YouTube have such a stranglehold on the >1m market, that's why they can afford to stagnate in that area and look into other markets. They don't have to fear a competitor threatening their core market any time soon.

We should wait for the lab results before confirming the diagnosis

Friend, you're 20. The concept of "potential" being "wasted" at this point in your life is non existent. You're still right at the start of the journey. Don't dwell on what you think you might have missed yesterday. Make a plan for tomorrow.

I'm up to about 30 unplayed games in my Steam library. I really need to stop buying more.

When this current "AI" bubble bursts, Reddit will be left with nothing. They sold what goodwill they had for a handful of magic beans.

The Mooncrash DLC for Prey (2017) isn't strictly a time loop game but it might have a lot of the elements that you find interesting.

My concern is that it feels like using Google to confirm the truth of what ChatGPT tells you is becoming less and less reliable, as so many of the pages indexed by Google are themselves created by similar models. But I suppose as long as your search took you to a site where you could actually buy the thing, that's okay.

Or at least, it is until fake shopping sites start inventing products based on ChatGPT output.

If you own multiple homes, then you can view all but one of them as an investment, as you can sell them when the market is good.

If you own one house and have a mortgage on it, then the market going down is bad because you end up with negative equity.

If you own one house with no mortgage, then the market going up is bad because it's harder to upgrade. I wouldn't mind my house being only worth £10,000 if it meant that I could buy my dream house for £20,000.

His interview certainly lent some additional weight to the theories that he's been trying to run the company into the ground the whole time.

Cloudpunk has really nice atmosphere but is highly linear, almost to the point of belonging to the "walking simulator" genre. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, but just don't go in expecting much in terms of gameplay.

There's also talents that are byproducts of being born to wealthy parents

Happy birthday, pal.

After Cars 2 I had very low expectations of Cars 3, unsurprisingly. It's a miracle that I was convinced to watch it. Yet somehow I was, and found it to be bloody good.

Maybe not "as many years as they need" because it would never get finished, but definitely allow them 4-5.

Alba: A Wildlife Adventure has got cute, cosy and wholesome in spades.

I've got that on my wishlist too, the problem is that I have so many other games already in my queue, that I think I wouldn't get around to playing it before the next Steam sale.

As a result of having such a big stockpile, I'm not buying many games for myself in this sale. I am getting a few for playing on the sofa with family though.

Car manufacturers won't spend extra on a fancy feature unless they can't sell without it. That's why most cars have such nasty low-res screens for the entertainment system, when a nice high res one (like the one you have in your phone) would only cost a few quid more.

Does that still require a third party launcher, or can you just run it straight from Steam now?
