It didn’t work before? I’ve been using it for years to find my devices and I’ve never had an issue.


Recommend some anyway. I can’t enjoy most single player games without mods (or at least a trainer).


Same. Mostly because I don’t want the experience to ever end (and because it’s been so long that I forgot where I was and what I was doing if I don’t start over). Apparently it’s an ADHD thing.


I’ll play one game at a time, binge the hell out of it, then stop right before I beat it (if it’s a single player title) and then never touch it again for at least 5 years.



How? Did you dig an old PC out of storage?

I can’t get New Vegas to run on a modern PC without it constantly crashing, even when with the fan patches and mods that supposedly allow it to work on newer PCs. Please share your secrets.



My phone just displays a little “6” where the plus sign is when I’m connected to WiFi 6.


How did this person find the time and dedication to complete so many god damn games in just a year? They beat more games this year than I have in my entire life! I get bored or run out of time before I get anywhere near finishing a game.


Where do you find the time to not only play, but beat so many games? No job and no SO?

In my 36 years here on earth, I’ve completed maybe 3-4 games total. In my entire life. I almost always get bored or don’t have the time to finish the ones I start. I prefer online games anyway because single player bots tend to be stupid and predictable.


I misread your comment and thought you said “RFK”. I have no idea what an “RFC” is. Some sort of teletype thing?




If updating drivers is the only thing you use GFE the nVidia app for, then why not use Nvcleanstall instead?


GFE’s only useful purpose is for ShadowPlay. Use Nvcleanstall instead to update your drivers. That way you can remove unnecessary features and stop the privacy-invading telemetry.



Now that is really stupid, especially given how easy it is to just fire up the movie on your PC and take a screenshot from there.


Any game that I have to treat as a second job, is not a game that I want to play.

Plus it’s yet another open world title, which means a lot of running around, looking for something to do. Hard pass.


True; I made it about 3/4ths of the way into Outer Worlds before I got bored.

Meanwhile I barely got the main story started before I decided I was done with Starfield. I never thought I’d say this, but that game has too much dialog, and none of it is even the least bit interesting. I have no idea why Bethesda keeps Emil Pagliarulo around. He should have been fired 20 years ago, but instead they keep giving him the job of lead writer.


Meanwhile I just plug my PC into my TV and compute from the couch. Keyboard in lap, mouse on endtable or armrest. It’s ridiculously comfy.



Yeah seriously, physical media has been dead for awhile now. Last time I bought a physical game was 2008 (The Orange Box).

I understand why people are upset, but it’s time to move on. If the server that is hosting the zero day patches shuts down, then your physical copy is as useful as a brick anyway.



Let me know when they’re 75% off. I have have a hard limit of $60 when it comes to spending money on games. It used to be $50 but those days are gone.


A lot of times I just want to make a quick change for later without actually having to fire up the game. Even if I’m not interested in playing it anytime soon.

Weird, I know, but I have ADHD so if I don’t do something the moment an idea pops into my head, within seconds I forget and the thought is lost forever. It’s so bad that I’ll often finish a sentence without having any idea how or why I started it.


Yeah seriously, Steam was universally hated at the time. Anyone else remember this gif?

(Sorry for the imgur link BTW, but Voyager uses the default Android upload dialog and it’s AWFUL. Half the time the picture I want to upload isn’t there, even if I directly navigate to the folder it’s in.)





Fallout: London is pretty decent. It may be a mod, but it plays like a proper Fallout title. Enjoy that in the meantime. It won’t completely fill the void but it’s better than nothing.


What annoys you about the ladders? To this day, I find them among the easiest video game ladders to use. No stupid button prompts; just hold W. To go down one, just face it backwards and press S. Simple, genius design.


I pirated it a few years back, played for an hour, got bored and uninstalled.

If it’s not a yearly release, then why label it as such? Just call it Farming Sim 9.


I don’t even understand why a game like this needs a yearly release. Farming doesn’t evolve that quickly. I mean, the devs of the Trucking Sim games don’t need to release a new game every year, because trucking doesn’t evolve they quickly, either. So what’s their excuse, other than pure greed?


To be fair, OP, the article writer, and even the developers themselves somehow forgot to add the apostrophe to '25. For what it’s worth, using apostrophes when shortening a year to two digits seems to have fallen out of use in the past couple of decades, leading to this confusion. I have no idea why.


CoD mobile is good… when played in an Android emulator on PC. It’s basically CoD: Greatest Hits, and it’s way better than Black Ops 6 (or any console/PC CoD, for that matter). All the best maps from the old games are there. Takes me back to the days of MW1 & 2 on the XBOX 360.

The only issues is that it takes some tweaking and the right emulator (Gameloop) to get a steady 120+ FPS, and it can take dozens of matches before game starts pairing you with other mouse and keyboard players (instead of just bots or controller/touchscreen users), but once you’ve established your rank, it becomes ton of fun cause you’re not just destroying everyone you match against. It becomes a legit challenge.


The PS5 is also running on midrange hardware from 2019. 40 FPS is to be expected when playing a brand new game on 5-year-old parts.


Which is exactly why I stopped playing after Gen 2, which was the peak of the series IMO. If you want to see everything the series has to offer, just play Gold/Silver (or their remakes on the DS). No reason to waste time and money on any other Pokémon game.



Depends on whether the batteries were hooked up in either series or parallel. Later GameBoys only needed 2 batteries but required the same voltage, so I’m guessing that the OG GB is wired in series-parallel.

So in other words, you need at least two batteries to be good for this to work in the OG GB. Later editions need both batteries to hold a charge to reach 3V.


Best out of these for couples? She doesn’t play shooters nor most first-person titles. I don’t like turn-based games.
