4DX for the movie was enjoyable. 4DX for the trailers and adverts, dreadful. It's a very divisive format.

I once did some corporate videos using this set up with another person. It's striking that something that looks fine when viewed on a screen is deeply within another person's personal space. Actors have to suck it up and make it look natural but its deeply uncomfortable.

Always a good idea to not include the game. These things often don't turn up on time.

Unless 'ultimate' and 'complete' editions have future content patched in. That would be fine.

'Messing up' is forgetting to wash the dishes. Failing to pay people properly to the tune of 100+ million goes well beyond 'we messed up'... 🤔

I remember the first time finding there was just a little too much 'filler' once you reached the settlement of Paititi. Last time I shrugged some of that away and enjoyed it so much more.

I know she has since attempted to justify it as benign (without apology). I don't condone it. I have elderly relatives capable of similar blunders, though age is no excuse.

I feel this deeply. I love gaming and look forward to game releases with optimism, enjoying games for what they are. But for many it must be a self-imposed existence of angst and misery. 🤔

Between $250 & $400 million is spent on the 0.000001% p/a chance that an asteroid collision will wipe us out. On that basis, £2.5 to £4 quadrillion (a million million) should be spent on a 10% chance that AI will wipe us out. 🤔

The Dutch are similarly twitchy. You need to choose citizenship, you can't have two. Before Brexit it wasn't an issue of course.

Thankfully it also offers non-lethal options. I never liked GTAV because of its mandatory blood lust. I disliked killing police or even 'non-evil aligned' guards in games. So to see R* introduce more nuance and the ability to play as a rogue, not a psychopath is a win. gamerant.com/gta-6-non-le...

Ah, the penny has dropped at Gamescom. Good. E3 died, in part, because of the disregard paid to the people that went there. Gamescom's reversal is better late than never and a necessary step to recover the reputation of the event. 🤔

Most reasonable people who buy a digital game expect it to be available for them to play 'indefinitely'. Not to disappear because of 'ownership' nonsense. Or some random other reason that meant movies people bought suddenly evaporated. Sony's semantic fight is souring their customer base. 🤔
