Show me one ad at the bottom of each article. Or the top of you prefer, but you don't need to fill my screen with them or put ads in the middle of sentences so they're split between the top and bottom of my screen.
Obviously, this is just me venting, because I doubt very much they will see it, or change it, even if they do.
Ugh, I'm really getting tired of clicking on articles only to find that it's a #EuroGamer article, so I can't read it. Yes, I know I can read the site for free with ads, but their ads are so overbearing that they take over my phone screen and make it impossible to read articles.
I'm often happy to see ads if I don't want to sub, because I understand that the magazine or newspaper needs to make money somehow.
But EuroGamer is unreadable.
Does anybody else experience this?
This article from #PureXbox https://www.purexbox.com/news/2026/04/xbox-leadership-issues-massive-statement-on-the-future-of-the-brand is one of those pieces that takes a dry press release and runs with it all the way to the graveyard.
The entire Xbox statement is corpospeakāfull of vague lines about āvision,ā ācommitmentā and āthe future,ā but completely lacking in substance.
Iāll die on this hill: this isnāt how you talk to customers you claim to care about. Itās how you posture, beat your chest, and conjure up an ill-deserved sense of nostalgia.
I got a new cup, new books, new pens! So can I be a real student now?
Probably not!
I'm too old, I think, even for university.
But what do you all think?
In 2004 I fell in love with a quirky little #Xbox exclusive: #Fable. Iāve been waiting since 2010 for a real follow-up to what became a beloved franchise.
Seeing #MastersOfAlbion being talked about on #PureXbox https://www.purexbox.com/news/2026/04/fable-creator-says-his-new-game-is-most-significant-event-in-his-entire-40-year-career as the next big thing from Fableās creator feelsā¦ off to me.
Iām not convinced by what Iāve seen so far, and it doesnāt feel like the Fable Iāve been waiting for.
Curious how others feel.
Does this scratch that Fable itch for you, or not?

Not sure what's wrong with this link. Here's the actual one to the article.
This #ITVNews article https://itv.com/news/2026-04-20/mobile-phones-to-be-banned-across-schools-in-england-under-new-plans is a pretty typical reaction when it comes to things people donāt like or agree with.
Ban it!
Thatās often the response; we donāt like it, we donāt agree with it, we donāt fully understand how to manage it, and therefore it should be banned.
How about, instead of banning phones in schools, we actually move with the times and start educating our children on how to use modern tech safely and responsibly?

I think I messed up my build in #cyberpunk2077
Iām aiming for a stealth sniper who uses quickhacks (camera control, distractions), but Iām not sure my attributes support that.
Current stats:
Reflexes 6 / Intelligence 6 / Cool 6
Body 3 / Tech 3
I want to use sniper rifles + some smart guns, mostly staying undetected.
Iām still early gameāshould I respec, or just start prioritizing certain attributes from here? Which stats would you focus on next?
