Many happy returns! Enjoy your long weekend.

🤣

I didn’t know Gene had Alzheimer’s . This is a terrible tragedy.

Ness!

PS you look fab.

This.

Exactly this! Short transitions. Perfect. That’s it.

Gaming shouldn’t be about 100 hour forced game play. It should be about wanting a sense to finish it, enjoying it, wanting perhaps a sequel.

For sandbox, it should be refining the experience, play testing and bug fixing first. Visuals later. Get the build spot on and take it from there.

PS5 and Series X just feel empty. Rehashed games, nothing that jumps out and says - this is a system seller. Many first party exclusives no longer remaining exclusive.
Huge game downloads which don’t work for my time on the TV and yes, most are buggy for huge costs.

Games just felt rehashed, buggy and lack something. Fun I think…

Gran Turismo, SSX, MGS2, ZOE on PS2, Halo, Fable on XB, Rogue Squadron on GC.

They pushed those systems,were a massive leap over prev gen and either upped the genre or provided something fresh. Played all of them for countless hrs

Not had carrot cake in an age!

I recall when digital was about to launch and there was the whole - prices will be lower due to no transport/pressing. That never happened.

Rarely do you see a Nintendo game on discount.

With physical media gasping its last breaths on consoles it will only get worse.

When in need of a funnel….make one.

You too Karly

It was so like that! I admit I fall in to the stereotypical parent. Where you going, when will you be back….

Snap! Good man 😎😁

Nooo!

I feel like I’ve slipped in to an alternate reality.

Past few weeks assembled a 3D printer. Left (the product), middle the finished article and right - where it all began.

Every nut and bolt assembled which took 7 days for me to achieve. How it actually printed anything with my DIY skills is beyond me!

Stellar outcome though!

It’s an odd one - I’ve had my runs in. As you know and more than once.

Take it in your stride bud.

So in an era of Roblox, Series X and PS5, it shows that ‘Retro’ isn’t actually retro but rather simply, gaming. Kids love the Dreamcast. Which is good, as so do I.

Sadly have nowhere (yet) to set the CRT up full time - will require a new desk. I haven’t found the right desk yet :(

Sounds one messed up person!

First PC I bought was a 486 33Mhz.

Incredible tech for the day. When I upgraded to a DX2-66 - it was generational leap in performance.
