Someone tried recruiting my sister and a couple of her Special Olympics teammates into the Marines in Rec Room. I got on my sister’s mic and told the dude to fuck off and to stop preying on obviously vulnerable people. He was so pushy with his recruitment, that he was making my sister uncomfortable. She asked him to stop and he didn’t. After telling the dude off, I advised my sister and her teammates to try a different game for a bit. It was disgusting to see this dude try to get people with intellectual disabilities to literally throw their lives away for a country that’s constantly fucking them over.
The OS differences probably help. I use Windows both at work and at home, so there’s no difference. And it seems like every time I fire up my PC, something is wrong with it. I avoided fixing a problem for 6 months because I couldn’t handle it emotionally after work lol. My hobbies are not tech-related other than gaming. I went into IT because the thing I have always been the least bad at is working with computers. I don’t have any other skills I thought would help me make money when I was exploring options at college
I have a ps5 for all of my media needs and PlayStation exclusives and all that. My gaming computer is also getting pretty old and doesn’t run stuff as well as it should. A Steamdeck is straight up an upgrade at this point. I’ll keep my PC around for older games I can’t play on other platforms, but I am pretty much fully embracing consoles lol. I also don’t have the funding to constantly upgrade a computer, and consoles seem to last a long time and have just the initial costs.
A lot of people I talk to think that PC is the best platform. I agree that it is versatile and has the most options. I can’t stand playing games on my PC at this point, though. I spend all day fixing computers at work. I don’t even want to look at a computer after clocking out. To be able to play games for PC, but not use a computer, I’ve decided to get a Steamdeck.
My thing is that I wanna wait until Larian comes out with all content for it. I don’t wanna get the game and immediately have to replay it because dlc came out. I’ve done that with games before and replaying just for dlc made the game feel like a chore. I’ve waited since the announce of cyberpunk’s expansion to even consider finishing the game. I plan on playing that one once I get myself a steamdeck later this year. My gaming computer became a total turd since 2020 lol.
The only game I’ve ever preordered is Animal Crossing New Horizons. I knew it wasn’t gonna be horseshit on release lmao. I wait until games are on sale and have been out for a while. My friends keep harassing me to buy Baldurs Gate and I’m not doing that until it has all dlc released and is on sale lol
I miss r/summonsign and whatever the one for elden ring was. From Soft co-op is the best part of their games.
