I got the Series X and the PS5 with disc drive and intended to stick with physical discs.

The convenience of not having to keep digging out discs has turned me towards being almost exclusively digital.

I still enjoy having the option to put in discs from the last generation and buying the odd physical disc on sale, though.

I'm quite strict with myself in limiting myself to 2 or three games on the go at a time, and tend to only move on if I've finished the story. I rarely give up on a game, as I'm quite selective and only start games I'm pretty sure I'd like.

Gamepass does give me a chance to dip my toes into a few games I wouldn't bother with otherwise, but for the most part I quickly discover my instincts were right.

What it is great for is keeping the kids constantly supplied with new stuff to play.

Yes. I'm in the UK and get ads with UK Government Covid advice.

It tried the compatibility test and was told my computer would not run Windows 11.

When I turned my machine off last night it said I needed an update.

Upon booting up this morning, I was surprised to see that I am now running Windows 11!

Between Giant Bomb, Nextlander, Waypoint and Fire Escape there is more content from GB and former GB staff than ever. I'm enjoying listening to them all.

Eagle Flight for PSVR comes to mind.

The last couple of games I have played where there has been a choice were the last two Assassins' Creed games.

I chose to play as a female in both, simply because the reviews said it was a better choice due to the voice acting.

For the most part, I don't really care about the sex of the avatar.

Jeff 2.0 and Danny.

Good to hear.

No other podcast, show or band coming to an end would have hurt as much as Giant Bomb as we know it finishing.

I know Jeff says GB will continue in some form, and if that is the case I'll be there to listen, and will resubscribe to show my support.

But it won't feel like hanging out with the same bunch of 'friends' as we've all enjoyed for more than a decade.

All the best to everyone involved.

Big congratulations. The unsung hero of Giant Bomb.
