A kid in the show Happy Face tries to bring one to school as a weapon. The parents talk about it after he leaves and think it’s funny he considered that to be a weapon.

Hey Baldur’s Gate 3 only came out 2 years ago! I know what you mean though. It’s rare when you play something that feels effortless and you want to keep playing it because it’s that good. This game definitely had that! I luckily saw the trailer last fall and fell for it then. I didn’t want to get my hopes up with how things are these days but I gave it a shot and was my first day one release game in over a year I think. Took the day off and I was soo happy I did.
- Comment on Apple TV+ is painful as fuck 2 weeks ago:
I always hate that explanation. I am sure you’re right as well, but really, how many people will cross over after having a horrible experience. What’s the thought process on that? ok, I had a shitty experience, and they didn’t even bother to care about basic compatability, so let’s go buy their stuff so it actually runs well. Sorry, I hate Apple so much, lol.

Thanks! What makes it so bad? Doesn’t run well? I would absolutely like to try it if it means no monthly payment, and it’s basically the same game. I just wanted to see it and mess around for a few hours.

I remember that as well. You absolutely needed to be in a complete party just to tackle regular areas. I saw in the notes they have been focusing on allowing single player runs work better since I’m sure finding a party is probably close to impossible these days.

I kind of want to dive in for a month just to see if I remember anything about it. I played it on PC back when it dropped in 2003, so 22 years ago. It was the first MMO I really got into and so I would love to see if I remember the world at all if I set it up today.

Thabk you! It was Frontline! I just went and looked. I guess I never played the original.

Wasn’t this the one that started with D day and storming the beach? I remember being blown away by how good it looked, which I’m sure would not be the case today!

They probably mean 30 min worth of prep. The oven part is hands off and whatever to them.

It’s to spray your neighbor when he decides to pick the urinal right next to yours when there were 3 others not next to you. Then it just turns into a silly water fight, and everyone has a blast.
- Comment on Prices are out of control 3 weeks ago:
Weird, I just had to do this with $65 and ended up getting it to $62 as the total. For a family of 4 for 4 days. It was hard and not the best options, but it worked.
- Comment on Gears of War: Reloaded announced, coming this summer to PC, Xbox, and PlayStation 3 weeks ago:
Never played the gears games except for the last one a little because I had gamepass and a PC. It was ok, but it just felt like a room after room of bullet sponge enemies, which got old fast. It will be very weird playing gears on a ps5, probably a lot like when Sonic dropped on Nintendo for the first time.
- Comment on Half Life 3 4 weeks ago:
That’s not entirely true. I believe there are several people who made mods to make it playable without VR.
I will play it someday, and this will most likely be the way.

Just in time to release on old hardware, then resell it again for next gen consoles coming that fall.
- Comment on Next gen PS and Xbox consoles scheduled for 2027, tipped by cancelled Blade Runner game 4 weeks ago:
Yes, it improved on every aspect of the ps4. Load times were non-existent, graphics upgrade was good enough, the exclusives were always great. I like a dedicated box for gaming, not that I don’t play pc games as well, it’s just easier to pick up and go on a console especiallywith rest mode…
I got it a few months after it released, which is how long it took to find one, and at the time i was deciding between building a new PC or getting a PS5 and at the time the PS5 was way cheaper due to GPUs being ridiculously priced. I thought it was a great price for what you got and it’s a solid system. I use it on average once every other day and has given me no issues.
It was a solid console in every aspect to me. My one complaint is as much as I like the controllers they suffer from stick drift and I have gone through 4 controllers so far. Same goes for every one of my friends so it’s awful.
- Comment on Next gen PS and Xbox consoles scheduled for 2027, tipped by cancelled Blade Runner game 4 weeks ago:
I know it tracks with the release of other consoles, but wow, did this one go fast… I feel like it’s barely been out, but over 6 years have passed and it will be 7 when it releases. I honestly have no idea how they can even improve much from what currently exists anyway. Almost everything I wanted was addressed in the PS5. Guess we’ll see.

I also can’t wait to play Oblivion remastered as well. I just couldn’t see picking up yet another remake/remaster over something original first. I figured the small team could benefit way more from as many sales as they could, plus I just wanted something new, haha. Can’t wait though, I haven’t played it since like 2007.

You are in for a treat if you enjoy RPGs with modern takes on an old system. I have been playing games for over 30 years and lately haven’t had the funds to buy much of anything in the past year, but I made an exception for this and it thankfully was a good as I was hoping it would be. Holding my interest is getting harder as well, but thankfully, due to this game and a few others, I am starting to realize it’s most likely because I crave something different and unique sometimes.

But at the very least we can see that the same developers who worked at Ubisoft are better than they are allowed to be. Clair Obscur Expedition 33 deserves the same love that this got and features mostly Ubisoft employees (only 30 people in total) and shows the company truly hinders how good a game can be.
- Comment on Does Bravely Default 2 Suck? 5 weeks ago:
I enjoyed the 2nd, but most of the things were very cookie-cutter generic. I liked that style to an extent, but it just becomes very predictable and after a while and I wanted to just finish it by the end. Decent enough story I guess and could have been worse. Fighting was probably its best part.

I read all the pics here, and this person sounds nuts. I had never heard of him before and kind of sad that I do now.

It’s almost a shame that they decided to go with wide instead of tall.

You gotta love that she was convinced not to vote. You would think why waste an extra vote for your guy? Then I realized it’s because they will never fully believe a word she says, and instead of risking her voting for the other side, they feel more comfortable just having her silenced.

I normally set these to x1.5 speed to help as well.
- Comment on Found a good video sharing my opinion about Nintendo Switch 2 1 month ago:
Thanks for the share. I laughed and agreed with most talking points. I do wish it was shorter, 20 minutes where a lot of the topics are repeated throughout definitely could have been edited down a bit. The funniest part to me is that this may cost US folks $600 when the $450 price was already on the idk if i can justify buying this side.
- Comment on Xbox Games Showcase Followed by The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Airs June 8 1 month ago:
I loved the Outer Worlds! Can’t believe it’s been out for that long already. I am excited to see how they expand on the first. My only complaint about the first was it’s size. This one will probably be fully fleshed out more seeing how popular the first was.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con may have the same stick drift problem as original Switch 1 month ago:
I used it a few years ago, and it was fine and i didnt have to pay anything. I wish Sony offered this because I’m on my 4th ps5 controller…
If it’s not fixed in the new one, they can screw off… it’s bad enough they got away with it, but to totally redesign everything and still say yes we’ll keep the defective parts going forward is a big no from me.

I was thinking the same thing. He will just forever be known as the guy. Maybe it will change once he dies?
- Comment on how tf do you warm up plates? 2 months ago:
The oven? I never used anything else. Just put on warm and throw them in while making food and also move the food off to as I finish some.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 2 months ago:
Yeah, that makes much more sense. I absolutely agree, sadly most places draw the line on ever allowing that to happen. Although I do remember reading that some states have minimum wage tied to it which was pretty shocking, despite making perfect sense.
