Markus IKEA office chair £125, was £150. May need to have the IKEA family card/app. A replacement for my previous chair that cost a lot more than this one from a place called Housing Units but it's become very tatty over the years. This new one though, so far feels great. I just ordered an Utespelare chair from IKEA tonight, was £129 now down to £99. I think my current one was from Staples, and it's not padded all that well in a way that's been making my legs ache. |

Ordered these castors for mine so hopefully wont move when I've got the wheel and pedals out for GT, WRC ect. |

It was nice to find one that wasn't emblazoned with writing or logos for once. |

Not something I'd want to play on Steam most likely, but I might throw them a bunck to enlarge my Series S library (seems it got XS/PS5 improvements some time ago), though I wasn't a fan of the handling in the first game. Hope it's better here.

It was nice to find one that wasn't emblazoned with writing or logos for once. It's quite comfortable. Good padding, good lower back support. Armrests are very short though. |

Glad The Crew 2 only cost 80p.
Not liking the handling. Everything feels heavy.

Not even worth 80p then!

zagibu: Overlooked your comment on Hired Gun: From what I remember Focus Home was fine with how it did do commercially. Also, it has in fact been more than three years since release.

Wat, three years? I thought it was released last year for some reason.

Yeah, I did also think two years or so before checking.

Well, good thing The Crew 2 cost 80p because it's not even starting on my Series S. Read that the problem apparently can be solved by unlinking all accounts from the Ubi website except the Xbox one. Screw if I'm doing that, I'll wait until they release that offline patch.

In the latest Steam sale, it's cheaper to buy The Crew Motorfest + The Crew 2 as bundle, than it is to buy TCM by itself.

I've played the beta/trials of Motorfest but there's just something about it that doesn't make me feel like buying whatever the price.
For all their flaws the two first Crew games I enjoyed then because it was the whole of continental USA if squashed down to a more manageable size. I just liked the variety and Motorfest doesn't have that.

I promise I'm not going to become an evangelist for this game - or anything else, for that matter! - but I do want to reiterate, from the '... Currently Playing?' thread, that Wild Hearts is an absolute steal from The Game Collection:
If anyone's looking to whet his appetite for Monster Hunter Wilds, he could do a lot worse for less than a tenner.

Blimey... Couldn't say no at that price. Think I just nabbed the last Xbox copy.

Screw if I'm doing that, I'll wait until they release that offline patch. I had the same issue just now. Sounds like it's the Facebook profile linking that does it, and I can't even remember adding it in the first place so just deleted that. Voice volume setting went straight to zero for this game! |

Classy. I don't know how I feel about ending up in an urn.
Maybe I'll get one for my partner though, It would be a good present to celebrate getting life insurance on her 😅

Given I currently have the ashes of my mum, dad and their dog(!) in my games cupboard, that almost looks appealing!

Handy there's a place to write a name so you don't get it mixed up with all your other urns |

Oxenfree 2 is an all time low of 1.79 on the Nintendo e-shop. Oxenfree 1 is 89p
I'm currently half way through #1 on PC, but it seems good.

Humble has a Corel graphics software bundle that might be worth a look if you want to do any photo editing or art on PC. In particular, the lower tier means you can get Paint Shop Pro 2023 for $1. These days I guess a lot of this stuff is done on phones by most people, or in Photoshop by professionals, but Paint Shop Pro is a decent alternative to Photoshop that has about 85% of the tools, just with a slightly unpolished interface. I have the 2019 version and it's definitely not bad, so it's well worth the $1 to upgrade to 2023 for me. The higher levels have some decent stuff like Painter for about $25, but I doubt I'd ever actually use it. www.humblebundle.com/software/design-with-coreldraw-perfect-with-ai-software |
