    Amiibo emulator. Don't know what the other design on the box is all about, I have the front design just in black. Not tested it beyond turning it on and going through the menus, but it seems to work fine. I don't really need it, but I blame this thread.

    Sony is moving away from physical discs, will soon only release PlayStation games digitally

    Nah, you can just use multiple discs. No need for a new format. Horizon forbidden west complete edition and ff7 rebirth already do this. An install disc and a play disc. No need for a new format.

    PlayStation is permanently discontinuing physical games

    End of the road for me and playstation then. Digital is just way too expensive on consoles here. I doubt there will be much competition between the retailers that sell games when it's just a digital code.

    Steam Summer Sale goes live, various titles discounted by varied amounts

    Will wait until the 7th before I decide to buy anything (new humble bundle out then). Quick look through my wishlist doesn't look great though, mostly the same titles on sale for the same discount as normal.

    So Andy Burnham is going to be PM

    It will just be more tinkering around the edges. Brexit/EU will just be more deals on various thing. Actually rejoining is off the table without a referendum and that's off the table without it being in the manifesto. No way Labour will call an election on the back of that, too risky. Cost of...

    So Andy Burnham is going to be PM

    It's true ,and no say, because that's how our system works. We don't vote for a specific leader to run the country, we vote for our local mp, who belongs to X party and represents a seat in parliament. Whichever party gets enough seats to form a majority, gets to run the country. Leader of the...

    Steam Machine waiting list goes live, starting at £879 with a 512GB SSD

    Not just an equivalent of a 6600 though, it's SFF as well. Even building yourself, SFF is a premium. Mini ITX boards tend to be more expensive, a decent case is more expensive. SFX psu (if needed), premium compared to ATX. Not saying it's a good deal, but SFF has always carried a premium, even...

    Steam Machine waiting list goes live, starting at £879 with a 512GB SSD

    Even without the memory nonsense, it was never going to offer as good value as console. Sony fleece you on paying to play online. Sony fleece you on controllers, £180 for the edge, with the drift fix being "buy more sticks from us at £20 a pop" :rofl2:, even buying 3rd party, Sony still get a...

    Good Printer without subscription

    I have a brother hl-2350dw mono laser printer. Does me fine, 0 trouble. Had it a couple of years, never given me any trouble, haven't had to change the toner yet. So I vote for whatever is the cheapest brother printer that fits what you want.

    Nintendo confirms a new Switch 2 model is in the works to better comply with EU regulation

    Good. It's ridiculous that it needs regulations to make easily removable batteries a standard. It's always been a joke that all these big companies bang on about being green, then sell you stuff that you have to throw away once the battery is no good, because you would have to destroy the device...

    Gaming Bubsy 4D releases to less-than-spectacular reviews

    I will still grab it on sale. Demon Turf is an amazing 3d platformer, Demon Tides is great as well, those two are both from Fabraz, so is Bubsy, I enjoyed the demo as well, so unless it goes seriously downhill in the full game, I still want to play it.

    Oh no, I've turned into my dad :rofl2: Brushes, some mdf sealer and some clear varnish.

    Unpopular Opinions 2.0

    I dislike the commonly used OLED pronunciation, so oh-led as a word. Going forwards, for the purposes of my rant Led=word, L.E.D= separate letters. No one refers to L.E.Ds as "Leds", it's always L.E.D, just the three letters, but in a tv, suddenly it's "leds". It's not even consistent, when...

    Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa explains Switch 2 price increases in recent Financial Results Briefing

    Think it's only going up by £30 here. Hardly a deal breaker if you wanted one, unlike ram that went from £70 to £300. It is what it is, only thing I dislike with this sort of price rise, is it takes ages to go the other way. Quick to raise, always slow to drop. At least Nintendo are raising it...

    G304X. Wanted a change from my old G pro wired, still works, but desk is getting a bit cluttered these days, so wanted to get rid of the cable and mouse bungee. Wanted a similar shaped mouse without a coating that breaks down and goes sticky. That's slim pickings, but the 304x fits it. It's...

    My RGH 3 XBOX 360 freezes randomly when it is on

    Pictures of wire routing for the rgh3? Bad routing near noisy components can cause freezing and glitches. Example, glitching and freezing caused by bad routing https://www.reddit.com/r/360hacks/comments/1jcy87n/can_bad_rgh3_wire_routing_make_an_xbox_freeze/

    Adjustable ankle weights. Don't really need to change up the weight too much, but the adjustable ones have the packets of sand in their own little bags, so the stitching won't pull on them when you move about. I did have these before https://www.argos.co.uk/product/9203004 and they failed...

    Where are the component price drops?

    I got a 2TB 990pro for £80 at the end of 2024. They were £130, but Samsung UK was giving £50 cashback. Think that is the lowest I've ever seen it for.

    Replacement headband cable for my headphones (it's the cable that runs through the headband to connect the non cable side cup). Beyerdynamic pretty much sell spares for everything, even if it's something that needs soldering, unlike a lot of companies who just virtue signal about how green they...
