Yeah, I work from home full time and wouldn’t mind having a day or two in-person, because I feel that does work the best if only to break up the monotony of barely leaving the house every day. That being said, I would hate switching back to full time in-office.

That was actually on the cheap side for an NES game. I can remember paying $50 for an NES game in the 80s.

Yeah, I haven’t played it at all, but I had no idea it was a survival/crafting game. I’d just seen it marketed as Pokemon with guns. And as such, I assumed the Pokemon with guns part would be within the first couple of hours at the very least.

I still feel they should have just called the WiiU the Wii2 and it would have sold phenomenally better. It would be self explanatory to anyone as to what it was.

Stadia actually wasn’t a bad idea and wasn’t a bad product either. It was just terribly marketed and supported. Also, the tendency for Google to kill products led to a feedback loop of people don’t want to get invested in it for fear of them killing it, so they don’t buy into it, Google sees it failing so they pull…

Eh, it’s just a fun thing to look back at the year and remember what I played and when. I’m not viewing it as “time I’m not getting back”. I enjoyed spending that time playing the games I played. If I didn’t, I wouldn’t play games.

The character building system completely different than it was on release. They’re totally different systems. That’s probably the biggest change. The original system has been scrapped entirely and replaced with something new.

I was admittedly a critic of the game when it first came out and it wasn’t for bugs or performance reasons. I didn’t hate it, I just thought everything it did was pretty mediocre. The character building wasn’t very good, the skill trees were a mess and there’s was no way to reset them (I think there actually was a way,…

Isn’t there only going to be one slim system and the drive is detachable? As far as I knew, the digital and disc versions were the same, they were just going to be selling the disc version with the disc add-on included in the box.

Looks like I’ll be picking up a PS5. I know it’s a little silly but I hated the gargantuan size and the horrible shape of the original. So, I refused to buy it. This one looks a good bit smaller and I don’t hate the look of it.

Yeah, they’d tell you how the deed to your house was going to be an NFT on the blockchain in the future for some unspecified reason. I sure look forward to the future where I lose my house due to some wallet hack. Sounds great.

Some collector’s editions aren’t worth retail later on, but others are worth a ton. So, it’s not really a fair comparison. I’d compare this to the World of Warcraft Collector’s Edition (the original 2004 release), which was initially going for like $250-$500 shortly after release. I just looked it up on eBay to see…

Yeah, my sorcerer gets a turn and I blow up like three enemies at once. It’s a lot of fun to play. I still get to use the rest of the party to get up close and swing swords.

Seriously. I’ve added little things to wikipedia here and there for many years, but I’ve never been one of the people to make huge articles or anything.

Maybe a reboot of the Resistance series? It’s the only first party Sony FPS that comes to mind off the top of my head.

Not really, it’s just an extension of the work done with the Beatles Anthology in the 90s. The three remaining Beatles released two new songs, Free as a Bird and Real Love, using vocals from two of Lennon’s demos so all four could technically perform together on the same song again.

Part of the idea is if your favorite subreddits are dark, you won’t visit reddit at all. That’s what I’m doing. The subs I would normally go to reddit for are dark. So, I’m just not using reddit today. Deleting your account doesn’t send as much of a message because it’s permanent. If you just stop using it today and…

I have a 5 year old daughter and yeah it never occurred to me how loud movie theaters were until I took her to the movies and she was literally holding her hands on her ears for the first part of it. I felt so bad. She eventually got used to it, but I guess with TV and music we just don’t play the audio very loud…

I wasn’t sure if they were gone or I should expect, “You just don’t understand, bro.” comments here.

Not in the US. Legally, if you are sent something, it’s considered a gift and is yours. This law was instituted to crack down the Columbia House sort of companies who send you stuff you didn’t ask for and then demand you pay for it.
