It wasn’t an idea that I thought was fun or could change the world

You’d be better off getting an Anbernic for that.

Oh I will be choosing very carefully.

I just grabbed a queen and took out a ton of pieces unopposed.

I think it’s that I don’t know the groupings or most of the names of the games.

Could someone post the decoder ring for the abbreviations for us uninitiated?

This is absolutely the case. Say what you will about China but at least it’s not totally random in its decision making, self destructive, and openly hostile (it does that in secret). On all counts it’s a better partner than the USA right now.

Yeah I’ve spent considerably more time on BG3 than any other game I’ve played on this console generation, but still haven’t finished it. I could have gone for something shorter, but it’s kinda nice to come back to it every few months and put a few more hours in.

We can at least agree on Spider Man and TW3 ;-).

Far cry 3 did have memorable characters but IMHO BOTW is a vastly more enjoyable game to play. The difference in gameplay is massive to me. I never finished Far Cry 3 as it was tedius to play, whereas I happily finished BOTW enjoying every minute.

I loved BOTW and in any year without BG3 as competition, I would totally accept it as GOTY. But BG3 is just totally on another level.

IMHO BG3 completely destroyed the curve. Even if you don’t like the genre, you have to tip your hat to what was accomplished in that game. It blew away Skyrim, Fallout 3, and all the classics in the genre and completely set a new level. The last time I was that impressed with a game was probably Ultima IV.

There’s a lot of programming you can do with zero or very basic math skills. But some stuff can require a lot. But I’m quite sure you could manage a career very nicely without ever touching those areas. People who do that are probably seeking those things out.

I’m 50 and really don’t watch movies almost at all any more. They tend to be so formulaic and too long to watch at home at night. If I’m going to watch something it will likely be episodic tv series. I do still play video games on the regular though.

I used Borland Turbo Pascal and C++ all through school and I have to agree, these were the most intuitive and efficient IDE’s I’ve used.

I can’t imagine who would ever pay $700 to upgrade from a ps5 for this.

If nothing else it enforces readable code which I think is a good thing.

So another instance then?

That’s why there’s a downvote button

Because everything sucks now.
