I feel like I already got way more than my money's worth out of the game, and I'm happy to have moved on to other games. Not every game has to last forever.

I scrolled through all the comments looking for a Red Dwarf reference. Thank you! :-)

Google made this available so they can encourage developers to use it and say "we're not a monopoly, the developers are adding the check" and see how long they can get away with it.

Oh, ok then. Guess who didn't read the article. :-)

What do I do with my PS5 discs if I buy the Pro one day? Are they just unusable? Will I be able to get a digital copy for free since I already paid them for the disc they stopped supporting?

It seems like there's no sane migration path from PS5 with disc drive to the PS5 Pro.

All the things that used to break phones got fixed, mobile OS changes got smaller and smaller, designed obsolescence required something that would get people to buy a new phone every 18 months. So here's a hinge. Here's TWO hinges!

Most people have never installed an operating system, and I've never seen a laptop running Linux for sale at Best Buy or wherever, so there's a huge barrier for entry for the average person.

I'm sure most people would be fine with Linux day to day if it was set up for them, but they're not going to download an ISO, boot from it, and install an OS if they don't have to.

These same people, to stick with my example, might grow delicious tomatoes, better than those you buy at the supermarket. Can anyone grow some tomatoes? Pretty much. Does anyone really have to? No.

People can choose what to spend their time doing. Some of us choose to be able to install operating systems, other choose to become master gardeners. Who's to say which one is right or wrong? The gardeners probably don't have any issues using WhatsApp, even if there is advertising in it, because it solves the problem they have. Then they go back to the thing they're experts at instead, saying things like "why can't these tech sheeple grow a radish? send them all to jail."

It took me a lot of convincing to get my friends on Signal instead of WhatsApp. I believe WhatsApp was talking about adding advertising or charging money, and I used that to get people to switch.

This reminds me of the argument I see from Linux users that Linux is just as easy to set up as Windows. I think it doesn't occur to people making that argument that most people never even set up Windows. It's just on their computer when they get it.

The setup needs to be fast and easy for people to consider it. Nobody will spend even 5 minutes figuring something out these days.

Edit to add that a bunch of younger people have never had a computer or laptop. They do their computer stuff on a phone or possibly a tablet and they definitely never did anything technical like reinstall the OS.

Unless I missed it multiple times, I'm amazed that Red Dead Redemption 2 isn't on the list at all but something like Mini Motorways is. No offense to Mini Motorways, but RDR2 was a mind-blowing game for me.

Welcome to the Eurogamer 100, a list of video games that aims to reflect their ever-changing nature. Rather than ranking games by their influence or significance, the below list is a suggestion of the very best things you can play at this moment, according to us.

It's a pretty good list, I think, although there are a few "wtf" moments here and there as I see what's included and what's omitted.

I set one up with my feeder and I saw a hummingbird on it yesterday. Thanks for the advice!

The person you're replying to is talking about the text in the image. "Is it though. Is it a model cucumber." which should have two question marks.

I'll cut right to the chase. I'm playing the Aquarius expedition and I got a ship called The Celeste when I started. I fixed it up a bit, filled the inventory, and then, when I got enough nanites, I claimed the Iron Vulture from a previous expedition at The Anomaly.

The Iron Vulture appeared, and I began emptying some of my exosuit storage so I could transfer stuff out of The Celeste into the Vulture. For some reason, however, I cannot spawn in The Celeste again. So the ship, its technology, and cargo are all gone.

I have not had this problem in the past, so I'm really not sure what happened.

I can't even remember everything I lost, but I really wish I could get it all back.

I advise caution for anyone else looking to do the same thing.

Sean Murray traditionally teases No Man's Sky news with a single emoji tweet, but he's also used the "world" emoji in posts about Light No Fire's open world.

Keep your eyes open for potential news in the next few days!

Just a little informal post to say I think about this game all the time at the moment. I know I shouldn't say it, but I miss the hype of No Man's Sky pre-launch. The podcasts, the Reddit threads, etc.

I just want some news, ideally a release date!

I just wanted to make this little post to say that after losing my previous permadeath save after 12 hours, I persisted, and made it to the center on my second attempt.

I kind of cheesed it though, thanks to the teleporter on the anomaly, and a guy named Jeff Pesos who happened to have a base one hop away from the galaxy's center.

I did manage to do this on the Playstation many years ago, but I recently got back into the game on PC and wanted to 100% it.

Anyway, that's it, thanks Jeff Pesos!

Of the species seen in the game so far, which one would you like to play as? Do you think it'll be possible?

I'll go first and say that I think it would be cool to play as a skeleton, but I'm not convinced that will be an option as skeletons are typically mobs.

The rabbits/hares/lagomorphs seem interesting.

Light No Fire on Steam (store.steampowered.com)

I've already added it to my wishlist. I hope it comes to consoles, too.
