I see no reason to “cut myself off” at any point, I still find games released in the last few years that look interesting, and some with release dates TBD that look neat.

I haven’t bought a new console since July 2015 and have no plans to buy a new generation any time soon.

When my current console dies, I might upgrade, but likely I will find a cheap used replacement and keep playing what I already have.

Someday I will update all my stuff, just not today.

News flash!

This, just in: “Leaders of capitalist meat grinders prepared to lie to keep money flowing and try to pull in more”

I’m shocked.

Having just finished all 3 on my pc…

Dafuq you smokin, Bruh…

I will say though, 1 is the cluniest of them, for sure.

I say this in nearly complete seriousness:

Always has been

🌎🧑‍🚀🔫🧑‍🚀

Both can be true.

I never watched alien growing up, and only half-watched it with a girlfriend (sorry, good movies are great but… Boobs vs stereotypical teenager watching a movie…)

By the time I watched the movie fully, it just held no scare factor for me.

And so many dumb choices were made in Prometheus, it’s hard to take the people seriously when everyone is acting like children who have never been in space or a dangerous situation before.

The cycle:

Step 1: (as a child) “wow this movie was great, I love Greek stuff!”

Step 2: learns a ton about Greek mythology over the next many years due to interest sparked by the movie

Step 3: (likely as a teenager or older, re-watching it one day) “holy shit this movie is absolutely nothing like Greek mythology, why did I ever think it was good…”

Oooh, nice interrobang.

My favorite part of control is how they go into juuuuuuust a little bit of explaining how things work in a science way, and sometimes you can almost feel how things are connected, and then it’s like “Yeah we have no fucking clue how any of this actually works, we’re just trying to keep it all from destroying the universe and keeping notes along the way.”

And then you meet the next thing that almost makes sense. Until it doesn’t.

I don’t remember if I ever finished AW but I do believe I have the disk around here somewhere. The control dlc definitely rekindled my interest.

Control was great

I love games that make me think outside the box

Having owned a couple low end printers, the ender 3 is my favorite budget option.

I’ve installed a couple upgrades, some of which I 3d printed on the printer itself, but my favorite ones are the borosilicate glass bed with a thermal pad to help spread out the heat quickly, and a dual z axis stepper motor.

If you’re not into tinkering, I’ve heard good things about Bambu, although I do not know much about them myself. Apparently they’re more user-friendly.

I enjoy working on my devices, but I would like something with more reliability than “recalibrate everything for every single print” sometimes.

It really is a hobby where spending just a little bit more will get you a ton of extra features and user experience.

“hey let’s release the same thing over and over again, charge almost full game price for it, and whenever something new comes out, just delete everything they’ve already paid for.”

“hey why aren’t people continuing to buy our game…”

Yeah. Great mystery, that one.

Bungie will never get another dollar from me.

Soylent billionaires: food for the rich.

As someone who never planned on playing Balatro, and was kind of getting tired of seeing it on my feed the way I got tired of helldivers 2 stuff right after release.

I would happily toss a tenner to the dev for a lawyer over this.

Make every company that has a whistleblower die in ANY way face extremely heavy penalties including, but not limited to: 75% taxing on all income for a period of time as part of a fine, jail time for executives, board members, and potentially large shareholders, potential nationalization of the company, etc

Make every company afraid to have a whistleblower die. Make them want to hire private security and pay for all health expenses to ensure the person lives because the alternative is the company ceases to exist in any way that benefits those in charge.

I thought that was the expectation?

They introduced us to a younger Witcher that the Geralt was training, Geralt’s story came to an end…

It felt like that’s what they were intentionally setting up, a totally Ciri-focused next game.

Yeah, I don’t think anyone would ask you “Are you okay with sitting at the bar with nazis?” yet plenty will happily judge you for saying “I’d rather not have to deal with MAGAts and their opinions”

Sorry but if your opinion is “trans people aren’t people” or “blacks need to know their place” then your opinion is shit and no the fuck I don’t have to listen to it

“tech enthusiast” vs “IT guy” in a nutshell.

Tech enthusiast: a little privacy breach is okay, as a treat for the headphones I already paid them money for. It’s not their fault their app wants to know these things. It’s mostly all good.

IT guy: shoot it 417 times after you uninstall it to make sure it’s truly no longer on your phone.

Side story: I forgot my good earbuds at home one day and decided I didn’t want to hear tools all day, so I bought a new pair at the store I was working at that day. 2 minutes later I’m at the counter again to return them because they wanted me to download an app and wouldn’t pair without it. Bought a $1 pack of earplugs instead.

… And?

Why do we give a shit?

Why is this newsworthy?

Are we going to hear about his time working in retail soon? I’m sure it will provide deep insight to find out which store he worked at for 3 months, 8 years ago. clearly that’s relevant information.

My condolences to your ears and temporal lobe.
