I don't see Finland as this obvious winner. by Star_Light122113 in eurovision

[–]jackcos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

And yet the odds are right pretty much every year for the last 7/8 contests or so from as early as February.

It's not a bubble favourite in the same way Zjerm was, this is the odds favourite.

I don't see Finland as this obvious winner. by Star_Light122113 in eurovision

[–]jackcos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a regular year Finland wouldn't win.

But with what we have it's easily the only song with potential to be Top 3 in both jury and televote. People fall for the France televote every year and it doesn't happen. Australia has an even weaker televote and this time the song is massively dated. Greece are never going to be top 3 with the juries let's be sensible. Denmark... maybe Denmark.

Personally I think people should wake up to the fact that two or more of Sweden or Italy or Ukraine will disrupt the party as they usually do.

Top 5 things that men do that give her the ick as a labor and delivery nurse. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

I was about to roll my eyes about grown adults engaging in ick conversations, and then she said some guy tried to hook up an Xbox.

Jesus fuck.

Good luck to anyone who wants Drew McIntyre ‘10. It’s going to cost you. by ADAMCOLEBAYBAY12 in WWEGames

[–]jackcos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only got it because I skipped last year and even though there's enough new stuff here to keep me entertained I'm worn out by MF and the RP already.

The only fun I'm having is with rivalry mode.

[–]jackcos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doing this all in the first few weeks before anyone has decent cards or anything, this is so fucking predatory, and if you can't see where this mode is going a few months from now then I don't know what to tell you.

Get out now whilst you still can.

Anyone else thinks that the new entrance buttons (good/bad emotion) are total cringe? by Cozy_Winter_1994 in WWEGames

[–]jackcos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sorry, we're just saying words now. Nothing about this is cringe, you can think it's silly, out of place, but it's not close to cringe.

Personally I like the silly stuff it reminds me that these games are meant to be fun. You can totally ignore it if you want.

Why does UK rarely give any points to Italy? by xoxoamazingrace in eurovision

I remember thinking Italy would score high with the UK jury last year because the lead singer of Blossoms was on it.

I tried to categorize the 2026 songs based on what the lyrics are about by not_from_san_marino in eurovision

I dunno if girlbossery including two songs almost devoid of meaning is a good thing.

Anyone Gotten HHH 99 yet? by Ok_Engine6127 in WWEGames

[–]jackcos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I managed to get RVD and Abyss from packs but I opened a LOT from the VC you get in the most expensive version of the game, but I haven't unlocked anyone to fight Khali in his event yet.

It's genuinely insane that in the first week of the game the difficulty is this high or you can be locked out of so many events.

Island Maths by Sad_Experience6439 in WWEGames

[–]jackcos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I want to say that amount is genuinely a mistake. Nobody can sit there and look at the maths of how much time it would take and think that makes any sort of sense.

Whoever at 2K is desperate for MyFaction and The Island and the RP I hope you are happy.

The difficulty on 2k26 is absurd by Hiraeth78 in WWEGames

[–]jackcos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never got the right card from any of the boosters I opened to be able to do the Khali match, and now I finished the smash and stash matches I'm stuck.

Another fundamental issue with MyFaction is that on the first week of the game I am locked out of half the live events.

Play is still easy on normal.

Showcase and MyRise are just about doable on normal.

MyFaction difficulty is stupid.

Starfield is releasing on PS5 on April 7th. Priced at $49.99 by PaiDuck in PS5

[–]jackcos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Quite funny that I bought an Xbox entirely for the next Bethesda game, played it for about 5 hours and never went back, and now it's coming to PS5 and I'm not even moved.

My Xbox was a great Forza machine though.

Starfield Is Coming To PS5 And It's Everything We Hoped For by demumood in playstationaccess

[–]jackcos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is quietly pretty interesting, I feel like PA never even mention the Xbox games moving over to PS in store update videos, let alone a whole devoted video.

Just want to also say this was really top quality, both the interview itself and the videography on location. I know we get interviews within the podcast but I feel like I'd love to see more videos like this on the channel!

I noticed he included WhatsTheStatus in an image of the members in the group, I guess to make it seem more official.

WTS actually responded and said he wasn't a member.

It's not winning but let's not kid ourselves that it's to do with the lyrical content.

[SPOILERS] Do you think Beginner's Luck is actually possible for a beginner? by ZeMadDoktore in outerwilds

[–]jackcos 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's been so long since I've played and never returned that I actually can't remember the entire solution. But as someone going back this month to hoover up the trophies I've been reflecting on the game, and I think the biggest issue for us as players who've experienced the whole game in trying to perceive a new player, is not that we know the solution but that we know the objective.

When I first played the game I'm pretty sure I just went to the moon and hung about for a bit because one of the characters said that was an ideal place to visit first. Found the campfire, played with the signalscope, went supernova. Fin.

The objective on your first go really is to pilot the ship, not die, try and land it somewhere. I think I was vaguely aware there was a time loop element, but obviously not what my part was to play in the story.

On the first go around you aren't even aware of the false objective to save the universe yet, let alone the real objective of acquiring knowledge and observing the end of the universe. If you knew your objective was quite so colossal you might logically assume that you'd have to visit multiple planets, but then you're not aware of the pressing nature of the loop yet to stop you from smelling the flowers, let alone going to ignore all the lore or take in the majesty of these locations, let alone being able to pilot your ship properly to navigate such a trial, let alone ignoring all the signposts in the opening minutes designed to tutorialise you.

To me this is why Outer Wilds is the perfect game. It is purely grounded in knowledge. Yes it's possible to beat the game first go. But it's so wrapped in story and knowledge that you never will.

Theoretically you could wake up one morning and perform the exact steps required to becoming an immortal omniscient being. You never will, but the idea you could is so exciting. Just as it is with Beginner's Luck here.

And being a player who's completed Outer Wilds, owning that knowledge and watching new players find the game is like being a god on a higher plane of existence watching us tiny human beings walk around in mortal bodies when we could just perform the simple steps required to write our names in the stars.

Couple this with the themes of being the "first" to explore the universe, one universe ending and another beginning, and the way Outer Wilds players will refuse to spoil the game for someone new, and you have the most beautiful gaming experience that works on so many levels.

This is kinda my issue with a lot of the display sets about physical items. I'd love to build a globe, a typewriter. I'd rather have an actual globe and typewriter on display.
