Now that I think about it, time travel isn't something that comes up very often as a theme in games, but it can have a real impact when it's done well. Zelda OOT and the first Life is Strange come to mind, and they were both fantastic. The both also handled the time travel concept in a very different way.

I am self-centered, in the sense of literally being focused on myself and my life experiences most of the time. If someone tells me a story, the first thing I do is think if I have any relevant experience through which I can understand it. This isn't the same as being selfish though. I just am the literal center of my own universe. It doesn't mean I think I'm the center of anyone else's.

What are the worst business decisions you've ever seen? Blockbuster passing on Netflix has to be up there.

Source - https://www.pcgamesn.com/red-dead-redemption-2/funeral-updates-online All because it's been almost a year since any new updates have dropped for RDR2 online. We've received small things here and there, but for the most part, we haven't seen any big updates like what GTA Online gets often these days. Fans are fed up that Rockstar has pretty much dropped the ball on RDR2 online. I feel the same way though, because RDR2 online hasn't had much support aside from patches and such. All RS cares about is GTA Online these days. What do you guys think? Does RS care for RDR2 online?

Agreed. I think it's perfectly justifiable if there is a history of infidelity and/or the new born child does not feature physical traits that resemble the father.

Happy Saturday! How is everyone?

Kodad, Nokia, Xerox, and BlackBerry are all examples of wildly successful and profitable companies that failed to innovate over time.

I also found out that gaming at night helps me fall asleep easier. I think it kinda tires me out and that's why. I feel like I can fall asleep in about 20-30 minutes, sometimes less. I think gaming or being on my PC all night helps me sleep like a baby.

I don't have that info, and it's probably against the rules to share download links. I think the game was called sonic PC collection. I was in a standard jewel case. It had sonic and sonic and knuckles and maybe another game. You might be able to find the soundtracks on YouTube as well.

Naughty Dog didn't make Stray. It was developed by BlueTwelve Studio and published by Annapurna Interactive. Honestly would be pretty cool. Especially if they can make it in first person as well.

Yeah he goes into detail about how Rockstar and their outdated development is hurting things. I especially liked when he talked about how in games he likes to experiment with different ways of completing a mission, but was unable to as it pretty much makes you do it in a certain way. There are some things you can do differently. Like when Micah is in the jail and you have to break him out. Instead of blowing the wall up, you can instead go into the police station and get him that way. I want to see more like that, where you can do multiple things to get the job done.

Being on disability, every day is the same for me. I don't have a start or end to my week.

If there was a history of infidelity, then it's not insulting at all. If there is no history of infidelity, then it's not only insulting, but demeaning as well.

This Assassin’s Creed: Revelations trailer is a really good one.

Losing subscribers isn't a good thing for a company like Netflix that relies mainly on it for profit and that's why they were talking about bringing back ads to Netflix. Let's Just wait and see what their next move would be.

These days? Sleep. I work a lot, and then there's the kid. So, sleep is what I like to do for fun. But, when I actually have some free time, I draw. I build things. The last 5 or so years, I've been building dice jails of various sizes for use in TTRPG groups. But I've done larger work, like built simple furniture and done modifications to bought furniture to make it fit a space better. I like working with my hands. I like hiking and biking too. I learned some Karate in HS, and sometimes I work that into my exercise routine. I haven't had time to lately, but I'd love to get that back in my workout again because it feels good. I'm still living in the same state I was born, though I've visited other states. I'm originally from the Bronx, NY. I've lived in the Bronx, Queens, Manhattan, and in Westchester County. A lot of people go to Manhattan and never venture outside it. But, I'd recommend exploring the boroughs if you do come here. Especially if you like your food. There's a lot of good food if you're willing to venture out a little farther. I'm bummed that some of my favorite places closed during the pandemic, but I'm sure I'll find some new delicious eats.

There's only one game I play that was redone, and that's FF8. I play it on my Switch, and the new graphics are amazing. The detail and slickness is simply phenomenal. But that said, I wouldn't pay for a new version of RDR2, just because they include a feature that lets you return to New Austin without having to worry about bounty hunters and Pinkertons. It makes no sense. Now if they were to release a DLC code that got you tons more free stuff, and extra stranger missions, I would go in for that. All in all though, there has to be one hell of a perk to get me to rebuy the same game I've been playing for years. Unless my disc gets trashed and no longer works, I'm staying where I'm at. Also, considering that with only a small handful of exceptions, being a classic gamer pretty much means that I won't have to worry about it. I don't see SMB2 being remade any time in the future.

The discount (or freebie) would be nice for previous owners (which can be proven more easily with digital ownership than physical), and it's not like the companies doing these things can't afford to do it. I've no strong opinions on the subject really: it's only business. The good thing about these sorts of scheme is that if I want to play the original there's next to nothing stopping me, and the original must've been good enough for it to get a re-release in some fashion. If it was a bad game it wouldn't stand a snowflake's chance in Hell at being remastered. Even all the harumphing about The Elder Scrolls games is nothing compared to the sales figures before mods entered the equation. My point is that I can get the original used or heavily discounted elsewhere; Sony will make more from a single - and more expensive - copy of the remaster than they'll lose from a used copy.
