Hi Guys! Kim here. I am 50 and not afraid to tell people this. I am married and mom of two girls. Both of them are in their 20s. I am a writer, YouTuber, Simmer, and so much more. Don't be afraid to say hello. I don't bite.

Hello there I am new. I have been a video gamer since the SNES days and have been hooked ever since. I like SRPGs, TRPGs, ARPGs, and so many other genres.

Well here's some Nintendo Switch related bullshit to brighten up your day: https://kotaku.com/elder-scrolls-skyrim-nintendo-switch-anniversary-1849599263 In case your not aware the Anniversary Edition of Skyrim is basically the same as the Special Edition except it's got The Creation Club content included. Creation Club is where you go to pay money for user created mods instead of going to Nexus Mods to get far superior content for free because.... your a jackass. The Anniversary Edition is something like £15/$20 upgrade or £43/$50 full purchase on PC Steam for this over a decade old game and it's almost universally agreed by Stream users that this clearly not worth it. Yet not only is it $70 on the Nintendo Switch, as as I can tell there's no option to upgrade either! It's the full whack $69.99 even if you own the Special Edition already. I genuinely don't understand how Nintendo keep getting away with charging such a premium which has happened multiple times. Why are games so expensive on the Switch when in many cases the ports are inferior? This is ridiculous.

Same as me. I found VGR on a google search about 6 months after @DC built it.

I didn't just ask that for my sake, I'm not the only one who really hates that. Still, I appreciate that, so thank you. I want you to understand something though. It's not just the term and what it means in history that bothers me. As a PC gamer, I find the idea that we are somehow better than other gamers just because of a platform presence abhorrent and fundamentally wrong, and there's a reason. I was once part of a forum and gaming community that was about gamers grouping up and organizing with each other to play games together, but at first they absolutely refused to support those of people played on console and excluded them. Whenever we tried to organise our own game nights on console, they shut us down. Even on cross platform games they set the rules up in such a way that we could not join in. So you see, I'm not just being some "snowflake", "PC Master Race" is an attack of the very principles I hold as a gamer. None of the arrogance and elitism that some PC gamers feel is justified and just like how me and a few others refused to let to let it be acceptable back then, I refuse to let it be acceptable now. Anyway, rant over. Once again, thank you for being cool about this.

So I found a video on the false reporting on a supposed Nyquil chicken thread and wanted to share it.

Excatly what I did. I came. I saw. I went to bed.

I have preordered it a few weeks ago and played the BETA. Still lots to do, but so far so good. Really like what they've got so far and the slide cancel / dolphin dive is hilarious.

Same here

Oh come on! I already don't give a shit about trophies! I don't need yet another gimmick to not give a flying fuck about!

Congrats @Akun and very well deserved! I have awarded 500 Points to your account which can be used towards redeeming Bid for Rewards. PM me if you have any questions.

Bragging about never crying. You can't win with people sometimes. People criticize toxic masculinity, but when you start to express that you cry while enjoying the more trivial things like video games and thus being in touch with your emotions, people sometimes call out on that even in 2022. It's like, which is it? Should I be in touch with my emotions or not? It's why I just can't deal with people anymore because they have this twisted narrative that I'm just not sure how to go along with without stepping on someone's toes. I'd rather just shut up about it most of the time.

Getting laid

I've got to give Google credit for offering those refunds. I can say with absolute certainty that other companies would not have done the same.

Time

EDIT: Nvm I already brought the game.

I just saw one of my favorite YouTubers Mightykeef upload this skit about the whole situation and it's hilarious as hell but is somewhat accurate.

We have a general chat section including a forum games section that's there for a reason, the problem was (and I do say was as this problem has come under control in recent months on VGR) is that none of the culprits used the thread the way they were supposed to.

Welcome to VGR, happy to have you here.

When the game crashes and you power it back on and start preying the save data is still there.

True, they have every right to take the content down, but I feel it's petty at this point, considering it's old and dated content that doesn't matter in the grand scheme of things. I doubt TakeTwo/Rockstar cares what this old content shows. They just want to use their power on people because they can.

It is such a fast game,but exciting to play. Those new to the game will always have high hopes of winning some real cash at the end, but it doesn't happen 😂

Spotify is better, in my opinion, and you have lots of game soundtracks that you can listen to when playing your favorite game. I feel pumped up when I play games with the music on.

It worked I am so wet. So relaxed. So unashamed. So nice to have permission to wet myself. Happy to sit here warm and wet. I will Be back tomorrow

I think its mostly the Skyrim publisher being greedy as hell. I wouldn't pay that much for such an old game to begin with on any system.

Google is a joke to a point there is a site that lists all their failed projects. If it isn't a success out the door, they kill it.

Isn't this kinda old news? I thought Sony was already worried and annoyed by Microsoft's recent acquisition and attempts at acquisition. It's a fair thing to be worried about. MS is buying up these big studios that are known to be multiplatform, and now there is a chance that Sony may no longer get these games if Microsoft decide to make the future games Xbox/PC exclusive. I don't think that will happen, but it could happen years from now.

That's one thing I can't stand about cloud saves. I've had issues with them in the past, where they sometimes get over-written or my main saves are corrupted and somehow my cloud saves don't work either. That happened a while back, but I forget what game it was.

Prey, I'd enjoyed it quite well and would recommend it.

I found your link on AdminJunkies.

@Akun What's the single best piece of advice you ever received?

Ironically, I only played ROM-hacks to decrease the difficulty of a certain franchise: Pokémon. All Pokémon readily available on a single version without trading, easy IV/Egg Move-breeding and EV-edit. I've also played Pokémon: Ash Gray that was a really cool hack that faithfully adapted the entire plot of the Indigo Stadium saga from the first season of the anime. It's far faithful than Pokémon Yellow, right down to reenacting entire scenes from the anime. Such a great tribute for fans who grew up with the anime. Unfortunately, it never got finished past the Orange Islands, but thankfully, it was completed till the point where you revitalize Charizard the way Ash did to win his trust. There were also a few other Pokémon hacks I played for the interesting story, such as the Pokémon Adventures hacks that finally brought the far superior story of the manga to the games. I don't think those were completed either, which is a shame, because I could see them as successful JRPGs of their own with the unique and emotional storylines.

@runswithspatulas said it all. I hate it all when someone is so self acclaim, always citing good about him/herself. I know humans has ego, but we don't have to let that show up to our fellow, it should live privately within us. I don't stay too long with people that brags about themselves, citing about personal belongings, and downgrading someone who doesn't have much in his or her life.

I understand how the game works, and anything that makes my actions go viral, it will be bursted for my character. But since cheat came up in the game, users are now bypassing such kind of early elimination in the game, even if you drag attention to your character 'CJ.

It's not bad at all but they are dragging out the final season now which makes it very tedious. Most people know how the story will end so just end it already.

Well it looks like I'm going to be listening to (likely various arrangements) of "All You need is Love" by the Beatles over next several months since my brother just asked me to play it at his wedding:

Most of the Apple Products I've owned over the years have all been sold but the difference is mine were still in good working condition. Sometimes, the timing may be right to change devices and I just took those opportunities. That being said, I haven't owned an Iphone since the Iphone X which my brother gave me and I sold it after two years.

I was having a really bad day the other week, and found the only thing that made me feel safe and okay for a few hours was to log into my friend’s Minecraft world. When we were young, her house used to be the place I feel safe, but she lives across the country now. I was surprised by what a big help her Minecraft world was for getting me more centered again. Does anyone else here find that virtual environments have a therapeutic effect on you?

I don't know if you'd call it a game, but Telltale's Game of Thrones is a fantastic extension of the plot. It really captures the tension and depth of the show perfectly. The Walking Dead is good too, but the first few episodes tried too hard to work in point-and-click elements. It just didn't fit. They seemed to catch their head on that by the end of season 1, though. I haven't played s2 yet.

That's good. I'll tell you one gross thing they've been doing lately here at Mc's.. adding tons of this "salt and pepper" mix to the burgers. I now have to say "1 plain McDouble with NO salt or pepper please." Really, I just mean the pepper. I didn't know it was a salt and pepper mix and trust me, it ruins the whole taste.

I'm surprised there is no topic/discussion about the game Scorn as it's coming out this October 21st. I'm not really one for these types of games, but I am aware there are people really interested in checking it out, as it is heavily inspired by H. R. Giger, who had his own special art style, and helps create the xenomorph in Alien. Plus I believe he was involved with the design of the Alien's world.

Thank you all for these great recommendations. I love Zelda, I really do. I wish the weapons didn't break in Breath of the Wild and that I was better at figuring out the combat system and what to do/where to go. I'll try to contribute back to the forum somehow - my vid game knowledge is limited in recent years, but I'll try to put in some response posts to threads where I can.

Gaming is great to take ones mind off of things. It doesn't always work for me, but gaming has helped me keep my mind off of many life problems, or at least temporarily. The pandemic was a big problem when it came to stress. I was stressed quite a bit, but gaming, movies, tv, helped me through it.

I use both. These days I probably use my PC more for movies and TV than my actual TV. Main reason why is because I'm on it more often for work and hanging out. I watch movies almost every night with my friends, otherwise I'm gaming.

i don't go to mcdonald's for the salad. if the stuff was healthy for us i imagine it would taste like crap. so no thankyou. 😁

I'll give it one last chance at the Game Awards. But it's boring seeing these so-called leakers saying the same things. It's as if one rumour ends, only for another one to fall into place. It's to the point where I can still remember being excited for last year's Tokyo Game Show for the same reason, only to feel it was a colossal waste of time. God, time really does fly. That really doesn't even feel like it was a whole year ago. But indeed, it was.

Yes and no I think it really depends, like for example on one end we have great shows like Castlevania, Arcane, stranger things but on the other hand we have shitty productions like the recent Resideng evil show or the death note adaptation Basically Netflix has a lot of content, more than hbo, disney or prime, but more doesnt always equal to quality

I could care less about your conspiracy theory's. Gay people exist, and if you can't handle that reality, find your own way to deal with it. One think I won't allow though is homophobia on the boards. There are people (including staff members) who grace these threads who are on the spectrum, but even if there weren't, hate has no place here. Consider yourself warned.

More people are identifying as LGBTQ because it is likely an intentional push (via the media machine and their cohorts) by the left. I don't watch any Matt Walsh, but I would imagine he is probably pointing out Captain Obvious type stuff, whether people want to hear it or not.
