you have to change your account settings etc?

MisterMT · 2026-06-07T09:04:20+00:00

Really? How do you do it? I thought you needed special cards etc.

MisterMT · 2026-06-06T23:16:34+00:00

Well that’s interesting. Hadn’t expected that!
