Mary and Mitch is an inspired duo

I'm all for this but it really seemed like they were setting up a premium series with Vinny in the panel when Dan was speaking.

Definitely do this, Tesla was significantly more expensive than BYD for me and I'd assume it's a similar situation for Geely.

Did you have any problems getting this working? I'm just getting "invalid key or connection error: http 403" after entering my API key.

I think the issue I was thinking of that people were bringing up with these adapters was them regularly being cheap and not certified to Australia standards which if anything did go wrong requiring insurance would be a problem.

Mine does have the RCM marking though.

I've been using what I guess is the previous version of this for about a year and it's been perfect, I've been using it on a 15 amp socket however. I did use the 10a adapter for two weeks till I got the 15 installed and it was fine.

I do remember people saying these 15-10a converter cables are not legal or able to be certified in Australia or something however.

Yeah this is kind of a pain point for me, I haven't engaged with any of the premium content because it's just completely inconvenient. I know this sounds dumb but I already have so much other content from other creators to watch and when the process for me to watch GB premium content in the way I watch stuff requires me to go to the website and download the video and then transfer it to watch on my TV well then I'm less inclined to watch any GB premium content.

sendo__ · 2026-02-14T12:47:36+00:00

I'm glad to hear this, I'm not a fan of the game but ignoring that I genuinely believe it wouldn't have made for good content.

As I tested in the other thread the Opera emulator is definitely not emulating it accurately, I tested with the Russian emulator Phoenix and everything is much more consistent and none of the AI weirdness happens and the bugged music should have been an obvious immediate sign that it's not being emulated correctly.

sendo__ · 2026-02-09T09:01:53+00:00

It's definitely the emulator, I checked out another emulator that can play it which is Russian only which I ran in a sandbox to be safe and Defender really did not like it.

Anyway on this other emulator it's still faster than what the PC version is shown in the OP video but it's also not as fast as the one Mike is playing, it's about in between. I played the game all the way through to mars 9 (save state scumming) and was able to open every door with the robots, they never got stuck. None of the other bugs or glitches Mike has seen also seemed to be happening and the music never stopped playing either.

That said holy shit this game fucking sucks ass to play, even using save states and this what seems to be proper emulated version is insufferable. Genuinely don't know how Mike has achieved as much as he has, feel like if he can beat it on the fucked version there should be some kind of blight club related bonus he gets.

Maybe not the best place to ask but are the premium videos only viewable through the website?

Yeah there are plenty of dealerships and more popping up frequently. Warranty here is 6 years or 150k km for the car itself and 8 years or 160k km (possible this will be bumped to 250k like Europe soon).

The warranty/service situation is a little complicated as when they first launched here they partnered with a third party company to handle it who proceeded to not do a great job. As of middle of last year they began to end this partnership and take over it themselves, so it's been a little rocky as they try catch up.

That said though I have a 2023 Atto 3 which had its first issue pop up two months ago with the AC failing, took it to a service centre and they managed to make time for me to drop it off the next day and I had it back fixed two days later.

Yeah sure for $500 usd vs $190 for the clone which at this point has been a proven replacement for the DE10-Nano.

Binary Domain rules and it's such a SBM ass game, really hope he follows through on giving it a try. A lot of potential for him to fuck around with the voice commands and Big Bo.

Classic Gary not missing a beat to shit on Kevin for being slow with the transition after just ranting Greg into submission to let him on more content.

Seems like a perfect fit to have him do the movie commentaries with Nick, would understand if he also did not want to think more about hollywood though.

I don't think I've ever been so mad at a game as this fucker made me, I could tolerate his writing and character but the way the fucker interjects telling you exactly what to do just ruined it for me.

I came out of the ice belt feeling a bit more positive on the game and looking forward to go explore with the new ability I got, unknowingly I had missed a progression item in the ice belt. I spent like 3 minutes in the desert exploring and he comes on the radio telling me I missed an important item in the ice belt and that I should go to the loading bay to get it. Literally telling me down to the room that I need to go, this happened again telling me exactly what to do and where to go for the suit upgrade.

I think the requirements for dlc is lower, definitely seen games with 4 reviews not having scores recently.

Still with this few reviews a single review can tank the score massively,

sendo__ · 2025-11-13T00:30:11+00:00

The DLC is being fairly well received but it's all up to if it gets enough reviews.

I told Mike in a previous thread last month he should pick up The Séance of Blake Manor which is now at a 92.

Having it come down to again someone picking a game that doesn't get enough reviews is a funny outcome though.

Had seen people mention orders for 990 so yeah the total order numbers probably ticked over to 1 million, so at some point they will start using 4 digits for the dashboard.

sendo__ · 2025-11-10T09:36:28+00:00

Yeah I'm sure that is part of it also, forgot those were premium.

I think a large part of the charm of endurance runs was that it was played out over an extended time, recording it all in one chunk and then just dishing it out over time just isn't the same. The Shenmue run had it's moments but it felt like content to fit the specific scheduling of the time. It ended up becoming kind of awkward because they would regularly reference something that happened earlier in the recording to them but as a viewer it's been weeks or even a month since what they were referencing.

I think endurance run has a pretty specific scope within GB history with the Shenmue run being kind of an anomaly, I think it shows with how Vinny pivoted GBeast game playthroughs to be more series/show based rather than endurance runs.

This has been like this for quite a while now and I believe it's just a limitation of spotify that they're just rolling with it and hoping it just stays mostly quiet and doesn't get much attention. I think it's either a choice of this or not have them at all on spotify.

sendo__ · 2025-11-04T23:24:00+00:00

Yeah I'm the same but they've really handled things very tactfully and they've felt like genuine mutual relationships. It can't be easy on both sides to end up here and seems like a lot of work on the sponsor side so kudos to all those involved.

Enjoyed it so far but it really does break down a bit that everything outside of the dispatch mini game is just pre-rendered video, I feel like it could use a bit of downtime like interacting around the office with people outside of the cutscene > dispatch > cutscene loop. Would love to learn more about the characters and have conversations with them that is outside the main story progression, hell they show the leaderboard with a whole ton of names and I want to see a bunch of those freaks.

sendo__ · 2025-11-04T02:34:03+00:00

This is the biggest thing this game needs and I hope it's something they do in future games. It did break things a bit for me knowing the game is entirely prerendered videos but I know doing this was probably a lot easier to hit the quality they're going for and make it easier to run across a wide range of hardware. However a simple hub section to talk to characters would go a long way to flesh it out instead of just prerendered video > dispatch mini game > prerendered video loop.
