I was really hoping that Tomb Raider was going to be a game about much smaller melees - maybe hunting 2 or 3 characters at a time through the brush quietly with stealth... I didn’t realize she going full Rambo.

It’s happening, along with the Broken Earth series.  https://www.tor.com/2021/03/15/n-k-jemisin-inheritance-hundred-thousand-kindgoms-tv-adaptation/

If this had gameplay similar to Genshin, where I feel like I’m actually playing a game and not mashing a skill timer, I might be interested. As it is, Genshin (and a few other Gacha games that I have) has already monopolized my phone except for things with excellent gameplay.  This ain’t it.

A few years ago my kids were old enough so we pulled out the Wii and our old games. There were only a few days left of the wii store and I looked at the prices of a bunch of N64/gamecube Mario/Zelda games and just thought they were overpriced. Fast forward to today: my kids have almost finished our entire stock of…

I was one of those people who couldn’t get on.  My internet connection was fine but 5 seconds after connecting I would get booted for lack of connection.  Tried to go through the suggested hints - reinstalling to my C: drive, turned off defender, hooked up my computer directly to ethernet (etc) but same issue. So I’ll…

Really wanted to try this over the weekend when my family was out of town, but I’m getting disconnect messages the very second I join any game.  I’ve tried all the ‘fixes’ online, but nothing is working. (I was playing verminitide 2 and the division all weekend, so internet should be fine)

The only problem I have with this is that if one team is really good they can stay alive indefinitely and the match goes on forever... I would prefer like time max with some sort of tiebreaker.  Then again I don’t play vs. modes very often anymore.

So, I’m an absolute sucker for these games. I played L4D and L4D2 all the way up through expert... and I’ve run through Verminitide (and working on Verminitide 2). Although I find the ‘leveling-up’ features to be a bit annoying, the PVE gameplay in these games is really fun, especially on the more intense levels…

Same.  This was a fun game I  could play  for 15 minutes during breaks in the morning (coffee brewing, CPU loading up etc) and still do pretty well.  I’m at world 23 and have 3-starred up to world 14, so pretty close to you.  I finally got to ‘rainbow tier’ in vs this month... which will be short-lived I guess.

I’m in that ballpark. We’ve paid down most of our bills and house improvements that we needed. My computer is 6 years old, and was only a middle tier CPU at the time. So, I’ve been trying to scrounge older games - I’ve been playing the hal0 - master chief campaign for the last month (which has some issues... had to…

If you got a job that involved a bunch of famous actors, and you had the ability to deliver them a script that would get one of them involved... would you not take it?

I dislike ketcup.  It’s fine, but it’s mostly tasteless. There are so many similar, better condiments to use - not just one eggs, but on EVERYTHING.   Sriracha, jalepeno condiment (the one by yellow bird is very good) salsa (etc, etc etc)

We pulled out the Wii last year and have been playing all the mario games, although for the 3D ones I usually run with the nunchuk and he jumps/spins/aims with the wiimote.  We’ve played through mario galaxy 1 and 2 like 5 times each

I tried to read “Head full of ghosts”, it seems like something I would really like. However, I had a very close friend get diagnosed with schizophrenia in my late teenage years, and I saw his family struggle through that even though they were extremely proactive, informed and prepared for things going badly.  Even if…

Right now my PC can barely play Witcher III, so I’ll be waiting at least a year to get fix up my house before I can get a new PC

So is this movie going to feature a 40min monologue about the honor of drone warfare?

When steam first started, there was a half-life 2 video to test settings to see how your cpu handled the new settings.   So you could ramp up your settings and see when your framerate started to stutter, or see if there was a certain setting your videocard couldn’t handle.  I don’t know why more companies haven’t done…

Dave!  I realize there’s only a bit of election stuff at the end.  But Dave is the best (errr most entertaining?) movie on politics ever.

They won’t cost that much when I get a PS5 is 2026

The x-files episode where they try to investigate a town for Vampires is pretty great.  First 15 min told by Scully, then retold by Mulder with comically different interpretations of the same event. Cameo by Luke Wilson
