  1. I just type them up in Notepad alphabetically and by system. That works well for me, and I can print it out anytime I want so that when I go out, I can take a list with me to ensure that I don't buy a game that I already have. I did that with The Reckoning and ended up with 4 copies of the damn game because I kept forgetting that I already had the fucking thing.
  2. I should give my definition of the difference between the two, as I'm sure there are people here who will say they are the same thing. To me a DLC is something released by the company that published the game. Extra levels/challenges, new weapons, new worlds to explore, etc. A mod is something made by fans of the game and isn't something recognized or licensed by the publisher. So the question here, is which is better and/or preferred? Me personally I prefer DLC's because it feels more like it's how the game is supposed to be. I don't mean lootboxes or microtransactions. For the purposes of this post, those don't exist. Mods in my eyes, are people making a game be what they want it to be instead of playing the game as the developer intended/designed it to be played. Would anyone here really enjoy an invincibility mod in Skyrim/CoD/Witcher/RDR2 and so on? I highly doubt it, but I'm sure there's someone out there that has written that mod. I know some mods are used to increase the difficulty, and those I can respect. if you get too good at a game you get bored with it and don't want to play it anymore. But if you can increase the difficulty, then you either stay interested, or get interested again. Increased difficulty can make you feel like a n00b again. But either way, I still prefer the DLC's as per my definition of the two. Where do you all stand on this?
  3. There was a couple games on NES that were compatible with voice command. I think one was Top Gun. I know it was a flight game and it was supposed to respond different commands, but every word you spoke made the guns fire. It wasn't the best setup, but it was entertaining to say the least. And at that time, pretty damn innovative.
  4. I still buy CD's. New and used. When Disturbed releases a new album I head straight to the store and buy it. There are other bands (underground music) that I keep up with, but it's all physical media.
  5. I have Hulu, Netflix, and Amazon Prime. As for a favorite, it all depends on what I'm wanting to watch. Hulu is the best for me with TV shows. netflix is the best for standup comedy. Prime is the best for other TV shows that Hulu doesn't have. I also have MagellanTV which is a documentary streaming service. I watch it a lot as well. I'm an astronomy nut (or astronophile as I call it) and they have a lot of great astronomy docs. There's a shitload of other categories there but that's what I mostly watch.
  6. According to that brain dead bitch, he committed a crime by being elected. So that must mean that I committed a crime by voting for him.
  7. That’s a pipe dream. Biden is the savior of this country. In less than a week he has made more progress and improved the nation more than Adolf or any republiKKKlan had desire to. The Biden/Harris administration is fighting FOR the country instead of the past four years of the nazi white supremacist regime that fought for ultimate control and its personal bank accounts.
  8. I'm a masochist as well, but it involves real life physical pain. That is where I enjoy it. If you want something that will meet those needs gaming wise, get yourself a SNES and get the Zelda ROM-hacks. you won't be disappointed. They are designed to not be beaten. The script writers went way over fucking board with the difficulty. Everything you know from Link To The Past is wrong. Trust me. Goddess Of Wisdom is impossible, and that's if you're lucky.
  9. I like a challenge too. When a game is easy, or you have played it so much tat you have mastered it, then it's boring as hell the majority of the time. But when the game is too much of a challenge, that's when the fun is taken out of it.
  10. I know exactly what you're talking about. More often than not, I'm thinking about CTB. Obviously I haven't done it. Yet. When I get into that state of mind though, I don't want to do anything.
  11. That's more what I was meaning. I should have explained better. Games with religion that are pushing an agenda. Like trying to force conversions. Or some other bullshit. Sometimes I leave out crucial information to make my argument. Psychological issues, and brain damage from a number of things makes a hell of an impact. But either way, I'm still a bitch. I have to argue against number one. Sure life like graphics are great and often make the game. Imagine RDR2 with SNES era graphics. But some games should keep the old graphics. We have games like Cuphead, Blasphemous, Shalnor Legends, Snake Pass, and many others that are super popular. What are your thoughts there, if you don't mind me asking? With 2 and 3, I agree 100%. You hit the nail on the head and drove it in with one strike.
  12. I put a new stereo in a 2007 Jeep and can sync my phone with it.
  13. Raycon makes the best earbuds money can buy. They also make headphones if that's your thing. I have 5 pairs, just because I wanted different colors. They have a limited edition color right now that I want, but money is kinda cockblocking me.
  14. I dropped out of high school, and like the moron that I am, decided to enlist. Dropping out was the only option I had due to bullying. But enlisting was the worst mistake I have ever made in my life. I've tried counseling, but that only made the memories worse. It's a big part of why I'm a former addict.
  15. Exactly right. That was the entire reason for making portable consoles. So people could game on the go. But they were never intended to be a distraction from real life. And we all know that system in the dashboard would be a hell of a distraction for the driver. Their passenger playing GTA or CoD would be a shitload more interesting than the curves on the interstate. Keep portable portable, but keep your damn head straight and leave games out of it. We have DVD players. that's enough entertainment. The screen doesn't work on my DVD player in my van, but I can still listen to the audio.
  16. I hate to say it, but white supremacy isn't going to end. It's based on prejudice and entitlement. In this country we have gotten used to referring to anyone who isn't white as a "minority". If you compare whites to the combined other ethnicity's in this country, whites are the minority. What needs to be done is to eradicate our homegrown groups like the KKK, Stormfront, Council Of Conservative Citizens, Proud Boys, Westboro Baptist Church, and so many more. @Reality vs Adventure has summed it up succinctly. As he said, those are a good start, but there are many other things that will have to be addressed in President Biden's 8 years in office. But he and Vice President Harris will get to them in due time, and will work to fixing them as much as they possibly can. Eight years is very short time to address all the issues our nation is facing, but whoever the Democrat is that is elected when Biden/Harris have served their 8 years and transfer the power, will have a great start.
  17. I'll most likely give Witcher 3 another shot at some point, but at the moment I just don't have the interest. Personally I don't plan, I improvise, so I can't say I plan on playing it. I have always said I'll try anything twice, so if I survive to a time when I have the itch to play it, then that second chance will occur. If not, then spread my ashes in the wind so the entire world can kiss the darkest part of what's left of my lily white ass.
  18. By nature, I'm nocturnal. I always have been. It's why graveyard shift jobs have always been the best for me. It's also why every window in my house has light blocking curtains, and in my office I use black light bulbs. Light and I don't mix. But as such, denying myself sunlight means I have a vitamin D deficiency, so I have to take supplements. Small price to pay though.
  19. There should never be a strictly religious game made for any reason. You make games for one religion, then you open the door to a lot of bullshit from others. I'm Satanic, yet I can't think of a single game with "Satan" (as fictional as it is) as the protagonist. Whether your perceived deity holds any substance in reality is irrelevant. We all know Satan is a figment of the imagination. But that doesn't negate the fact that religion and games do not mix.
  20. My attention span is one. I also have a really childish temper that is easy for a game to set off. That's the reason that I refuse to play certain games anymore. DKC is an entire series that I won't play because of how pissed off I get. It's more stress than I should be dealing with, for several health reasons.
  21. Witcher 3 is one for me. And even though I'm trying to get into it, I would have to add Skyrim to the list as well. It just hasn't really got it's hooks into me yet, but I'm getting there. Witcher however, in my eyes, offers nothing.
  22. In all honesty, I would have to give a lot of my favorites this nomination. So many games from the old systems open up really boring. It's hard to even get into them at all. But if you can push through the first hour or so then the game gets to be something you enjoy the hell out of. FF8 is a great example of this
  23. At the moment I have 88 games downloaded on my Switch. Those are strictly DDL's. I'm not counting games that I have on cartridges, obviously.
