Yeah I can get behind that. I think it’s a separate conversation though.

(Also, I remember when I got my Gmail invite waaaay back in the day)

Lol oh I have! It just hasn’t won out over the gaps and length

Ohhh I see I see! I am really glad you commented and explained that. That makes total sense and I did not think you meant it in a negative way, I think that it’s the perception of it to a large amount of people is probably negative. Including me, but I guess that’s where context comes in like some other people have been saying.

I get your point now. I just don’t like grouping the two example peoples into one category because I think they are inherently vastly different. Again, I think it really is perception.

And we are definitely in agreement with you last paragraph and the upside down social pyramid.

Sweet! Appreciate that.

No I haven’t! I’m going to check that out… just as soon as I “beat” tears of the kingdom lol

I’ve been so tempted to do this, but there are some long stretches without lyrics and it’s a fairly long song too.

Totally agree! When my brother and I got older and super into Halo, he learned how to play just because he knew we liked it. It was awesome.

I think Fidelity is cutting those valuations independent of the protests though. I have a feeling they will all (or a lot of them) make a pretty penny. I know my buddy that works there will!

Literally cannot believe this is how they handled things… very sad day! Worst part is, I’m sure they will be just fine and get the IPO they desperately want.

I started with the audio book and like it, but I read SO much faster I switched over ha!

That’s how it started and I’ve read 15 of them straight lol

How do you like the expanse? I’ve heard they are awesome!

I’m currently hooked on the Dresden Files, by no means perfect literary master pieces but damn if I’m not completely hooked. I’m averaging one-two books of the series a week right now lol

Also just finished Revival by Stephen King as an audio book. I’m a big Stephen King fan, but I have to say I did not find this book to be that scary and the build up was looooong even by his standards.

I started with just a $15 clip for my Xbox controller, but after a couple weeks of that I got annoyed at the awkward weight and holding my controller. I ended up spending the money on a gamevice flex because it has bigger thumb sticks and grips than the backbone or kishi. Still around $100 I think, but it was 100% worth it, if not necessary. I’ve also used my switch pro controller hooked up to my iPad. All of the controllers worked flawlessly, just a personal preference thing and value for $.

For streaming, nahhh. The bigger screen is nice though:)

Start here. I can find my sunshine settings and send a screenshot too. The key for me was getting it to work over the internet securely. I ended up creating my own vlan with zero tier one. It installs like a vpn on your mobile devices and when you connect to it, all your devices work like they are on the same network. (Sorry if you already know how this works). I trust it more than any other internet streaming and I have to manually approve each device that connects to my network.

The thing that got me was you have to use the IP address of your pc as the server name for moonlight, not the name you were using with gamestream.

For sure! I’m heading to a wedding, but I can put together what I know for you. It was a little weird getting it going, but honestly works way smoother than gamestream ever did.

Seriously excited for this! Not enough easy to play couch multiplayer games. We used to play a crap ton of Crawl and nothing has quite scratched that itch. I know vampire survivors is coop instead of versus, but still!

Honestly though, I still think it’s 100% worth it. Gamepass I mean. I recently switched from console and got my first gaming PC. I literally leave it hooked up in my living room and play with a controller anyways.

Gamepass is a god send especially since I don’t have much time to play. I can at least try out a bunch of games and if I get bored I’m not out $60+.

Yeah, especially the last few years E3 really felt more like fam service than anything else. Doesn’t make much sense from a corporate perspective, huge cost and probably not as much gain to offset it.
