Bless its little socks, but that Gif just about sums it up, don't worry though you just need duel 4090ti's to run it properly as the devs intended.

Saw enough reviews to make me wait a while before dipping into Stalker 2...149gb download so I definitely want it to be improved before i commit to that lol

I've started the download, should take about 20 mins, but the reviews so far are not great, there are some that are mostly positive, so I'll see how it is, so long as I'm not waiting for servers to say I can play it

Wish I had Full Fibre. Sadly getting Open Reach to talk to the Freeholder for permission to install is a non starter. ☹️

The rumour seems odd, I expect it to happen but focusing on PS5 when it's years out from release. I'd have to assume it was just something that played PS5 games and down specced PS6 games too

Metroid Prime 1-3: A Visual Retrospective will be available Summer 2025, just in time to coincide with the release of Metroid Prime Fo...phffft, okay bad joke. But the book is real and officially licenced.

End of an era, a lot of the originals that founded PlayStation at Sony are retiring or retired, but 30+ years in 1 job is a long time, so enjoy Shuhei.
