Probably less, but it may well have been roughly similar. I think when they were younger they ended up getting more “stuff” but it was cheaper items. Mostly board games and toys that I thought they might like, rather than specific stuff they ask for these days. Well, I ask them, because I’d rather get them stuff they want/need.

I feel like the pile of presents was bigger in those days at least.

Parent of late teens here - around £200 each (usually clothes or various bits they’ve asked for), unless there’s a big present involved that I’m interested in too (like a new games console), which would be a more expensive year.

Assuming I get to choose the 7

I got you. It’s an entry in the Portal franchise, with the “2” indicating that it is the second in the series.

The list is in the description of the video.

He does plenty of smaller video essays, but this was something he’d been working up to for a while.

I’ve been subscribed to this guy for a while now, ever since this video came up on my recommended feed. I love his soothing, almost ASMR delivery, and the points he raises about filmmaking are always superb. One of my favourite YouTube channels.

Not my bag, but I reckon hent.ai would be a popular niche.

Goddammit, I loved that game too!

X-Wing

Tie Fighter

X-Wing Alliance

Star Wars: KOTOR

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis

Lord of the Rings: Return of the King

Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor

Hogwarts Legacy

The Thing

Aladdin

Blade Runner

And these are just a few off the top of my head that I’ve played.

Although to be fair, I guess we could just as easily reel off a list of garbage equivalents, but I think the throwaway that licensed games suck is a misconception.

I can highly recommend this if you’re any kind of Indy fan. It masterfully replicates the globetrotting adventure vibe and swashbuckling fighting of the movies, and Indy’s voice actor absolutely nails it.

Never folds the wrong way or moves unpredictably during strong winds.

About 2 metres. It was literally where we were having breakfast. The restaurant of the hotel is a long corridor so all guests get the awesome view, and there is a decked area leading off, where you can step outside. Our table was next to the patio doors leading out to the deck.

Not this time. I think if I had done all that, the absence of a proposal would have been terminal.

If this releases with full support for existing Xbox libraries as suggested, this would be the absolute perfect device for my household, where we’ve accrued literally hundreds of Xbox games since 2001, and would love to open up to PC games from a device in the living room. For me, it’s the best of both. That said, it’s still dependent on avoiding exorbitant pricing.

My girlfriend, who is very keen to get engaged, said “I guess my ring is in the tower isn’t it?”

In the case of fake news, extremely.

I’m exactly the same. Xbox gamer since the OG, and big fan of GamePass until recently. There’s no way I’m paying that much. Mine expires this month, and that’ll be that.

Yeah well my Zeus 15GW Overcompensator desktop rig has 4 million FlappyCLAMS and a hundred ThrustForce WTFs.

I enjoyed this. A shooter with a different feel and a vibrant palette, and genuinely funny in parts.

I also got banned from the Xbox subreddit a couple of years ago because of this game. Apparently a photo of the in-game sounding rods was inappropriate. Mate, it’s literally an unedited screenshot from an Xbox game.

That is pretty much Max in every movie bar the first one though. Wanders about, reluctantly helps some people, wanders off on his own again.
