Can’t believe it’s been a year already!

Got anything big planned for the anniversary?

That’s dirty. If the company is deciding that you can’t stay around long enough to vest those stocks, they should pay them out. There should never be a reward for dumping people.

But then I’d have to buy a gaming PC.

I don’t have a game right now. I spent the weekend searching Gamepass and testing out some games I wouldn’t have bought blindly, trying to find my next obsession.

None have grabbed me yet. DOOM Middle Ages was starting to get fun but it kept crashing on me. Sorry developer’s, if your game doesn’t get my attention in the first ten minutes, you never deserved my money, but if I find the game on Gamepass and enjoy it, I tend to let others know.

Right? I feel bad that it’s beautiful outside and we’re all inside playing games and streaming TV, but every time we leave the house as a family, it ends up costing me at least $100.

Or, what if their healthcare continued to be free so they wouldn’t have an incentive to find a way to live on $700 month?

I know one of those young men playing video games, and he REALLY wants a job, but no matter how he works the math, the medication that keeps him alive costs more than what he’d make. So, his only choice is to budget around permanent poverty or die.

Honestly, you should get the OG Switch.

It does everything you’re looking for in the Switch 2, but without most of the downsides.

If you haven’t had one already, you have a lot of great games to catch up on, which you could buy with the money you’d save by not buying a Switch 2.

If you haven’t already tried Oblivion Remastered, that’s a no brainier.

Avowed was pretty straight forward with a decent story. It’s more linear than Skyrim, and sometimes I had to reload a save because I walked into a situation I wasn’t ready for, but all in all, I made quick consistent progress.

I played both on Gamepass.

Also, there’s no shame in turning that difficulty bar down when it’s available. I’m in the same boat as you. I don’t want to master the game, I just want to enjoy it.

I think a lot of the hate is coming from people who don’t understand Roblox. It’s just this weird new thing that kids are playing. They said the same kind of things about my Mortal Kombat, D&D, and Magic:tG.

I certainly have my complaints on Roblox, mainly the concept of Robucks and how the community members design games to milk children for their birthday money.

I agree completely.

Did Roblox do anything “unreasonably unsafe?”

If they were selling a monthly PedoPass that gave someone access to the names and addresses of underage members, of course we should shut that shit down, but nearly every other online game has chat options. What makes Roblox less safe than those?

I’m not so sure about this, and I’m not paying to read the rest of the article.

I’m not saying that there aren’t predators on Roblox, but is it Roblox’s responsibility to teach kids not to talk to strangers?

The part I could read mentioned that they took the conversation to another platform before meeting. Is anyone suing THAT platform? If that’s where they made the plans to meet, wouldn’t they be more responsible?

I have no love for Roblox, but I don’t think they caused this, unless there are other wild details I missed.

This is fraud, right?

“Development is under control, we just need €100,000.”

After collecting €300,000: Whoopsies! No refunds.

I remember trying to convince my mom that $200 for an SNES is significantly less expensive in the long run than quarters at the arcade. 😂

Just the other day my brother came over and we played OG Bubble Bobble. Two guys over 40 sinking a few hours into an adorable little co-op game. We got to the final boss and called it a night.

I picked it back up the next day, eventually beat that boss and texted my brother to let him know we beat the game.

If I recall, Dark Cloud surprised me. I think I got it on a whim for cheap and ended up sinking quite a bit of time into it.

I was able to get the first free days in tonight.

Is it normal to just run out of doors long before you run out of footsteps, or am I just really bad at layout design?

Already solved a few early puzzles and I’m hitting down what I hope are clues as I find them.

Good news, Ferb! I know what we’re going to do this weekend! I don’t know much of anything about this one, which is usually best, but I’ve heard the name mentioned many times, and your “review” just convinced me to give it a shot.

I don’t get much time to play, but being able to try out gems I otherwise wouldn’t have spent money on really makes Gamepass worth while for me.

I find this post interesting. Are you asking because you’re curious about statistical information like “you played this game 28 hours more than that game” or just so you remember if you liked a game or not?

I understand the first one, but I can’t even comprehend the second. As soon as I see a screenshot from a game, my brain goes back to playing it and the general emotions it triggers. I might not remember the details about the game, but I’ll remember if it was fun, frustrating, boring etc. So I think it’s really strange that someone could completely forget playing a game.

I don’t mean any offense or anything. I know I’m some kind of neurodivergent, and I find the differences in how we each think very interesting.

I don’t see Goldeneye on your list.

Obviously this is hyperbole, because water is the worst thing in video games, but I do agree that parrying really is a pain in the ass.

Wait. You can do that??? Oh no.

Obviously, you go home.

Whenever someone asks if a game should be remade, I always say no. I’d rather get a new game!

That being said, I spent the entire weekend playing Oblivion.

Right, but I would consider that being able to afford one.

Wait. Are you younger than 9?

4.5x3=13.5

I’m not a big Nintendo fan, because of their pricing and lawsuits, but I’m siding with them on this one.

If you can’t afford a Switch 2, don’t buy one.

This is coming from someone who really couldn’t afford one right now. We wait until we can or the price goes down (oh wait. Nintendo doesn’t do that )

Is that REAL money? As in, hundreds of REAL dollars for a spaceship skin?

Abso-fucking-lutley not worth it.

I played the story in GTA a few times.

I have that card.

Are people still playing with Fallen Empires? That was almost 3 decades ago!

Also, what are the odds this is an April Fools joke?

I know this isn’t what you’re looking for, but you reminded me of Beamrider. We played the shit out of that one back in the day!

That’s usually how these things play out.

Same thing happened to me when I tried watching Thundercats again. Oh boy.

Could it be Aztec?

I think you’ve found it. Give us some clues!

How long ago? What platform? Genre?

I’m very disappointed that they didn’t call it DigiCon.

Yeah, I had no map.

Sigma before the kids started saying it. 😂

Yes! This is my standard for a good platformer.

I think being the “free” game that comes with the system hurt it’s reputation. We all got bored of it, but going back to it after playing some terrible platformers really shows you how great it really is.

I respect it, but I wasn’t prepared to take notes, so I didn’t get real far.

I see Skyrim mentioned, which is an obvious choice, but how about Oblivion? Many people forget about Skyrim’s older brother!

And honestly, I think I liked Oblivion better.
