15 years ago when I aww my first ad, I got Adblock Plus and that was it easy. Then I eventually moved to uBlock Origin, as you do. ABP was there from day one with YouTube ads. I was there. I seent it.

Mine boils over in a large pot because I’m impatient and have the heat too high. The bubbles come up and through the pasta so violently that they use the noodles to ramp out of the pot. It’s somewhat amusing until you get a fat sizzler that won’t stop and you know it’ll be a bitch to clean.
Alas, it is a consequence of my own actions.

I know 4 and 5 are natively on PC, along with UE and Reloaded, but I don’t think Judgment is on PC.

That guy from Fear Factor. He’s also gullible as fuck. That’s about the extent of my knowledge.

That is also pretty great. I know Gears 3 also has a working PC port that’s been getting content not even in the actual game. I need to try and get all of that running while I wait for E-Day. Similarly, Internet Archive has a great version of the GFWL Gears 1 with added Horde mode and bot multiplayer. Runs on basically any PC too.

This is a fantastic start.
If I can finally play Gears 2, 3, Judgment, and Skate 3 on PC, I may never turn my Xbox on again. Until GTA I guess.

Gamers Nexus specifically ran the component pricing on the thing and it came out to ~$85 over the part value. Turns out this is a decent deal in the current economy. Everything just sucks now.

- Comment on Should I buy a Switch 2 despite owning an OLED? 2 weeks ago:
Yep, sure is. That’s the world we live in now. Although they’ve always been the budget option in comparison. Except for the launch 3DS which was quickly rectified.
- Comment on Should I buy a Switch 2 despite owning an OLED? 2 weeks ago:
Comments aside from people that don’t own any Switch in general, I enjoy mine. All of my Switch 1 games are improved by playing on the 2, whether just load times or more. If you have a large Switch 1 library, you will benefit. If you want any of the few Switch 2 exclusives, then get it. One year in, I do not think there are necessarily enough Switch 2 exclusive games to justify the cost of entry, if you don’t already have a library of Switch 1 games. That said, like you said, it probably won’t get any cheaper, so if you’re going to eventually get one, maybe think about it sooner. If you play handheld most of the time, maybe consider holding out for the OLED, which does not have a date, and rumors cannot give a date for. Reports indicate that Nintendo purchased OLED screens in March 2021. The Switch OLED was released in October 2021, so a 7 month gap. There have been no reports of Nintendo purchasing shipments of OLED screens that match the specs of the Switch 2.

Everyone in this thread is like “don’t” and then refuses to offer a single alternative. Because there isn’t one. Not for the price or with the final bastion of physical media, if you care about that sort of thing. Some people just want to play games without spending eight hundred dollars on a Steam Deck. I am as baffled by most of Nintendos decisions as most people who spend too much time online, but holy fuck people, give it a rest.

- Comment on Off to the mandatory company picnic we go... 3 weeks ago:
Wouldn’t you know after months of no field work I had field work the day of our summer party. I’d have to drive past home to get back to the party. I did the math and, with gas prices how they are, it was cheaper for me to drive home and drink the beer I already paid for that it would have been to drive to the party for free beer. So I went home.

This is one of the biggest changelogs I’ve ever seen. They added two new ingot types and two new spheres along with tons of other stuff. It seems like every aspect of the game was touched in some way. Played last night and it feels good.

Believe me, I’ve tried. They do not care. People who have only used consoles their whole lives will not deal. I’ve tried with different people forever. Even the people I’ve convinced to want one still won’t get one. They’d probably get this. Not for a grand though.

I’m aware that you can build and even buy a better machine for cheaper. This has always been the case, even now to a degree. Probably why I’m on my third self-built system, but I digress.
That said, if you already have an Xbox or Playstation, then the Steam Machine works right out of the box. You plug it in to your TV and you have a controller.
Compared to this where you will need, at least, a mouse and keyboard. Then potentially monitors and speakers or a headset, whatever you want to do.
