I love this game. Because I play on a pc, I guess I am not experiencing the same issues as many console players. I just take the patches as they come.

Hotfixes are interesting. When a dev has built up a tremendous amount of goodwill with fans, one or even four hotfixes to fix bugs introduced in a major update patch are A-OK (Stardew Valley 1.54. Computer code is an evil, possibly self-aware beast that hates its creators, but it can be brought to heel!)

step right up and pick your dog whistle folks

I have to say, I have thoroughly enjoyed watching hedge fund parasites get a good and proper comeuppance while simultaneously demonstrating the need for aggressive Wall Street reform.

Your father was Ted Dibiase? 

When I said “Separate” I meant “literally a separate option on the menu, like the other characters’ DLC in Arkham Knight,” but you answered my question, thanks!

I’d be super pissed if I bought the Ultimate edition in anticipation of the PS5 free upgrade

This feels like the stock market equivalent of Eve Online. I’ve still no clue what’s really going on, but find it amusing to read about it all the same.

It was crazy being just sort-of poor as a kid. I was definitely playing NES and SNES well into the Playstation/N64 era (though eventually I did start to catch up when I had my own income). There was a lot of borrowing consoles from friends who were willing to part with them for a day or two. Or just being satisfied…

That’s pretty cool. My parents would occasional try to play a game system we owned but they were always bought for us. My kids, on the other hand, are lucky little bastards. My son was complaining about the fact that we have final say on what he spends his allowance on and I was like “Kid, because you dad and mom are…

I was incredibly poor as a kid. Didn’t realize how poor I was at the time, but living in a duplex with a stay at home mother and a father that couldn’t hold a job and was a alcoholic (he literally drank himself to death and died one night in his sleep; fifth of Heaven Hill ever day), I never had much of anything. I…

I’m older (53), so games weren’t even a thing until my Dad picked up a Pong machine at Sears (the first deathmatch). Luckily, he was into PCs (then a ‘new’ technology), so he got into old text games like Hamurabi, Police Quest, and even later, Doom. We stayed active, and did our schoolwork, so gaming time was never…

Dads gonna Dad!

My father, a former amateur race car driver, bought us an Atari 2600 solely so he could play Pole Position.

Moving forward in Demon’s Souls and also Hitman 3 shenanigans!

I’m not playing it this weekend, but I am super excited that I scored a PS5 order from Best Buy yesterday! Store pickup on Wednesday and I already have copies of Miles Morales and DIRT5 waiting, lol. Not trying to brag, just thought I wouldn’t be able to snag one til February at the earliest, so I am happy with the luc…

I have completed most of the Ashes DLC in Dark Souls 3. Highlights: going toe-to-toe with the massive Vikings and winning tradeoffs with a sliver of health left. Lowlights: flymen and birdmen. I am now facing the Take Your Daughter to Work boss at the end. I was trying to absorb all the damage and hit back, a strategy…
