That sucks! I know it isn’t considered the best but it is my favourite souls game due to being my first, back in the day!

Tbf I have only played the original, I was just being a pedant for the sake of it. Is it good?

Sure… Kinda grasping at straws though xD

Demons Souls is PS exclusive but not a PS5 exclusive.

I picked this album up purely on the art and the name of the album, not knowing of Refused at all. I was not disappointed!

Aother vote for AirVPN. Been with them for years and they have always been solid. Also port forwarding!

I switched away from Mullvad when they killed port forwarding years ago. I have used AirVPN since and it has always been pretty good!

If it is the single player and story that interests you then just stick to GTA 4. In my opinion the story in 5 is boring as fuck and very quickly falls into a loop that is just mind numbingly dull.

It is your main point of contact / connection to the ground so if something isn’t right with it then I think it is definitely worth fixing. The bead hasn’t correctly hooked over.

I would personally pump it up to around 70 or so psi and then pull back on the shoulder of the tyre away from the side that isnt hooked in correctly to try and get it to hook in correctly. If it won’t seat correctly and also for fitment in the future a little bit of washing up liquid around the bead helps to get the tyres on and for the bead to get seated correctly.

This is my favourite release of the last week that has had a few rotations already -

Cøntra & Pushloop - Distant Visions

Also Bury Tomorrow - Will You Haunt Me, With That Same Patience has been playing pretty much once a day all year so far.

I just finished Utopia yesterday and it was great! It is a shame that it ends after the second season however :(

Hey, don’t bring me into this! ;p

This will be controversial as as far as I am aware it isn’t held in that high regard but in my opinion the best Sonic game made is Sonic Spinball.

It is an odd mix of things, there are a few sections where you need to do some very simple platforming but other than that it is basically a pinball game where you can influence the direction the ball (sonic) is travelling in a very small way. You need to hit certain objectives on each level to acquire chaos emeralds that then open up a boss room. I tend to return to it and complete a play through each year!

As a Sonic adjacent game I also always liked Doctor Robotniks Mean Bean Machine which is a match 3 type puzzle game where setting up combos of colours will trigger blocks to drop on an opponent and you have to survive whilst trying to push their game to the ceiling. Nothing ground breaking but I always enjoyed it.

Aside from that all of the original 2D platformers are decent and Sonic R on the Saturn was alright at the time, although not sure how it has held up over time.

All of the 3D offerings I have tried have been utter shite imo

Listened to a couple of Outlanders then moved on the book 8 of Dungeon Crawler Carl. Just finished that last night so I’ll jump back into more outlanders for a bit whilst I decide what to read next!

Sonic was my first ever video game at Christmas when I was around 4 or 5 and I loved that shit. Loved all of the sonic games on the mega drive and have always thought Mario is fucking dog shit in comparison.

Then the Saturn came along and the only sonic game really worth playing was sonic R seen as the 3D sonic we were promised only materialised as that sort of tech demo that came with Sonic Jam.

After that it was steady downhill for me. I think Adventure 1 and 2 are massively over rated and I never really enjoyed them except for having a Chao on my VMU.

I was still a sonic fan though and ended up getting a sonic half sleeve tattoo for whatever reason.

As time goes on I have realised that every new sonic game that comes out is just not interesting to me. I really liked the demo of 06 and thought it was going to be great but then they had the were hedgehog things that was utter dog shit and ruined the whole thing for me. I have now moved on and don’t really have any interest in anything they produce with sonic in but it was still my first ever video game.

Fast forward to now and I wouldn’t even try a new sonic game and just presume it’ll be crap. I’m blacking out and covering up that old tattoo and Mario is still over rated trash.

Thanks for the reply. I’ll have a look at some documentation and compare to see if I can improve it!

I remember renting PS2 games and then ripping them onto the PS2 HDD using HDD Advance onto my 40GB IDE drive.

No, and as time goes on I’m leaving the house more and more often without that shit. Give me a physical ticket and some cash any day!

If it is Heritage Auctions and WATA then it is corruption. This game is never worth that amount and no one has actually bought it for that amount it is just an ongoing scam and any “publication” reporting on this trash as if it were anything else should also be considered compliant of this obvious market manipulation bullshit.

“What’s the retail on one of those!?”

“More than you can afford pal!”
