Yep, I gave up on most PvP games ages ago. It’s all far too toxic with either cheaters or people spewing hateful and racist speak. Ive got better things to do with my limited amount of free time.

Just got back into CSGO 6 years after taking a break, only played a handful of times in the years since. After a week of playing solidly, I have to say I’m absolutely done with the game. It has been so toxic and infested with suspect players, some subtle, others not so much.

Glorious toys thou.... 

All true, but I still think that, for this game, the COBRA tank should be a HISS and the Joe tank should be the MOBAT or Mauler.  I would totally play this game for those two vehicles.  My god, an entire Joe-themed MMO Battlefield-type game would be just the nostalgia bomb I crave.  Flight Pod?  Yes please!  Skyhawk? …

This weekend is for a big grocery shopping trip, making a new (to me) cake recipe, and more slow progress in Persona 5 Strikers. I’m having fun with it, but I just haven’t had a ton of time and I find it’s best played either in short bursts of grinding or long sessions of narrative progress. I am, however, delighted…

I took advantage of a particularly good sale to finally pick up Horizon Zero Dawn on PC, so I’ll be chipping away at that when I can sneak off to the back room. Since most of my gaming is while I’m on the couch in the living room, I’ll probably keep chipping away at Hades. I’m now 60 runs in with only one trip to face…

I started playing Buddy Simulator 1984 this week. I’m almost done with it, so I’m gonna wrap that up. It’s kind of losing me despite being so short, but I do wanna know what happens, so I’ll stick it out.

I’ve kind of suspected for a couple of years that I might have ADHD (among other mental health issues), which is…

oh, so thats where all the talent in the world went.

Kirk indeed rules. I am—and will remain—eternally bummed that our tenures here did not overlap.

Kirk rules. This cover is very strong.

I would buy a Hamilton & Bird whistling album

Timed exclusivity, while a diplomatic solution, is still pretty pointless. I still never have touched Rise of the Tomb Raider, because it was exclusive for a year, and by the time it released on PS4, I was already playing other things too often to care.

Post the PC parts picker link where I can get a comparable power for 500

It isn't honorable, it is mandatory due to existing contracts. MS would have to pay Sony some serious money to reclaim those games.

Stop, STOP! It’s just making me want to dive back in! 

Its been a busy week at work this week. I wrapped up Carrion last night. It’s really good. I played it through Gamepass, which I am really enjoying as a service. I definitely would not have bought Carrion otherwise, as horror games aren’t really my bag. Still working on Yakuza: Like a Dragon. I might try Nier Automata…

Gonna continue my slow journey through P5 Strikers—only at the second jail now, did a little bit of grinding for gear and items, fused a few more new personas, and generally just getting the combat flow down even more. I’m enjoying it a lot still. 

I am nearing an end in Dark Souls 3. I won the church fight club. I beat the No Eyes Black Dragon. I made the old man pay the troll toll to get into this boy’s Dark Soul. I believe there’s one more boss to beat after I put Prince Tiny Tim’s ashes on his throne, but I feel like a conclusion is pretty earned at this…

So...the Switch?

I seriously still struggle to understand how simply interviewing more diverse candidates is too burdensome.
