You can't get anything from quercitin that you can't get from eating natural unprocessed foods.

Cool concept, but hitting monsters with a handful of weeds just isn't that exciting. Who knew?

Happy Late Thanksgiving!

We hosted for the first time in a while, and I remembered just how fucking exhausting prepping Thanksgiving dinner could be. And all I did was cook the turkey, squash, green bean casserole, cranberry sauce, and make a dessert. Everyone else brought the rest. I don't know how the hell my mom cooked an entire meal in a tiny ass kitchen all by herself, year after year.

Steam has the first 6 Yakuza games for like, $35, and then Like A Dragon for $12. Has anyone played the PC ports of Yakuza? Has anyone played them on the Steam Deck? I feel like this would be the thing that gets me to actually play through the series, I'm just curious if the PC versions hold up.

You can buy there gift cards all over. Best Buy, Gamestop, Walmart etc etc. Been that way for a while. Unless I'm not understanding what youre implying..

I don't even know what exactly it was, so I could be wrong. I just remembered something about their store being the only place you could get something. It was a few months ago so it could be completely unrelated to this.

Also it won't include the two original games anymore because the Orchid boob flash pushed it to a Mature rating

I say keep the mature rating and show them titties.

Didn't it originally have something to do with having to buy their gift cards from their store? Or something like that? Like, you couldn't buy from a third party, you HAD to buy from them? Or am I thinking of something else?

Deadfall Adventures was entertaining for all the wrong reasons....

I actually had mine shipped to my mom's house because UPS is notorious for delivering shit to the wrong houses in my neighborhood. We have a neighborhood FB group and people are constantly posting on there asking if anyone received a package that wasn't theirs.

Just the other day I received a package on my doorstep. My house number is 12307, and my neighbor's is 12305. This package had 12306 on it, which is across the street. I was like, "really UPS? you of all people should know that houses don't go in numerical fucking order on the same side of the street." On top of that, it's 2023 and I know you have a GPS in that fucking van.

Jeez. All the other Warhammer 40K games will have had two more sequels by then.

I'm gonna use mine to play shitty euro-jank RPGs from 15 years ago. 

Not even kidding.

I can use my Xbox Rewards points to snag Remnant II for like, $25. 

Just wondering if I should.

I've had a Steam profile for at least a decade, but I never used it until I got a gaming rig last year. I have always thought of it as an island, meaning when I'm playing it I'm usually isolated from any kind of social interaction. Like my Switch.

I've never really thought of it as a platform, just a launcher for my old PC games. But since I will have a dedicated device now, I suppose I should treat it as such. I've set up my profile for the first time in 10+ years. 

If anyone wants to add me to their friends list, my friend code is 130902846.

And yes, I have a few hentai games in my list. I'm not ashamed.

I’ll probably give it a play through again some day, I’ll give it that 

I think if I wasn't trying so hard to get some games off my backlog I would have given it a New Game + playthrough and just wrecked all the shit. I'll probably go back to it at some point.

I think it’s worth playing as long as you know what you are getting into. The combat feels fantastic. But damn there is a lot of vent crawling. 

I was going to call it a "falling simulator" because of how many ledges/ladders/platforms collapse from under the guy right before he reaches whatever he's trying to get to. It literally happens like, five times.

I actually liked Callisto Protocol more than I thought I would. That's not to say it was a great game, but it wasn't as bad as I had heard on the internet.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY - first handheld pc?

Thanks! and yep. 

Just ordered the 512 GB model. 

Was fighting the urge all weekend, but fuck it, it's my birthday. Looking forward to carrying this with me in my work van for when I have downtime in between jobs. I might actually chip away at my PC backlo-- 

Not gonna lie, I'd pay extra for a Linda Carter skin.

So will the steam deck play most steam games? Most of my games are older so none of them are really demanding, but I didn't know if there was a compatibility thing. I guess if some of them don't have controller support?

I'm trying to resist but my bank account looking at me like 

I hate that I want to play this game, because I've tried the series multiple times and could never get into them. But it's so batshit wacky and unlike anything anyone else is putting out right now. 

I do kinda wish I could play through the stories of all the games without some of the extra stuff. Like, I liked Yakuza 0 well enough until I had to start managing the night club. I hated that shit and it killed my interest in the game. 

Microsoft has sooooooo many IP characters they can throw in here now. C'mon MS.

Three years into the console's life, the Xbox One was probably already seeing a pretty chunky price drop, especially with the One X on the horizon. Plus it was a pretty good media player compared to the PS4 and all of its DRM shit. You could play pretty much anything you wanted on an XBO. I still use it as a media box. 

Also, considering MS has pretty much thrown in the towel on console sales and focused more on publishing to PC and Game Pass, their revenue is still up year over year.

Not defending MS, just curious why people even care about console sales when MS themselves pretty much admitted they couldn't win in that area. All it is, is fanboy fuel. It doesn't even mean anything anymore.

I know MS has committed to another console generation, but I really am expecting them to drop hardware altogether and go full third-party. It probably won't happen until Phil retires, but it will happen.

I thought I was never going to finish that one. That game desperately needs a map.
