Flipper straight at them. Halfway there hold the trigger. That should do it.

Was Actually named as In the film?

Just watched it. Jesus fucking Christ. It’s beautiful. Just stunningly gorgeous and it looks as hard as nails. Corrupted Monk is amazing. Watch it. Then go on blackout.

In my two hours with it last night 6-8pm EU servers, I never got invaded once (across multiple pregen builds). Nor could I invade, and the gravelord mechanic failed every time. Gave up in the end. And that’s on a rock solid ultrafast fibre connection feet from the router. Will try again tonight.

Been trying the Switch network test. Firstly, it’s just cool to play it handheld. Even if just restricted to UB and the short run to the Gargoyles. However... The framerate feels a bit uneven undocked, but maybe due to coming from 60fps on PS4. The image quality feels a little rough to me. The joycon sticks feel a bit twitchy. None of the invasions/summons worked for me. And they seriously should have allowed swapping of confirm/cancel A/B (it’s there, but weirdly greyed out in the menu) to Switch normal not PS4 normal. Feels like it needs work still.

Looks a bit light on the actual Mars stuff?

I’ve never been a retrogamer and this hasn’t altered that. Had a go at a dozen or so of these (including some of the Marios and Zelda) and the only one I could honestly say I enjoyed was Yoshi, as I liked the fundamental column-switching mechanics. But it still pales quickly. It all just feels too primitive now, graphics and gameplay, to hold my interest, despite playing the shit out of stuff like this back in the day (and way earlier). Feel free to hate on me of course. Anyway, saves backed up, £18 well spent! Thanks Nintendo.

Timing it is irrelevant. It’s about distance. Haaaaan took an impossible shortcut, going from a typical 20 parsecs route to do it safely down to only 12 (“if you round down”). So, they got that bit right.

Finally saw it. Entirely forgettable. Not a future classic scene in it. Very little happened in the 2 hours. Decent perfs apart from Shite3PO. But mostly pretty dull and pedestrian.

Well that was a tonal smorgasbord. Sweet and funny. Shrill and ridiculous. Depressing and grim. Babe it isn’t. Enjoyed it, but struggling with the sledgehammer messaging of murdering human-sentient animals as a commentary on the meat trade - awful as that is.

I think Kai

That exaggerated frame skipping effect makes it completely unwatchable for me. That’s a shame as it seems like it could’ve been good otherwise.

Only seen Ep 1 so far, and thought it was fantastic. Nice slow burn, the missus thinks she’s already sussed one of the big twists ahead. We’ll see. Looking forward to seeing more. And yes, all the actors are great in this.
