Edit: Nostalgia aside, this is a great, mellow, more recent song of theirs, as well.

Dear Regina: Please throw away my number and STFU. I know it's silly and petty of me, but it's driving me crazy.

The internet is great because you can always find some picture somewhere to express how you're feeling any given day. That is basically me for several days. ...btw, the 55" TV is already feeling too small - if I want to sit farther away/not at the desk, I mean. What I need is a ceiling rail track mounting system so I can move the TV closer/farther by pulling on it or a handle, like a curtain.

I wouldn't call it cheating, no. To me cheating is intentionally using a known bug/glitch to dupe stuff or be able to steal/kill/whatever without any intended consequences, for example, or using 3rd party hex edits/trainers/mods to force abilities, items, skills, circumvent time-grinds, and all of that. Now, personally, I don't mind the latter in a single-player game - especially as I get older sometimes I'll use those to save time, because I'm pretty lazy these days and don't feel like spending 30 hours killing the same enemy 5000x, or because I'm more interested in seeing/exploring a world vs. game progression goals and "beating the game", or something along those lines. Or I've finished a game and am just goofing off at that point. Anyway, changing difficulty isn't cheating and as others said, it becomes more a matter of ... how do YOU feel about it. I might do something like ... lower it to get through it, save the game, then reload and try again a few times on the original difficulty the next day. If I don't manage it after a few tries I'll shrug and continue on with the save I made after the "easier" fight. I might get more emotional satisfaction from beating it on my originally chosen difficulty but I don't waste a lot of time if it becomes too hard (or the game is cheesing things too much etc) in one fight. I typically have other game things that I want to waste spend time vs. "beating something" so for me, after a jolly good try or three, I don't regret stuff like that. Edit: I should say there have been some games (usually RTS) where I can get very stubborn and keep trying to figure out how to win a map scenario for a long time where it sorta becomes a thing, but more action-oriented "boss battle" type games ... for me, nah, not so much.

Also watched The Midnight Sky. It was well acted, visually nice to look at, and ... that's about all I can say about it. I'd agree it's quite dreary, or perhaps too sterile - if you use The Road as an example, that film had more emotional weight/heft to it then this one, with better focus.

Watched three episodes of "Your Honor." That first episode so far is the best one. 2nd and 3rd were slower and pretty predictable in terms of crisis and management. There's nothing all that innovate re: plot and such. Mostly you'll have fun watching Cranston be Cranston, or not. The chr. of Cranston's son may get on some people's nerves re: stupidity and passive deer aspects. Could get better later ofc.

Pretend I'm on Twitch and this is my exaggerated "I really didn't need to see that" reaction the first time I ran across this guy.

Hubby: "Since you can't eat bad carbs anymore, I went to Home Depot and bought these. Merry Xmas!" *drops a bunch of clothes washer sink lint socks on top of my head* Happy Holiday everyone.

https://wccftech.com/asus-geforce-rtx-3080-ti-20-gb-geforce-rtx-3060-12-gb-rog-strix-custom-graphics-cards-leak/ ...Cyberpunk has me wanting one. But so far that's probably the only gaming reason for me to get one. Do people think it'll only be around 2 more years for 40xx etc. lines? Or do you think it'll be extended another year or two this time...

Jack O'Neill forever.

Also...npc civilians get to have the coolest/weirdest stuff, it's not fair. I want it.

This is nice, now I don't have to worry. Hopefully. Although ... has anyone else been getting a little more graphic pop-in since these last two patches? I feel like the graphics became slightly worse (same settings). Maybe it's my imagination but ... I recall how the more they "optimized" FFXV the worse some graphics looked regardless of settings. Sigh. I hope that doesn't happen here, at least by much. *pick,pick,pick*

I rather saw that guys video as more of a self-aware parody and maybe a subtle message to his viewers (hence his honest humor re: the fact that yes he wasn't using his own assets) re: creating games is a lot of hard work/is not as easy or simple as ppl seem to think it is. But mostly, I just found his humor style funny. I mean, I laugh at some of the actual glitch videos, because glitches can be funny from any game. (ahh, memories of some FFXV glitches...) It's more the "boycott 4ever/I hope the devs crash and burn/I hate this game so no one should like this game" type of stuff that I don't like. As always, just me tho!

Hubby: "How do you spell 'errand', like you have to go do something? Searching isn't helping..." ...I mention this only because, afterwards, I tried typing "airund" and "airrund" into search, which I bet is similar to what hubby probably tried before calling to me. Try it, even Google won't think "did you mean errand?" Which is interesting/kind of surprising, actually. Google-fail! haha. Dictionaries/search only help if your phonetic spelling is kind of close to what you're looking for.

I just CTD/flatlined after loading a save, going to the apt, then clicked on apt door to leave and flatlined. First time I've had any CTD. Oh well. After watching some recent videos I'm tempted to start pouring all points into Tech so I can shoot through walls and floors. That looks like OP'd fun with guns. Also, not having watched news or trailers for this game for months/years, I had no idea about a certain something re: a chr and now I'm kinda gamey- ticked off. Oh well, x2.

If I felt like/needed to make extra cash, I'd rather make it doing something like this instacart than standing behind a register at Wal-Mart. When I was a teen/YA I used to wish for jobs like that, that didn't require driving an actual company truck (I'm too small) or giant manly arm muscles. ...although if a grocery customer wanted someone to pick up eight super-max packages of bottled water and carry it up their long hilly dirt pathway to the front door, I would have to still decline.

Guys, help me, I loaded up Cyberpunk for the first time since the last patch, and something is horribly wrong! ....actually, I watched/lol'd at this video (the creator's narration was hilarious imo), then download his "game." You can actually play it, kind of. I mean, it's a total joke, right, yet it's still crazy what people can do in so short a time these days.

I didn't know I needed or wanted another Beatles documentary until I found Peter Jackson's sneak peek at some of the "unseen" footage he has access to for his upcoming film.

Warning, bad language (and more bad language)! That said ... omg. Dunno if this short series will be good or not, but this trailer is gold.

It's not really like that at all ... although the Cube comparison would be closer than HG. I did initially think it was just going to be a bunch of those puzzle-box room type scenarios, but every game is very different. It's not the greatest thing since sliced bread and I'm not saying it's deep or anything like that but it has more ... heart? intensity? moody? not quite sure? than most of the genre. Just me tho.

Well, you could say Borderlands loot system is a lot like Diablo. It's nothing very unique. There is also no crafting in BL. Outside of some higher tier loot having a few randomized special stats, Cyberpunk's loot feels a lot more static, from what I've seen. I don't know how random loot drops/placement actually is (or is not) but it has more of a static feel. I actually was finding the loot rather ... dull overall, outside of finding clothing where I simply liked the appearance of it more. As to Keanu - I like him in his silly movies but I've been in no hurry to get to him in the game. I'm guessing I'll chuckle at his monotone line delivery. I usually don't like famous faces in video games, outside of a cameo maybe, because the uncanny valley becomes impossible to ignore when you know what the real person looks like.

The only one of those games I've played is Borderlands (and maybe about 2 hrs of System Shock 2 forever ago). I don't think there's all that much about Cyberpunk that's going to really make you think "Borderlands". Even using a controller the gunplay is nothing like it (BL is much better gunplay control w/controller, imo). It is in first person tho. :P There are moments in the game, both that I've seen and seen others playing in, that for some reason reminded me just a smidgen of FO:NV, tho. The desert-y stuff certainly but I dunno exactly. Just ... something.

Watched six episodes of Alice in Borderland. The 3rd episode went dark, emotional, caught me largely by surprise and mildly depressed me in a way. After that, it's still dark but more in line with what you'd expect from the thriller/horror genre. It's not a humorous show and more affecting at times than I was expecting. Outside of a few obvious CGI moments it all visually looks great - some good camera work/framing. Entertaining in a grim way. Maybe it helps I'm watching at night in a dark room.

I was interested in the crafting of epic loot until I realized the potential special stats on such crafts would be ... random based. I get enough of that from Diablo2, Diablo-likes and Borderlands loot. Yes I'm sure you find as drops or treasure some nice gear (also random stats I think) without having to craft. I'm just saying, as a mechanic, randomized crafting stats is something I'm burnt out on. Edit: possibly because I get too "ocd" and save-scummy re: trying to get what I want - also, hope I didn't say that before. I'm starting to lose track of what I've said where. ...btw, I haven't ever actually tried, because I largely was using the bat and hardly used any ammo, but can you craft more ammo and thus carry more than the seeming limit? Not necessarily have more available in reload-stack, per se, but at least have it on you so when one "box" runs out, it'll use the next one? Because it seemed if my ammo is full, when I picked up ammo loot, it would disappear/pick up but nothing was added to inventory.

You always know they're out there. The difference is the 'net makes us more aware of it/shoves it in our face. I did like Rutger Hauer. To me he was the best thing about that movie.
