They've already taken the SX, the PS5 and the Switch. I'm not even going to let them have a sniff of the Steamdeck.

Once my eldest gets her hands on it I'll never see it again.

I guess the reason it'll have a physical release is that they want to get it into stores. As much as things are going digital, having product on stores and in front of people who otherwise might not know about it is still a pretty solid way of moving units.

Wasn't it recently reported that Microsoft and Bethesda had no real love or interest in the game, and they sort of just left them to it?

Before I had kids: PUBG. I went real hard on that game for 18 months. I played 10+ hrs a week and never lost interest.

After kids (PUBG is stressful, I don't need more of that) it'd be Rocket League. I've been playing it consistently since Day 1 and whilst I don't see myself improving much anymore, I still get a kick (ahem) out of scoring a nice goal, or a laugh at totally missing an empty net.

The Outer Wilds soundtrack is something I go back to regularly. Even considered buying the Vinyl...and I have no way of playing it.

I've been searching for a 'letterboxd for games' for years, and iirc that's partly what Ggapp bases it's site on. I'll absolutely give Backloggd a look though, thanks.

Hogs of War.

I'm sure I'm doing it something of a disservice here, but even at the time I remember thinking it looked pretty grim.

Lots of browns and greens, lots of repeated textures and lots of pretty clumsy animations.

And you know what? None of that mattered in the slightest.
