  2. Definitely something to keep an eye on to see where things go. The fact that his sons are already reacting pretty paranoid tells you that they know things are going to get bad. The fact Trump tries to dumb down everything making out it is not as bad as the news are making it to be is not shocking if I am honest, he has always been that kind of person who when he does something it is not that bad but if someone else does it, they should be brought down instantly.

  3. I bet big Tim will still pay himself a massive bonus as a result of this when he could have not laid off quite so many people. Gaming industry executives are the worst.

  4. Of course, that is what he does--deny, blame, and threaten. In this case he actually already admitted to his wrong doing. He posted in all caps on social media that what he did was a good thing because he paid his loans back and the banks got paid, which is ironic because he's filed for bankruptcy like 6 times. The thing is, over inflating his net worth to get better loans with lower interest is against the law. It's cheating the system. It allows the rich privileged to get way better rates than others. And no doubt he under reports his worth on his taxes. Trump Organization has already been found guilty of tax fraud. But you are right, his people don't care. They don't care about a thing he does. They are a morally broken society who honors corruption. This is such a huge blow to the Trump family. And it's such a big relief for New York to get rid of all that toxic orange waste out of their city and state. I wonder if his Mar a Lago resort is legit in Florida. Trump's sons are already reacting pretty paranoid about it.

  5. I have an iPhone 11, so I'm a little far behind on the versions available. I would love to own an iPhone 15 Pro, but I'm sure I'd have to save up quite a bit of money to buy one. The smartphone technology just keeps amazing me more and more with every passing year.

  6. I mainly check the weather app daily on my iPhone to see what the weather will be like in our area. I don't necessarily follow severe weather seeing as we usually get alerts when there is extreme weather in our area.

  7. I barely watch TV in general. If I watch something it's generally on a streaming service. I do have the U-verse TV app downloaded on my iPhone, but I rarely use it.

    Free Games

    Pokemon GO is my favorite free-to-play game on mobile devices. On PC, my favorite free-to-play game would probably be World of Tanks Blitz, which I have also downloaded and played on mobile devices before.

  9. It was the Super Nintendo, which I spent hours playing when I was younger. Mostly Donkey Kong, but some other retro games as well.

    According to Google, "Functional neurological disorder (FND) is a medical condition in which there is a problem with the functioning of the nervous system and how the brain and body sends and/or receives signals, rather than a structural disease process such as multiple sclerosis or stroke", but that obviously doesn't clarify what it like for the individual and those close to them what it's like to live with. I know she picked the wrong day to test you, but you're both going through something very difficult, so my advice is try to be patient with her.

  11. Some free to play games have way too many ads IMO. I get that's how it stays free, but dear god there's games where you can barely do anything without an ad interrupting your game. I'm happy that not every free to play game has ads, for example Pokemon Go is free to play but you don't get any ads. To be fair, they probably have a bunch of people who purchase in game items to keep them from having to add advertisements in the game.

  12. I think it's a great stress relief, though it depends on which game I'm playing. Some games make me angry and that's not a good stress reliever at all. xD However if I play games that I'm familiar with or enjoy playing, then it definitely can help me de stress after a long day at work or if I'm just having a bad day.

  13. I have listened to a bit of it, and I like it. Which is weird because I absolutely DESPISE the bubblegum pop bullshit that we have to suffer through here. I'm a metalhead for the most part. Underground metal mostly as well as underground rap. Pop makes me want to slap the shit out of whoever wrote the damn song. Yet I like KPOP.

  14. My method of cleaning keyboards involves using compressed air to remove any dust and debris from between the keys. I then use a disinfecting wipe to clean the surface of the keys and the surrounding area. Its really effective!

  16. I have owned every Game Boy version, as well as random attachments like the Light Boy. I still play it to this day. But I played on a GBASP, since it can just be recharged instead of having to buy batteries all the damn time. I loved it as a kid, and love it now.

  17. When it comes to announcing any kind of release date, it would be a fool’s errand to actually put any real stock in whatever date they give. These days, everything in gaming gets bumped back at least twice. Many things get bumped back more than twice. For what it’s worth, a lot of gamers consider the Oled to be the “Switch 2” if you will. For my opinion, I honestly don’t know where they could really go from here. They have VR, and have released a hybrid system which is one of the most popular Nintendo devices ever. So if you ask me, they have kinda shot them selves in the foot.

  19. I enjoy both kinds of games. But I do tend to prefer Single-player story games, or co-op games that can add story to them. Horizon Zero Dawn & Forbidden West are my two favorite story-based games.

  20. I've never trusted 3rd party controllers, simply because they have never lasted. Within a month to two months it was trashcan filler. But after reading this, I would be willing to try it if I was to decide to get a third party. One nitpicky thing, is that to me it looks more like the PS5 controller than the PS4 controller. But that may just be me. It is really interesting to hear someone speaking positively about third party anything. That said, I can't say much else because, while I have seen a few things about it, I haven't used it. So I'm not allowed an opinion on performance. I've never owned a monkey, so I can't comment on their behaviour. Same thing. Either way, great review.

  21. I have become pretty burned out when it comes to Call of Duty. The last Call of Duty I really enjoyed was Black Ops 3 and after that, they just kind of became stale for me with nothing really new coming to the game. I have checked the trailer out for Modern Warfare 3 2023 and as much as it does look good, I can't help but feel as though it is again, something that isn't much new and just the same old. I may give it a try as I know my other half may be picking it up but it may be another game I miss again this year.

    Thanks. I hope my family sees justice. They had no right to stop her treatment. Dialysis is vital for someone with renal failure. And my mum packed her things and left the hospice, to come home. So one day, nurses came one after the other and overdosed her on either fentanyl or tranquillisers. Then by not draining the excess fluid in her body that had been gathering up, this stupid negligence caused her stomach to swell up, and then the bodily toxins would have kicked in. And I'm sure that malpractice would have worsened her abdominal aortic aneurysm.

  23. Of the ones I've played, I can't say they're wrong. These games are a half a shade from impossible.

  24. Playing video games can actually help improve your memory skills. When you play games, you need to remember lots of important things like the rules, objectives, strategies, and even where certain things are located in the game. This constant exercise of your memory while gaming can actually make your memory better over time. Some games, like puzzles or strategy games, are designed to specifically challenge your memory and thinking abilities, which can ultimately help you remember things more easily. However, it's important to note that the impact on your memory may vary depending on the type of games you play and how long you play them for.

  26. Yes! and since it has characters from Final Fantasy - I think that was their goal for it be semi-similar to having that group of friends that come together to fight darkness. It's a good theme and was great for me at a younger age.

    Heylo!

    Hey there, I'm Reverie! I'm 31 and I enjoy video games. Kingdom Hearts is what got me started, but I enjoy FPS and MMORPG's now a days. Looking forward to getting to know you all in the community! 🙂

  28. I think that's a great idea. They do something very similar to that over on JoyFreak whare the editor's articles get posted as topics. The problem over there is that one of those editors (who shall remain nameless) basically abuses the system and uses thier "articles" to peddle affiliate links, some of which are really shady. However, I am in support of this. I hope @DC can work that in in some automatic way, but in the meantime it might take either myself or @The Blackangel to update a sticky thread for it.

  29. What if we had open discussion on VGR news articles? Or somehow just have VGR news headlines in the Video Game Discussions section under Gaming News. A headline and link under Gaming News would be cool. That way we can always be reminded we have someone dedicating time to write news articles on VGR.

  31. Are you strictly wanting sci-fi, or are you open to other genre's? I'm looking at my library and will list the ones that stick out to me most before posting my entire PS3/PS4 list. I'll post some trailers after that. That said, the main two from PS3 that stick out for me are Thief and Dante's Inferno. God Of War is a great series, but we all know what those games are like, so I don't think a trailer is necessary in any way. Which Infamous games have you played? From PS4, despite them being horror games, I would highly recommend you check out the Dark Pictures Anthology. Little Hope and Man Of Medan are my two favorites in the franchise. Actually, I recommend everyone check them out. But then if you want only sci-fi, you could start out looking at Star Wars just as a jumping off point, and consider games that leads you to. PS3 - - - Assassins Creed 1,2,3 Avatar The Game Bound By Flame Castlevania Lords Of Shadows 1,2 Dantes Inferno Dark Kingdom Dark Souls 1,2 Darksiders 1,2 Defiance (DDL) Demons Souls Devil May Cry 1,2,3,4 Dishonored (2 Copies) Dragon Age II Dragon Age Inquisition Deluxe Edition Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition (DA Origins, DA Origins Awakening) Dragons Dogma Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Fallen Angel Sacred II Family Guy Back To The Multiverse FFX/X2 God Of War 1,2,3, Chains Of Olympus, Ghost Of Sparta, Ascension Heavenly Sword Hunted: The Demons Forge Infamous Collection (Infamous, Infamous2, Infamous: Festival Of Blood) Lair Last Of Us, The Ninja Gaiden 3 Razors Edge Reckoning Kingdom Of Amalur Remember Me Rise Of The Argonauts Risen 2 Dark Waters Risen 3 Titan Lords South Park The Stick Of Truth Thief Two Worlds ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************* PS4 - - - Bloodborne CodeVein Dark Pictures Anthology: House Of Ashes Dark Pictures Anthology: Little Hope Dark Pictures Anthology: Man Of Medan Dark Pictures Anthology: The Devil In Me Detroit: Become Human Dishonored Definitive Edition Dragon Age Inquisition Final Fantasy XII The Zodiac Age For Honor Gold Edition God Of War God Of War III remastered Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice Horizon Zero Dawn Kingdom Come Deliverance Kingdoms Of Amalur: Re-Reconing Lords Of The Fallen Mortal Kombat 11 (steelbook) Mortal Shell Pillars Of Eternity Complete Edition Re-Reckoning Kingdom Of Amalur Red Dead Redemption II Ultimate Edition Shovel Knight Styx: Shards Of Darkness Tormented Souls Uncharted The Nathan Drake Collection (Drake's Fortune, Among Thieves, Drake's Deception) Vampyr *******************************************************************************************************************************************************************

  32. I like you said that about friends and fighting darkness. Reminds me of playing Final Fantasy 15, or actually any FF game where you have a group of friends that come together to fight darkness. I really like the friendship in FF15, and playing in an open world, drive around, and camp sites to wait for the morning while they cook and hang out. It brings a good feeling.

    Heylo!

    Ave and welcome. It's always nice to see "new faces" so to speak. This forum is very inclusive, and considering the population, there is never a question that can't be answered by at least one person. Gaming styles and preferences are all covered. For example, I am the resident classic gamer. I play the old stuff mainly from the N64 and back. But I also know RDR2 inside and out. So someone, somewhere, will know the answer to what you're seeking. Ave

  34. There were some switch games I thought I'd be excited for - but after looking more into them I'm not AS excited 😧 The only game coming that sounds worthy of excitement is Starfield. It looks like a lot of fun, there has been quite a bit of hype but I've heard it wasn't as great as people hoped for.

  35. Kingdom Hearts always pushes you to remember to fight the darkness. The light always wins! It's one of my favorite messages. Also with that, it reminds you with friends anything is possible. I also have to agree with those who mentioned Animal Crossing. The NPC's are very positive even when they are being upset with you lol. You can consistently see growth within your island and that's encouraging!

    Did you ever play Frogger?

    Nor can I - although, I wouldn't have gone into any arcades until the early 2000s, by which point Frogger wasn't exactly cutting-edge 😛 .

  37. If you want an awesome horror game, you should check out Layers Of Fear: Legacy. There's no combat in it, as it focuses more on the psychological terror aspect. If you've ever seen Rose Red, then you'll have an idea what the game is like. It's available on just about all platforms, so you should be able to get it no matter what you prefer to game on. I just went with the Switch trailer because it was the first one to pop up.

    Plan for the upcoming weekend is to mostly relax, spend time with loved ones, and possibility enjoy the weather if UK weather allows this. I might squeeze in a movie at the Cinema, depending on how much time is available. What about you?

  41. Baldur's Gate 3 is a game that like myself, many fans of the series and RPG enthusiasts are eagerly looking forward to. I'm sure that many are excited about the opportunity to play the next series of the Baldur's Gate on Xbox. RPG isn't my favorites' niche, I'm more of a Battle Royale person but still love to see what new video games have to offer. Thank you for the insight into the title too, Shortie.

  42. I can't say that I have ever played Witcher 3 Wild Hunt but I hear so many people going on about it and how they love the game and the character Geralt. It's definitely a game that I would love to try when I have the time though!

  44. Muscle memory is a very real thing in gaming I will admit. There have been many times when I have come away from a game for a while and as soon as I go back on it, it's like I never stopped playing it and my game play and what buttons and such I need to hit and use tend to come back to me naturally. Muscle memory really is a great thing which I do believe can also help with memory skills which are very important through life and as we get older.

  45. When my old ones needed cleaning, I took them apart, put all the keys and the frame in the dishwasher but left the electrical components on my desk. I would let the frame and keys dry overnight, then put it all back together. The keyboard I have now, I wouldn't be able to do that with. I wish I could.

  46. I am a firm believer that it does help sharpen your memory skills. I believe any game you play can help with your memory skills as every game takes some kind of remembering whether it be a strategy that you need to remember or memorize or even something you did to get past a level in a game, it all adds up and helps with your memory skills.

  47. It definitely does help sharpen your memory skills although you'll probably see the most noticeable improvement in people who play games that require you to use some brainpower to solve puzzles/challenges.

  48. What’s the key to gaming affordably? Taking advantage of deals when they show up. Whether you are hunting for discounts or you want to share a sweet deal you just discovered, this is the place to do it. But we have a few rules and guidelines for you to follow. What to Post This section is for game and gaming-related deals only. That means you can share discounts on video games, subscriptions, and anything else game-related (i.e. PS Plus or Xbox Games with Gold, Epic’s free games, and so forth). Please include only the sale price in your post, not the standard list price. We ask that you do your best to only share links to discounts from trusted sellers. What is a trusted seller? Obviously any official source (i.e. the PlayStation Store) is a trusted seller, or a major retailer like GameStop or Best Buy. As far as resellers go, speaking for myself, I am very uncomfortable with key resellers. Please only include deals from key resellers you have personally dealt with in the past and had good experiences with. A short summary of your experience would be appreciated. Post Formatting All posts need to include: The item The sale price The website where the deal can be claimed When the deal begins and ends Do NOT use any hyperlinks, shortened URLs or affiliate links. If you do, your post will be removed. Have several deals to post at once? Please compile them into a single post rather than several individual topics. As always, these rules and guidelines are subject to change without notice, so please check on them regularly. Thank you for sharing the exciting deals and promotions you find with your fellow members. We all appreciate your contributions! Have fun sharing and shopping for deals!
