Correct

Light novel first, then manga, then the Hollywood adaptation

The manga has the additional story

Might be worth trying with a screenshot of the intro of Xenoblade - it’s a pure white background for a lot of it.

Yes, extremely easy to set up for schools, cheaper than alternatives, and simple to problem solve for teachers.

UK. It’s been absolute fucking shite this summer. Rain, rain and more fucking rain.

Last year was scorching hot to the point of being unbearable. Not this year. It’s fucking pissing it down right now in fact.

EU commission, really. That’s the only way

That would be incredible

Spoken like someone who clearly doesn’t work in finance.

The numpad is essential for my work. You’re not seeing it from the perspective of myself who uses it as a calculator with automatic text entry while producing documents and estimations. That is my job, and it requires the numpad/calculator layout.

The problem is, we are increasingly a minority. The majority of people now see nothing wrong with using default browsers and apps, they see ads as completely normal, they trust Google, tiktok, etc with no issues.

Bear in mind whereas I grew up with what I call the golden age of the internet, late 90s to late 00s, those today know nothing different than the internet as it is now. I’ve tried explaining this to people before - the response is always indifference. Apply that to the countless millions (billions?!) of mainstream users worldwide. It’s sad, but it’s how it is.

I honestly think the only way this is going to be stopped is if and when the EU commission step in.

He’s a cunt just like Johnson was a cunt and I’d have the same opinion if I were fucking blind. Skin colour means shit.

Xenoblade has no relevance to anything that came before it (aside from a small couple of references).

Xenoblade 1, 2, 3 can be played in any order. They are self contained aside from certain references. 1 is more serious, 2 vastly more light-hearted (for most of it, anyway). 3 takes place countless centuries after the other two with references to them in certain circumstances, removes the anime-ness of 2 and makes things vastly more serious. There’s really nothing lost playing them out of order.

Playing in order gives you the “oh shit, it’s that place”, or person or music or whatever experience as you go on, but you would get that just as easily in any order I’d imagine. And the game works great on Yuzu on PC in 4k too.

Edit: yes there is an overarching plot in the trilogy, which reaches its conclusion in 3’s expansion. But the games are structured in a way that is best for new players while rewarding long term fans.

Xenoblade 3.

a world where each person only has only ten years to live and is forced to fight throughout in a never-ending war between two nations in a decaying land. There’s a lot of depth surrounding the main characters, especially joint protagonist Mio who has only 3 months life remaining at the start of the story. Game gets real fucking dark.

And nah you don’t need to play the first two to enjoy it, as long as you avoid the DLC expansion as that’s the series conclusion.

Edit: also the most believable and well written romance between two characters I’ve ever seen in a game and the fantastic VA makes a huge impact (all UK talent - Mio’s VA is better known for Peaky Blinders, Jenna Coleman is better known for Dr Who, for example). And anyone who says they didn’t cry in chapter 5/6 is a liar.

Worked fine for me in the UK, not sure if Google play counts us as in the EU these days or not

Weird, mine has been absolutely rock solid. And I don’t touch the oculus software, just SteamVR. I’ve played hundreds of hours of Bonelab and Half Life 2 VR etc

The only issue I’ve ever had is having to replug in the usb cable at the start if my pc is started up with it plugged in… but as it’s almost always stored in a box unless I use it, that’s rarely ever a problem.

Maybe it’s the connector on the cable end that plugs into the headset that’s dodgy in your case

Half of every morning meeting is trying to work out wtf is happening with teams in my experience.

A frequent occurrence is when it, without warning, changes your text to right-to-left Arabic layout, so every now and again you get a message from a colleague that reads like they’re trapped in the black lodge

I also had a moment yesterday when pop up messages took over almost my entire screen and I had to force quit teams. If anyone used to get pop up spammed back on MSN Messenger twenty years back it was just like that.

Teams is absolute fucking shite.
