I tweet on a variety of tech, arts, and other subjects I find interesting. Also the occasional poor attempt at a joke or two.

@Talktostu @BladeoftheS To maintain the BBC's political autonomy. In theory, an independently-funded BBC doesn't need to flatter/favour the existing government because they are not reliant upon it for funding (via taxes).

Wondering what justifies the £72 difference in trade-in value between @SamsungUS and @SamsungUK when trying to trade in my Galaxy Watch 4. That's far too much be explained away by taxes, inflation or other...

@the_Bradster007 Did you watch the movie? It is clearly stated the Zola developed an algorithm to identify current and future threats to Hydra. That is why Dr. Strange is on the list of targets.

[Jon Rolph @jrolph21]

@tomwarren Well, that makes the 50% increase on Game Pass Ultimate OK then...

[Jon Rolph @jrolph21]

@CultureCrave @IGN

[Jon Rolph @jrolph21]

@geoffkeighley But... I don't play Fortnite. Why would I pay 50% more for something I have no use for?

[Jon Rolph @jrolph21]

Literal goosebumps watching the close of #Foundation S3. Haven't been surprised by a show like that in a long time. Awesome ending!

[Jon Rolph @jrolph21]

@tomwarren Who's fault is this, though? Microsoft's or the publisher/developer?

[Jon Rolph @jrolph21]

It can't just be me who feels #Avowed's gameplay (movement and combat, specifically) just feels too... Floaty? I'll probably give it another go at somepoint, but I think it needs some further tweaks before I do.

[Jon Rolph @jrolph21]

@DisneyPlus Your service doesn't offer enough quality content to justify yet another major price hike (totalling 116% from launch). Especially when you're also restricting accounts to limited households. Service cancelled.

[Jon Rolph @jrolph21]

@treknews raises a good point. In an age where streaming services are delisting 1st-party content, physical media is ever-more important. That said, I will only ever buy 4K (for content produced recently), so unfortunately I'll be giving this one a miss https://t.co/mg8m0UOxvQ

[Jon Rolph @jrolph21]

There's so many 'little' QOL issues with #starwarsoutlaws that I can just deal with and keep playing, but the consistent and repeat refusal to register my Adrenaline Rush command, performing a melee attack instead (Alt controls) is downright ridiculous. Fix it please @UbiMassive

[Jon Rolph @jrolph21]

The recent #GamePass price hikes have sealed it for me. Once my current subscription expires I'll be dropping the service. There simply isn't enough value-for-money in the service for me. I'd rather wait a week for the discounts to start and get my games on disc.

[Jon Rolph @jrolph21]

I'll say this for #TheAcolyte, this lightsaber choreography this episode is a VAST improvement over other recent Star Wars productions

[Jon Rolph @jrolph21]

So far, I'm liking the plot of #TheAcolyte but it definitely feels like a B-tier show. Hammy acting and only-OK choreography struggles to reach the quality on display in other #StarWars productions. Sticking with it only to get some value out of my very expensive Disney+ sub 😕

I've been sat here "patiently" waiting for Ubisoft's #SkullAndBones for over ten years, only to find out today that they decided to drop the SP campaign from the game entirely. There goes my interest 🤷‍♂️ Talk about fumbling the cannonball at the touchline https://t.co/I7ApmLIvvq

[Jon Rolph @jrolph21]

@the_prince313 @Simoncuocuo @nocontextfooty It's "greatest athletes", not 'Top 5 most heard-of people around the globe'. The two criteria have no correlation.

[Jon Rolph @jrolph21]

@eurogamer So, they don't have to pay for a voice actor and the T&Cs undoubtedly give them unlimited usage and monetisation rights, in perpetuity, to my voice? Ehhh, pass...
