    Headphone random conversation

    Don't think about your mom giving you those headphones. Um, let's just say you won them in the company Christmas party raffle. I've decided I would probably keep them. I would feel like the world's biggest loser if I actually paid that much for headphones, so this is the only way I'd ever get...

    A love letter to the games that made our lives better (add your own impactful games)

    I wonder if maybe at some point they didn't split the team up and start working on another game. That's kind of what it sounds like. To make these things work forever, it would seem that if you aren't a massive studio, then you need to just concentrate on the one thing so that you can keep...

    Played some more Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and still absolutely loving it. **** But let me tell you, then I decided to take a break tonight and try out Oblivion. I got to the character creator, and the "randomize character" button is like playing Five Nights at Freddy's. Every time a new one...

    Get all the information you can while people are still alive is my suggestion. Some day when you are old and bored like I am, you might wish you knew more about your family. By the way, sadly, greatness skipped a generation in our family, but I'm fully expecting it to pick up where it left off...

    Thanks. An update came down that was supposed to make CFG usable (distilled CFG works, but it actually doesn't do the same thing as CFG, so I'm not sure why they ever considered that a good solution), but I guess when they said CFG was usable maybe they just meant you could now take it from one...

    I've decided to write a family biography about my father's side of the family. We already have one for my mother's side. That one goes back to before the Revolutionary War. This one will be easier because my grandfather was a doorstep orphan, and so all our information stops with him...

    I'm not getting sound on this laptop at the moment, so I can't watch now, but skimming through it looked like the "Kill the wabbit" opera, which is definitely a good one. _------- The AI whizbangs at reddit are neither whizzes nor bangs and are completely useless and only try to deflect...

    So if someone handed you some $60,000 headphones and said, "Happy Birthday!" would you keep them or sell them. I'm torn. At a minimum, I would open them and listen to them, which would knock a chunk off the price.

    What happened? I never played it, but from reading PCG it looked like it was going great for a long time and then something just blew up on them and they never seemed to recover. I know people were at least temporarily angry when they removed old content from the game, but not sure other than that.

    Ah, okay. They actually have the remaster as Deck certified, so I assumed that's what you were playing. You probably said otherwise, but I spent so much time responding to posts last night that I didn't come close to catching up on my reading. People hardly post on the weekends, though, so...

    That's another thing. They call dodging and parrying QTEs. To me, one button press is not a QTE. I realize this is incorrect and that technically dodging in Dark Souls is a QTE, but as usual, I'm correct and the rest of humanity is wrong. :LOL:

    I can be inspired by a work of cubism art and create a expressionist work. But I'm not going to argue about whether it's a JRPG. If that's what the developers want to call it, then call it that. It doesn't mean that is what it is, though.

    I don't think so, but I've been over 30 hours without sleep, so what do I know. It may have been around before I used it, but I hadn't seen it yet. I really think that with something like this, something that's just simple and obvious, that it could have originated with a bunch of different...

    Why is this exact same pattern recognition great when Dark Souls or Elden Ring kills you 14 times in a row, but suddenly this scrub has to fight the fights twice and suddenly it's bad. You know what else is bad, this guy's gaming abilities. I've played 4 hours and lost one fight, the one I...

    For that price I can just get a band to come set up in my living room. Then an audiophile would show up and comment that it almost sounds like a live performance, but the drums aren't punchy enough.
