It’s great and reading is always a good thing to do - whatever the text.

So still reading The Orchestra of Minorities which has continued to be great and I’ll finish it off this week. I’m posting as I started to read The Hobbit to my daughter, despite being 6 months old and not having a clue but it making her fall asleep, it’s been really fun to read it out loud with voices. I just fancied sharing my fun!

My heart says Green Party but my reality is Labour Party.

Might pick that up over the summer or winter as my snoozy, better than a nap, afternoon game.

Control is getting better now I can enjoy testing people with rocks, dashing away and the headshot the rest. I kind of want to binge it once we’re at the weekend as it feels like the kind of world to just get lost in. then FF7 after that for a more laid back, so an hour here, do some bits there...

More Undertale - which I’m enjoying and looking forward to possibly finishing next week. More Control which I’m enjoying as well but it currently has that ‘go here so I can help you’ vibe that I’ve hated in so many games. I’m hoping that it’s part of the message behind the game as I’m starting to enjoy the set up - even if nothing still makes much sense outside of evil, possessed people and things need smacking with heavy things and shooting.

This thread makes me want to do my own Predator-Commando double header. To answer, I’d go with The Matrix.

The fact they can’t offer 4K, ray-tracing and 60-120FPS means they have to at some point.

Apart from just having one to play some cross gen games - is there actually a reason to upgrade at the moment? I’d love a PS5, but what would I be buying it for really?

PS4 and it happened again today and the stopped. I’m pretty sure it’s not my controller but I’ll try my other one out to see if that helps. It’s just very annoying when you’re trying to find your bearings and the camera just keeps revolving endlessly and then decides, for no real reason, to stop. Also tried out Undertale - fine so fair and I’m interested to see where it goes, though I still need to finish Told Story off at some point.

I’m playing and enjoying Control (bar the slowdown - but ah well) but one, random thing that’s spoiling the game is the camera will randomly start spinning to the left. I tried shutting down and restarting the game but it carried on. I haven’t restarted the console yet so will see if the issue is gone tomorrow. So far though, combat is good, I have no idea what’s going on - but I’m interested none the less.

Will watch - love these things for when I’m cleaning or working to have in the background.

Unless they are making an actual follow up - who is this console really for?

I write this knowing this will not be an option for many, many years to come. But I do miss that feeling of arranging a free day on a Friday, getting a new game and just playing it relentlessly whilst making terrible food choices. I don’t actually think I’ve indulged in that way since Halo Reach and Gears 3 came out.

Anyone find it hard sometimes to balance getting out running (especially as the fitter I get - the further I’ll run), work, family and then not being endlessly tired. I’m hitting 6pm most days and could go to bed

I like you @Fizzzzle but oh no, no, no , no.

Some games I do - mostly 2D and 3D platforms which offer that additional challenge mode or competitive online games. Most games though I play on easy just to enjoy the gameplay and the story. I’m well past the need to be good at the games I play and just want the fun aspect of them.

FF7 is the big one.

On a different note, with this month and last month being great - how does Sony keep up the momentum?

What did you think of Undertale? It’s sitting on my switch I played at the moment...

This is literally the first time I’ve heard of the game...that may link in with one of the problems they were having.

I’ve just started Control and played the first 15 minutes or so. I like it so far but I might need to play it with headphones as it makes my PS4, TLoU: P2 levels of loud.

Near the end of The Fractured But Whole, which I’ll finish tomorrow. Then I think it’ll be Control for the next few weeks - then when we hit the Easter holidays I’ll start on FF7:R.

Looks like I’ll be getting plus now so I can get control and FF7 for less than a tenner.

The Devil Wears Parada - despite the name , it didn’t scare me once. 9/10
