I mean, what a way to put someone off giving you free cash to upgrade their sub. The level of incompetence is staggering.

Yeah, that's shocking. Also, how have they attributed value to a redemption code? They're bought in units of time for an amount of money.

They’re not, it’s only for subs discounted through Sony themselves.

Yeah, there’s a line between it being an actual gameplay mechanic or a nuisance. Like, if I had an inventory of just a few items, I wouldn’t feel bad about dropping most things because I know that’s what the game wants me to do.

I hate when you have a limited inventory, but it’s large enough so if/when you do fill it up, it takes an age to sort out. Then I need to make dozens of decisions about whether I’ll need something or not. Piss poor design.

Any player-friendly feature like being able to mark junk/sell all junk in one go/sell or drop useless tat automatically is good though.

It works for some games, like Resident Evil, where carrying a limited amount of ammo and herbs feeds into the horror and tension. Other games will dish out inventory upgrades as a reward for reaching milestones, for better or for worse.

If you can’t think of a reason for it to be there then don’t include it, but you just need to consider a decent way to sort and keep track of what you’ve collected!

(Disclaimer: I haven’t listened to the new pod yet, though I have read comments about it)
 

The main difference, I guess, is that before now it was recorded as live, and now it’ll be recorded and then edited. That’s the bit where a lot of podcasts fall down for me - it takes great skill to edit a piece of audio down but keep it sounding natural.

Yeah, I was excited about the 2D mode until I played it, then quickly switched back.

For some reason I thought you could just switch back and forth between them at will, but I was getting it mixed up with another game (Wonderboy, maybe?).

Any reasons why I can't find this on the PSN store? Delisted?

Can you play the 2d old school mode on the ps4 version? Did it get an update or is that dlc/ a switch only version?

Only the Definitive Edition, which is on PS4 too. It’s not available as an upgrade.

The 4.5 edition is now on Netflix. Thinking a double bill tonight of this and......Chip N Dale.

 

Good spot! Is it a Netflix exclusive or something?

How much new material is there? Is it just showing the new material or does it mix into the original?

The previous .5s have all been new footage, although none were quite as good as the main films (you could tell why they cut it out).

Holy shit, this is 146 minutes long.

Rise of Skywalker is far from perfect and was a bit of a botch job script-wise, but worse than Attack of the Clones??  Absolutely no chance.

Yeah, absolutely this. AOTC is Cats-bad.

@AK Bell Have you had no confirmation of customs charges etc then? Or do they deliver and then bill you afterwards? Not sure how it works these days.

I’m so close to ordering one, but those potential charges push it into ‘I can’t quite justify that’ territory.

I ordered Feb 18th so two months.

Really looking forward to your detailed analysis, particularly in DC/PS2/GC-era emulation. And also super jealous, of course.

Odin Pro during up on Tuesday!!! Just before I go on a trip too. Yey!!! 

Nice! How long did it take to arrive in the end?

Don’t listen to this advice. Everybody would be better off with having never seen episode IX.

It really is a load of shite.

*Liverpool scores*
 

”One-one. Minamino.”

Honestly, it’s pretty decent really. I have Plus and Now at the moment, but I never use the streaming (it’s shite), so £80 (minus whatever saving you get on Black Friday/using credit/buying a code online) for the middle tier is really good in my eyes. Like, 6 quid a month? I pay that for some Patreon subs.

Incredible.

Just now, Flub said:

If I currently have PS+ and PSNow does that convert to premium deluxe ultra alpha X? or just extra?

The top one, whatever the hell that’s called.

Yeah, I mean, regardless of the outcome, it’s an interesting breakdown of the method from both sides.

That's all fine, except if Chelsea had still won then what? Suddenly this breakdown isn't a 'fact'.

 

So why did it take so long to settle the League cup final shootout? Did Klopp's tactics fail that it ended up down to the Keepers?

 

It's easy to say "That's the way you win" when you've won.

Penalty shootouts can still be entirely random - and you don't know how much pre-prep has gone into this.

 

If Liverpool had lost no doubt a breakdown based around a "He was too laid back and laughing" narrative suddenly becomes the truth.

Villa aren't beating Citeh.

Correct. They’re going to draw against them.

Hadn’t realised there was a new Klonoa and it comes with the first two games as remasters. Klonoa 2 is an absolute gem. 

Well, it’s only the first two games as remasters, not a ‘new’ Klonoa as such.

But yep, Klonoa 2 is a marvel, and I’m so glad it’s getting remade. Very difficult to play otherwise.

Trust the process. It gets really good! One of the best Rpg of all time. All. Time!

I know, this is what I keep hearing! But the opening (< 20 hours) is so plain, it’s just hard to believe at this point. I’ll continue to crack away.
