OT: Anything Goes 40

[Putt Pirate]

On a random I put in to Amazon for the PS and did get it. Will now need some games.

Show is available for Xbox now, right?

I swore off Microsoft after I bought a 360 and it ate some of my games. I said I'd never buy a console from them again.

For both years that the Show has been on Xbox it has been free with the Game Pass Ultimate that was referenced a few posts prior. They also now include EA Access in Game Pass Ultimate which gives you a 10 hour trial of the annual sports games like Madden, FIFA, and NHL.

If only Silent Hill 2 remake wasn’t PS5 exclusive I’d probably get a Series S. Silent Hill literally changed my life as goofy as that sounds to say, especially the soundtracks. The composer Akira Yamaoka has been inspiring my creative output for nearly 20 years now.

I don’t know what kind of games you are into or how much gaming you do or have done. I grew up playing video games pretty heavily until high school then got back into it heavily again after high school for a few years and since then I’ve been floating in and out of it… my ADHD doesn’t usually allow me to focus on games like I’d probably want to usually but I always get sucked into Resident Evil and have since I was a child so maybe that nostalgia has something to do with it. I recently played through RE Village and loved every moment of it. I felt like I was playing the games I loved as a kid only it was made today.

I can play chel endlessly but don’t really feel fulfilled by it. I’m guessing having a club would really help with that but I’m extremely anti social unless someone initiates with me first.

Anyone know when Chel for ps4 goes on sale for $30?

No kidding.

I haven't spent money on an EA sports game in at least half a decade. Same game every year with roster updates.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Shhh don't tell anyone

I typed out half a response and then decided nah.

I left it up there for a while and then decided I was just having a panic attack and it wasn't worth it.
After I relaxed I was like.....woof.

Probably more like F1, sports, classic games. I didn’t think I would get one since last year I was shut out but alas…. Then finally get a win. Now to win those Jordan Chicago 1s Saturday……

From my knowledge, it's likely a timed exclusive for the PS5. That's the prevailing rumor at least.

Though probably being able to play it a year after it first releases is likely not what a gigantic fan of the franchise would be interested in.

I haven’t really been in a gaming mood as of late. I have a PS4 that I haven’t played in three or so years, and a Switch that I haven’t played in a month or two.

When Tears of the Kingdom comes out, that’ll be my life for a solid month straight unless Nintendo really dropped the ball on the revised Hyrule to explore.

How do you like the Switch?

I have an Xbox and will occasionally play PUBG, Gears of War UE, or NHL 20 when I am really bored. Though, gaming hasn't really done it for me for years. Either leaves me bored or frustrated. Plus, I am pretty sedentary when working and stare at excel all day, so I try to get moving and minimize screen time when off the clock.

It's basically wholly transformed my console gaming habits. I'm flat out no longer interested in consoles that aren't hybrids that can be played either traditionally or as mobile.

I'm infinitely more interested in the Steam Deck than I am for either the PS5 or whatever the new Xbox is called as a result (as in right now I'd have to get one for free to own either of those traditional consoles, and even then they'd be dust collectors), and if Nintendo follows up the Switch with anything other than the bigger and better Switch 2, I'm going to be sorely disappointed.

As for the Switch itself, prior to my current ambivalence it's been a great first party and indie machine. Heck, I put another hundred hours into Skyrim on it as I have problems. Admittedly, it is showing its age (and has been for a while now), but I'd recommend unless Nintendo announces a Switch 2 soon (which I'm doubting).

Girlfriend just told me that the walking dead series finale is tonight. Thought that was like four years ago.

I tried to power through, but gave up a few years ago.

Covid has totally jacked up my sense of time but when Rick left I followed shortly thereafter.

I checked out of that show when the Shane/Rick conflict ended

Yeesh the show was still decent then.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Never watched it, but it seemed like the show went from everybody being really into it to absolutely nobody caring about it anymore in the span of a month or two.

 

[clydesdale line]

I checked out after the Glenn thing (although Negan is awesome).

It was really good like every fourth episode.

That was definitely the beginning of the end for me.
