In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I expect many will sleep on Lil Gator Game but it's one of those rare unsung masterpieces that people hear about in old fables told around a crackling fire

Hellblade 2: Senua's Saga will only run at 30fps on Xbox Series X/S.
The forthcoming game from Ninja Theory has been built exclusively for Xbox and PC using Unreal Engine 5, truly showing the power of the engine.
However, this comes at a cost. As German outlet GamePro has confirmed, the game only runs at 30fps on console with a dynamic resolution. There are no graphics modes, although frame rate can be increased if played on PC.

It's disappointing but I do think 30 fps is probably fine for a game like Hellblade, as long as it's a perfect lock.
The sad reality is that over the last year we've seen that the current consoles will often either give us sub 60 fps performance, or absurdly low resolutions, even sub 1080p at times. I feel like devs have got their priorities all wrong.

It's so frustrating to see performance budgets focused on graphical bells and whistles instead of achieving 60fps. I just finished Ghost of Tsushima and, from an experiential POV, the game feels and plays so much better than games coming out today at 30 fps with more detailed grass textures or whatever.
Unfortunately my suspicion is that devs have strong data to back up the idea that more particle effects and flashy graphics sells games better than solid performance.
