Here’s a good example. I find Bethesda RPGs largely mediocre, only saved by incredible modding communities. So when I hear someone played vanilla Fallout 3 on PlayStation 3 or something that feeling springs up, and I wish they could’ve had what I consider a more fulfilling experience enhanced by mods, 60 fps, etc. Of…

The wife and I lasted about two years.  But I snore badly and roll around, a lot.  So when we moved into the new house (11 years ago), I started sleeping in the “guest” bedroom.  I also picked out the mattress on the guest bed because it was mine when I was single and much much preferred the hard stiffness of that…

Choosing not to play a good game rather than a bad one from a backlog seems really dumb to me.

He’s saying the FOMO of WANTING to play all the games means he buys all the games, regardless of whether he actually has time to play them. So company makes money whether he plays the game or not.

To them, a backlog game is any you’ve bought and never played or only partially played. I, however, feel that a backlog is any game, owned or not, that you have at least a little bit of interest in playing. And this is where I get stuck.

You bought it on sale: It’s in your backlog. Doesn’t matter when you bought it. Doesn’t matter how marked down it was. If you picked up a game on sale, it automatically goes into your backlog.

Quick-Start because it annoyed me I couldn’t remember what it was.

It is, and I’m working on it. If something is on sale now, it will surely go on sale again later. And I sure as hell don’t need to buy anything now, I have too many things to play. I get tired of answering “I bought it but haven’t played it yet.” My backlog is exacerbated by the fact that I spend too much time playing…

Sharp’s implementation of CEC has always been garbage. What I love is that by default Sharp TVs completely power down all components required to turn the TV back on except through IR (HDMI, serial, network, etc). You have to go turn on the fast-boot, quick-boot, something, I forget exactly what it’s called in the menu…

The jump pack sections were stupidly fun.

Firefox has an FTP client built into it as well, which I didn’t think was novel until I realized Chrome and Edge apparently don’t while trying to get to an FTP site on a different computer. Just a random thing I stumbled across the other day.

They still have it in the little fridge at the front of my local Microcenter.  They’ve got the regular blue one, a red cherry one, and a rootbeer version as well. 

On one hand, I’m excited they got the original creators back involved. On the other hand, they did Korra so dirty, constantly changing the release windows or where you could watch it, that I kind of don’t want Nick to do anymore Avatar at all.  Just let it be.

Oh no, you’ve reminded me that Tusk exists. 

That’s interesting.  I had no idea. 

They actually made it way easier to get to now on the webpage.  Go to store.playstation.com and login.  Click on the Subscriptions tab in the middle bit and scroll down.  It’ll show you all of the active Plus games and you can add them right there.

Nathan does, in paragraph 8

The Blog post says they can still be viewed.

Let me introduce you to my DA of choice lately:

Does anybody remember that Powers show where for like five minutes Sony decided they were going to start making their own content for PS Plus?
