Yep - ‘open with m365 copilot’ has such a ring to it. Why they threw out their decades recognisable office branding is beyond me

That is nice! LG just did it differently - it didn’t just feel like a rectangular slab. Plus I never put a case on it with a back like that.

That picture brings back memories - such a nice phone

Yeah I was going to say I order from inkstation (Australia) and have never had an issue with third party toner or drums. And they’re a quarter of the price of an original!

Baby race especially

That and the Prometheans were just so unsatisfying as enemies.

The teleporting away (and appearing randomly), how you didn’t seem to visibly hurt them / bullet sponge, disappearing on death etc all contributed to it feeling like a chore to off them.

5 was a bit better but still nowhere near the fun of 1-3/reach/odst

I found this study which would suggest it’s ballpark correct, depending on your weight and what you’re carrying

Does the banana for scale have a source for its measurement? I can see 1 banana is 17.8cm.
Presumably that’s an average?

I do like that you can keep the stats of gear you’re wearing but change the appearance of it to anything you’ve collected before. Nice to actually be able to look good and have good gear.

One thing I’ve done is turn off the Minimap. It’s made it more interesting - I actually pay attention to the landscape details and the golden path thing is actually useful. Just wish you could keep a compass visible.

I just bought a steam deck, and bought hogwarts legacy when it was on sale a while back on a friend’s recommendation.

Decided to give it a try - such a great game! I tend to compare opens world’s to Skyrim, and the detail in the quests is so much better. It’s not just ‘clear this dungeon’. Plus they’ve really thought about what sucks about those other games and really tried to avoid them. Plays great on the steam deck too, I’ve got it capped at 45fps and it never skips a beat.

I don’t think I’ve had this much enjoyment from a gaming device ever. I’ve done the console and game pass on the phone mounted controller, and that was not very consistent. The instant pause/resume button is a game changer with young kids waking up in the night.

Not at all bothered by performance - in fact I’ve seeing articles about how ‘this windows handheld beats the steam deck in tflops’ but an constantly thinking - 'yes, but it’s a handheld. Is it good at that? Battery life, pick up and go etc are super relevant, not just performance.

Bit of a tangent there, but I am having a great gaming time.

This is what news.com.au in Australia (Murdoch media) sees as peak journalism.
They’ll regularly trawl Reddit and twitter for ‘stories’ and how the public reaction (read: 1 comment) is.

It’s become a bit of a joke in the Australia subreddit to ask to be included in the screenshot.

Could it have something to do with how long the US election cycle is? It seems that basically the whole term is full campaign mode for the next election.

Compare to other countries with much shorter official election campaigns (4-6 weeks) and I wonder if they are less tiring.

Porque no los dos?

I love that there’s a relevant Posy video that is only 22hrs old

I think so, it doesn’t look like any device from here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_(PDA).

The logo is from the first palms, but it’s way too curvy

My mind read that as ‘hearing challenged voters’ and thought ‘geez I wonder how loud they had the pa’

That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.
