Still too expensive. A car company valued like a software stock. Makes no sense to me. And that’s not even factoring in their small range…

Exactly. I wonder how much it has saved them to do away with the indicator stalks. This and the fact that they eliminated the gauge cluster…

Because there are so many. Toyota cars are typically great quality. At least the bodywork panels tend to align.

Teslas as basically MAGA hats on wheels these days. I applaud them for kicking off the EV mass adoption. Sadly, their megalomaniac CEO lost…

As a comparable ICE car, a Toyota Camry costs from $39,000 (QLD). Comes with a proper dashboard and indicator stalks. Spectacular range and…

I welcome any trick that will prevent us from paying the “Australia tax”. But I suspect they’ll eventually crack down on this if…

A great game with tons of atmosphere, detail and character! Refreshingly, it is a AAA game that forgoes any pandering to modern-day…

I don’t see why this would be necessary. Perhaps they could ship a version for the newer consoles that runs at 60 fps. The graphics as…

It fits the era in which the game is set. Life was slower back then. Arthur isn’t Sonic the Hedgehog. He moves with confidence and…

Not even close. Expect to dial down settings to low, and engage FSR 2 where available to play modern AAA games. On the flip side, many…

Resolution is better and the Ally does 120 Hz with VRR. The Steam Deck OLED is only 800p and 90 Hz without VRR. I would still go for the…

I own both: a ROG Ally and a Steam Deck (non-OLED). My recommendation is for the Steam Deck OLED. It’s not even close. The ROG Ally…

I bought a ROG Ally a few weeks back. And I would NOT buy it again. Especially now that the Steam Deck OLED is out (even though not…

The Mini is unique in its design. Pity that they gave it an impractically small battery. Charge a few thousand extra and put a better…

Great running shoes. Comfortable, bouncy and no sore heels. Soles are fairly soft and will not last more than a few months of regular /…

They haven’t. Performance mode is still a mess and feels extremely jerky. Smooth at 30 fps, if that’s enough for you.

Twice the price of a PS5, which runs the same games that are often better optimised.

They are all repetitive with a dragged out story. But at least the locations (Ancient Egypt and Greece) and time periods were really…

Considering the poor technical state of many new PC games, I don’t see the added value of high-end PC gaming. Do yourself a favour and…

But unlike Assassins Creed, you play through a single story which doesn’t really drop the ball. So I don’t think it’s fair to equate…

To play what games? The PSVR2 launch lineup is very sparse.

They patched PS5 support into the PS4 version of part 2. This will give you 60 fps support, but nothing else. The graphics don’t need it…

Part 1 sort of did. You can play the PS3 version on PC with the RPCS3 emulator. Looks way worse than the PS5 remake though. And its…

The game is a technical masterpiece, no doubt. Especially considering the fact how good it looks and runs even on base-level PS4 hardware.…

I hear people making wild accusations such as that JKR is a transphobe, is trying to “erase” transsexuals etc. And then I actually make…

I think it’s good, just shy of being great. An 8/10 for me. Some Harry Potter nostalgia admittedly plays into that. And also that we…

Let’s just say: it has some of the typical open world problems. Like some side quests to fetch something from somewhere. Or to fight the…

Pretty much every game ends up in the bargain bin after a year or so. What matters are the sales in the days and weeks after release. And…

Nobody seriously boycotted the game anyway. It is selling extremely well. The only people who called for a boycott are the usual suspects…

It offers a lot of graphics modes. I personally find the 40 fps (“balanced”) mode to be the best compromise.
