    What is your worst investment in gaming equipment?

    This one is easy for me. HTC Vive. I bought it in 2018, and used it for a total of 2 hours, and it sat on the shelf until last year. Sold it for 1/5 of what I paid for it. I still want a VR headset, but the HTC was outdatet at the time I bought it.

    Is there a resource to get Keys for old PC games?

    Most games in the early 2000s only required you to have the CD-rom in your drive while you played, so I believe most of those will work.

    Dear Hysterical Technophobes: Please shut up about generative AI

    You could argue that it is an oxymoron to say that generative AI is new technology, it is just recycling thing that already exists.

    Do you still like LAN parties?

    The last time I was at a LAN party, they were called, "Copy parties".

    Who are your favorite female game characters and why?

    It has to be Aloy from the Horizon series. Or maybe Triss from the Witcher series. Both games have well written characters.

    whats the oldest piece of tech you're using?

    I have some X360 controllers I still use now and then. I think the oldest is from 2007. Also have an old USB stick I use for BIOS updates. That said, I think my 2004 car is the oldest piece of tech I have.

    RTX 50 series performance depends too much on Dlss

    It's like the megapixel race that was on digital cameras. More MPs while the sensor remained the same size.

    Question Games to play tournaments?

    I play a lot of NHL. Too bad it is not on PC. Racing games can be fun. The Trials series is also good fun where you can try to beat eachother's best times.

    how can i get back the passion i had for gaming?

    In a few years, I will be 50, and I have been a gamer since the early 80s. I have had periods when I thought I was done with gaming. Some games brought me back. I can go weeks and months without playing any games now, but I keep coming back when there is a game out there I want to play.

    I think the Judgment games are both excellent. Played them both last year.

    If the world ended today, would you regret the time you spent gaming?

    Nope, and if I did, it wouldn't be for long.

    What stops you buying a game even if its a must have game.

    I have avoided buying games that I really want because of several reasons. Poor support from the developers First person. I prefer third person view. There are only a handful of first person games I like. No gamepad support. I prefer playing certain games with a gamepad. No English language...

    How sharp/realistic do you want a game to look visually?

    It really depends on the game, but the having a solid environment is more important to me than how realistic the graphics are. As for pixel graphics vs polygons, pixel graphics age a whole lot better.
