I doubt they'll drop them with the Switch 2, but it's an inevitablity that it will happen in the future. Physical game sales are becoming pitifully low.

Seeing as digital-only seems to be the future whether we like it or not, this seems like a good initiative.

Not a real story because it didn't end with "...and then everyone clapped".

Brave New World is definitely the more prescient of the two.

1984 has elements to it that have come true, but the overall theme of BNW of oversaturation of entertainment is definitely accurate to reality nowadays.

Thanks for coming.

Out June 26th, with pre-orders starting from March 17th.

Sooner than I expected it to be out!

Physical media has been dying for years. If you look at the sales statistics between physical and digital, it makes for grim reading if you care about physical media.

75% of game sales in Europe in 2024 were digital. In 2022, 90% of game sales in the UK were digital. It's a similar story pretty much everywhere. And whilst there's a lot of noise on the internet about how bad a digital-only future would be, the average consumer doesn't care.

This is why I love the Quick Tap feature on Pixel phones.

I suppose it might go down well with some of his base who love the "macho" shit, but the rest of the world are looking on with disgust.

In some ways, this has probably worked out well for Ukraine, as it might focus minds in Europe. Though I do wish Zelenskyy had pointed out the $350bn in aid lie that Trump keeps spouting.

Yes, extra security for your personal information is so irritating.

Did Trump and Vance think this embarrassing display made them look the better of the leaders?

Because it really didn't.

 

I'm about to start a new job working in an arcade and diner and want to wear some earplugs for when I'm working in the noisiest parts on-site, partly to protect my hearing but also to make it easier to hear customers and colleagues over the noise.

Do you guys have any recommendations for brands or particular earplugs types that would be good for this purpose?

 

I've got a couple of e-mail addresses with the main providers, but I'm looking to switch to an ad-free and more secure provider.

I've been looking at ProtonMail, but what do you guys use or recommend?

 

As the title says. PS5 is a pain in the arse for not putting patch notes on the console and I hate having to scour the internet to try and find what's new in an update. Whether it be "join our Discord" or Facebook pages or hoping someone posts it in a subreddit.

So are there any sites or apps that do this well?

 

I've got a job interview on Tuesday and I haven't had one for a while due to a period of unemployment because of family health issues.

One part of interviews I've always struggled with is when they first ask you to tell them about yourself. I struggle to talk about myself anyway and never know what they'd like me to actually say, whether it's about me as a person or about my work history.

So any tips or tricks would be welcome.

 

I have an Emma Original Pillow that I've had for three years and the support is basically non-existent now, so I wake up in the night and end up with neck and shoulder pain.

I've tried a Panda Hybrid pillow and a Simba Hybrid firm pillow but neither were any good to me. The Panda was too low for sleeping on my back and the Simba didn't have the support I needed. If I was purely a side sleeper it would be probably be okay, but of course I have to be awkward.

I generally prefer memory foam pillows, but it's been so long since I've had a good night's sleep, I'm willing to try anything.

 

I'm a lover of physical books but I'm looking to get an e-reader as well, for those books that are hard to find physical copies of, or are just very expensive.

I've ruled out Onyx, because I try to avoid Chinese tech as it's usually poorly made. But I'm not sure whether Kindle or Kobo is best. Is being tied to Amazon's ecosystem too restricting? Are the Kobo e-readers compatible with everything you need? Which ones have the best screens, ideally how a physical book would look?

So many questions, but hopefully some of you can help. 😁

 

I've suffered with anxiety since I was a kid, and things like CBT don't seem to work for me at all. I know pills from the doctor are available, but I only want to go down that route as a last resort.

So does anyone have any experience with CBD products for treating anxiety? The reviews online seem mixed on whether they actually work.

 

Looking to attend a Comic Con for the first time next month and I want to meet Nolan North for either a photo or an autograph.

I know neither of them will give you much time with the guest, but which do you think is the best value for money?

 

Loved this game and can't wait for this DLC to play more of it.

 

Almost like it was a non-starter. Who could have possibly foreseen that?
