As someone who worked at Media Play: You don't want them back. They were expensive. New releases DVD were always the expensive price when you could go to any other store like that and get them for cheaper.

I remember when San Andreas came out and they were trying a "turn in 5 old games and get a new release for free." There wasn't any direction given to us about only accepting "good" games so people would come in and trade 5 copies of an old sports game you could get for 5 bucks and walk out with a new release like San Andreas.

I never got the love for mechanical keyboards. Maybe it's because that was all there was for the longest time so I used them for several years when I was younger. The noise would also be loud enough to keep up my parents in the next room so I always wanted something quiet.

I'm not knocking them for people who like them or anything though.

Wait, Tony "I'm not going to be on TV or involved in storylines" Khan?

I'm giving him crap but it's mostly in jest. I stopped watching wrestling a bit ago but have been thinking of getting back into AEW. It's been a while. The Inner Circle was still a thing when I watched it last.

It's funny how seeker and the Wheel don't have official names for the worlds.

I think unofficially people call the WoT world "Randland" (I marked it as spoilers because it reveals who the Dragon Reborn Is)

I just wanna hear the theme track with some kind of small remix that sounds great.

I remember one specific moment we got the buildup but not the peak. When it hits it's going to be awesome, but I want it now.

I would probably guess that's more knowing their audience. I don't go to church and I know after church breakfast/lunch is a thing. They play more church shit on the TVs and it draws in that crowd.

The last three years I have gotten donuts for the office for this holiday. Last year I put a pic of Snoop. I think the year before too. This year I went with James Franco and Seth Rogen. I picked them up today since the office is closed tomorrow. Next year I'll do them on Monday since the day is on a Sunday.

Cerebral Bore - Turok Series

AOL Chat Rooms, I was 12 so it would have been like 1997? I remember because it was a teenager chatroom and I wasn't quite a teenager and felt like I didn't belong there.

I can get hyped for SteamWorld Heist 2.

Yeah I'm going to have to replay. I last played when Nuclear Winter came out and there was a couple NPCs but nothing major. I've read a few places that the patch after that one is specifically where it started getting good.

The dude who designed Gritty does some other artwork. This was one he did of Mario. I have a framed copy of this but the one pictured isn't mine.

To me, this is a weird usage of the word "anymore" but I've been seeing it used like this ever since a user pointed it out a few years ago. Are you from the Northeast area? Like Philly or so? I feel like it's used more in the Northeast part of America.

About an hour outside of it. Closer to Harrisburg, but yes, PA. I noticed I do that a lot, I even deleted one from an email I was typing today. Is there a term for it?

ETA: It might be called a "positive anymore" but I might not have used it correctly.

I hate that I have to use the subscription model of Adobe. I work in the office side of construction and my job heavily involves reading blueprints. They all come in PDFs anymore and some of them can get LARGE. I was just messing with one that was 400 MB and I know I've had some that are larger.

Using the free version it is just super slow and crashes a lot going between pages. Like it will take 5-10 seconds for a single page to load sometimes, and this is NOT an issue with my PC. The pay version works way better.

I've been thinking about doing something with 3 but I'm going to heavily mod it if I do, mostly graphics stuff and to get rid of the green glow.

I get cluster headaches. When it's hot and humid out and I'm starting to overheat it will set one off if I am in a cycle. It's why I started hiring people to cut my grass.

When I'm not in a cycle I don't really care as long as at isn't super humid.

I do genuinely wonder if he's written to be autistic.

I think it's from being sheltered while in the BoS. The small part where he talks about how it gets hard and pops out white stuff like a pimple is a lack of education/miseducation, not someone having a disability. That's how I see it anyways.

I mean isn't it that he knew exactly what he wanted, which was to be in the BoS/wear the power armor but became disillusioned with the bullshit and the failing upwards and meeting Lucy that now he's not sure what he wants.

If there was a happy medium between the "karma requirements" and nothing of the sort I would go for that. But there isn't or they haven't found one that works yet and if I had to choose between the two now I would take the current system they have a hundred times out of a hundred.

And for a lot of these subs the karma requirement isn't "reddit" rules, it's the rules of the sub. Again I would take a happy medium, but I've seen totally unmoderated subs and they are terrible.

Here's what I'll be running it at. I had Discord open and also Chrome with 5 or 6 tabs.

Here's the 1080P test others were doing. I did close chrome and discord.
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/4/4a76c3c0.jpg

Ran both as fullscreen if it matters.

Edit to add my specs after I ran the 1080 test.

I played a few years ago with a few buddies and enjoyed myself. I had fun building a base and setting up the machines to sell stuff to players. It was a Fallout world but it felt pretty empty. The end game was kind of dumb though and I got bored with the nukes being dropped and farming materials in them.

I was looking this up again and apparently right after I stopped playing a lot of new content was added including NPCs I guess? There were some when I played but not a lot. I guess I would have played in 2019 when the Nuclear Winter update was new. I'm kind of curious to check out all the updates that have come out since.

I just built a new PC a couple months ago to replace my 970 which played the game okay in 1080. No real need to run the benchmark but I'll give it a shot then, I have a 4080 Super and would be running it in 1440.

I don't know shit about cars so I'm going to say McLaren because I like the orange color of their F1 team.

I love them and I'm not even a big coffee fan. I'll drink a cup a year or so.

Cluster Headaches for a couple months every year or two.

In making it a contest of personalities and about unknowable private feelings, the article not just omits but distracts from what each candidate and their parties would do (and has done) with power.

When abortion rights are wildly popular with the voting public, this sort of coverage muddies the waters such that Biden's stance is made weaker and Trump's stronger.

That makes sense, and (i'm assuming) you're right, because I can't actually read the full article but it probably doesn't get into a whole lot of nuance about what the Ds and Rs have done for abortions rights in this country and how one of the two people is better for abortion rights. And maybe I picked a bad topic (abortion) to try to have this discussion about media coverage of two people in a two party political system especially in today's political climate.

I dunno... I'm still kind of processing the whole thought pattern.

ETA: And to be clear I'm not apologizing for Trump or what he's done to this country. He's a gigantic piece of shit. I think Biden is 1000 times better than Trump.

What do you mean, I can buy the board game for 20 bucks on Amazon?

I don't get why an article seems to say "donald trump sucks on abortion, oh and Biden isn't perfect either" is some kind of bad thing?

Is someone not allowed to point out the faults of the two people in a political race? You're allowed to criticize both without it being some fence sitter position.

I found Slay the Spire after playing that Steamworld card game and really enjoying it. I have to admit that I have only ever won once and that was a poison build with the one guy.

I'm excited for a new one but I already know I'm going to suck.

The Tale of the Pinball Wizard is the one I remember most.

with a mod adding more VR control functionality

I'm going to have to look into that then, thanks!

Isn't the VR Mode in subnautica just a view? Like you can't actually move around or play with the VR controls. My brother had a VR setup and I was so excited to try Subnautica in VR that I bought it for his account and was disappointed I couldn't do anything.

Double Dare was great until GUTS and Legends of the Hidden Temple came around. Not 100 percent sure on the timing but I think I have it right.

Nick Arcade was also awesome as shit but didn't seem to be on anywhere near as much as the others. I think I only remember seeing Nick Arcade pretty early in the mornings. The one game I remember most from it was Chuck Rock.

There's a joke somewhere here about how after 16 it appears that 15 might have been the last Final Fantasy.

I also use Grey/Gray interchangeably. Other than that the closest I will get is "tyre" and that's if I'm talking about F1. Any other time I need to use that word it's "tire."

I mean they aren't the same size, but there is something weird where the Sun is 400 times farther from us than the Moon, and the Sun is 400 times larger than the Moon so they can perfectly align like that.

Only if you yourself are a man I would guess.

Oh my bad thought it might of been official...

Unless I missed something in the last few days I should say....

I don't think so. But there are hints. It's more like:
"we aren't working on one" wink wink

The FF14 new expansion collectors edition bonus content is all FF9 themed and they haven't announced why. That kind of leads me to think it's going to happen to. Unless the new expansion is heavily FF9 themed but I wouldn't think that's the case.

They don't look anything like what Tom and Jerry made them look like with the nice little perfectly shaped archways.

It looks more like a little hole in your drywall.

I'm sick of giving Biden a free pass because the only other option is a literal fascist.

You're expected to vote for him though. Say anything that remotely hints of not feeling comfortable voting for him and people jump down your throat saying "that's voting for Trump" like it's your fault the two political party system in the US is rigged this way and you're expected to just play along.

it will alter how we measure time in the future.

Agnew concluded that if polar ice did not melt, we would have had to subtract a second from clocks all over the world by 2026. But because of ice melt slowing down Earth's rotation, this time change may come instead in 2029, he said.

I'm having trouble processing these two things.

It seems like we already were going to have altered the way we measure time. And according to the second quote the melting ice actually pushed this time frame back from 2026 to 2029?

There are times after I buy a game where I just want to spend 10 or 20 minutes with it to get a basic idea of what the game is like. I will skip cutscenes then and watch them when I go to fully play that game.

All games should have the ability to skip cutscenes.

I can't imagine letting a website full of bots and people who think their opinions are the greatest thing in the world dictate how I feel about something as frivolous as Doordash.

Also I switched from Verizon to GoogleFi and save like 100 bucks a month on my bill with 3 people. Maybe not the subscription you are looking for but I'm happy I moved away from a larger carrier.

GeForce Now is possibly worth it depending on a few things.

For 20 bucks a month (at the most expensive), and with a decent internet connection, you can stream a bunch of different games on a virtual PC using a 4080 video card. I was amazed at how well it worked and how great it looked. There was no input lag either. Like it was super impressive. It's good for people who can't afford a gaming PC. 20 bucks a month is a lot more doable than 1200 or more upfront. You do need to own the game though so there is still that cost. I used it for a few months when my old PC wasn't cutting it anymore and I wanted to play some newer stuff. I since built a new PC and don't need this service anymore.

There is a cheaper plan for 10 bucks a month but there is sometimes a queue to get in at that tier.

There is also a free tier but there is always a line to get in and yes, it is free, but it's a pain with the line.

There are a couple issues with the service though. There's an AFK timer that kicks you out after a short period, which I get the need for since they don't want people taking up their machines just to sit AFK forever in a game. The other negative is that it isn't available for every game that is released. Publishers need to opt in and more and more are doing that lately so I'm sure the selection will get better.

But not the trick to see Meryl in her panties in MGS1?
