Also, my wife and I played a ton of Everquest when we were dating. We’re at 17 years of marriage now, so the video games don’t seem to have been a problem.

PC and Switch games are how my kids play with their friends. The only way they’ve played with their friends for almost a year.

My wife would be disgusted if I asked to play XBox.  She knows we're a PC/PlayStation/Switch family.

My rig is a couple of years old and I can play with low or medium graphics settings without crashes, but sometimes textures don't load properly, so I get a blob walking around in front of me.  But I also get disappearing assets.  For instance, early on, there was a hidden floor safe I was supposed to find that was…

I am 90% my wife got me this for Christmas, so if it makes you feel better, I’m going to be spending the morning pretending to be super excited about a physical copy of a game I may not be able to play.   :D

Apparently, it's what I call an avatar.  The image for your profile.

About 1 in 10 fights includes my opponent and I slowly ascending above the ground as we brawl, sometimes ending a half dozen feet in the air.

I was complimented on my “pfp” on a Zoom call today and had to frantically google.

I wish some of those suicidal rabbits would head over to AC Valhalla.  How is it so hard to kill half a dozen rabbits?  And more critically, how do half a dozen rabbits only net me two rabbit feet?!

Long ago, I had a girlfriend who was attending a conservative, all-girl’s college in Virgina. I’d included a vibrator in a care package and then received a return letter stuffed with cash and a note explaining that basically every girl on her dorm’s floor wanted me to get them a vibrator. So, I went to a sex shop and…

I mean, there are mentions of anabatic cars and presumably the city layout is more or less the same as in her world, so it doesn’t seem impossible that Coulter could make her way around.

That’s probably my biggest question about all of this. Wouldn’t it have been better, say 6 months ago, to just go “You know what? We tried, but it’s too big. This is going to be a next generation console game only.”?

My daughters play on their phones and/or laptops with friends who are playing on their phones/laptops and often just have a Zoom call going as well.  The cross-platform play has been a big selling point, so if the Switch version is compatible with PC & phone versions, it’ll do fine.

Interestingly, I beat the game before doing all the anomalies.  Now, when I do them, I play as "Basim" and he starts them by saying, "Oh, yes, my anomalies.  Let's see how that worked out."

I just realized that my friend’s complaint of “It’s really weird, you have to put the games in with the art side down” really just means that he also has it upside down.

What a time to be alive!

Can we count foster fathers, a la Ghost of Tsushima?

For Zealots, a couple wolf+stomp will solve that problem

“We program in a dark room” explains so much.  

For me, it’s a compromise.  I like shooting on the keyboard/mouse.  I like driving on the console.  Then I have to figure out how to buy GTA.  (I go console because I -hate- driving on the PC)
