I've spent 5 years wanting to play The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time on my computer. Finally bought a USB to Controller port thing and the buttons were like not mapping in a way that made sense. Change a few buttons and they're still wrong. Really frustrating lol So I unplugged it and turned it off. I could always play on my Game Cube or N64 but was thinking of streaming it so yeah. I'll sort it out but had had enough for the day at that point.

Been playing some Marvel Rivals and it's just like Overwatch but better. Except their 'Lucio Ball'/Rocket League mode suuuuuuucks and is mega frustrating since the ball detection is janky. Anyway yeah I also hate getting bitched at by damage dealers when I'm the only healer. Or when they run off and die in some random place. Like yeah my person I can't heal you on the other side of the map while I have a DPS or two tunneling me as everyone ignores that I'm dying.

It depends, but rarely the truth. It only took me 30+ years buy I finally learned that 99.99999% of people asking don't care. And they really don't want the truth if it's worse than 'so-so'.

Indeed it is. I've said before in other posts that it's insane how you can't watch local sports without a cable plan unless you watch the NFL. And the NFL is moving in that direction too though the only positive is that if the team is in your local market for the time being you can still see it on broadcast TV unlike the MLB. For me at least I'm not incentivized to pay for every subscription service to get access to games. Nor am I going to pay that insane $80 a month Hulu w/ TV, Sling, etc bullshit that's just cable TV but streamed.

If I didn't live in the market of one of the teams (ie it wasn't on broadcast tv for me) I wouldn't be paying for Netflix to watch the NFL today. In which case I'd watch the NBA instead. Personally the Christmas NFL games feel pointless. Like it's obviously just NFL greed (they're getting a bundle from Netflix) and so far it's nothing impressive imo.

You have to be huffing some major copium if you think he's going to help disabled people make more money. He helped prevent (via one of his appointed judged) people getting overtime pay if you make more than $30k. Plus Project 2025 calls for stripping disability and other protections from individuals with disabilities. So no he isn't going to do anything for the disabled community except make our lives worse.

Oh no! Anyway...

Feel like all my favorites fell off pretty hard. Was a big fan of Blizzard from Starcraft and Warcraft 3 which led into World of Warcraft. Still play WoW, but Blizzard as a company lost any love I had after all their shitty doings outside the game.

Bungie is a similar story. Halo was awesome and the Destiny universe used to have a choke hold on me due to the lore alone. But their CEO is a piece of shit and their decisions to force playtime over fun or enjoyable content has seen me distance myself from their stuff to a severe degree.

I grew up with an SNES and used to be a huge Nintendo fan, but again eh. The Switch I found to be bleh. And as a huge Legend of Zelda fan their moving the series into a stamina meter thing turned me off.

Know it sounds like I hate or am down on gaming. I'm really not. Just hyper aware of the behind the scenes BS and has killed a lot of video game hype for me. I still play WoW and enjoy it. I still play a little Destiny 2 and kind of enjoy myself when I do. But my golden age of gaming has passed me by. Everything now is about battle passes, gatcha mechanics, pay shops etc and feels like only Soulslikes deliver a full game. Sadly I'm too crappy to play those lol

I appreciate that you can get manifested pages without having to grind the base pages elsewhere. They're still too stingy with the eerie engrams though.

Oh for sure. I'll hyper focus on something and become obsessed with it. Then when I pull the trigger on it the fear that I've made a poor choice will begin to build. I'm kind of dealing with that with my return to Warhammer 40,000 (40k is the common abbreviation). Sucks because nothing wrong with my choice persay but I also want to do this other stuff instead. Literally debated for about two months before making the choice and still feel like I picked wrong. Oh well -_-

Ah I see. Thanks for the info. Will have to keep it in mind!

Never heard of that. Is it a reader? My issue is that the text and such is just tiny on PDFs. I had the same issue reading e-books for school. It's just easier and more accessible for me to read the physical medium. But the cost of it keeps me out of reading them. Do have a bunch of PDF comics from Humble Bundle I need to try to read xD

I love comics, and manga, but they're hard for me to read due to the cost. Digital comic bundles are great but then I run afoul of my issue with reading PDFs (it's really hard for me to read digital comics/books like borderline impossible for me).

Mostly I was reading Marvel with a little DC. Tried to stick to offbrand stuff in those lines instead of the X-Men, Avengers, or Batman etc.
