Chris-

Sort of? I think it's reasonable to give them your opinion and emphasize what's right, but I think dangling your Zoom call like a carrot is childish. They're adults who can and will make their own choices, and responding to a (potential) decision you don't like in that way isn't particularly mature.

How many hours did Giant Bomb churn out this year? 8?

I’m so angry right now.

My stomach churned reading that he pardoned those Blackwater guards.

Biden has all but stated he is a one term president.

The HBO Max documentary on this is going to be so good.

There’s literally no other explanation.

I saw ManVsGame spend *hours* on that fight. It also took him like 30 hours of stream time to find the last trinket he needed to 100% the game.

Simply exquisite. My girlfriend makes them every Christmas and they are, quite simply, divine. The perfect cookie.

But the store on PS4 is still functional; it's easy to search by genre, see what's for sale, what's available for pre-order, so on and so forth. The store on the PS5 just laughs at you.

The PS Store UI on this is the most comically awful design of all time. I’m actually mad at how poorly designed it is, it defies all sense of basic design principles.

Right now I simply do not care to beat Talon in Jedi Fallen Order...I try every once in awhile, but it I simply don’t have the stamina to really care.

Holding off on buying Demon's Souls until after Christmas since I'll probably get some Amazon gift cards, but I got to say, Astro's Playroom is a lot of fun! Mario-caliber platforming controls too...Here's hoping they parlay it into a new game/series.

That would not go over well with the Ms.

Yeah I really don’t have another place to put it. I think it should be fine though, because there is enough room in the back for the fans.

Having now seen it with my own eyes, I think that PS5 tracking might be slightly suspect...It says I have 100+ hours in Bloodborne, but I’m pretty sure my save file is like 60 hours.

BAG SECURE

I had previously been very down on bringing back retreads from the OT, but I think this season proved FUCK THAT, because if it's done well and the energy is genuine, then it can totally work.

THAT FUCKING OWNED

Inuk's March to the Sea

Thinking about it, I can’t think of a single console I’ve had that didn’t have some sort of significant hardware issue: My launch PS2 got nailed with the disc read error. My Xbox was fine, but the clip for the XBL headset was comically fragile, and when it broke it made the headset outright unusable. My 360 RROD’d. My launch PS4 has the HDMI issue...It still works just fine, however it craps out at the slightest provocation, and I have to jingle the cord (!!!) to get the video/sound back on. Recently suffered joy con drift. Starting to rethink all of the ‘consoles just work’ trolling I’ve done over the years lmao

Probably because the Gamecube and Wii were pretty well built, and those are the two Nintendo consoles a large swath of gamers grew up with.

I have 25 hours on Civ VI and I’ve only played one match (plus the tutorial), which is pretty excessive IMO.

Yeah I still have no idea why people think this ‘preemptive pardon’ bullshit is going to work. I don’t doubt Trump will try it, but there is a 0.0 percent chance the Biden DoJ or federal judiciary go along with it.

That would actually be reassuring relative to the current managers.
