  Looks like your optimizer link didn't make it into the post. Good shout on Cemu, btw, as I'm wondering if I'd like BotW.

  I gave the build a go and it was great fun!

  But will the reining in end the reign?

  I have fond memories of Weebl and Bob and Charlie the Unicorn...

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Next Xbox Rumors Surface; No Devkits Available to Developers Yet (aiming for 2027)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like I'm never going to have a reason to buy a current generation console.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Atomfall Hands-On Preview: Rebellion’s New IP is More Than Just British Fallout - WGB article⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I watched the video they released the other day and stopped half way through. It looked rather dull and also ugly, unfortunately.

  How is there no middleware available for NPC movement? It looked tremendously stilted. Similarly the lighting and environments looked worse than things I was playing fifteen years ago. I don't need cutting edge but it looks distractingly ugly to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Favourite Mario Kart game?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mechanically I like 64. I'd like a few more tracks, particularly for the battle mode. The later versions add far too much cruft for my tastes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mid game review: Superliminal (2019) PS5⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I really hoped I'd like Superliminal but ultimately I found it lacking in charisma and was tired of it by the time I reached the end. 6/10 is about what I'd rate it. Serviceable but mediocre.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaming chat platform Discord in early talks with banks about public listing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As we all know, UI is a fundamental part of any piece of software's architecture and cannot be changed without a ground-up rewrite.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tony Hawk's™ Pro Skater™ 3 + 4 | Reveal Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn't that what the Skate series is for?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Demo released for Fallout Revelation Blues, a mod that aims to recreate Black Isle's canceled Fallout 3 game in Fallout: New Vegas⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish I could get past how ugly and small that engine makes places look.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The UK must make big changes to its diets, farming and land use to hit net zero – official climate advisers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is something that irks me about how we have things setup at the moment. Farming produces food. Put money in, get food out. The notion that it also needs to make money is putting the cart before the horse. Yay capitalism.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS5 Pro sales ‘have fallen behind PS4 Pro in the US⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn't really call it a "trap". If you're buying a console when it's new at full price, sure, you're being taken for a ride, but give it a couple of years for stuff to be cheaper and it can work out reasonably well.

  I used to be a major PC gamer but eventually the cost/benefit calculation went completely off the rails.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS5 Pro sales ‘have fallen behind PS4 Pro in the US⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What would I even play on it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox Sales Hit Rock Bottom After Historic 2024 Decline⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I'm still waiting for enough titles to come out on either platform to make the jump from my Xbox One X.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Onboarding experience needs to be simpler for mass adoption⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Mass adoption did not end well for Earth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK there are other Pixelfed mobile clients than the flagship app (that include dark mode!)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That's the thing that irks me when people are elitist about dark mode. Sorry I can't use your edgy dark app with my feeble scrub eyes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK there are other Pixelfed mobile clients than the flagship app (that include dark mode!)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I've noticed that. My instance doesn't provide unlimited storage and I'd much rather crop and resize my pictures before upload. Not having tools for that is a bit of a deal breaker for me.

  Of course, I could edit the images separately but it rather limits what I can be bothered to post as a result.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK there are other Pixelfed mobile clients than the flagship app (that include dark mode!)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn't seem to have any image editing functionality..?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨someone tell Luigi about this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Got the attachment for shooting down police helicopters?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WH Smith in secret talks to sell historic high street arm⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I'm pushing 40 and I don't remember when I last bought anything from WH Smiths. I used to go in all the time as a teenager but these days they seem to not have a niche. They're a zombie chain.

  I don't know what I'd want them to do, but they should have done it fifteen years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you see yourself cutting off by a generation of gaming?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lots of those aren't out yet, so the list is even shorter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung, Google take on Dolby Atmos with new 'Eclipsa Audio'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Samsung and Google? Two companies well known for maintaining tech long term rather than getting bored within a few months.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What procedures do you take to save and archive your games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don't, because if that happens either others will have done a more thorough job (because it's something they care about - I have my own obsessive areas that I'm the one doing that stuff for), or if they haven't then I have much bigger problems to deal with (e.g. war in Europe).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GTA 6 will have a 'significant online mode' to generate revenue for years into the future⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh joy. What an important cultural contribution that will be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I've finally been playing through Mad Professor Mariarti on the Amiga. I saw it played many times as a child but now I'm finally playing it myself - and beating it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Patient gamers, which games have you discovered/played this week?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is why I cannot abide the Halo series. I came to them having been raised on Quake, Unreal Tournament, and Half-Life. Halo was like moving through molasses.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New measures unveiled to crack down on subscription traps⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I've spent much of my adult life with nothing positive to say about our governments. I'm not really emotionally prepared for being pleased about something a UK government is doing!

  I absolutely loved the modern day story. I was so very invested and it still smarts a bit that they lost interest in doing it justice.
