We used smile to add a couple hundred dollars every year to my kids’ elementary school PTA, not a whole lot but every little bit helps, especially when it’s not coming directly from the PTA members. The small bit will be missed, and used to help pay for extra programs for the kiddos.

Same for me, I may not even get around to playing it anytime soon, but they can have my money.

Those are variant art cards, they’re all available through the normal unlock method, but it’s random, so who knows when you’ll get one.

Crits do a ton of damage, most of the time one wont kill you, but some weapons can really stack crits, and quickly end you. Gotta make sure you add some verticality into your dodging to avoid them.

I start by humming closing time, then singing the chorus, then “Alexa play Closing time Everywhere”

Everyone seems to be forgetting that that PS4 and PS4 Pro came with hard disk drives (and really poor performance ones based on what I pulled out of mine), and that is what the developers had to program with as their baseline performance. I’m not sure why people keep trying to frame the statement of “Without SSDs,…

I just wanted to point out that compared to the worst performance on the PS4, running on spinning disks, the PS5 is has 55 times the optimal read performance. The differences in the storage between the consoles is staggering. PC gaming aside, we haven’t seen this speed on the console front. I’m hoping developers can…

Before Ratchet & Clank’s summer launch, Insomniac Games was adamant that Rift Apart couldn’t be released on the previous generation of consoles due to its dimension-hopping gameplay. Older consoles that relied on more traditional hard drive technology just wouldn’t be able to keep up,claimed creative director…

No luck with the latest patch. Now sometimes you might get a message stating the opponent has cancelled the match.

The latest patch notes, due out 21:00 7/14, have a line about “Improved Match Making”, I’ll try again after that, but if it doesn’t resolve anything this app goes in the bin. I was really looking forward to a new Godzilla anything.

Yeah seems like trying to find a game this time of day is a no go. Hopefully it’s a time of day thing and not something worse, like not enough players to pair with, or bad match making code.

Got the same sponsored content, though mine had life sized silicon feet instead of Mother Teresa Nut Carving Catholic Church Sculpture

I bought the Super 6-lane raceway for the “kids” last summer, we got some mileage out of it for a few weeks, now it comes out once a month or so. I think we need more cars, I’m sure the kids are just tired of the 100 or so cars we already have, yeah that’s the ticket.

Didn’t notice Second Extinction was a PC Game Pass game, guess I know what I’ll be trying in between taking pictures of pokemon.

I just think of the thumb stick as an extension of my head, to look down the top of my head pivots forward, pivot back I look up. It seems like flight controls on joysticks, reflect that thought process too.

For some reason, the location of the disk slot irritates me.

Depending on how their networks are setup, and it’s been at least a decade (or two) since I was in a classroom, the firewall/network security tools could just block certain protocols or sites. If it becomes a commonly requested feature, Palo Alto, Cisco, Fortinet, release a new content filter to their appliances, and…

My data usage increased by 300GB~ while testing Project Stream. I got the “courtesy” email from Comcast, and stopped playing the last week of the billing period. 300/1000GB is a nice chunk of my cap, and with all my video content coming over streaming services, there’s no room for Stadia in my household. I can go…

For this to really work out, there needs to be more ISPs without monthly data caps. While testing Project Stream, I came really close to my 1TB data cap with Comcast. This may be less of an issue for people that aren’t streaming all their TV/Video content, but for my household, it didn’t work out well, there was about…

Well this reminder made me stop by a local electronics store to pick up a copy of the 90s trilogy, best $4 I’ve spent in a long time.
