- Comment on After Apple originally announced the first version of Halo in 1999, Xbox apparently called Bungie and said "'Steve Jobs can't have that. We're going to buy you.'" 3 days ago:
And Infinite is likely the end, at least for me…
- Comment on What game is a guilty pleasure of yours? 6 days ago:
I still say Enclave was a great game. The reviewers at the time absolutely misunderstood it.
Most of the complaints from 2003 are things people love about the Souls games now…

- Comment on 'The PS5 is only in the middle of [it's lifespan],' says Sony CFO 2 weeks ago:
Blows my mind that Sony was supporting the PS1, 2 and 3 in 2006.
- Comment on 'The PS5 is only in the middle of [it's lifespan],' says Sony CFO 2 weeks ago:
They are still making PS4 games. Just because a new gen launches doesn’t mean the previous gen is cut off.

The skin community is going to be all over the swappable panels like butter on hot corn.
- Comment on 'The PS5 is only in the middle of [it's lifespan],' says Sony CFO 2 weeks ago:
The long generation got extended because of the 2008 financial crisis, if anything I’d have expected a covid extension on the PS4.
- Comment on 'The PS5 is only in the middle of [it's lifespan],' says Sony CFO 2 weeks ago:
Seems likely given the overlap between generations.
PS1 - 1995 to 2006
PS2 - 2000 to 2013
PS3 - 2006 to 2017
PS4 - 2013 to 2025
PS5 - 2020 to 20???So 11 years, 13, 11, 12…
PS5 is 5 years in. Don’t expect it to shut down until at least 2031, maybe even 2033.

I heard a story about an octopus escaping into a library and was found fumbling through the books.
I can only imagine if it comprehended what it was looking at… “Oh, crap, THAT’S what they use ink for!”

And they do all that with a CRIMINALLY short lifespan. 😟

“For example, the Common Octopus, Mimic Octopus, and Blue-Ringed Octopus live for around 12 – 18 months whereas the Giant Pacific Octopus can have a lifespan of 3-5 years!”

Oh, shit, there’s 7 more Epstiens?

Have you tried the other port?
- Comment on if you're offered a position you can use to advance your career but it involves people without boundaries, do you tell your maybe-future-to-be manager you don't want to work with those people? 4 weeks ago:
I get it, I’m the introvert too, but it helps to understand where they are coming from…
For them, these inane conversations are likely their pressure/stress release. Medical gigs can be pretty high pressure and everyone reacts to that differently.
I’ve only witnessed it from the patient side, but I get where it’s coming from.
When I had my first heart attack, it was just after Thanksgiving and the cardiac ward was decorated for Thanksgiving. They had these “Guess the heart rythm” charts made out of tinsel, and I got to see them all as I walked the ward after surgery.
(Bonus, immediately after open heart surgery they make you get up and walk around multiple times a day.)
The chart right by the nurses station? I wish I had taken a photo of it… tinsel flatline ending in an angel. LOL.

- Comment on PS6 and next Xbox console are both aiming for 2027 release, separate reports claim | VGC 1 month 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.
