Mouse look was revolutionary.
I tried to play Half-Life Uplink with the right directions of looking mapped to 789, 4 and 6, 123. It wasn’t very intuitive.
That said, I played Quake 1 with lookup and lookdown bound to PgUp and PgDown, and Quake II on PlayStation with lookup and lookdown mapped to L1 and R1.
Looking back, that was a wild few years.
My job is half field based, half desk based. That, and I study part time too, so the simple unhelpful answer is the same: I don’t.
Recently I’ve taken to building a list of five or six games I’m interested in, booking a week or two off work in the summer, buying a month of Game Pass and just hooning through the games, and if I’ve got any time left then I’ll smash through some Doom WADs and that’s me.
Otherwise, I try and stay away from screens and try to read or run more.
Or worse, the US telecom franchise 😭
e: obligatory Sinclaaaaaaaiiiirrrr
32-bit FIFA 98, best FIFA.
I never did beat Lode Runner on my Atari 800. What an absolute banger of a game though. Speaking of which, I remember playing Encounter on the Atari 800 and Mercenary III on the Atari ST, and realising “this is the direction of video games”. Incredible stuff.
Yeah, a bit of sense is all you need. I’ve not used spoofing tools but a few of my friends have - we live rural too and it revolutionises the game. Even our local small city centre isn’t really raid friendly - it’s not like you can hang a out Times Square and literally walk into a full raid whenever you like.
That said, the weekly Pokémon Club in rural areas is a great social, and mons tend to stay in gyms for more than twelve seconds making it a bit easier to get pokecoins. The game is still heavily skewed towards city centres though.
The modern day spoofing apps are really quite impressive. Teleportation or time travelling generally gets you an account strike fairly quickly, but some of the cleverer automatic walking functions are really quite cool.
It’ll be interesting to see a Waymo or Tesla FSD follow the path of a few Pokémon Go spoofers through buildings or directly across a field.

Though I would still like to go. That architecture looks fantastic.
I don’t get it. I mean I get it because it’s Ninty, but I don’t get why now?
Has there been something in a major new feature update that has finally tipped the scales into clearly taking the piss, or have the legal team at Big N finally seen their erections subside after the game’s launch and only now can move enough to do something about it?
Purely a subjective opinion (and I apologise if the artist shows up in this thread) but is it me or does it look like the person who made the background took a step back after it was done, marvelled at how pretty it was, and enjoyed the moment before thinking “…fuck I forgot about O’Brien”?
It’s a great bit of artwork but poor Miles looks like an afterthought!
Wreckfest is an absolute banger - the only game (in my subjective opinion) that comes close to Destruction Derby 2 in terms of pure satisfaction when cleaning someone out.
Looking forward to W2.
I thought Gun Jesus was trying to pivot to other streaming platform for his main content, and YouTube was just a bit of extra exposure while it lasts?
I haven’t been keeping up with it so I may be 12 months behind the curve.
I dunno man. I quite enjoy watching documentaries on how the bangbang sticks go bang, and how engineers overcame technical challenges.
I’m not a huge fan of Gravy Seals videos of people doing weird cover to cover movement and blatting off rounds at targets, but each to their own.
I guess I think there’s bigger problems faced by YouTube and this should be pretty far down the list.
The internet has ruined me. The headline made me think there was a swastika-ticking brigade and a swastika-cleaning squad; or a “pool’s closed” style griefing concerted effort; or a giant series of tickdicks.
This seems quite… nice in comparison. Good on you, internet.

Shock horror: a fucking idiot who build his persona on a foundation of being loud, obnoxious, and a bit of a twat turns out to be loud, obnoxious, and a bit of a twat.
Oh, and a nonce too.
Bobby Prince. Now that would be a treat.
I’m on the same page as you, I’m quite worried for it though.
I’ve been looking forward to it for years - I didn’t even know there was a demo, there’s been nothing in the way if hype being built for the game, and when the release date trailer came out I was caught well off guard - I thought it would be a longer run-up to launch.
I hope this low-key launch doesn’t hurt sales and fuck the developers over.
I had the Titan. I wanted to keep a QWERTY phone after BlackBerry pulled out of the hardware market. It’s the opposite of the small form factor that you’re after, though I understand the Titan Pocket goes some way to addressing this.
It was… functional. The keyboard was good, and certainly robust. The battery lasted a day and a half of fair to heavy use, and it was sturdy enough to shrug off most bumps and grinds with the Unihertz gel case. It was also super affordable, even at it’s peak of interest.
Unfortunately, the camera was utter shit (even with decent third party apps like Opencamera), and a design quirk with the fingerprint sensor mounted on the home button meant that it was the on the most raised surface of the front of the phone, meaning that it took the brunt of scuffs or scrapes, so the sensor became less effective. Some of the included apps were a bit janky but certainly workable, and even though the screen was super pretty the aspect ratio did funky things with apps designed for standard portrait displays.
For the money, you can’t go wrong with Unihertz phones, just don’t expect them to be flagship quality, and be prepared to put up with some minor annoyances.
I enjoyed my 18 months with it overall. I jumped to the Samsung Galaxy Flip 3 when I ran out of QWERTY options.
I enjoyed that game. Not sure how it was ever pushed out as a full release rather than a Net Yaroze style special, but fair play to them.
Kurushi (as it was known in the UK and Europe) is like rocking horse shit now. A nice little treasure if you find one in your collection.
