Unfortunately there’s no shocked Pikachu face, because industry doesn’t care about consumers. They’re getting truckloads of money from AI companies, so it doesn’t matter to them that Joe Blow can’t afford things anymore.

Except it doesn’t have trackpads. I guess that’s fine for a lot of people, but I imagine there’s quite a few PC gamers who want the portability along with the ability to play games without proper controller support.

The cat in the second picture looks to be roughly the same size as the humans in the first picture, so shouldn’t have an issue catching tuna.

That was my first thought, but the presence of the Kodan threw me. It does make sense though.

Since this is set in Orr, I’m assuming it’ll be another time jump, as it looks quite different!

I wonder what their plans are for GW2 to make sure certain content remains accessible with a dwindling population. Fingers crossed for some kind of heroes system like in GW1!

Heroic does support achievements, you just have to enable Comet support in the settings.

I love story-based games, so it’s a big motivating factor when choosing what I want to play. However I love all sorts of games, so it’s not the only factor. And sometimes when I’ve played a couple story-heavy games in a row, I’ll look for something else to break things up.

I will be quite forgiving of a game if it has a strong story, but that’s not to say gameplay isn’t important. I don’t play many visual novels, because the genre doesn’t appeal to me. I’d rather read a book or watch a movie or series in that case.

For games without story, I tend to only stick with them if they have something for me to strive towards, engaging gameplay isn’t generally enough. It needs to have achievements or collectibles or distinct levels to beat for me to find it engaging. I don’t play arena shooters for that reason, I just don’t enjoy them.

If you have an original Paperwhite, your device is going to lose internet access next month, so make sure you make a backup of all your ebooks before then.

Luckily I have the Paperwhite 2 from 2013 so I’ll be able to keep using mine for now. But I’ll be backing up everything anyway because it’s only a matter of time before Amazon comes for my device too. I’ll not be buying another Kindle once mine is no longer functional.

It’s funny how they’re still considered to be the sequels developer, despite the fact the last one they released on commission was Dungeon Siege 3 back in 2011. Since then, all of their releases have been original titles, although some were part of other franchises like South Park, and they did get brought in to collaborate on a couple games which were free-to-play and therefore pretty forgettable.

Their earliest original title was Alpha Protocol. Fantastic game, it’s a shame it didn’t sell very well. Sega owns the rights as the publisher and they don’t seen interested in doing anything with it.

Arguably their biggest original was Pillars of Eternity, which broke a few records when they launched the funding campaign on Kickstarter.

A professional tennis serve often reaches speeds up to 230km/h, with the fastest recorded being 263km/h. So yeah, the balls wear out quickly.
