i have played so many games i woild have never tried and i live having the xbox studio games on release. i am a patient gamer so i always waited for a game to drop below $40. its nice having access to so many.

Subscription gaming has its problems but I’m with you on this.

That’s so hard for me to fathom. For me it’s Xbox controllers all the way. Funny how different individual preference can be. Really, I’m just glad we both have options that fit our needs.

You make some very good points. I loved RDR2, but felt like two-thirds of the way through the game it became main story and nothing else. I thought the side quest content was really good, but there needed to be a lot more of it. The “random” events were awesome, but when they were eventually all completed, it made the world feel somewhat empty in comparison. That said, it’s still one of my favorite games. I’m on a playthrough right now where I mostly just mess around in the world. I like how slow-paced it is. You can just do whatever. Eat, drink, fish, sleep, fight, hunt, cook, ride, shoot… There’s no end to the number of personal side quests you can make up.

It’s such fun game. I will never see what happens past midgame.

At first I was like…

Open door to free moth. Two moth enter.

Came here to say this. Anyone that’s played Witcher 3 should have already known that Ciri was going to be the protagonist in the next game. I can’t wait. Ciri is badass.

It just looks dirty like that.

Wait. You mean every major tech company going all-in on “AI” was a bad idea. I, for one, am shocked at this revelation.

I like you. Keep spreading the message.

More relevant than ever.

Unrelated, but just the other day I was thinking about an extremely offensive NIN t-shirt I had in the 90’s. I wish I still had that shirt.

And if you don’t review your new documents very often, the auto-tagging and filtering options make it easy to just go through your inbox when you get a chance, knowing you didn’t miss something.

I’ve long said (and this is a hill that I’m willing to die on) that everyone is smart in some way. We’re all just smart about different things and in different ways.

One of the first things I add to any PC. I just bought a copy for someone a few days ago.

And the once or twice a year Epic offers a free game I actually want to play, I enjoy it just as much as if I’d bought it elsewhere.

Felt like more at the time, for all three. Guess I didn’t used to game as much as I do now. I’ve owned X4 for two weeks and I’m at 107 hours, so it’s on pace to smash those numbers.

I enjoyed “It Takes Two” quite a bit. “A Way Out” is another co-op game from the same publisher that I’ve only heard good things about.

It was a really fun game. It took months to finish it, in small chunks, trying to fit in time here and there with my kid. I’m glad we finished though.

I may be stupid, but I want to learn.

Wanting to learn is the least stupid thing there is.

Not anymore.
