Yeah, Nintendo is smoking unfiltered crack, lol. Who the hell has $80-90 to throw at every game in the midst of an unnecessary economic downturn and possible worldwide meltdown?

A lot of the top movies got mixed reviews from friends and family. I saw some that were meh. Hope next year has some better ones.

This is giving me PTSD over my Comcast router/modem combo. It had no venting, so it suffered from overheating problems, despite having a fan (it would cause the internet performance to degrade dramatically). Eventually I just shucked the entire thing and ran it without it’s plastic chassis. It ran perfectly after that.

I also said half life. Doom was a leap forward, but Half life actually set a technological and story telling bar, on a budget, in 1998. Many videogames drew inspiration from its innovations, storytelling or themes.

There was a less than flattering YouTube video comparing the two. Valve put a ton of engineering behind the game that was apparently quite difficult to emulate. The results appeared half-baked when compared side by side.

I would love a l4d3 though!

No problem! :)

You might like Last Train Home. Every soldier loss is permanent and there’s only so many you can find/rescue.

Based on true events, which is the most insane part. It’s kinda like frostpunk and an RTS game mixed together, which is very satisfying. Souls-like difficulty.

I should set one up. Is it a huge pain in the ass?

I like the one that sells your data about your sexual orientation, lol. It’s just so beyond the pale these days.

How’s the Intel GPU treating ya? Looks awesome!

God, back in uni with free electricity and internet in the dorms, we managed to seed over a terabyte of data before IT got suspicious and turned off that port. Then we seeded over slower wifi until they turned the port back on next semester, haha. Good times.

That was where we learned that the pirated copies of stuff were easier to find, higher quality, and worked on hardware that websites declared “too old” to stream their content. It all started when we had a bunch of people over to watch a movie, and Amazon refused to play it on older hardware. It instantly converted half a dozen people to piracy, lol.
