    Haha. My family listens to her Christmas album every year when we put up the Christmas tree for nostalgia.

    What game do you think is overrated?

    For me, it's probably CyberPunk. I just can't get into it.

    Health is in the Game

    Yeah, what Zed said is right. But it's possible they may want to work something like that into their game engine so that game makers could create games that use something like that. It wouldn't work with monetized things, like in-game purchases. But just for a gimmick, it might work for...

    What is your definition of a "cozy game"? What makes it cozy?

    To me, there are different levels of "cozy." I think something like Minecraft Creative Mode is going to be hard to beat. Not only is there no conflict or time limitations, but even the music is very soothing. No Man's Sky is up there, but there are times when you get attacked, so it's possible...

    Yeah, we rent our modem. That's why they didn't have any problem sending me another one for free. I used to buy my own, but after having some problems with hardware failing, I decided I'd rather just rent for peace of mind. If something goes wrong, they'll just give me another one. I'm sure...

    Yeah, between asthma and blood pressure issues, shoveling snow is rough for me.

    Well, they say WiFi 6 is required to do it wirelessly, so you probably won't be able to do that until you upgrade. I have Xfinity cable internet, and I just called them and asked if I could upgrade to a WiFi 6 capable Modem/router. They sent me one for free, so it didn't cost me a dime to...

    That kind of happened to me, too. Where I live, we usually get a couple of decent snows a year, but not like blizzard type stuff. I don't have that much that needs shoveled, other than a little driveway in my back yard. I ended up getting one of those cheap corded electric snowblower things...

    I took a little break from Starfield last night to try out RDR2. I haven't had time to get very far yet. So far, there's a couple of long sequences at the beginning that are basically like playing interactive movies. It kind of sucks, but I get needing to have a tutorial and kind of set up the...

    What are your personal games of the year for 2023? (or 2013 for Brian)

    I don't play games very quickly, so I don't get a ton played in a year. But my favorite 2023 games were these, in order: Tears of the Kingdom Starfield Cocoon As for older games that I played in 2023, I absolutely loved Assassin's Creed: Odyssey and Immortals: Fenyx Rising. I absolutely did...

    My nephew got my name in a drawing and gave me a $20 Steam card. I was able to snag Red Dead 2 at something like 67% off, and I only had to pay around $1.40. Pretty sweet. I still haven't played it, so I'm kind of stoked. I know what I'll be doing whenever I'm finished playing Starfield.

    If we could tell the future, life would be good! It definitely hurts more when it happens that soon after you bought it.

    I'm playing the Game Pass version, and it must do things differently. I have checked, and I do have that folder, but there is nothing in it. :( As far as I have been able to find, the only way to do it is to delete save games one by one in the game. It really sucks they made it like this. What I...

    Running into something really annoying in Starfield. The game autosaves a lot, and it saves to the cloud. Yet they give you limited storage space in the cloud. After like 130 saves or so, you run out of space and can't save any more without deleting old saves. But the only way to delete them is...
