    Most recently, Bugsnax on PC.

    I will say that it’s a relatively fun game, definitely unique gameplay what with catching snacky bugs, but I do find it a little confusing. And yes, there’s something to be said about figuring out how to catch each bugsnack being part of the challenge, but oftentimes there’s no indication on how to even start attempting a catch.

    The in-game tips barely help any, and you’re pretty much left on your own, while the developers (in a recent NoClip interview) pat themselves on the back about how intuitive it feels. To me, at least, it doesn’t feel all that intuitive. It can be fun, though I’d love a fast travel option included, with more useful hints.

    Maybe that says more about myself than the game, to be honest.

    7/10 rating.

    This is about where I’m at. And what’s got me excited is that my company has made our entire division a permanent work from home situation, even once all of this blows over.

    These days I wake up, have a cup of coffee, turn on my laptop, work until 4 PM and can immediately start doing what I want to do, instead of being stuck in traffic.

    I’ve always wanted to work from home, so this is rather akin to living the dream for me.

    If it comes to a desktop version of Xcloud that would be amazing. Sadly, while I have the disk space, my graphics card just doesn’t hold up, lagging to hell and back on the lowest of the lowest...

    If it comes to a desktop version of Xcloud that would be amazing. Sadly, while I have the disk space, my graphics card just doesn’t hold up, lagging to hell and back on the lowest of the lowest settings. Such a shame.

    Honestly you can do a lot with an iPhone these days, and even more once iOS 14 releases. That said, my iPhone is jailbroken and will never not be, so I will grant that I have a lot more...

    Honestly you can do a lot with an iPhone these days, and even more once iOS 14 releases. That said, my iPhone is jailbroken and will never not be, so I will grant that I have a lot more customisability than most iPhone users.

    I fully agree with you. I can't wait for the day that electric vehicles become more the norm. Hell, where I live they're really hard to come by and extremely expensive to boot. Tesla won't come to...

    I fully agree with you. I can't wait for the day that electric vehicles become more the norm. Hell, where I live they're really hard to come by and extremely expensive to boot. Tesla won't come to my country as we don't offer tax breaks for electric vehicles, which is a real shame IMO.

    I think a big one will be how we've treated the earth, alongside climate change deniers. While there is a lot of awareness surrounding climate change, and some countries are doing something about it, not nearly are doing nearly enough to turn around the direction we're heading in.

    I think 100 years from now the world will look back on this period in time ashamed of how previous generations treated the planet.

    I've been working on a basic template generator for where I work. We use templates when updating tickets and using the site I built is a lot quicker than manually editing a text template differently each time.

    Trying to lobby for API integration with our ERP/CRM system so wish me luck!
