  1. I think having a portable system is a big advantage, especially when several of the biggest games out right now are also on it. Skyrim and Witcher 3 to name just two. Unless I'm mistaken there's no GTA titles on Switch, but that's a Nintendo vs Rockstar thing. Especially since Nintendo is a "family company", and Rockstar makes adult games. Family my ass.
  2. I honestly didn't know that. I wasn't around in 1973, and thought Nokia had been the first. We didn't hear much about Motorola in the 80's. And by the 90's Nokia was king. Especially with this monstrosity. The changeable faceplates were nothing different than phone cases are today. This was my first phone, but it was a TracFone. It was all I could afford at the time.
  3. Technically he wasn't republiKKKlan or Democrat, as parties weren't really a thing yet at that time. He had his stance on things, the Confederacy had theirs. It led to the civil war. The stance of the Confederacy was fucked up and wrong as hell, which is one of the reasons they lost. Not to mention that there were naval blockades denying them supplies from other nations. Parties weren't in full swing until after Lincoln's assassination. No one was left wing or right wing as neither existed. Some favored one term over another. Democracy or republic. Those two words in turn led to the names of the two main parties we have today. But like I said, during Lincoln's time there were no actual parties. After the assassination, some followed one path modeling them after Lincoln's policies, some followed another path introducing other policies. Neither was right, nor were they wrong at the time. In the post war era and the reconstruction, things were almost as volatile as they are now.
  4. @Head_Hunter Some things get me emotional. I took offense to your comments because it seemed like you were talking down to me simply because I'm a woman. As if you see us as crybabies and not much more.
  5. I would say another part of it was just bad timing. As the pandemic hit, people weren't worried about gaming as much as normal, as they were hoarding things like toilet paper and food. And this affected every industry in the world. Sony had a lot of workers that couldn't come in, thus their production was slowed down. Add into it the fact that the pandemic also slowed down the production of microchips that were needed to make the PS5, that slowed them down even more. So for every 10,000 that wants a PS5, only one will get one. And that's not changing any time soon, unless they go through a scalper, or pay some extortionate price from places like Walmart online.
  6. It all seems to be some kind of "publicity stunt" to attempt to drive users to the forum. And a pretty pathetic one at that. On the other hand, it could be taken as a compliment that out of all the gaming forums on the internet, they chose VGR's forum to copy. Whatever their intention, going to court over it would be nothing more than a waste of time and resources. @DC has a hell of a lot more important things to worry about than some jackass copying posts from his forum to try to make theirs look popular.
  7. KP, this one is for 500 points.
  8. I'm not complaining about anything. I'm simply making conversation. Trust me, if I was complaining, you wouldn't have to say it, unless you were to say something like "Quit your bitching"
  9. What the hell does that mean?
  10. Would you care to explain that potentially misogynistic comment?
  11. I found that out too. I don't use the Kokiri Sword against Ghoma unless I run out of Deku sticks. But there's a couple easy ups to your carrying capacity, so it's not usually a problem.
  12. Starting out with severely weak ass weapons. In Zelda you always have a sword that is so weak its more like whacking the with a stick. In RDR2 you start out with a revolver and repeater. Neither does any real damage. It's like a mosquito bite. They're pathetic weapons. In FF8 with Squall for instance, the gunblade you start out with isn't even strong enough to kill a damn bite bug.
  13. I'm still playing the first one and haven't played LIS2 or LIS BTS yet, so I skipped your article @Shagger for obvious reasons. I'm going to restart the game for 2 reasons. I have it on Xbox One right now, but want it on PS4 instead. Also it's been a while since I played it, and I honestly don't remember where I am, or what all I have done, so I just want to start from scratch.
  14. Their VR gaming setup is apparently rather popular at the moment. Since it's doing so well, I'm absolutely positive that they will have a full fledged console out sooner rather than later. Unless I'm out of the loop and they already have.
  15. Either way, I still think the site admin should be emailed, alerting them of this issue. There's nothing that can be done legally, (yet) but nevertheless, it still irks the shit out of me.
  16. Let's just say it. These bills are anti-black. That is their target. They are trying to daemonize the black community as much as they possibly can. They want to reverse any and all civil rights laws, and go back to fucking Jim Crow. I'm absolutely positive that they would even reinstate slavery if they could.
  17. I knew the bitch was stupid, but didn't know that she couldn't count. however it doesn't surprise me in the least. I can go kill and die in some other country because this country thinks it's "heroic", but I can't take medication that could allow me to be who I really am? That's the message they are giving the entire transgender community. "Go kill and die and you're a great heroic person. Try to take gender affirming medication and you're a monstrosity that deserves no rights. I will decide for you, you freak." Also: "WAAAAHHHHHH!!!! THEY WANT ME TO WEAR A MASK AND GET VACCINATED TO PROTECT MYSELF AND OTHERS!!!! WAAAAHHHHHH!!!!"
  18. I don't know one Power Ranger from another, but this is funny.
  19. Playing the victim here is not going to win you any sympathy.
  20. The lens is easy to clean, so that was never a problem for me. And if the problem was a motor burnout, that was also easy enough to swap out. But then again I took 2 years of electronics, so I may have a bit of a leg up on that. I've actually never had any serious problems with any of the systems that I've gotten secondhand. I have 3 PS3's (technically) but took one apart and reused parts of it for other things, and sold the rest. Parts tend to be pretty good money for older consoles. I never had an issue except for once. For whatever reason, I was using a PS2 to watch some DVD's and the damn thing blew up. There was a loud pop and some smoke. I got it out of the house in case it actually caught fire. When I took it apart the next day, the motor and everything else inside it was black. It more or less literally burned up. Other than that one isolated incident, I've never had any issues with a PS2.
  21. I watched some gameplay on YouTube, and it confirmed what I was thinking about it. I've never been a fan of H.P. Lovecraft, as I always found him goofy as hell, and the game is no exception for me. But if you guys enjoy it, then more power to you. It's just not for me.
  22. Is it strictly DDL, or is also physical disc?
