While I have a few things on disc, I look at it in the following lazy way. We are all mostly old enough to recall TVs without remotes. The 12 channel dial selector that requires you to get up and fiddle with It in order to change the program. That is how I view digital vs disc games. In my...

CEC is garbage. Yes, please switch to the input 3 when one of my kids docks the Switch to charge while we're watching TV on input 1. Very helpful. It also doesn't work well / at all with receivers.

Terrible meme. "you're excited about" - not the choice metric when it comes to voting with your wallet. I was excited about Dragon's Dogma 2. Should I have bought that at full price, instead of waiting to see how it landed? Trust but verify. If you want a key word to use for the next meme...

Each time this thread pops up I'm reminded that the next time anyone attempts to build a new PC, it will be back to like 1980s era pricing, where things were extremely expensive. Everyone who paid < $1500 (maybe more?) for a video card in the past few years should hope and pray that it doesn't...

I have tried 4 times so far and never made it to endgame without losing interest in the game.

Playing this out of my backlog... Was free on PS Plus at some point. In the 3rd biome currently. Pretty great game, especially as I was just backloggin' around. Pleasantly surprised.

Witcher 1 and Witcher 2?! Ba dum tss...

I thought Vermintide, especially 2, was way better.

Picked up Speed Freeks for $8.

The pull of the mines is too strong. Return to Moria on PS5 the past week or so.

Yeah, even with surge protection at the pole and on my power over ethernet devices, in the past 2 years I've had to replace: 2x garage door opener control boards 1x outdoor AP 1x indoor AP 1x poe switch 3x point to point ubnt wifi APs Lightning is fun.
