Love Precious Roy.

Chester chasing bubbles was also a favourite of mine.

Imagine getting down there only to hear a Winter Lantern singing in the dark 💀

That's a first page that goes fucking hard 😅

The glyphs are a fun gimmick. I wouldn't say you're likely to use them all that much.

Maybe Google around a bit and see what you can find. There will definitely be other mid-range phones that lean more heavily into the camera, but at this price you're always going to be making concessions somewhere.

If you're buying the phone outright then that could work. Provided it's supported for that long, and you can look after it well enough then I don't see why not - you just have to be prepared to pay £800 all at once.

Part of my reasoning is the £400 cost keeps my monthly bill down, as I don't buy the phone outright.

If nothing else, keeping one phone for 6 years would be better for the environment.

In my opinion it's fine. I'm not super into photography or anything so take that with a big grain of salt. I don't take too many pictures, but when I do they seem perfectly serviceable.

They're never going to compare to a newer flagship, mind you.

All of this is more than I'm prepared to pay for a phone these days. It's absurd.

I switched to a Nothing Phone 1 last year (about £400?) and it's been more than capable of handling my daily usage.

I'll keep the thing for three years, then upgrade to another mid-range. I don't need to pay more than twice the price for hugely diminishing returns.

Dunno, but I miss rage comics.

Control starts strong, but I got about two thirds of the way through and still felt like I hadn't progressed the story in any meaningful way, at which point the stylised visuals and combat just wasn't enough to keep me engaged.

I dunno. Maybe I gave up right before things were due to start picking up, but for all the hours I'd sunk into it, I didn't feel like much more than a glorified maintenance woman, with most quests consisting of "go there, flip a switch, come back"

Still, at this price, it's easily worth a punt for anyone with interest.

Also it's 100% "SCP: the game" 😅
