    Far Cry 6

    A friend of mine leant me her PS4 copy of the game, which immediately gave me access to the PS5 version. My initial thoughts: - The FOC seems a little too small with no way to change it. - What the hell was up with the driving and shooting controls? It was like they gave all these options to...

    Elon said today they now have the parts to make the Octo, but they aren't ready at the time of the flight.

    Lab grown meat

    But is their vegan sausage roll as good as a meat substitute, or is it just a good product in itself?

    I was just thinking the same thing. Outstanding!

    Red Dead Redemption 2: Journey to the Old West

    I thought the graphics were pretty amazing, especially as I'm playing on the original PS4. I did find that when looking around the camera doesn't always focus to infinity, leading the backgrounds to be slightly blurry and out of focus. I don't know if that was implemented to get around a...

    The SpaceX Thread

    I think the only other thing they could do is have another ship with comms close by (as close as is safe) with either a skilled camera operator or some automated tech to focus on the drone ship from a distance, so that the wash from the rocket doesn't interfere with the comms.

    Starman is out there, but we probably won’t see him again until 2047

    It was fairly dumb. It had some kind of battery to be able to play the Bowie music when the farings came off, but they would have died pretty quickly. There were no additional sensors on it and no transmitters. It's standard protocol to launch a 'mass simulator' (concrete block) to simulate the...

    Red Dead Redemption 2: Journey to the Old West

    That 'special' pen from one of the debtors (I think?) also doesn't carry over. I was saving that for no good reason. But all your cigarette cards, food, the satchel and so on carry over- even though the satchel in the epilogues doesn't look the same. :( Last night task was to get all the...

    Red Dead Redemption 2: Journey to the Old West

    Now I'm done with the story missions I'm going to attempt the 100% completion trophy, although I'm sure it'll break me and I wont finish it. Thankfully you don't have to do everything but there's a ton to do (all the 9 challenges for example) And one of the 100% challenges is this:

    Red Dead Redemption 2: Journey to the Old West

    So I just got done with the final story mission. Rockstar Social Club says I've spent 75 hours in game. Man, that's a lot. There is still plenty to do of course. I've barely scratched the surface of the challenges, for example. I guess I should try for 100% completion. I feel pretty comfortable...

    Saigon to Hanoi (or vice versa) by Motorbike - I have a dream...

    Do it. I did a three day motorcycle tour of Vietnam covering about 500km last year, and it was fantastic. Outside of the cities the scenery is amazing. It can be quite mad in the cities but perfectly fine as long as you ride predictably. No sudden changes of direction, etc. heySkippy, I've...

    Red Dead Redemption 2: Journey to the Old West

    Absolutely. Here's a link to it on Spotify. https://open.spotify.com/track/6oVlQDwN ... HMfI4WzBhw I'd recommend not listening to it here unless you've already done that part of the game. The first time should definitely be experienced-in game, in my opinion.

    Red Dead Redemption 2: Journey to the Old West

    I did part one of the Veteran in Chap 6, but have held off doing the other parts until after Chapter 6. He's got a lovely horse. Last night I completed chapter 6. I'm not ashamed to say that as Arthur rides back to camp towards the end that chapter, I definitely had something in my eye... 70...

    Red Dead Redemption 2: Journey to the Old West

    I'm 65 hours in with nearly 40 story mode missions remaining. Just started Chapter 6. Despite spending a little time getting the ultimate satchel and whatnot, I'm starting to think I just want to get on with the story otherwise I'll be playing forever. Is there anything I should be doing...

    Perpetual Watch Thread

    I recently found this watch company's website. They allow quite extensive customisation of their Urban collection (quartz) and their Aqua collection (automatic). You can even customise the hour/minute hands and the second hands separately. I really like the art deco Vintage watchface with the...

    I've never even bothered to fire up the online side of RD2. Something tells me I'd hate it.
