My thoughts:
Mostly announcements with release dates.
Wolverine, GOW Laufey, Onimusha looks good.
September is stacked!!!
Onimusha Free demo is live so will be playing that tonight.

Not usually a gaming content creator I make game dev content. Just did it since I wanted to talk about it and have been doing a let's play series with London for some craic that's been going well

Not monetized or anything and this old channel will be back to being abandoned soon enough lmao

Let me know what ye think

My adhd has me playing 10 different games a day . I rage a lot

Hey guys!

Where do you buy your replacement mouse skates from? Anywhere local?

Hello everyone! Murder Meet Cute is an interactive fiction game taking heavy inspiration from 90s FMVs and other 90s media. It's currently being made in the spare time of 3 people; myself (Kitty), usually a Producer by trade, but sitting as director and co-writer of this game. I'm originally from Belfast, but live in NL rn. Our Art Director Christina is still up in Belfast with her studio Crybaby Studios. Lastly, our creative director (and programmer) Raph is living in Canada.

We've had an absolute blast working on this! We really just wanted to release something together, but we're also secretly hoping maybe we can earn enough to make the next thing. Feel free to wishlist if you like the look, and do let us know if yas have any thoughts! This is the second trailer I've cut and it is significantly higher effort than the first one, but there's always room for improvement. Also demo should be coming in the next month or so, so keep an eye out for that! Cheers

Lad is nagging me for VR goggles. I can't really tell ho much of a novelty it really is vs actually a worth-while buy.

What does the game variety look like?
Is it compatible with some staple games (e.g. Minecraft)?
Any brands I should look out for (or avoid)?

Thanks

Another week, another chance to dive into something new — or return to an old favourite. Let us know what you’re playing right now, or even what you’ve just finished.

Feel free to share:

• The game you’re currently into
• New Releases/News
• Screenshots or clips
• Recommendations
• Anything gaming‑related you’re excited about this week

Whether you’re grinding the AAA's, exploring the old classics, chilling with indies, just picking something up after work, or the "just one more round" you can't put down, shout it out.

G'luck!

Hi all,

We will be making some changes to our site in the coming weeks.

But before then we are doing a big clearance.

Cheers again to everyone and anyone who has previously purchased from us. Ye are greatly appreciated.

Our website is www.8BitX.ie

I’m gonna post it in here after the mods in the Steam Machine subreddit deleted my previous post (although it had plenty of engagement & discussion between people).

Is anybody else willing to wait for both Xbox Project Helix AND the Steam Machine to be released into the market to compare and contrast?

I imagine the Steam Machine specs just won’t be worth it in terms of value for money in comparison to the next-gen Xbox console?

I understand the simplicity of just turning on the machine and having Steam at our fingertips but if it’s as easy as downloading the Steam app on the next-gen Xbox, signing in and playing games then 🤷‍♂️

Right folks, the unfortunate time has come again. PS5 controller is starting to drift in the left stick. Anyone have recommendations for controllers? I know Smyths are currently doing a sale on controllers at the minute but interested to see if anyone has any praises for any third party ones.

On a side note, this has been my 4th controller to get stick drift and while I’ve had the controller for about a year and a half, I only started using it maybe 6-ish months ago. Ever since launch, I’ve done my best to be really careful with them but they always seem to drift sooner or later. As a comparison, my Switch Pro controller that I’ve had since 2019 still performs like new, so I really think it’s just how the dualsense is built that’s the problem. Should I just bite the bullet at this stage and get the Edge controller?

I'd like to sell it, what is the best way to do this for both parties? I am no scammer, I sell on Adverts, 600 positive feedback. I just want to sell it for less and give the money to my kids so they can use it for Fortnite or whatever. How are these sales normally done?

Cannot wait to try this controller with the BOND game tonight! Anyone who is playing or is done with the game drop your thoughts! I have not played any Hitman games so this one is going to be my first IOI game.

Lads where do yous buy used PC parts? All I seem to see on adverts and Facebook is massively overpriced full systems and the odd part I’m looking for here and there at double what it should cost. Where should I be looking?

Hello! I realise this sub is primarily video games but figured there might be a bit of overlap with board games, mods can remove it if not appropriate.

Has anyone any experience in buying or trading second hand board games in Ireland and where best to do it?

Adverts can be fairly hit and miss, apparently there's a fairly good Facebook marketplace page but then you'd need to use Facebook.

Hi all quick question has anyone connected a gaming laptop to a tv to play games on I’ve a ps5 connected to my pc but I want to play pc games on a bigger screen than my laptop is it easily done ? Meaning once I connect them can I shut my laptop screen down and is there a mode that acts just like a pc ? It’s a Lenovo loq14 thanks !

Well, Im deeply yearning for one - but recent price panic about the steam machine is filling me with concern. I prob wouldnt pay more than 1k for it, as I already have a VR headset. Anyone else interested, or have any takes on that?

I love the GAA, and have all my life. Didn’t play the original game 20 years ago because I was a child and don’t even think I knew what a PlayStation was at the time of its release.

From anyone who’s played the game, outside of the poor graphics ( I don’t care about them ) and the clunky early game issues, like the tackling ( which they’re apparently very receptive to issues being reported and getting out fixes ), is the game itself remotely decent ? I don’t expect high quality whatsoever, but could I play for example a career mode without ripping my hair out due to any game breaking glitches ?

I know €35 is probably a bit steep for what the game is now, but I’m not too bothered about the price. I’m just happy a GAA game exists and would like to be able to play it without it taking years off my life. Is that possible ?

hello, i came on here to ask if anybody has any websites / links or knows anyone that is selling p3r for cheapish. the lowest price i found was €31 on amazon but im kinda broke and only have €20.57 to my name right now💔 if anyone would be interested in selling it to me, pls reply to this post or message me. vinted would be my preferred way to pay for it as i can see the game, both sides get protection and postage is easily sorted and bought by me.

ive no games left and have been dying to play this game so PLEASE if anyone has it let me know if your selling it 😭

Hi y'all! I have a two questions, first of them I'm looking for stylus for 3ds XL as I DONT HAVE ONE, I wanna go and get it instantly coz I don't have a stylus now at all, does any of you guys knows where is any kind of shop in Dublin area that would have them? I looked at CeX, GameStop etc, but nothing there...

The second question is maybe someone have some spare, old stylus for ds? Even better if its dsi XL or 3ds XL, I really hate using a finger coz this type of screen just requires using a stylus (typical resistive touch screen)

Cheers everyone!

(Don't shout at me guys, I already ordered 10 metal telescopic ones and 3 x 4 pack of simple plastic ones on AliExpress along with other stuff, but literally ordered them in Friday afternoon and my combined parcel is estimated to be in about 3-4 weeks, so far by 16-22 of June but I hope it may go one week less when the machine will start processing it etc, but hate using finger and genuinely would love a stylus for this 3 weeks when I'm waiting for a parcel)

I’m taking a week off and I’ll probably pull an all nighter on the night of release, I cannot wait for this game to come out, even if the game isn’t that good, I gotta see what took them so long to make it!

Do you guys think we’ll see a nomination for the new GAA game at the game awards this year ? I’m hoping for an orchestra to play songs from the game itself it seems quite a few games like resident evil requiem and crimson desert will have competition this year.
