The angriest person I ever saw playing video games was my brother playing Madden when he was younger. Model straight A student, calm person in everything else, very unlikely to ever get in a fight, went on to have a good career, be a good father, never been arrested or even gets traffic tickets… Yet if video game competitiveness while a teenager was an actual tie to judging if a person was violent in their real life… I think banning all sports games/possibly all competitive sports should be higher up their list.

When’s the next time you will see someone physically hit someone in a manner outside the rules/laws. Every given Sunday in the NFL. Saturday in the NCAA… probably won’t even make it that far, is there an NBA, MLB, NHL, or other such physic sports game on today? Competitive wrestlers are known to shove a finger up someone else’s ass if they think a referee can’t see it for a competitive advantage. Football intentionally kneeing people in the ribs or trying to poke people in the eyes when they are in the piles. Most of the fights we see break out stem from cheap shots and rule breaking happening when a referee can’t see, not just shit talking.

If these are the things players are taught and do, why would it be okay to teach kids to play these sports as little kids… Probably because they know their kids aren’t randomly forcing their finger up someones ass or kneeing someone in the head when they go into the office. Different mindsets


Palia. It’s free on Xbox and PlayStation. Has in game purchases but I’ve never bought one. My fiancee started playing it recently and ask me to play. You can grow a farm, it’s 3D, get a glider, run around and do missions. (MMO) Play with others and get bonuses in XP. I’m only about 3 hrs gameplay so far. It’s cross platform because she plays Xbox, so if that helps… idk

Edit: also fishing, chopping wood, story lines idk. It’s worth checking out if you have time/access.

Edit 2: my fiance wanted me to say they have a Halloween event going on right now, and they have gatherings/events to encourage people to meet each other and team up and help each other grow


I’ve punched multiple people, but I know I punched people before I ever had a game console or computer.


I agree, but being that you can buy a 256gb SSD from Walmart for $17.99, I’d like to see a new complete game purchase at $67.99 that you just plug the SSD into the top of the console and press a button to turn it on. SSD loads and has the entire contents of a completed game without need for internet access. If it doesn’t work, they didn’t ship a complete game and should be liable for refunding/replacing the product you bought from them.

Sure they are sata drives, but you really shouldn’t need something faster to play a game, as everything can go to the consoles RAM/GPU’s memory and then store back to the drives, meaning they could cut internal storage if needed as well. Stick the drives in cases, put on your games rack. Id like it. Maybe I’m not the main demographic though.

No longer play a game, sell it… Or format the drive and recycle it for another use.


Just put the disc in and shut the lid. I don’t know what these downloads people are talking about are


Oh cool, I wasnt sure about how much space and stuff it’ll take, I’ll book mark this and check this weekend maybe. Thanks for the info .

Id be running on integrated graphics, so games that don’t require much are always nice haha




Copyparty has been great for me for the less than a week or so I’ve used it. I copied a 44.8gb virtual machine there to get it to another machine earlier tonight just because I wanted to test a larger file. Came down on the other machine and worked fine. (Clearly this would have been easier to do by just making one folder shared on the receiving device or using a flash drive, but I was curious.


This last season came out swinging with their wardrobe budget. The first 2 episodes I think we just kept talking about how much we liked outfits


There was an old HP touchsmart that my partner had laying around. It’s terrible. Pentium Processor, standard HDD, with no dedicated graphics so running much of anything on it is out. No wireless AC, so it has to be a 2.4ghz network, and I don’t have a hardwire in the bedroom. So I just threw Mint on it installed RustDesk because I didn’t have a wireless mouse and keyboard or anywhere to put them if I had them. About a week into realizing it had some troubles playing larger movies (even mp4s from the machine no matter the player) I moved to 720. I couldn’t tell the difference between 720p and 1080p from across the room on a 22" screen anyways. Now all the streams work fine. Starting to realize the last time I bought a monitor was 2009. Anyways, 4K on my TV in the living looks great, but it really isn’t needed for standard enjoyment. Especially if I’m only half ass paying attention.


Released for $4.60. below average game cost they said. This makes me wonder… What do games cost on release most places?

I seem to remember $40 PS2/Dreamcast era $50 PS3/360 era, $60 PS4/5/Xbox S/S era. And now people are saying $80 for next gen. Sorry I know I dropped a lot of consoles, but was that pretty standard everywhere?


I seem to remember liking Resistance: Fall of Man, but it isn’t something you’ll play over and over. But the couch co-op story mode was fun to play with my partner back in 2007 or so.

A Way Out was fun recently for couch co-op story as well, but I’m not sure if that is the type of shooter you are looking for. I had never played a game like it before, was pretty cool.


So are you going to make a bad faith argument that Microsoft, Google, Apple, Sony, Nintendo, Steam or who is a good company to buy platforms or games from? Note, most games brought to Linux happen because much of it was funded from sales off those platforms as well. So in todays world if you want Linux games, you have to hope people keep buying them on those major platforms.

Or are you just going to take the low road of describing yourself as better than everyone else because you only play niche unprofitable games that most people will never hear of and therefor most of society who doesnt have large amounts of time to invest in games likely won’t ever see.


You care nothing of freedoms do you? I don’t use either of these apps but I still think it is outrageous to strip people’s ability to choose their actions because politicians are worried they can’t control enough of the media.

“Find a new game” is just “fall in line”


Did anyone else feel slighted that the article writer decided 1.59 was to high of a price to pay to have a first hand experience on the product?


What game was it? My first guess was Ark, but I have not played many games.
