  • Started playing Horizon Forbidden West again on my Christmas vacation. I put it down after completing the first area, but have some renewed interest.

    I am also finishing up Death’s Door on my Steam Deck, which is a great little game.

    I am also going to try something I did in the past to help get me through some games. I’m going to set a goal of completing 2 games a month. The biggest issue in the past was not putting down games that weren’t interesting me enough. I have the free time, just need that extra motivation.







  • I’ll be honest, I was in favor of Microsoft acquiring ActiBlizzKing. I didn’t have faith in the existing leadership and Microsoft has mostly taken a hands off approach with its developers. Since the acquisition, things have been mostly OK, at least on the Blizzard side. The biggest issue I have seen has been increased monetization, especially for WoW and D4. Not game ruining, but concerning.

    For this acquisition, FROM doesn’t appear to have management issues. I also do not like the direction Sony has been taking things, especially with their PC releases. They are also the market leader on Consoles, so I do not see this as required to stay competitive.

    I think the cost of WoW has been fairly reasonable over the last 20 years. The subscription has stayed the same price of $15 per month the whole time, and if you know you are going to play WoW for the whole year, it is just $13 per month with an annual sub. The only thing that has gone up in price is the expansions which have gone from $40 to $50.

    I think another point that you are missing is that WoW players often spend most of their game time playing WoW, which means they spend less on buying other games.

    Wow what a win! What do you hope he accomplishes in the first 90 days? What are you most excited for?

    Nothing because he ran a platform of nothing. He won purely because he had an R next to his name.

    Edit- please don’t downvote if you don’t like him just move on. This is the state’s reality, he’s going to be writing and signing policies on our behalf.

    There is no karma here. Don’t think that assholes like you are welcome here just because your orange turd is sitting in the white house again.


  • I bought the PS4 Pro as well, because it didn’t feel like a bad value. It felt like a mid gen refresh where we got some extra power for no extra cost. Sony thinks players care about the extra performance for another $200, which is ridiculous. Up until this generation, consoles got cheaper over time as they become cheaper to produce. This is the first generation (that I remember) where the cost has stayed the same/gone up.

    I fully agree that at $500, this would be a no-brainer for those wanting the extra power. A $350 base console would be a good pairing.
