I was going to get a Switch OLED, but then somebody broke into my Walmart account and made an order on my account without Walmart giving a single shit.  No notification of a login and they didn't even require the person to enter a security number for the card.  The card I used to pre-order it with is canceled and Walmart will not apply another card to it.  All I can hope is they have a system in place like Best Buy, that when it goes to bill you, notifies you your payment needs to be updated or else it's no Switch for me.  

I just use the default theme, it's simple and easy on the eyes.

PS5’s first revision removes a big chunk of the heat sink. I assume it won’t have any impact on games and noise, but we will have to wait for some tests to be done. 

Eurogamer just did a nice write-up refuting Evans crazy claims.  They're in the early stages of testing the new model themselves.  Thus far, without testing thermals yet, power and fan wise, it's behaving exactly the same as the launch model.

As polished as those games might be, they all just kinda blurred together which isn't much of a surprise considering those three games were released in something like a 5 year span.

Obviously a joke but somewhat relevant. Comments are also funny. Although it's kind of sad that some people would believe picture + text without question because it's dramatic...

I'd say it's more so scary than it is sad.  This is a daily occurrence on Facebook where an image with some text affixed to it gets shared a million times over if it aligns with a users political ideology.

I'm interested, but the art direction in this game just feels so bland.  It's full of fun sights, but then they're spaced apart by giant spaces of beige. It also just don't really look "next-gen".  The Giant Bomb video still makes me want to keep an eye on it, but I certainly hope it looks a lot better in person.

Game looks interesting and could be a lot of fun, but I'm with everyone else in that the characters being children being a bizarre choice.

Desert themes are very hit or miss for open worlds, but it's the Saints Row I love so I'm all in on this one.

I feel like the people who know they want it are going to get it regardless of reviews.

I loved the first two, and am looking forward to this one as well, but if it reviews poorly, I'd probably wait for a price reduction at the least.  While I never played that spinoff game as it just looked bland to me, it did make me wonder what direction the 3rd game would take.

Cannot wait for this, the first was absolutely fantastic.

Here a tidal wave of conservatives screaming freedom as employers across the country begin to force vaccinations.

With them saying reboot, does that mean it's returning to its roots, or is it going to stick with the comedy.  I for one loved when Saints Row decided to jump the shark.

If North Texas runs out of ICU hospital beds, doctors can consider a patient’s vaccination status

The Watchdog reveals a worst-case scenario plan devised by area doctors. In the event of no ICU beds available, vaccination status could be used as part of...

 

Hope this is the first of many medical networks out there to make such a decision.  Plenty of medical professionals are losing patience in dealing with the unvaccinated and by no means should they take a bed opposed to somebody who was responsible or is there for other reasons.

And now the GOP is doing what they do best, and attempting to erase their history and tell their loyal base, we played no role in this.

It's wonderful to see so many people aboard the plane, but my pandemic mind is fearful in regards to how many of them might lose their lives to covid after all of this.

There's a bizarre cult following around this game claiming it to be a masterpiece and one of the best FPS titles ever made.  I even watched a documentary on YouTube made by one of its fans pushing a claim that Lobotomy Software was one of the greatest game studios of the 90's.  I owned the game back in those days and it was a fine game, but no part of me was ever like wow, this is clearly better than what's available on PC's.  The only thing that stuck out was it was a huge step forward in figuring out FPS controls on a console.  Still, that said, I am happy to play through it again and this is a big win for gamers wanting to try it as the old copies are unnecessarily expensive despite that game being a staple of the bargain bins back in the day.

Of course Trump ended his latest attack with yet another false claim of the election being stolen.  I wonder how many times he shit his diaper in the creation of this rant.

My mom figured out I couldn't see colors well when a drew a tree in the first grade. I was all proud to show it to my mom when she pointed out that I had colored the top of the tree brown and the bottom green.

My grandfather had the same colorblindness as you, seeing green as brown and vice versa.  Surprisingly, he's the only family member I've known to be colorblind.  The only other person I know who is colorblind is a friend of mine.  He didn't realize how bad it was until I recommended De Blob to him when he was looking for a new platformer to play.  He struggled to get through that one, but kept at it as he loved the gameplay.  It was laugh watching him play it, repeatedly hearing him cite the game was helping him to learn colors.

Might not be politically correct to say, but as a Michigander, it kinda feels good to see another state capitol in the news instead of mine for a rally being held by covidiots.

Gotta love the consistent hypocrisy. The GOP wanted this, they rallied around it, but now that a Democrat did what was popular in their party, it's easy for them to pretend they were against it to drum up outrage amongst their constituents.

Remember when they made Rogue Trip and Critical Depth during their dispute with Sony? Those were fun though Critical Depth was hard to control.

And now I have that damned Mighty Mighty Bosstones song stuck in my head again.

The more I about the experiences playing this game, the more tempted I am to try it.  I've just been hesitant as I never could get into their prior games, but this one seems almost unanimously loved.

They really missed a golden opportunity to compare it to an Atari Lynx model 1.  It's the chunkiest of the classic handhelds and is longer in size than even a Nintendo Switch.

Resetera is overreacting about it. I hope enough cancels and gets me a December shipping date. 
 

They seem to be just as confused about how matte displays work as ICP is in regards to magnets.
