Very much so, but this is the depressing reality of chasing items where demand exceeds supply in the 2020s. People who go out of their way to access back-channel information will have the edge. In 2021 it took me three months of using a stock notification app before I could buy a Playstation 5...

I think the direction the viewing journal thread has taken is due to the forums being built on a mix of web 1.0 and web 2.0 design concepts, and reflects how people seem to engage with the forums as a whole. 20+ years ago, the only way to navigate the forums I used to use was via the front page...

Final Fantasy VII (original) I used to replay this once a year, but this is the first time I've revisited it since the first part of the remake came out. It's still the masterpiece it was 27 years ago. The remakes expand and polish a lot of things, especially dialogue and minigames, and make the...

Maybe just spam? Scammers are probably sending more fake courier emails at this time of year because they know everyone is waiting for deliveries from sales, Christmas shopping, etc.

Well this is a depressing start. https://www.eurogamer.net/infinity-nikki-hacked-with-abusive-message-to-players-shortly-after-launch

The only other one I know of is Robert's Anime Corner Store. I used them a few months ago with no trouble, but their prices tend to be higher than Crunchyroll. They're currently charging $20 more than Crunchyroll to preorder Knapsack Kid, for example, listing the RRP as ten dollars higher than...

Sony are releasing an F2P version of Gran Turismo tomorrow. https://www.eurogamer.net/sony-to-release-free-to-play-my-first-gran-turismo-to-celebrate-playstations-30th-anniversary

Some Aniplex titles have had UK releases in the past, but the impression I've got from things MVM have said on the forums is that Aniplex have become increasingly uncommunicative in recent years. Apparently MVM have enquired about licencing Dreaming Girl multiple times, but no one ever replies...

Alien Romulus After watching the first trailer and failing to avoid people's impressions and a couple of spoilers, I went into Romulus having pretty much cynically pre-judged it. So I was pleasantly surprised that it was better than I expected. The first act does a great job of establishing the...

It's streaming on Disney+ if you want to try before you buy.

It's disappointing that they're not announcing the usual stack of 12 new early birds, but their decision to focus on getting their currently announced slate out the door in good shape is no doubt the right move. I look forward to seeing what OOP items they have unearthed. I have mixed feelings...

DualSense stick drift can be fixed. It's a delicate 16-step disassembly process to do so though... Can't say I enjoyed the experience, but it is possible.

Looking at my order history, I'm surprised to see the only title I've ordered from AL this year is Godzilla Minus One. Over the last few years I've bought most of their back catalogue titles that interest me, but most of their 2024 slate hasn't interested me. I haven't even bothered buying the...

I've been hesitant to use a forwarding company, but when I saw the current Sentai sale could save me about £200 off the items I was about to order via Amazon I decided it was time to give it a try. I really appreciate the guide from @SkwigglesWorth , so I've registered for Stackry using your...

AL have become generally quieter about announcing things in advance over the last year, so I wonder if we'll get advance notice of the 12 Days plans at all. For that matter, I wonder if they're even doing a bunch of early bird announcements during the sale this year. Because he's Shady.

It's no more bizarre than FFXV Pocket Edition, I suppose. Presumably the idea is for this to be a gateway drug to pull people over to the full-fat version. More XIV definitely isn't what I wanted to see from the franchise next, considering it's already had an expansion this year.

I did a marathon replay of Final Fantasy VII Remake, Intermission and Rebirth. Knowing that so much of it is available now, I found myself not taking my time to savour it all quite as much as previously. I still did most of the major sidequests and some of the other optional stuff, but it's...

That was a good show, at least what there is of it so far. The thought of never being able to leave work is absolute nightmare fuel though.

You have my sympathies.
