Just played some Forza Horizon 5 and as someone who hasn't played any of the previous Forza's, it's not bad. No idea what I'm doing yet. Very pretty game on my 3060.

I think I'm in the same place now to be honest. I can see why people will like it though.

I played it yesterday for the first time. Fast introduction and the graphics look great on Ryzen 5.

Steam Deck delayed by 2 months. Gutted.

Coding skills are surely be secondary to the skills required production of fancy Gifs of Spaceships. I mean, there will be a lot of coders. The biggest requirement for that job will be the ability to keep working really hard forever at something that everyone knows is never going to work, where management do nothing but dick you around constantly.

Two years experience of any regular coding job should do the trick.

Anyone on here going to be playing Battlefield 2042 on PC? Absolutely buzzing for this one.

My PC got shipped to my office unit when my Mrs had our second kid. Rarely get to play it but a few 'late nights' are in order!

Can’t wait. I’ll be on Friday morning at 8am. Been waiting for a new modern Battlefield for to long. Just hoping Dice keep the game fresh with good content. Looking forward to Portal more than anything.

Has anyone got FM yet? I’m on a Newcastle save and City have sign Haaland and he’s scored 50 goals in all competitions and it’s only the start of January. Pep has gone and they’ve got Klopp in which makes them pretty much unbeatable as Gegenpress is still hugely broken.

Early finish at work means I've had a quick play of GTA San Andreas on Gamepass.

It's fucking brilliant. Couple of lighting issues which is either my settings or will get a fix I would imagine quite quickly.

Very impressed what they've done with what they had to work with
