It’s not hard to find, just not alone.
Bundled with the Return on DVD for $35:
- Comment on PS6 and next Xbox console are both aiming for 2027 release, separate reports claim | VGC 1 week ago:
Good luck with the tarriffs…
The last time a console generation lined up with a giant economic crisis we got the Kinect and PlayStation Move instead and a proper console release was delayed until 2013.
I could see this being pushed to 2030, easy, if it happens at all.

The last Target I was at only had Xbox games in their clearance section and they were last years sporto titles, nothing current.
Small selection of Playstation and Switch games.
- Comment on Xbox consoles and games will no longer be sold at Walmart and Target, according to employees 1 week ago:
This is in line with what I’m seeing locally. Weird they aren’t doing a fire sale like Sam’s Club:

I don’t remember all the details, but yeah, dad went off to get help and died, but the car was found saving everyone else.

“The Wilderness Doesn’t Give a Shit About You”
People forget that #1 fact even in states that aren’t Alaska.
I remember, years ago, this tech writer driving with his family through Oregon. They went down the wrong road in winter because the GPS told him to and it damn near killed all of them.

- Comment on Updates that don't tell me what is being updated 2 weeks ago:
That’s been a joke in the Playstation community for years now:
“Stability Improvements.”
Well, shit, we must have the most stable system in the universe at this point…
- Comment on Criterion’s “The Wes Anderson Archive” is the Blu-ray Box Set of the Year 2 weeks ago:
I’ve been picking these up one at a time as they come out, Isle of Dogs and French Dispatch are the latest two.
While both films are a delight, I found the bonus material on French Dispatch a little tiring. Not so on Isle of Dogs, the whole production is great start to finish!
Asteroid City and Phoenecian Scheme both have normal non-Criterion releases.
- Comment on PSA: Stop using Imgur for now 2 weeks ago:
Is this because of the UK age verification thing?
- Comment on Can someone fact check this 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I should have specified, any species of owl that migrates from Europe to America… Not sure what that image is on about. Everything seems wrong.
- Comment on Can someone fact check this 2 weeks ago:
For starters, the average owl doesn’t weigh 16 pounds, that’s immediately proven false with a simple Google search. The smallest is an ounce, the largest just over 9 pounds.
On top of that, I can’t find any species that migrates from Europe to America…
So false from the jump.
- Comment on Microsoft Appears to Have Quietly Ditched the 10% Xbox Game Pass DLC Discount — Including for COD Points 2 weeks ago:
Weird how what was once applicable to Switch 2 news now applies to Xbox.
Thank god I’m multi-platform…

You might even be able to sell it for what you paid for it…

We bid ours out to four different vendors, lowest was $8K, highest was $13K.
- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 3 weeks ago:
Even if you make an excellent game that makes money you can STILL be on the chopping block. See Hi Fi Rush. 😟
- Comment on The Video-Game Industry Has a Problem: There Are Too Many Games 3 weeks ago:
“Of the 1,431 games released last year that garnered more than 500 reviews — an indication that they were played by at least a few thousand people — more than 260 were rated positively by 90% or more of the players. More than 800 scored 80% or better.”
Problem - You can’t trust Steam reviews. Steam users will give top ratings to “Click the Duck”.
- Comment on Kindergarten forced to back down after proposing to charge parents $2,200 for their own children’s art 3 weeks ago:
And the $2,200 wasn’t for each kids individual artwork, it was to produce a collective scrapbook from all the kids in the school, plus photos, etc.
$2,200 is still insane on a per-piece basis. It shouldn’t cost more than $50 a piece depending on the size of the book. I could see $2,200 being printing costs for the whole run.
- Comment on 'My Advice to Users Is to Accept Reality and Tune, or to Not Play' — Randy Pitchford Is at the 'Get a Refund From Steam' Stage of the Borderlands 4 PC Performance Backlash 4 weeks ago:
From what I hear from people actually able to play the game, it’s better than 3.
Something like:
2 > 4 > 1 > 3 > Pre-Sequel
- Comment on 'My Advice to Users Is to Accept Reality and Tune, or to Not Play' — Randy Pitchford Is at the 'Get a Refund From Steam' Stage of the Borderlands 4 PC Performance Backlash 4 weeks ago:
DF is who I’m waiting on, but from what I’m hearing, they didn’t send reviewer codes so it’s all delayed and that’s never a good sign.
- Comment on 'My Advice to Users Is to Accept Reality and Tune, or to Not Play' — Randy Pitchford Is at the 'Get a Refund From Steam' Stage of the Borderlands 4 PC Performance Backlash 5 weeks ago:
How is it on console though? Better on PS5 or Xbox?
- Comment on Is there or has there ever been information illegal to possess or have? 5 weeks ago:
For a while it was illegal to export Pretty Good Privacy, or PGP from the US.
FTP servers in the US removed it for fear of legal action.
So I imported it from a University in Scotland. 😉

Picked it up on Saturday, finally! For some reason it’s been super hard to find!
- Comment on The real reason Britain has twin towns | Map Men 5 weeks ago:
My favorite is a local:
Boring, Oregon with Dull, Scotland.
Add in Bland, Australia and they go beyond sister cities to the “Trinity of Tedium”.
- Comment on Microsoft to force install the Microsoft 365 Copilot app in October 5 weeks ago:
“that have the Microsoft 365 desktop client apps.”
Whew! I’m in the clear then!

I don’t need to personally be an engineer to call out a train wreck when I see one…
- Comment on There's no "spyware" in Borderlands 4, Take-Two insist, following upset over terms of service 5 weeks ago:
Is it worth buying though? I felt burned by Pre-Sequel and 3 was kind of “Meh”.
Not concerned with Denuvo since I rarely buy or play games on PC, I just want to know if it’s worth playing.
- Comment on Hands-On: Borderlands 4 wants you to forget Borderlands 3 ever happened 1 month ago:
It’s a dedicated monotasker, not handcuffs. Consoles have always been that way.

Chillin’
- Comment on Hands-On: Borderlands 4 wants you to forget Borderlands 3 ever happened 1 month ago:
On console, Denuvo isn’t an issue. :)
- Comment on Hands-On: Borderlands 4 wants you to forget Borderlands 3 ever happened 1 month ago:
1 and 2 were legitimately good games.
Pre-Sequel was terrible, 3 was better but still not good.
Can’t say I remember enough about the Tell Tale game to have an opinion which may also very well be an opinion. ;)
