I want to get my dad to play video games. He played Gran Turismo on a demo disc on the PS1 back in the day, but that was really about it. He helped me play Gyromite a couple times, but that was about it. I want to get him a racing wheel setup and see if he'd enjoy racing games that way.

I was thinking about buying a Roccat gaming mouse last night, but didn't bite. It was on sale for like $44, from $90 or so, but I reading through the reviews and they complained a lot about the mouse wheel breaking easily, or double clicking, scrolling. So I passed on it.

Try playing it online. I don't think they give you nearly any space for storage. Then again, they make RDR2 online a chore to play through sadly. 😞

Sadly CDs are going to degrade over time, it's called disc rot. What happens is the metal or plastic in the disc stars to degrade, and eventually the data on the disc becomes unreadable. CDs sadly aren't meant to last a long time, same with DVDs, blu-rays and other disc based media. At least ones like the CD.

Just started Two point hospital, game is quite addicting and fun. I'm having a lot of fun with it so far. But can only imagine how tough it's going to get when you have to build multiple stages of your hospitals.

I would say Take-Two is, but Rockstar is a bit off from that. Albeit, they aren't perfect by any means, I'd still trust Rockstar over the lot of these companies. Then again, Rockstar is already close to being part of that crew, simply because they are owned by Take-Two, which has become a very greedy company. If anything, I think they've ruined a lot that is to do with Rockstar and their games. I'd argue they ruined a lot with 2K games as well.

Yeah true, having an option to get digital is important. Every game that releases these days comes out digitally anyway. Sadly, I think it's going to result in physical games coming out less and less. Hell, even Switch games are coming out where there's just a code in the case and no cart. Not a fan of that. Just having a case with a code that you literally can't do nothing with.

Most of the people I met on Xbox live were from other states and even countries. One of the guys we met online, actually talked about visiting for my bros graduation party, but he never showed up. Was pretty disappointed, but also not, because I was paranoid how he'd act towards us. But yeah, one of these days, I'm going to contact some of them and ask if they remember how we met, and on what games.

Yeah, he's an awful person. Was awful to women as well and has been accused of a lot of other bad behaviour towards women. The fact that any woman wanted to even touch the dude is beyond me. I've actually been trying to find his energy drinks again, because I just want to collect the a couple cans. I had saved the ones I bought years ago, but they got damaged and I tossed them. I actually found the site that sold them, and it was still up offering to sell. But I wasn't taking a chance to buy from the site, so I emailed about buying a couple, but never received a response lol.

Exactly. No matter what generation of gaming you get in at, there will always be toxic people. They are everywhere and will continue to find ways to torment people. But that's why we have methods to block those people, to not hear a peep out of them. I don't bother with public lobbies, if I do, I go on a mute parade and mute everyone. Or I stick to a private party so I can't hear the public chat at all. It's really easy to steer clear of the douche bags online. There's lots of them out there, but there are more than enough methods at combating them. I just find it lazy and sad that they want to ban everyone because of words. I get banning for hacking and cheating. And I would be fine if people who are known for sending harmful things, or do harmful things, to be banned too. But I think for just being a douche on the internet, there are ways to block that easily already.

I get a sigh of relief when games get delayed. I know most hate it, and I understand that it sucks to see games you want get delayed. But when I see it happen, I feel it's just their choice to go in and fix problems they found, or making the game as optimized as possible. Now, if it's delayed multiple times, and so on, then maybe a release date further out is better. Exactly. Cyberpunk 2077 could have afforded another delay or two even. People had been waiting for years for this game to come out, and when it comes out rushed in the way it did, if it had more time to be made into something more concrete, then we may have had a whole different story on hand about how good the game was and how it achieved what fans were wanting. But in the end, we got a mediocre FPS that was kinda fun to play for a while.

I could have sworn it allowed you to do that, but I may be wrong. Either way, it's a fun game, a bit dated in terms of controls, but I think they just released an HD remake, or are releasing an HD remake soon, so I might revisit that.

And I don't think he will ever resign from the company. He's making too much cash right now and I don't think they can outright fire him either. Which I don't get. Maybe he's more in control of things than we thought. It's sickening that he's still in power.

Some do sure, but not all of them. I was stuck in many games in the past because of auto saves or other problems. This is partly why I hope most games have a manual save option, so that I can at least have options to go back a few missions and such.

Yup, if you check out Twitch while on prime, you might be able to get additional games, since Amazon also owns Twitch. When I had Amazon prime, I connected it via my Twitch account and it gives you subs to use on streamers, and a bunch of free games and other things. Though I imagine this is connected anyway and you can get these games either through Amazon or Twitch itself.

I feel like it's mostly for games that have been around a while. I think they do it because activity is dwindling, so they release it free to play. This will entice people to play again and will probably bring in new gamers who didn't want to pay the base price to get into it.

I hear the first couple Uncharted games are a bit dated in terms of controls. The newer games are more polished. But I suppose you could get the remastered collection that has updated visuals and controls. I think that's the route I'll take when I can get a PS4 or PS5.

yeah that mission. I think it marks it as important in your menu, haven't played in a year or two so I forget a bit. I imagine they're quite smart, at least before humans get their hands on them. That's the game for ya lol. I think they took a lot of liberties with how it works to ride a horse. I imagine most horses are aware enough to not flip over or trip over the dumbest things.

Damn, I didn't even consider Spec ops the line. One of my favorite games too because of its story. Also, heavy spoilers if you watch this video. But yeah, this game makes you feel bad.

I ended up getting it on black friday, but was still peeved about the ending. I loved the beginning and some parts of the story, and the gameplay change they did was great, but the ending took that feeling away for me. I'm sure it was a rush, because it felt like the ending was heavily rushed.

I get that. But there are other options for peripherals that work just as good. Honestly, keyboard and mouse probably gives you the best control. A controller is nice, but you're going to get the best out of a mouse and keyboard combo, because of precision.

No apologies will be enough. We expect quality from a studio like Rockstar, and when they ship a mess off to the people, it shows they don't care about the stuff they put out, as long as they get enough sales. They'll fix the problems for the remastered version, but it's too late. They failed to deliver something worthy at release and now they're having to deal with the consequences. Which makes me think, if they plan to remaster GTA IV, they will have to make it similar to what they did with GTA V, just updated visuals and maybe some updated controls as well.

A friend of mine suggested in try LARPING, but I couldn't ever see myself doing it. I have no personality for it, and I get uncomfortable quick if I have to try to act or do something like that.

Well as of 2022, none lol. I haven't played a lot in the new year. But I am starting Two point hospital here in a bit, so there's that.

I checked the list out, and there's some good options there. I already saw some of them, but one I liked was Indie Game: The Movie. I recommend it. I think it's the one with Phil Fish, who made Fez I believe. I think he turned out to be a douche after the release. The movie kinda shows it if I remember correctly.
