My friends who grew up outside Oz find it weird that to me “it ain’t Christmas unless it’s scorching hot”. To me the idea of having a cold Christmas is the odd one.

Value is correct in this instance, I think.

The number of shares and the price people are willing to pay for those shares is how “value” is calculated, I think.

In contrast, “wealth” would be how much money they have in the bank.

That’s really great news for Owlcat! Hopefully with the upcoming final DLC for Wrath of the Righteous they can iron out a few remaining bugs and get that verified too!

Why not just have both a male and female voice, and ideally one that’s as neutral as possible?

Finally managed to get my hands on a Deck this last week. Been having a blast with both Hades 2 and Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous.

I was a bit worried with Pathfinder since it’s not verified, but I figured the controller scheme would be functional since they have a console version. So far I’ve been quite impressed with how smoothly it controls.

I’s often just carnal desire which results in the death of something to the tune of ~80 billion (with a “B”) animals every year that didn’t really need to be slaughtered.

I’m genuinely curious: what’s the vegans’ answer to the question of “what happens to the cattle and other livestock if everyone on the planet turned vegan tomorrow?”. It’s not like they can just be let loose…

Realistically the amount of livestock is not sustainable and they’d need to be culled in gargantuan numbers so that they don’t go from a “managed” ecological disaster to an “out of control” ecological disaster. And then you get the slaughter without the benefit of feeding billions of hungry people.

That was very quick! I expected the technical test to go on much longer than that!

Now it’ll be the dilemma of “do I buy it in early access knowing that it’ll be only a fraction of the content, or do I wait for 1.0?”

The “M” would be for mezzanine, which is usually either a floor that’s small or at an intermediate height between main floors.

Yes.

It’s great to see a studio clearly and transparently taking on user feedback. So often these demos feel like they’re only for drumming up sales and nothing more.

As someone who’s only dabbled in Homeworld before, I’m now excited to revisit the remaster and potentially buy #3 whereas before I had only passing interest.

I think it’s the case that the “easy to work with” people at WotC got fired and Larian realised that they wouldn’t have carte blanche on future projects like they did for BG3.

I’ve got a pair of Loops and they’re absolutely game changing for me. I never realised how draining / overstimulating it was for me to go to shopping centres and restaurants until I suddenly didn’t have to deal with a barrage of noise.

I personally have the Loop Quiet, and can’t recommend them enough.

It’s funny, I’ve gotten so many questions from colleagues and friends about them at events over the last six months, and even though they’re (to my knowledge) allistic every single person has thought they’re a brilliant idea. I know I’ve “sold” at least 3 pairs out of half a dozen conversations about them.

Amongst other things for different kinds of stimulation, I am occasionally able to get my wife to do tippy taps when I can make her delightfully surprised, and it’s the most adorable thing ever.

Still not available in Australia. Why does Gaben hate us?

This looks very good, and their track record based on the Ori games is very promising!

Also, correct me if I’m willing but was that Malukah singing the song? I’m keen to add that song on my Spotify if I can but I can’t see any new tracks for her.

That’s a fair point. Maybe it comes down to “is this something that you expect should have been in the game to begin with, or is it something extra that the Devs have added over and beyond?”.

Definitely a very broad term to the point of near-meaninglessness though.

Congratulations to all the winners - they’re all very well deserved! No surprises here (though very pleased) to see BG3 clean house.

It’s very unfortunate for Insomniac that SM2 didn’t get any wins, but it goes to show how crazy good this year has been for gamers!

I think there’s a distinction - I would consider an “update” with new content to be something minor (such as BG3’s recent epilogue content). “Free DLC” to me is a much more hefty addition, such as the Godmaster DLC for Hollow Knight.

(Disclaimer: I’ve not watched this trailer since I’m at work)

Not in Australia either (as usual)…

I read that the other day, and it’s such bullshit. All that should matter is that you can pass the test.

My wife has been officially diagnosed for about 18 months now, and while we’ve talked about getting me formally diagnosed we’ve now decided there’s no upside to me getting it since I pass as NT there’s so much stigma to deal with that it’s just not worth it.
