I play using a Samsung Oddysey+ connected to an DELL G7 with a GTX 1060 I paid $850 for and a Samsung Odyssey + I paid $250 for. I can fit all of it in my Dell backpack and take it anywhere I wanted except outside and it takes SECONDS to set up. (Even less for Quest) In nearly 2 years I have...

Best Buy is making working optional for employees, paying regardless of work. But offering hazard pay of up to $5/hr more if they do choose to work. If you MUST buy physical at these times... There are other options.

Kung Fu Kickball has been a staple at MAGFest for years now and it's definitely worth checking out with a group of friends. It's as wacky as it sounds.

Furious about the performance issues on PC I haven't gotten much time with the game. I can deal with visual stuttering a bit but AUDIO stuttering? Cringe. FYI the fix for the audio glitching is "install it on your SSD.". Not sure why that solution bugs me so much but it did fix it. TLDR...

True but when every second counts, you can easily send one of these out the hall in seconds while the rest ready the rig. It's not like they'd be twiddling their thumbs during the meantime.

I will agree it's a slow burn. But that's the best part of slow burns, things seemingly random and insignificant early on come up at the most unexpected times instead of most movies that have insane amounts of foreshadowing. But the film has to take time to set up all those plot points in...

Response to spoiler contained:

As someone who also lost their father recently... I highly caution against seeing Onward in theaters. The traditional Pixar gut punch may hurt a raw spot... but there's one line in the movie that will likely roll a nat 20 on your exposed nerve. That said the movie was great and I couldn't help...

"They say you gotta spend money to make money. I don't know where we went wrong. We spent ALL our money." One of my favorite Tom quotes because it reminds me of tech startups. So, yeah. Full circle. Twice. I wanted to post about the dumpster being on fire but I see I was beaten to the...

Not to mention mid range PC prices have dropped considerably in the past 5-10 years and mid range can still last 6+ years. Theres also considerable diminishing returns after $1000.

This actually used to be true. PC games used to start $10 lower and depreciated in price fairly reasonably. This had been the case for more than a decade... But the past 5 years the publishers caught on. (Or it's pushback against the 70/30 split.) Games now start at $60 and new copies don't...

Depends on how you read the numbers. Wages have kept up but if you go by purchasing power, dividing that wage by the cost of common items, it hasn't kept up. If we were to assume all spending was on goods then yes. However services such as child care, rent and housing prices, utilities...

This was always going to happen. But isn't this par and not an exception? Fans now demand: Ray Tracing, 4k, huge storage, SSDs, and minimum 60fps. In the past that level of power was exclusively reserved for PC gamers. And consoles generally were underperforming SATA2 5400RPM drives and...

It's actually a smart move for the brand. See if Anthem 2 came out nobody would buy it even if it was good. But if Anthem 1 is fixed you might say to yourself "Okay, they learned their lesson from 1 maybe 2 will be as good as the rework from the beginning" and buy it. It's unusually...

When A Realm Reborn came out, very few remembered 14 existed. When No Man's Sky was reworked nobody remembered that game existed. But when you receive that notification saying "Hey remember that game you bought? It's an entirely new game now and you don't have to pay anything.". You'll dust...

Subnautica in VR KNOWS your location. And it knows when you sleep.

I have put over 200 hours into Harvest Moon and Harvest Moon 64, and despite buying every game in the series since (and Story of Seasons, the REAL sequel) nothing has come close to my love of those first 2 as much as Stardew Valley. I still might prefer the more combat-heavy Rune Factory 4...

The college classroom is destroying itself. It doesn't need the help of cell phones. Traditional lectures are the least effective method of education, yet by far the most prevalent among untrained educators (AKA Professors, worse so TA's.) They're also the most worthless come...

I have very aggressive, poster-child severity ADHD. I've always needed some distraction while doing a mundane activity like watching TV- LONG before the era of Fidget Cubes. There is no "watch better shows" for me. No passive entertainment has ever been enough to hold my undivided attention...

I agree. Though it largely depends on the game. I love my copy of Gloomhaven so much I even bought the helper app and the $80 inserts to speed up setup/teardown but even THAT takes way too long. So unless I have 2 hours to dedicate to the full process of playing one full level of Gloomhaven...
