Well that's one way to making gaming as difficult as possible for yourself... No buttons on mobile, streaming lag, and then yucky Steam on top of it all.

I bought it way back when it was a co-op wave base building game but never tried the battle Royale when it got added

When I saw the reveal it looked kinda neat. Then it sorta gave me the impression of 'tower defense' which I hate. Now I've never played the SP mode so maybe that's what they were showing. Anyway because of that I skipped on buying the original disc version and after seeing the current prices I kinda wish I did. Oh well, you can't guess everything.

You have a better idea?

What the hell is Maxthon? Never heard of it.

If you collect the in game currency it pays for itself. The challenges are what I play for since it doesn't record stats other than your overall wins. Besides, since I don't build and see often see people building freaking hotels it's funny to watch them fall. It's a shooter not Minecraft.

No phone here so it would have to be on consoles. I'm not against them and will make the effort to not spend money. Free means free, even if there's grinding involved.

Never spent a new years away from home and that's not likely to change. It'll probably be like the rest of my weekend. Wet outside, PS4 and Mythbusters marathon inside.

Just finished SotN on PS4 so I'm thinking of trying Yooka Laylee. I can't believe how much is on my backlog right now.

Gas costs more if you use credit (I assume this isn't a local thing) so that negates your one bonus.

Not everywhere does that.

Lucky, they do here. I always carry some cash so it's not an issue for me.

I wouldn't. Cutting out whole food groups could upset your system in other ways. Eating in moderation is always the key. This way you can still enjoy your favorite meals. I mean you've been through enough misery, although if you just started then maybe it won't be a drastic change.

My dad's oncologist would disagree

But it depends on how much you want to improve your odds

There's probably stuff they'd say to never eat, like bacon. They're always changing their mind though. Years ago eggs were bad or something. There are nutrients in all foods that aren't easy to replace if you decide to go veggie. My old boss went on a crash diet and it messed him up a little. I know I won't give up dairy, love my milk and cheese. How could it even be bad?

Cheese is my main reason for not going. You boss going on a diet reminded me of something. I have a friend whos GF went on a vegan diet. Apparently, she was grumpy all the time. And didnt really feel good. So, she gave it up and went back to her regular eating habits and felt better afterwards.

Oh totally. I worked with someone who used crash diets before going on vacation. Those were the times of her worst attitudes.

I like it. A few eps lack action but I've seen worse.

Back when I was on PC it was always the arrow keys. Didn't like having so much else nearby to get confused with.

Play for free just to keep my skills up (will probably drift back to BF or Doom or whatever one of these days). Building is stupid so I don't bother with that part.

I'm glad this is doing better than CoD and appreciate money NOT going to Act. My question is how many stupid people are there to spend that kind of money on cosmetic crap?

Here's hoping we get a new UT someday. If there's one game that needs a remake it's UT99, not the later stuff.

You know how many free copies of Portal I turned down because I didn't want the Steam malware again? Sometimes 'free' comes with a catch that spoils the deal.

Temp files maybe?

I haven't played it. Despite liking platformers this seems like it requires more time than I have.

So it seems that the launcher is necessary, but you don't need an internet connection to play. This is limited testing such that I can't tell you if there's a time limit on that offline mode, and I can't tell you how it works for other games, but dems the facts for Subnautica.

Ok. It was a different article on some site, don't know how much testing they did.

Isn't that store online-only? Thought I read something about you needing a connection to play. In which case, I'll pass.

That damn thing came back again? Haven't played 11 yet. Hate it 'cause you only get like half the screen to work with.

I said earlier I didnt have any proof. The reason I posted was because a lot of people were acting like they were 100% sure that she was just dressing up like a female and that was all. The only info a I have is what she said. Since I dont have any proof, I cant say for sure. So, all we have is her word until most info comes out. Which it most likely wont. But Im also not trying to make baseless assumptions...

Um, the video is the base... Maybe there's more but it's a fair call for what we've seen.

I support the transgender person.

How do they qualify as trans? Just because they say so? This is where I disagree. While I'm fine with anyone who wishes to do so, like I said before there's a lot more to it. It's a long term process that requires an evaluation, medication, possible training, etc. Actually it's very similar to immigration where YOU need to integrate with society, not beg and bitch until everyone else caves to your demands. I mean you need to earn your rights, that's the only sensible way to do it.

But wheres you proof? You say that you need all that stuff, but how do you know shes not doing that. She could be taking medication already. Maybe she already had the evaluation. Youre talking like you know them personally and know they arent doing anything.

Goes both ways, where's the proof they are? Given the video the mannerisms say no. It's really hard to side with the customer if nobody knows they're credible. Geez, now we're up to 12 pages of speculation. For all we know this was staged to make GS look bad.

Tough one. It's true early 3D graphics would be hard to look at these days but the PS does have a greater variety.

That makes some of them dumb, but I was under the impression that football pissed off their audience and everyone left.

Lol. No wonder kids don't want to learn. They're too busy finding ways to skip through it quicker.

I'm going to keep calling a duck a duck unless I personally know it doesn't like being called a duck, at that point I'll gladly refer to it how it wants. But the "notduck" needs to understand that most strangers will see it as a duck, until learning of its "notduck" preference. The "notduck" should also be polite regarding the easy assumption that it is a duck considering how greatly it resembles a duck.

quite possibly the dumbest thing i will read all week, ok?

Doubtful. He'll definitely make some posts before the end of the week

Really?

I mean, the way he said it was kinda odd, but the message makes sense.

For example, if I met the transperson in the video, and I called them sir or he, they should say that's not their preferred gender pronoun. I will then refer to them as whatever they want me to.

the person in the video looks like a male to me, so I would refer to them as such unless corrected.

But she did. And then he kept calling her sir afterwards.

Why should that matter? You can see how they're presenting and you need more than clothing to 'be a woman'. If they dressed any other way then what would you say about the situation? It's just such a stupid thing. Kicking the display didn't help their case.

But are we sure thats all it was. She could still be transitioning. Im not going to pretend to know that all she did was dress up like a woman. Nobody can make that claim unless they know her or somehow have more information.

We can't know. But we live in the present and the evidence comes from the video. I don't expect anyone transitioning to act like that. Then also in the employee's favor I don't believe 'the customer is always right'. They will push their luck and abuse others. So regardless of their choices people like that need to GTFO.

Another mentally ill sjw who demands that society conforms to his wrong notion of perceived gender.

You're a man. You have a Y and X chromosome. No amount of social justice and crying about it will change it. I don't care if you perceive yourself otherwise. Your delusions is not my problem.

Ya know, I don't even care what genes they have. If you desire to and can blend in or pass then that's fantastic. If you're not even trying, or sending the wrong signals, then I can't blame society for calling it as they see it.

As a dude with long hair, I have gotten called ma'am more than once (usually when i'm approached from behind) and never got offended by it

Im not sure why people need to get so offended by everything

Because she corrected him multiple times and he kept bullying her for no other reason than he's a fucking transphobic bigot.

You're full of shit. I'm all for anyone wearing anything they like but there wasn't one bit of 'ma'am' there besides some clothing. Mannerisms are just as important.

What, so every woman has to act a certain way for you to perceive them as a woman? No, of course not, but transgendered women do, because they're put on a different scale and they have to be the perfect woman before transphobic bigots can even consider the possibility of calling them by their correct gender.

Act the part if you want to be the part. Being a thug like that then no, you don't deserve special treatment. This is why you're wrong. It's crystal clear this wasn't a trans person who wanted to blend into society. This was a fool dressed in pink shoes who wanted to start a fight.

Consoles do work every time you ask them to. It's a different situation than 'beginner mode' on PC's. Steam trying to make it easier for you essentially takes over the library before dropping its payload.

We've been through this before. Steam users will never know they are wrong. Like Hillary supporters. Simple, stubborn, ignorant.

Oh the irony.

Nope, no irony. Steam is a starter package like kids with a cell phone. It has to hold your hand through all the steps. Quite a poor way to play. Once the kids graduate past hand me down phones and PC's then they get a console to play for real.

Not to turn this into something it isn't, the XB has next to no content this gen compared to Sony and Nin. However, because of certain software I don't consider PC a viable alternative so a mere handful of exclusives may exist.

You better be playing in VR. So much better.

Who buys Halloween candy in the summer? Stores are always too far ahead.

My car gets hot in the summer so yeah. However it's mostly back roads from work so I don't think many people care what I'm playing.

I play a lot of unusual games and it's pretty hard to NOT find some info. You might not get a walkthrough but at least tips. Of course if it's a new game then you're hosed. Anything I play has been out a while.

It's not a Sony problem. Things break or wear out. Good that you were able to fix it, some won't even open a device.

I get that things wear out but the PSP really seems like it was just poorly designed to be unreliable. My old Nintendo handhelds going back to Gameboy color never had problems like this. Sony could have at least designed the buttons more like the Playstation dualshock controllers. Just wtf at PSPs cheap material used for the buttons X__X

I used mine a good amount and didn't have any problems. The rubber pads in controllers do tend to last a long time but I've worn out a couple that got mushy like my Aimon. Not handhelds.

Clip on.

I've waited a while before, maybe not an hour. Last time I was the only one there and done in like 10 minutes. Took the Vita to pass the time, hardly got into the game before it was ready.

The kids don't look that young. They should behave themselves without resorting to FN dances.
