Yeah, and the Brexit vote fucked us. Being in the EU was great. Anyone could see that leaving wasn’t going to make much difference to immigration.

Lol nah you weren’t the only one!

Great cheers I’ll check it out

Thanks mate, appreciated. Yeah I also seen a recurrent pattern in peoples’ suggestions, just what I was hoping for when I posted the question!

They have a fluttery feeling in their heart and pigeon shit leaking from their chest cavity.

I’ve just wishlisted it, so yeah I’ll keep an eye on it. Cheers mate, that looks like a good un

Great I’ll check em out, thanks mate. I’m going to send this comment to my brothers. Yeah I’m thinking we can do co-op gaming.i don’t think we really want to play against other people, we’re pretty much looking for a private playground until we get good enough to play with the clever kids!

Tbh not really. I’m the only one who’s at all flexible - I can do steam deck or old laptop (3050). But electricity is an issue for me, I’m not on mains electric just solar & batteries, and the steam deck is much less power hungry. Both my brothers have kids and homes to pay for. We’re not broke but can’t really upgrade tech without having to budget. We were hoping to find something that’ll work for us all.

Thanks, I’ll check it out!

I’m forwarding this whole thread to my brothers, we’ll agree on something. I like the look of sniper elite 5, thanks!

Lol we actually played worms Armageddon against each other before. If it still has stuff like exploding sheep etc it be a good game to play with their kids

Hmm left for dead 2 seems possible for steam deck at least. I’ll check with the others. Yeah we could do co-op, but I don’t think we wanna play against other humans. Just something we can catch up an have fun for two or three hours each week

It doesn’t have to be against each other, but I think at least to start we wouldn’t want to play with other randoms cos we’re all pretty amateur level.

Yeah we’ve been trying to find something but like you say the platforms seem to be a problem for most things

I just want him gone, don’t care how it happens - death, prison, or retirement into obscurity, whatever. Just so long as he’s out of the game.

Damn, why’d you have to bring up the sun again?

I don’t know why there aren’t any small pickups. I used to have a proton jumbuck, little two seater pickup. You could get a ton of wood in the back and it was the same size as a car so you could park it easily. Really useful little thing, but you don’t seem to get them anymore.

Pervert :)

Hmm I’ve been enjoying deathloop. Tbh though I’ve not done any gaming for maybe twenty years so it doesn’t seem very generic to me. I like the colours and the feel of it.

Yeah I dunno. Fascism is kinda a cultural problem, it won’t go away just cos the leaders go away. The leaders are the ones with the money, they can find a front. Someone obedient and Hollywood famous would be ideal for them. Trump has shown them that it’s doable. It’s not just a problem in America, the right is everywhere. I feel like the right is less vulnerable to sectarianism than the left and not just cos they’re dumber

I’m gonna try to work though your comment in the order you wrote it. I agree with the first bit. About China and Russia taking the piss… Though I’m not sure about China, they might play the long game. I think Taiwan would be tricky in lots of ways. I think China won’t move on Taiwan until the rest of the world is looking elsewhere. I don’t think Russia will try to nuke Europe or Ukraine in the next few years. But I could be wrong, Russia isn’t something I’d want to bet on either way. They’re certainly snidey and aggressive. Yeah, Israel and Iran is a fuckin dangerous hotspot. Don’t like that at all. North Korea, I dunno I would have said a year ago that they all gob and no knob, but I don’t like how they getting snuggly with Russia. NK soldiers are going to Ukraine if they not already there. Hopefully India and Pakistan can chill the fuck out about Kashmir. But I don’t know how close to boiling point they are. Yeah, I’m not American but the impression I get from social media and mates there is that you’re about right, a whole proportion of the population is kinda fucky. And another trump presidency could be extremely harmful. And trump is a symptom of a problem with America, he could croak tomorrow and the danger would remain - because of that third of the USA population you referred to.

Plus there’s non-state actors to worry about.
