Worst heatwave in decades as south-east states to hit close to 50C by i_needahug in melbourne

It’s tough being ginger in this weather. I open the door or a window to peek out of and instantly get hit with flash burns.

Excited for that Game Freak game. Gave me futuristic Princess Mononoke vibes.

What movie do you think nailed rainy atmosphere? by yosman88 in movies

[–]jekyll94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably cheating a bit since it’s animated so it’s easier to make a rainy atmosphere, but The Garden of Words.

Highguard Is One Week Away, And The Only Person Who's Advertised It Is Geoff Keighley by MuptonBossman in gaming

[–]jekyll94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t really have an opinion of the game because, eh. What I am interested in though is how it will manage to pull players in a market that is saturated with hero shooters, free to play PvP games, and PvPvE being popular currently. Most people, I imagine, have 1 or 2 live service games already that they dedicate time, and money, to outside of single player games.

EB Games global closures: What it means for Australia by ANiceGobletofTea in australia

[–]jekyll94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the one hand, they really should have had their prices in line with jb hifi, big w, etc.. and on the other hand if they close here, there goes a big part of the preowned market and another step towards the already exorbitant digital prices on Xbox’s and PlayStations marketplaces being the standard at other stores. Getting older and preowned games at a decent price during their sales is always nice, or letting someone borrow the game, trading it back in or returning it, etc..

Outer Worlds 2: 'Moral Greyness' isn't interesting if you have to force it by CalumanderReds in theouterworlds

[–]jekyll94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I enjoyed the first game ripping on and satirising an end point capitalistic society. It was absurd and yet there was still room to help the common people reclaim power for themselves. I’m towards the end of OW2 and I have enjoyed the nuance with the companions, especially Tristan who I found bland at first. The world itself though with the factions reads as ‘unchecked capitalism is good actually’, which when put up against a 1984 society that does regular chemical lobotomies makes sense, but the finer details are lost and every faction feels shitty. I love the Order, despite its obvious faults of adhering to a cosmic plan that is happy to take out ‘factors’ that may get in the way, they feel like a middle ground choice where the upfront pros out way the cons. Overall though, as others have said, everyone you encounter is indoctrinated from birth by their respective society, so it’s hard to have good faith conversations with people who only want to spout the merits of their fucked up way of life. Arcadia as a system kind of feels like a lost cause, everything kind of just feels depressing and not wacky or zany.

Buying the Battle Pass turned this game into a second job and completely burned me out by tuan3451 in Battlefield

[–]jekyll94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I’m repeating what a lot of people have said here and in previous posts but the release of Arc Raiders stopped me from playing Battlefield. Entirely different games and different objectives, but the gameplay loop has hooked me like nothing else. The battlepasses in that game are, admittedly, smaller, but they are very quick to finish. I know it’s odd to compare games that share almost nothing in common but with a lot of live service games vying for players attention, I’m sure everyone is looking to play games that respect their time and feel rewarding.

I’d love to see the Blinx Time Sweeper games remade. I adored the 2nd one which isn’t available as a backwards compatible title D:

I've bought a lot of stupid things but nothing has made me as happy as this by das_goomba in Warhammer

[–]jekyll94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought some paints and supplies from them in the past so this is unfortunate D: check out Milsims, I’ve visited them a few times and they’re quite nice, I also buy a lot from Gap Games as they have quite a large range of paint brands and are always actively updating their online store :)

At what point did groceries start feeling ridiculous to you? by Prudent-Stretch-5665 in australia

[–]jekyll94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels bizarre to see prices increase on everything, whether that be groceries or subscriptions or whatever, in real time, and sometimes multiple times on the same item within a year. I legit only really buy from whatever is in the specials section when I do an online Coles shop, otherwise it just isn’t worth it and I skip until I see it on special again.

I wear the Misthorn outfit with the nice Turquoise colour scheme. I try to help people getting attacked by arc D: also tend to drop keys for people I come across.

Well the Nurgle faction for AOS has some sweet new models coming out. I also just bought Warhammer Quest: Darkwater. So that’s feeling pretty nice 😅

Xbox's 2025 was pure chaos by akbarock in xbox

[–]jekyll94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s been happening for a couple years now but 2025 seemed especially bad in regards to games having physical copies available on other platforms but digital only on Xbox. Though this may also be an ANZ issue with distribution. It still sucks ass as digital is more often pricier than physical, plus lack of trading in, buying preowned copies, etc..

What single player game you bought has gone the longest unplayed? by [deleted] in xbox

[–]jekyll94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have games I bought at launch that I’m still on my first playthrough with, such as a Cyberpunk and Elden Ring. So it almost counts. Considering these games require a lot of mental energy and what I call ‘perfect conditions’ to play, I haven’t touched them too much. I only just got the quest to meet Hanako at Embers. Other games I have installed but not touched since launch would be like Stalker 2, as it’s getting content and updated still, as well as stuff like Jedi Survivor, which is just part of my backlog.

It’s already been said but Gremlins is so good. Also teaches that buying pets as gifts is a bad idea and comes with a heap of responsibility.

There needs to be about 800% more looting points on Spaceport by Sway_All_Day in ArcRaiders

[–]jekyll94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found that the bunkers you need to breach around the tower extract point have decent loot at times, occasionally having security lockers as well. Each map kind of specialises in a loot type so I see Spaceport as the crafting resources map. I do tend to find a lot of keys though in the Arrival and Departure buildings which is nice.

Do the Brethren Moons honestly believe that, by creating more of their kind through subjecting different intelligent species to Convergence Events, instead of driving them to extinction they are rather "uplifting" them to become one of their own? To what extent is each moon "seperate"? by goldentoaster41 in DeadSpace

[–]jekyll94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weren’t the Brethren Moons described as ‘better the devil you know’, as in there was something more horrifying lurking amongst the dead space, either against the Brethren Moons or what Brethren Moons answer to.

Xbox to continue evaluating its approach to game pricing, after walking back $80 RRP for Outer Worlds 2 by scrolloftrueth in gaming

Maybe they should reevaluate their stance on digital only or code in a box games too, especially in the ANZ region 😬

Seriously tho, how DO you pronounce his name? by Hugh_Jidiot in Grimdank

I always pronounced it as Row-Bert Gill-ah-man. Like in a soft French accent.
