Power Washer Simulator is a game in which you pressure wash filth off vehicles and buildings and suchlike. It is superb. 

There is already DLC that adds Tomb Raider, Final Fantasy, and Spongebob Squarepants things to clean. The BTTF will presumably include the Delorean and other things.

When you are playing a simulation of power washing a car you gotta wonder if you should be spending more time playing your guitar!

Sporky

I haven't played a guitar in at least three years.

That's a serious power washer simulator addiction problem right there....seek help.

I play cello nearly every day!

Theres three new free bonus levels too.

I said something like this once and @Sporky told me off.

I wouldn't worry about it. I tell a lot of people off for all sorts of things. Usually it's me. 

(also sorry)

Don't be. Someone had to!

Well I suppose that's kinda a degenerate form of guitar.....

Can't believe the bike part is in the ffvii remake, I absolutely hate it. 

Edit: Yeah that felt just as bad as I remember it. I can't judge the distance between my bike and the enemies, and I just swipe at thin air.

I'm at what i assume is the final battle now and im sorry but this is just utter dog shit. Why take one of the best games ever made and turn it in to something that's exactly the same as everything else? 
I feel like every action game is the same thing. Run around in a circle rolling about but either as a pirate or a Viking or a samurai or apparently FFVII characters now.

In the original I would just stay in one location and grind for ages, and I feel like that element has been taken out of it. 
Perhaps they wanted to try bring it to a new audience who prefer more action game and don't want to grind turn based battles for hours to level up their materia or limit break level.

What annoys me is I know I'm going to have to buy the next one cos I still want to see how they do the story.

Maybe don't play Biomutant then.

Ps5 took a bit to set up - my TV is a bit older, so it is 4k but didn't just plug and play. I had to boot into safe mode and change the copyright protection to the older version for it to work. But now it does work, it's pretty good! Quieter for sure.

Playing demons souls. It's good. Clunky as heck, which is nice really - I was worried it would play like elden ring but it's much more like ds1. Happy days. 

I can also get lawn mower simulator on my ps+ extra premium super duper sub (such a dumb sub model). May give that a go for unwinding after work, especially as I'm still having neighbourly troubles. Anything to help me not get worked up!

Is anyone playing Starfield then?

Yes I'm about 16 hours in.

Currently involved in a faction questline that would have been an amazing game all on its own. And it's not even the main plotline. Totally engrossing. 

The game has a bit of a slow start, but a few hours in it blossoms into game of the year.

Interesting. It seems there is a very mixed reaction. Some are very disappointed with it, some loving it. I think the main complaint is that it's not what they thought it would be with all the loading screens etc. How have you found that?

I'm waiting for my version which is released on 6th, so can't play it yet. 

Re: loading screens - have you played skyrim and/or Fallout?

PWS is very therapeutic. I've recommended it to a couple of my patients who are in a mental health crisis, as well as gaming in general.
