Yeah, I used to use PIA right up to the buyout. Actually had them email me asking why, tried to make assurances that nothing would change, nope I don’t trust Kape. Still don’t.

Currently trying to avoid as many products as I feasible can that are owned directly by China, plus with the controversy of their review tactics being kind of about, I’ll pass on this game and wait for the seas to calm

Ha! I wish, it’s a new week so it’s all stress, all the time.

I’d be interested in the FF7 remake.

Nothing interesting to say really, just been a long week and glad to be able to finally relax.

I mean maybe? I certainly was both a PC and Console gamer for most of my life now and I’m certain there will be a percentage that will continue to do so.

Nowadays? Nah, I’m out of the console game since graphics aren’t better than the PC and the PC options for playing on a TV are numerous now.

Replace “games” with “executives” and the sentence makes complete sense.

I mean they could and it would actually hurt the PSN players more than the PC players. Of course that’s well within their right but would be pretty stupid and we all know how Sony executives are at this point.

It was my go to console and my DVD player for years. Played so many JRPGs on there and made me a lifelong fan of ratchet and clank and one of the few games that my now wife could play (she’s terrible with video games). Still lamenting that Dark Cloud series never got the success o thought it should have.

Still have my PS2, still boots and all of it, including the mad catz controller, still works.

Just corporate greed for more of you data to sell.

Look, I got hit with that stupid 2011 data breach PSN had and I still get scam emails with details from that due to the unique stuff I put in my various accounts. I’m not going to try to resurrect my now defunct account or create a new one so they can do more data mining and lose more of my PII, again.

I wish that was actually the case but we all know marketing works like gang busters on gamers looking for their next fix. It it wasn’t they wouldn’t be hiring psychologists and paying them mid to high six figure starting salaries.

I’m sorry but embedded linux has been around for a while now and I’m pretty sure there’s a RHEL for vehicles specifically available too.

Up to a point. I mean they have to get a large player base still and if by and large gamers just didn’t pre-order and buy the latest fucking re-hashed, yearly version of COD, I doubt just the whales would be enough to sustain them since whales only get gratification of pay to win against other people.

I mean look at some of the latest rounds of shitty GaaS. Suicide squad, Marvel avengers. No playerbase, not enough whales to sustain.

The past year or so? I remember saying this shit during the horse amour days and shitty hat days and expansion packs getting slimmer and slimmer.

They’re talking about DRM on the installer there so no, most other games don’t have that “feature”.

I mean welcome to social media?

You know you have options to block and filler what you see so you can live in your bubble of only positivity while the AAAA gaming industry continues to get worse.

Heck, I mean feel free to block me since I tend to post positive and negative stories of it bothers you so much, no skin off my back while I post positive stories about Arrowhead and Larian Studios until they start doing things that aren’t positive.

This is Ubi so if skull and bones was AAAA, this Star wars game will be AAAAA.

Right, I forgot that Fox News declared that racism in America is no longer a thing.

Thanks for making me aware that the situation with the racism like the Ahmaud Arbery case is in the distant, distant past and southern racism is not a thing anymore.

Appreciate you putting me into the white view of the situation.

You mean about the “Woah there , pardner?” or the overwhelming about of racism, bigotry, and homophobia?

I mean I’ve been to the South and I can confirm one of these two things.

Night and day difference between a gaming chair and even a mid tier office chair. I ended up splurging on a steelcase chair and honestly it’s been the best thing for gaming/home office set up.

Unless the gaming actually starts caring about ergonomics, I’ll stick to office chairs going forward.

I will caveat that while reviews are nice, I was looking at a lot of BTODtv YouTube videos, and informative, definitely find a retailer/seller even if you have to make an appointment and try them out if you can, or actually shifted on what I thought I wanted.

Also, a good new office chair is expensive so see if you have a used office furniture seller/refurbisher lots of deals on used office furniture from major brands at great price.
