They already dictate what materials kids in schools are exposed to. It's always been that way in public schools.

I absolute suck at being a full healer - I'll get bored and want to fight too and because of that, the whole team suffers. It varies from game to game really, In some I'm way better with magic and in others I'm a beast at physical combat.

To be honest, it doesn't bother me much because at the end of the day, I'm enjoying myself and that's what really matters.

My friend's excuse is that he didn't want to get his cereal soggy...

Mine's a Logitech G502 and the Naga Trinity is an absolute beast! I like that it's side buttons are actually modular...I was planning on getting one of those for MMOs.

I still have and buy CD’s as well. I currently have more than $1500 worth of CD’s and listen to them whenever I’m driving. But whenever I get a new CD the first thing I do is rip it. And I’m always burning mixes so I have a shitload of burned discs around here, and a hell of a lot of blanks left. CD-R’s and CD-RW’s both.
Also my disc drive is a blu-ray RW as well.

I’ve tried online gaming several times with several different games. I’ve always hated it. The closest I ever enjoyed was playing Soul Calibur II at the arcade on campus. The machine ranked its top 100 players and I was ranked 6th. In a town with 3 major colleges that add 60k-80k people with 110k permanent residents, that was no small feat. I knew how to use Kilik, and I knew how to use him well.

Sure, I'd welcome more video games being used to help with education. If anything, it's probably already being done. You have online courses with educational aspects. And who's to say that video games have to be just for learning when played for educational purposes. Some games can be used to help with dexterity, eye sight and so on. As well, some games can be used in historical context (Call of Duty, Medal of Honor). 
Of course you have interactive learning tools all over the web as well, and some games that are made for schooling purposes. 

Nowadays I don’t really see a way it could be integrated into education unless more games like Mario Is Missing are made. There were a couple PC games when I was a kid that were fun as hell and educational. One was Skytrip USA, and the other was Operation Weather Disaster. OWD was so much fun to play, that none of us even realized that it was educational. If companies were willing to look in that direction, then gaming could have a future in the educational market. But all that matters now is the almighty dollar, so companies are going to stick with what they know will make them money. Just look at all the fuckups coming from EA for example.

MUDs for 1-teaching typing, and 2-teaching second languages, and 3-teaching teamwork and leadership skills.

I'm a bit of a masochist so I love extremely challenging games. Just like in most multiplayer games I won't pick fights with weaker opponents unless I have no choice but to fight them.

I agree. It's probably why most of the players in Monster Hunter World tend to be extremely friendly because the boss fights are extremely challenging and requires a lot of teamwork.

They also have a mod like that for Skyrim. I have so many dead characters right now...R.I.P Hector the Dragon King. They even give you a Eulogy for the dead character in the form of a note.

That's a valid point actually. In most games nowadays, the consequences of failure are absolutely non-existent. If I were to put a game on this list, it has to be Dark Souls. The checkpoints are few and even if you pause the game, the game itself continues so if you were getting murdered and thing you could take a break, the pause button won't save you.

There's no real defense of their practices because every one else is also being affected by Covid. I think most retailers need to start implementing captcha (the difficult ones) among other strategies to limit the scalper's business and make it time-consuming and ineffective. Then again, most retailers only care about the money they receive so...

No way! I'd just wait for a couple of months until the supply catches up to the demand and purchase it for the original market price. Consoles aren't an essential item so I can do without it for a few months.

I feel like this is leading somewhere else...(cough*hentai*cough)😹

Is collecting a big enough topic for itself? 
I collect mineral specimens and gi joes. Do you collect games? What is it you collect?
Mineral specimens are natural crystals grown through its given environment. Gi Joes, well, just wish they were here today to fight Trump AKA Cobra Commander. 

I've got a modest collection of retro game stuff and a couple if limited run albums, but I'm no collector. I think I prefer having the few, cool things over the larger collection of other things I don't really need.

I loved odyssey, but unfortunately valhalla seems like two steps backwards in every sense.
the fighting is clunky and much less fun, the story and characters are uninteresting, the quests tedious, the scenery dreary, there is no loot. No naval engagements. Open fighting is forced over stealthy gameplay. Enemies spawn out of thin air. Raids are repetitive and boring. The enemy AI is awful, cutscenes and conversations with NPCs seem half complete, placeholder level even.
Should I go on?

I think I have an explanation.  There is some kind of read error and the system can't tell how much storage there is.  Therfore the software is defaulting and displaying the maximum amount of storage alowable for 64 bit.  Which is 2^64 bytes = 16777216 Tb.

idk, those phones were powerhouses back in the day and lasted quite a bit. But, gradually the hinges on said phones do go, and down the road, these hinges in the smart folding phones are bound to get damaged over time too. 
I think once these phones get down in price, it won't be too much of a problem. Because if these become cheap enough, it won't be a problem to buy a newer one at some point. But as they stand now at those prices, I don't see people jumping at the opportunity to own one, at least not yet. 

Even superfans aren't interested in inherently bad games.
