Lol! n00b.

Makoto Shinkai?

In the current day and age, removing those scenes is not as big of a concern, than "replacing" them entirely.

Set your alarms, people... That's 9:30 AM on 22nd January for us in India.

Mazaa aa gaya yaar. Superb RAW! I know they can't keep this up on a weekly basis, but still... Looooved it! 'Taker showing up was the highlight for me. Super pleasantly surprised. Was so happy to hear the gong and the American Badass avatar. Glad to see Rhea totally play along during that segment. Also, if I heard correctly, Hogan was boo'ed into oblivion during his segment. Crazy stuff! I saw it on Netflix using a VPN, and for the most part, the stream was fine. No glitches or issues like another event from the past month or so. Just the initial buffer took a little longer than usual, I'm guessing because of the VPN. Also, The Rock calling out Ted was hilarious stuff: "If I find out later I'm glitching, I'll Squid Games your candy a**!" Only he can get away saying stuff like that to someone who did a $5B deal with his company.

Where have you been?

Happy New Year, everyone!

Gotta hand it to her...

Metaphor: ReFantazio all the way... Super duper fun and one of Atlus' finest ever!

Coz they're not funding the studio (or its games) anymore. The deal with Epic was announced quite some time ago, and that automatically meant multiplatform.

Concord: Reboot. It's rumoured to have a "ZOMG P0ny4Lyf" edition, too.

Tears of joy when I saw the word ICO during the trailer. Even if there was a GTA trailer, this would've been the best announcement for me. Now, the wait begins... Hopefully 2026, at the most.

Keep playing...

Proper n00b-brain comment. People whose parents are from different races are called multi-racial. From the looks of it, one of the main character's parents would be of African origin and the other parent would be of Asian origin. Hence, she is multi-race. Don't worry, there's nothing woke about it. It's just logic...

Using the words "rickshaw" and "fare" in the same post is just...

This also means that you are old.

Bought the Pixel 9 Pro last week (Sunday, November 17th, to be precise). Got the Hazel colour (coz the local Croma didn't have Obsidian ). Solid experience so far. Superb phone! The in-hand feel is very, very good. I also got a couple of first-party cases (Hazel and Black) and they're just too good. I don't usually like using cases/screen protectors on my phone, so not sure how long I'll be using the cases. Let's see... Also, got the official 45W charger. That's shaped like a larger version of the Pixel Buds Pro case (lol), so it doesn't feel like a wall adapter in a traditional sense. Does the job of fast-charging the phone very well. I was on a Pixel 6 before this and the overall jump in quality - in terms of the hardware (build quality, cameras, more RAM, etc.) feels like a generational leap. And no, I don't play mobile games at all (except Pokémon TCGP), so the benchmark scores don't mean anything to me. Speaking of cameras, photos are ace, as usual. But a special mention for the extra telephoto lens, FTW! It's one of those things that you don't know that you're missing out on, until you use it. The uniformity across lenses in terms of the colour science (especially from the viewfinder) and overall look and feel is insane. The jump in video quality from 3 years ago feels significant, too. Obviously, not iPhone-levels, but it's getting pretty close, IMO. The heating issues, compared to the Pixel 6, is negligible. Only experienced it once, only slightly heating up (nothing unbearable, just higher than usual) during an extended session of taking photos and videos. No issues with radio signals (Wi-Fi/4G - silly Vodafone doesn't support 5G yet, so cannot test that) at all. No issues with the fingerprint scanner at all, either. Super fast and snappy. I've set-up face unlock anyway, which goes straight to the home screen from the lockscreen. Just like the iPhone. Battery life has never been an issue for me with a Pixel (had the Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 4a, Pixel 4a 5G, Pixel 6, Pixel 8 - the missus uses this currently), and this phone is no different. It literally learns how you use the phone and your charging habits and lasts accordingly. On a new phone, you can easily see the difference in battery life if you compare Day 1 vs Day 3 onwards. Overall, super satisfied with the phone, and planning to rock it for at least 3 years or so.

Why India’s 6Ghz spectrum dilemma is affecting PS5 Pro console launch in the country https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/technology/why-indias-6ghz-spectrum-dilemma-is-affecting-ps5-pro-console-launch-in-the-country/article68897280.ece ------ Article for those thinking that Sony not being able to sell the PS5 Pro in India is a "lame excuse, CoZ ThErE R OtHeR DeViCeS DaT hAvE Wi-Fi 7 and they still release in India." I know it's a paid article, but I'm sure all of us know how to bypass paywalls, if needed...

The Indian store usually updates at 5:30 AM IST. The deals are live now.

Haven't yet. Not sure if I should, coz I don't see much value in keeping money blocked in the Deluxe tier.

- Yes, I was on a monthly plan from October (coz I didn't see the value of PS+, since I was gonna be busy playing the newer releases of the year, anyway). That plan was supposed to run out on November 23rd (auto-renewal was cancelled). - I have always been on Deluxe ever since the tiers were introduced. On a different note, crazy thing happened last night when I checked the console. I was getting the option to stack, at the discounted price. Sony is awesome!

Darkplates 1.0 were only released in Black, AFAIK. So, those are the ones I have.

Don't mean to rub it in, but...
