I was never into Halo early on, and only tried Halo 4 or 5, but never got that far with it. Jumped on Infinite when it was released and immediately finished the campaign, and all I play now is multiplayer Ranked. The graphics, movement, weapons... just incredible.

Finally get my kid the 3060 he's been saving up for (and at MSRP) and what does he play with it most frequently? Roblox, which can be played on a potato PC. :lol: I know he'll be back onto BF or CoD or whatever, but that's what he's been playing the most. Evidently some One Punch knockoff game.

I know, right?

Speaking of which, I have to relist his previous video card because the eBay bid winner never paid. Again. What's weird is that in the bid history, there was an exact bid amount that came in #2. That bidder had several hundred positive feedback points or whatever and is a PC repair business. They would have paid, so how did the winner - with the exact same $100 bid actually get deemed the winner? Ugh.

I also just watched a video about my GPU, the 5700XT, and how well it stacks up now with newer games. Same price point as the 2060 Super and 3060, but outperforms them in newer titles - 3 years after launch. Evidently, I could have sold it on eBay for $600+ last November-December and scored the newer 6700XT for about the same price. Missed out on that, as crypto mining has slowed down.

My guess is that the person who won bid that price first, and the second person matched it, but never upped their bid. I'd bet that eBay records that bid match, even though to me, it should not.

Such an awesome game. That reminds me, I really do need to play the dlc/expansion at some point...
Ghost of Tsushima is one of my all time favorites, but I haven't touched it since completing the original main story. I put it on last night and played around a bit.

Yeah...I think I'm going to go back and play through this one again. I think I've only replayed one story driven game in my life after completing the main story, and I'm not sure Skyrim counts, but I'm going to play through GOT again. Forgot about the dlc/expansion as well, so that's a bonus. It's done so damn well.

All my nieces and nephews played on the PS4 while they were here was Minecraft. They played a bit of Madden on PS5, and they like messing with the arcade machines, but the majority of stuff was minecraft. I don't get it.

They played a little bit of Mario Kart 64 and said it was too hard, as was the original Super Mario Bros and Paperboy haha.

I just upgraded to an iPhone 13 pro max and making a clip comp in iMovie is really cool.

I think anything should be possible in the Sims. Social constructs be damned.

I have 3-4 Origin friends that play Sims all the time, and have for years. It's fascinating how long it's been around tbh.

I started playing the original Super Mario Bros last night on the switch channel so I can save. I haven't played in a while. I'm trying to go straight through w/o any warps.

It's weird because the boards seem so short. But it's also been fun because I don't know if I ever beat the game straight through w/o warps, and a lot of the boards like like brand new to me because I don't usually play them.

World 8 is such a dodint. The one level with like a million hammer bros you just gotta get lucky.

I think that is 8-3. That was always where I'd stall out as a kid. If I got by the hammer bros, then we pretty much beat the game.

Halo is probably the only gaming community where you hear somebody on mic say “we need to shoot them in their dicks to win”, and the rest of us are like, “Roger that”. I love it.

good news: won two Donkey Kong Junior bezels for a little over $20 from a place that is going out of business.

bad news: didn't realize that he is no longer shipping, so it's a three hour drive in the car to pick it up.

This video does a pretty good example of showing what Escape from Tarkov is all about. All the mmo parts about skill leveling and whatnot are all part of the appeal for me.
