I don't disagree with any of the technological suggestions in the article, but one glaring omission is how much productivity is being impacted by climate change. Perhaps it's something to consider the next time rural areas vote for the Nats or Libs.

That's fair. I was thinking more about the overall aesthetic, as it's a bit more stylised rather than leaning towards realism like in 1 and 3.

They are remaking the first game, but I don't know if there are enough details about it yet to know how extensive the overhaul will be. The second game doesn't need one.

There's also the fact that hardware costs keep going up, but there's not really a big technological leap between generations anymore. There's little reason to buy into the next generation when the selling point boils down to "Play the same games, but slightly smoother*!"

*If there's enough development time to implement the option to do so

Part of my enjoyment is not necessarily knowing what is coming next so that I can experience it for myself. Spoilers won't completely ruin something for me, but it is taking something away from the experience.

Also, to everyone out there, just tag the spoilers so people can make up their own mind what they read. It takes a bare minimum of effort to do so. It's akin to holding the door open for someone behind you, it's not going to be the end of the world if you don't, but it can make someone's day a fraction better if you do.

This could be a smart move by the UK, assuming they will be pursuing new trade deals in preparation for whenever Trump backflips on this.

But this is the country that is famous for the incredible own goal that was brexit, so...

So let me get this straight. JD Vance visits the pope, the pope then dies, and now they've elected an American to replace him? Seems suspicious.

One of Naughty Dog’s two unannounced single-player games has not yet been announced.

Breaking news right there.

We've known about the dangers of climate change since the 70s. Is it really any wonder that after five decades of inaction, the "rhetoric" has changed from "Hey, maybe we should work to reduce emissions" to "A lot of people are going to die if we don't take action right now!"

Hawkeye and Echo both heavily feature Fisk, so those should be watched. Can't think of much other than that if you've watched the original three seasons of Daredevil as well as Punisher. Daredevil appeared in the latest Spider-man and She-Hulk, but those were more like cameo appearances.

It's funny, I actually was thinking it's the other way around. Older gamers have a million different things begging for attention, so longer games just aren't as appealing anymore. Younger gamers can easily find the time to sit down for hours at a time uninterrupted.

In reality, it's probably somewhere in between. Younger people also gave increasingly smaller attention spans due to social media, so there probably are a growing number of them that just wouldn't sit with one game for that long.

Good to see another handheld with trackpads. I can add this to the very short list of devices I will consider as a replacement if my Steam Deck ever carks it.
