Weird. He’s a young black Democrat. Not what I was expecting at all when I went to see who he was.

While I knew that Elizabeth was their sister, I did just learn a few days ago that Mary-Kate and Ashley are fraternal (and not identical) twins. I always figured they looked a little different grown up because of lifestyle/eating disorders/drugs and possibly surgery.

I mean, that is a feature where they turn on automatically, but there’s also the issue of forgetting to turn them off when you get home. My wife does that all the time, so as soon as I start the car, they start up.

I’m going with Netflix because I strive to watch new things, and they have so much (and so frequent) original programming that I rarely have issues finding something to watch. Yes, there’s a lot of clutter, but there’s so much good stuff (170 Emmy noms last year alone) that any complaints about “mediocre” or “bad”…

That’s great! However, I’m more interested in graphical/performance upgrades though on an actual Series X version than playing the last-gen version, which is why I’m okay just waiting for it. Perhaps they’ll address some of the gripes/issues I’ve seen in videos as well.

I got so frustrated with that game when I first started it I nearly gave up. But once I gave up on the Doom 2016 gameplay approach, I enjoyed it. I’m with you on the level design though.

Going to try to finish up The Medium. It crashed on me a few hours into it and then my saves were gone. Yay. Not sure being forced to replay it from the start counts as replayability....

I have a Series X and will probably pick this up once the version is out for it (and by then hopefully many of the bugs are patched). I’m not planning on buying the current version and then sitting on it for a year waiting for the upgrade to happen.

I’m excited to revisit the trilogy. My biggest complaint about it (and this goes for many games) is the sense of “must defeat the reapers and save the universe and time is of the essence” is really hampered by side-missions. I wish the whole thing was more streamlined to keep the sense of urgency. It’s one of those…

This! I opened a Robinhood account last week but never put funds in but had all my existing stuff in Fidelity. I have had zero issues this week buying and selling GME (only issue is the removed the ability to buy fractional shares yesterday but not sure if that’s a Fidelity decision or not).

So for example if I’m hanging four 8x10 pictures in a 2x2 pattern should the middle of all 4 be at 58" (so the middle of the top row is way above 58" and the bottom row is way below 58")? Or should the middle of the top row be at 58"? Or other?

As a 48 year old dad to a 3 year old and a full time job and other hobbies, I get to play games maybe 5 hours a week, if that. I’ve been avoiding long games for awhile. I need shorter but good single-player games. The last long game I played was Witcher 3 and that took me about 5-6 months to finish. I’ve had Red Dead…

Aw man, I was really looking forward to this. At least it’s on GamePass so I’ve already pre-installed it and will play it anyways. Just disappointed it doesn’t sound nearly as good as I was hoping it would be.

Makes me think a Ready Player One-type game (hopping between videogames and movies and books) would be intriguing. The licensing would be insane though.

And then liberals boycotted Goya because they don’t think the office of the POTUS should be peddling for a company, and in response conservatives bought up a ton of Goya products to own the libs. Eating shitty food to own the libs.

I keep hoping the characters and show will grow on me but I think I’ll probably just give it up. I know it’s hard to not compare to Simpsons or Futurama (the latter took a bit to grow on me as well) so I’ve been trying me best to give it some time to get its legs, but doesn’t sound like it is.

and then add your primary Google account as a member of the household (so you can control the smart display from afar).

I had already decided to wait for the Series X version next year (or maybe the PS5 if I can get one by then). Hopefully by then it’s been patched/fixed/upgraded a bit. If not, I’m not sure if I’ll buy it or not. Maybe pick it up for cheap someday.

Good point about the glass. My super soldier with years of combat experience can’t break down a door or break glass unless it’s a very specific instance. Or can’t move a chair or dresser blocking a door. I know at a certain point you have to have some limits but I would just think there’d be a better way (somehow...I…

I’d like to see more developer focus on refinement of the tech and game ideas. Some examples:

More advanced AI routines (where they still basically run at you or use predictable patterns or “forget” about you a few seconds after losing site of you).

Less bullet/sword/punch sponges with just a healthbar that you have…
