I got a different take from this article. The economy doesn’t really play into the fact that games are so big today because you have to make it bigger than the previous one. Same with the console stats. Gotta make it more powerful. But we are at a point where most people can’t see the difference between PS5 and PS4. It’s going to be even less obvious when PS6 arrives.

I agree that it’s time for a hard reset.

Obviously as a kid I thought the Nintendo of the mid90s was the best. But over the years I’ve come to realize just how much of a flop that era was.

Still love my N64 collection though and even to this day finding new gems.

I’ve been playing through Fallout New Vegas for the first time. Got it modded to look modern too so that’s been a really nice touch. New Vegas Reloaded is a bitch to get running but so worth it.

Fallout 3 was my very first Fallout and played it way back when it came out, then proceeded to skip new Vegas and played thru 4 back when that one released.

All this time I was time I was like damn, 3 is my favorite only because of nostalgia and actually ran a quick play thru back in April when all the Fallout hype started because of the TV show.

But I also bought New Vegas finally during this hype and am almost done with my first playthrough and wow I get why it’s considered the best Fallout game.

The RPG elements are perfection, the stories are so interesting and gameplay is challenging but fair. I’m so glad I can now understand all the hype behind this game.

I’m just one of the oddballs. I never played NV until this year and I’ve really enjoyed it and I know objectively it’s a better game. The reason I choose 3 or NV is simply because I have good memories when I was younger playing a gaming genre id never experienced prior.

I never played 76 or the two originals from interplay. Between 3 NV and 4, it’s always hard to top your first. And playing F3 was my first and an experience. I hadn’t played the elder scrolls before this and was just amazed with freedom that these open world RPGs gave you. Yeah so gonna have to go with F3 for the sole reason of nostalgia.

Geezus the story isn’t ass. I know you prefaced with it just being your opinion, but with a charged comment like that’s it’s hard not to want to push back.

I asked my brother this who’s a huge fina fantasy fan and he says it’s the best story wise since 10. 13 is just boring, 15 is so convoluted and bloated. 12 is pretty good but the retread in Ivaice always felt like a cop out. 16 is the most consice FF story wise in years.

Still waiting on Echoes of Wisdom foru switch. But I’ve been diving into Falloit New Vegas in th mean time. I love Fallout games

Yeah it’s a bit of a head scratcher

Cable is dying and they will do whatever it takes to keep it afloat until the last second

They plan to support the switch 1 for ten years so you have a few years still. You also have a huge library of games to check out, so don’t worry so much if a Switch 2 comes out next year.

How about the fact that baby Metroid was so important it still comes up all the way into Metroid 5.

We can only hope

Amygdala too big and cerebrum too small

Damn a kinetic sculpture. I’ve never gotten huge into Lego, just like watching people build on YouTube. But this one I might consider.

Maybe.

Zebra mussels in this list?

This is where my mind went to.

Don’t usually laugh out loud at work looking at my phone. People walking by wish they could be in on the joke.

What’s really interesting is to look at the time scale when each our pets were first domesticated. Dogs domestication happened between 20,000 and 40,000 years ago, while the cat started becoming domesticted only 4000 years ago. Pretty crazy to think how much of a difference their is in the time it took each of them to become adaptive to human society. Makes you wonder what house cats will be like given the time frame dogs have had.
