It’s a dedicated monotasker, not handcuffs. Consoles have always been that way.

On console, Denuvo isn’t an issue. :)

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. ;)

Waaaaaay ahead of you Gearbox…

Just googling… If you had money, no.
If you didn’t have money, yes.
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monocle
“Monocles with galleries were often the most expensive. The wealthy would have the frames custom-made to fit their eye sockets. A sub-category of the galleried monocle was the “sprung gallery”, where the gallery was replaced by an incomplete circle of flattened, ridged wire supported by three posts. The ends were pulled together, the monocle was placed in the eye orbit, and the ends were released, causing the gallery to spring out and keep the monocle in place.”

I live in Multnomah County and the law here is that in order to carry a loaded weapon, concealed or unconcealed, you must have a concealed carry permit. Yes, there are charges for it.
Is it enforced? Oh, HELL NO. Not unless you’re engaged in doing some other crime, then they’ll tack it on as a value added crime.

No, the PS5 has a standard expansion slot.

- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 4 days ago:
Yup. On the PS5, you can add standard M2 storage to increase the usable internal space.
On the Xbox you have to use the Seagate or WD plug.

- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 4 days ago:
You can, but you can’t play games from it, it would be storage only. You’d have to move it to internal memory to play it.
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 4 days ago:
Current gen games can’t be played from standard external storage. You could put the game there, but it would have to be moved to internal memory to play it.
BC games would work fine, but not current gen.
Applies to both PS5 and Xbox both.
- Comment on Sony is releasing a new PS5 console, but it's a downgrade 4 days ago:
825GB is the raw space, not usable space.
You lose some to formatting and file structure, you lose more to system reserved space for updates and what not.
Out of the box, a 1 TB PS5 has 848 GB available.
So if you’re starting with 825 GB that means you’re likely to only have, what? 700 GB free? Less?
Some games push 100 GB, so max of 7 of those not counting DLC and what not?

Digital only with reduced space? What’s the worst that could happen? 🤔

Not only that, but they are un-critically quoting the headline on a fucking YouTube video…
- Comment on Today’s game consoles are historically overpriced 1 week ago:
You can’t compare current generations to previous because starting with the PS3/Xbox 360 the generations became artificially extended.
With no no new impending hardware, there’s no impetus to reduce prices and clear stock.
The OG Xbox 360 launched with a 20 GB hard drive (2005). That got a price cut when the 60 GB version was announced (2008) and that coincided with the much more expensive “Elite” with 120 GB. Similarly that had a price cut when the 250 GB version came out in 2009.

We aren’t currently seeing models be replaced like this.

Outside the US, 3L is pretty common. I’ve RARELY seen them in the US and mostly at import stores.
- Comment on Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency? 1 week ago:
I had one, I had the tape drive for the Commodore 64 as well.
The Supercharger back in the day wasn’t that expensive, about $70 or the price of 2 games, because you had to supply your own tape player, the supercharger just connected to it with a wire.

Daily Fail reporting an unsourced story from Egypt… seems unlikely.
BUT - here’s where I could see it possibly being a problem (besides your teeth).
The dry noodles are going to absorb fluid and soften which could cause a fluid imbalance or blockage.
Also, the kid supposedly ate 3 packages. If that included ramen seasoning packs, that much sodium can’t be good for you either.

I feel the opposite when I hear people complain about load times… “We want you to buy our SSD so your gsme will boot in 11 seconds instead of 19 seconds!”
Son, let me tell you about loading games from casette tape.
You’d start it loading, get up and go have dinner with the family. After 30 minutes, maybe it would be done. Maybe.
Maybe it hit an error 5 minutes after you walked away and now you need to re-wind and try again.

I was big into gaming and computers back then and this is the first time I’ve heard of this.
On paper, it sounds great… A 5200 with more memory and no shitty joysticks?
Compatible with the Atari 400/800 software?
Shit, I would have bought one just for Star Raiders. Of course this was also 2 years after the Amiga and Atari ST battles as well. Why would anyone want an 8 bit experience in that era?
