  1. I wouldn't mind a white ps4 controller but that'd screw up the color scheme of black gadgets I have by my ps4 and pc area.Black is good for my ps4 and Steam cntroller. I guess.I don't really like the blue or reddish color of some ps4 controllers.
  2. This is a cool gadget. I mostly use my steam controller but this is more elegant than the box one of my guitar processors came in that I use for the rare kb/m only game I come across.It's hilarious you can get a ashtray for it.I hope they sell a bunch.
  3. As Shagger said in another post, Corporations aren't your friends.If you get value for what you spend then great.Personally I think Sony is on the way down.Just with their fuckery with Gran Turismo. 70 bux for a game seems very expensive compared to a sub service.My ps now sub will double now with the new service.And of course they make it difficult to cancel the sub.As far as value I gotta say MS is better generally.And I've been on the PS train since PS!.
  4. No you're not pathetic. I'm a dude and I've almost cried at some movies. The thought of never crying is about as smart as saying you aren't a man if you don't smoke cigarettes.As far as games I mostly play meat head shooters with a half baked story so don't really get attached to the characters.
  5. At least part of it is cost. PS and Xbox may be hard to find but graphics cards have been a f**ing grease fire for 2 years.PC gaming has usually been a bit more expensive but nowadays PS5 or X box series are incredible bargains compared to a PC.You can get better graphics on PC but you will pay a LOT more.Hell I don't think a 500 dollar graphics card alone would be as much performance as a Series X or PS5.And PC components aren't going to get any cheaper.
  6. I can't specify anything but The last of us 1 and 2 had a lot of sad parts.Just a lot of depressing shit in them.Yet they're 2 of my favorite games. Humans are weird.
  7. Yeah Shagger I was part of the problem I'm sure. i can do some stuff with computers but some times I'm just dumb on some things. I found it off putting that you need a Discord account just to see anything at all.Personally I would stick to the website instead of a Discord site. And I'm all for as much dialogue/chat as possible.That's one of the important things about the internet to me. It's just distracting when threads go off the rails.Maybe threads could be monitored and placed in a Miscellaneous sub forum if it goes off topic.I know almost nothing about moderating a forum so it may be easier said than done.
  8. I'd sota add a Miscellaneous sub section maybe.I got in trouble a while ago because I didn't put it in quite the right sub category. I di spend some time searching the sub forums and added my thread to the best one I thought would be relevant.It wasn't a big deal but I sorta felt like a jerk even though I tried to put it in the right sub forum.the trouble with that is that most of the irrelevant posts start with an actual gaming thread and just goes off the rails. As far as Discord,I avoid it like the plague.You need to make an account just to view anything and (I think) you need to be invited to even make an account.I had to go there to find out something about Lutris and it was one of the most frustrating experiences I've had in almost 20 years on Teh interwebz.Then i tried to log into Discord the next day and it wanted me to go through the verification process all over again.Not the end of the world but it convinced me to not deal with Discord again if at all possible.
  9. Whoever the fuck I choose to marry should be a Federal law allowing me to do so.And again we get false equivalencies with the war on drugs.A paper cut is different than having a .45 slug in your brain.I was in federal housing in 2011. I got caught with HALF a marijuana cigarette.(joint) I got served eviction papers.I went to a lawyer to see if I could overturn it. The lawyer said no it was federal law with no exceptions.He had a picture of Obama on his wall and I said it was surprising that he would allow BS like my situation would allow it.The lawyer said oh no,this law is from the nineties when Newt fucking Gingrich and the rest of the GOP assholes had their contract on America. That's it. I would have been homeless because of half a joint if I didn't have family in town.Do you want to talk about crack?Crack is punished 10 times as harsh as powder cocaine. I think it used to be 100 times as punishing but black and Democratic leaders have been trying to get powder and crack cocaine punished on an equal footing.The argument is crack is more addictive than snorting it. Which is not really true but let's assume it is.No one will convince me smoking crack is more addictive than using a needle to do coke. It takes about 5 seconds with a lighter to turn powder coke into liquid to use it with a needle.This is supposed to be about inter racial marriage.The idea that Dems and republicans are the same on drugs is easily dis- proven by decades of legislation.
  10. IDK if it's been pointed out but you can download and play some PS now games without streaming.My internet isn't good enough to stream with Ps now but I've downloaded and played a bunch of games on pS now.
  11. MKay....Like most hobbies compromises have to be made.I have a gaming pc and ps4 and they're both great for what they do.I think work from home situations a gaming pc/laptop would work great. Covid made desktops popular for a while but that's maybe over.And as noted most people don't need the power of a gaming laptop when a simple ipad or android will do the same job.I had a super cheap netbook with windows starter years ago and it was fine for surfing and watching youtube and other stuff . Nothing is wrong for people to game on.It's just a matter of what you want to give up.
  12. I voted Linux because I'm in the process of ditching windows by 2025. I'm well ahead of schedule.I've been able to get most games running on Linux mint through Lutris, which allows playing windows games on Linux.Steam has proton which does that too. It takes some effort compared to windows but it's worth it to be rid of windows.
  13. Age may have something to do with it.I'm on the north side of 50 and grew up without teh interwebz.Laptops and tablets seem to get more popular every year so I might be an outlier.
  14. I was creepin around one of the wolfenstein games and came across one nazi correcting the grammar of another nazi. Literal grammar nazi. Was funny.
  15. If you have a laptop with a i7 and a 3090,it will be cut down compared to the desktop version.Totally different SKU's.The gpu/cpu has to be cut down some because of heat and fan noise. Generally speaking desktops have the most power even compared to the new consoles.Please understand I don't hate laptops but it's important to know the difference.But no desktops aren't outdated they're still king of the mountain so to speak.
  16. I bought a friend's LG 7 inch tablet for 20 bux about 7 years ago. My brother in law gave me his old ipad mini 3rd gen.I mostly use them to listen to tune in and maybe the odd youtube video now and then.Tablets and laptops are truly amazing for their size but the mighty desktop is still better generally.It all depends on whatcha wanna do with the gadget.
  17. Holy shit.That's terrible.Seriously it's like a joke but very un funny.WOW.
  18. It sorta bugs me but I let it slide.One that I hate is no periods.I hate reading a paragraph that has 5 sentences and 0 periods.Very annoying.
  19. Also in the musical world,Friedman makes tube amps and one is called pink taco and one named BE (brown eye).Just fucking dumb.Meta is pretty dumb but I hate the twitface nonsense already.
  20. You maybe already know Justin but laptops don't have the same performance as a desktop.The desktop versions are almost always better than laptops.But if you're planning on gaming on the go a laptop is the way to go. Just something to consider.
  21. I get the SP battlefield games super cheap for PC.Even SP campaign you need to use Origin.It is one of the most unreliable pieces of shit software I've ever used.At least half the time I try to open it it crashes or locks up.I have a couple Mass effects on there too but I dread dealing with Origin.And for all of you that have never heard of Origin consider yourself lucky.I want to access all my PC games through Steam with no other launchers.You need to use Rockstars launcher for their games and I simply won't get any R* games because of it.I mostly keep away from Ubi games because of their mandatory launcher.Same with EA and Origin.PC gaming can be a pain in the ass compared to consoles.
  22. I've got 2 desktop Dells and a Asus gaming laptop. I use my 15 year old one to watch youtube crime shows. Only a 2 core ,2 Gb RAM, gt430 with 1 GB of VRAM.It has Linux mint on it and it works great.720 or 1080 p resolution and the only limit on that is my meh internet. My 7 year old gaming desktop has a i7 4770,16 GB RAM and an AMD RX 570 with 8GB VRAM. I don't get new games right away but Shadow of tomb raider looks awesome on my 55 inch tv I use for gaming. Hell, Rise of the tomb raider looks gorgeous.My nephew gave me his old gaming laptop too.It sits in the middle of the other two I have. I'm in the process of ditching windows so I have a few hard drives with both windows 10 and a few with linux mint on them.The laptop is 11 years old but it's more than adequate for general surfing and the 8 threads allow you to a bunch of other stuff at the same time if you want.It can play older games but I prefer to game on the Dell desktop.I only use Defender on Windows and anti virus isn't really needed in Linux mint.Defender has worked great for me many years.
  23. Also,liberals don't need to claim shit. They say the shit on fox and they tape it. Easy to verify.
  24. I'm all for infrastructure but I don't know how much it would help crime. Drunks can be a drunk dumb ass requiring police service on the road or on a bus/train.It may result in less DUI's though.
  25. Prohibition and taxes won't stop alcohol consumption. And alcohol and tobacco are already taxed too fucking much.people the world over just love booze. They make the shit in prisons even.As far as violence,I'm sure that booze is involved in most cases.Prohibition made potheads in to criminals with the war on drugs.Booze is deeply embedded into American society.
