Hosea doesn't really show you much when he takes you bear hunting. When you get out and explore on your own you see a lot more than you would expect. You can also catch yourself a wild horse if you prefer. I caught myself the white Arabian, which is listed as the best horse in the game, and believe me, she has proved that to be right. You can walk up and kill anyone in the game, but you need to be ready to run, and or kill the witness. There's always a fucking witness to any crime you do. You can go hunting/fishing for legendary animals. If you see an animal in the game, there is one legendary of it somewhere. There are all sorts of side quests you can do, termed "stranger missions". You can loot any dead body, whether you are the one that killed them, or you just happen to come across them. You can get all different kinds of guns, but some are only unlocked to buy after you reach a certain point in the game. You can even customize the guns to your liking. You can craft al sorts of things like explosive bullets, and poison arrows. The possibilities are endless in that game. Just stay the hell away from the Blackwater area.

You have exquisite taste. I would love to spend a day gaming with you.

I’m just wondering if it is DDL only, or if a physical copy will be released.

I rarely venture past N64, but in my opinion, Skyrim is VASTLY better than Witcher 3. And I think most here would agree with me on that.

AOE 1/2, Diablo 1/2, MDK, and a couple hunting games.

I highly doubt it. The cops stepping in in GTA is a script that is supposed to happen. This is just a random NPC that you will most likely never see again, and have had no interaction with prior, that came in and killed the guy you were fighting with. This is the first time I have ever heard of something like this happening in RDR2. And I play the game like a fiend. I've seen floating bodies, horses just fall over and die, people walking around in mid air. Hell I got reported for trespassing when I was walking down the street in Rhodes last night. So there's a lot of weird shit that happens in the game, but this is beyond that. I can't come up with a plausible explanation unless the NPC's were fighting prior to OP getting into a fight with the one.

I have tried DOSBOX several times and it never worked. It did absolutely nothing but waste space on my hard drive. So unless I'm missing something, I don't recommend it.

I've hated tetris my entire gaming life. There is no point to it. It's just blocks dropping. After the third block it's so repetitive you lose 4 IQ points with each block. It's the most dumbed down game in existence. Not to mention that in all fairness it can't even be called a game. 🖕 tetris

I loved both Arkanoid and Space Invaders. I have Space Invaders but not Arkanoid. I'll have to look into getting it when I get my check later this week.

I watch my girl play games a lot. We’re both huge RDR2 nuts. So when she wants to play, I like to sit back and watch. It’s a lot like playing myself.

50 hours straight, or 50 hours total?

I know it’s not your intention to make me feel stupid. I doubt anyone talks about specs in the hopes that someone specific here feels like an idiot. Like I’ve said before, the last time I knew anything about computer specs was the Win98 era. I try to follow what you guys are saying, but there’s so many letters, numbers, and words I don’t want to even try to pronounce being thrown around in those discussions, that I feel like I should stick my toe back in my mouth and wait for a diaper change. Yes, I never sucked my thumb when I was little. It was always my big toe. I was weird then, and I’m even weirder now.

I used to craft my own items for Diablo II. I would script all the attributes I wanted into a ring and install that in the inventory of my character. Typically I made them extremely fast and sometimes invincible. But for the invincible ones, I just did that to try to find complete sets of items when I was bored.

One that I actually got on my Switch, but is also available on mobile is Goblin Sword. It's a side scroller with the graphics you would have seen on either Sega Genesis or the SNES. I think personally think Sega moreso than SNES. Another one that's fun is Mahluk. It's another side scroller, and pretty low on the graphics, but a lot of fun. The controls are a bit tricky to learn, but once you do, it's totally worth it.

It's not a bad idea, but I think they're still a little gun shy due to the monumental failure of the Virtual Boy. That thing damaged not only their bank account, but their reputation as well, for a long time. It's one of the many factors in why they worked so hard on the N64. They didn't want to go back to being a playing card company. But, as gaming progresses and advances, I can foresee Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox all three possibly going into the VR market at some point. But also with the success of the Switch, I can also see Nintendo leaving the home console market and focusing strictly on portable systems. Only time will tell though. I mean aside from those that only game on PC, who wasn't happy to have Skyrim and The Witcher on a portable device?

I've been thinking this for a while. I'm not shy about putting my 2 cents in on topics. I've done it damn near 3000 times here. But when I look around a lot, everyone is talking about games that I don't know or understand, due to me being a classic gamer. And in the PC board, people talk about specs ad parts, and I feel like a complete idiot even trying to read it. I don't understand half of what people are talking about a large amount of the time. The only game that I can relate to anyone here on is RDR2. It seems I'm the only one that plays an actual NES or SNES. The flashback shit doesn't count. Everyone is talking about their PS4's and Xbox One's. They're talking about the upcoming PS5 and Xbox Series X. I don't understand half of that. People are dropping the current/previous entry in a series for the new one, even though they raved about it for years. Sometimes I feel like I'm in the wrong place. I'm playing 1985-1998 while everyone else here is playing 2020 onward. There are gamers here who have never even seen or touched a NES, SNES, and N64. Yet here I am playing them daily. Maybe I'm just beginning to have a mid life crisis. I did look at a corvette, so....

The market for old games is bigger than most people think. As old gamers like myself age, we start missing the days of our youth. Which includes the games we played. I'm virtually a classic gamer exclusively. I rarely go past anything from the N64 era, with the exception of some Switch games. For example the first Diablo game is in high demand, both PC and PS1. I have the PC game, but it's old enough that I can't play it on my current PC. Also I don't think it would run right through an external disk drive.

If I thought I could get my old Windows XP computer up and running I would hook it up just to play some of my old favorites. But to be honest, I don't really even remember where the hell I put it. I've upgraded 3 times since I last used it.

Hellblade: Senua's Sacrifice

I wish people here in the US could understand that. If everyone who travels more than 100 miles would just take into consideration that they may be asymptomatic, or just not showing symptoms then we could have had a chance at beating this a couple months ago. And if anyone cared enough to wear a mask, and not party like a bunch of drunk college kids at a fucking house party that would help a hell of a lot too. But we're the most defiant entitled country in the world. "I'm not gonna get Covid, so I don't have to worry." "Fuck your policy! I'm an American so I don't have to wear a mask and you can't make me!" And my all time favorite: "I will not wear one! Masks are illegal and a violation of my constitutional rights!" These are actual statements that I have personally heard. It's why even Walmart has security guards at the doors authorized to take people to the ground, and cuff them until the cops get there to take over, if things get serious enough. They have batons and pepper spray. They're not technically authorized to use lethal force, but I wouldn't complain if I saw one of them packing heat. But then again, while I don't like it, I wear a mask. Hell, Walmart has even closed off one entrance, and people still try to sneak in through it, even though the doors are shut off and locked.

The closest to social media I will ever use is YouTube.

My girl is subscribed to Game Informer. I think it's a GameStop mag, but I'm not sure about that. I personally don't read it, but she enjoys the hell out of it.

True, but the problem is boys seeing these oversexualized depictions of women, and then that's what they expect us to look like. When they find out that that's NOT what a woman looks like, then they typically become jerks that just use a woman for a quick fuck and move on to the next one expecting to find Lara Croft tomorrow night. At least in TLOU2 the women were depicted realistically. But I just can't get my head around Lara. Especially after Angelina Jolie played her.

He was no one that I recognized from the clip. And I know everyone in the gang quite well. He was just a random NPC.
