I’ve seen ones modded into a laptop form factor. Does that not count?

I just wish the cap on the stick lasted longer. That rubber dome wore down very fast for me on both of mine.

Just stick 'em in one of those paint shakers they have in hardware stores.

What doesn’t say anything, he’s on second.

It was pretty quick, just 639 to 642. The western half of the Roman Empire had already collapsed and the eastern half wasn’t doing much better.

People have argued nobody would buy AAA if it’s not an open world with XP, skills and crafting.

See, I hate crafting systems. A game advertising its crafting system makes me less interested. Too many things to remember and the game grinds to a halt for several minutes while I navigate menus. Dragon Age Inquisition was particularly bad with entire sessions lost to inventory management. The Horizon games are bearable just because I can generate pointers to the stuff I need and I’m generally swimming in components anyway.

It is now, but it wasn’t until the Columbian Exchange. Eggplant is the only edible nightshade variety from the eastern continents, the rest being native to South and Central America.

I’m the opposite. I prefer the fem VA, but I like Panam just a bit more than Judy.

Also, depending on your definition of ‘old,’ that laugh track might be a live studio audience rather than canned laughter.

Unless it’s a 24 hour clock.

I want Villeneuve to adapt God Emperor just to have the slight possibility of McAvoy reprising his role as Leto.

Nobody ever gave the Atreides and Harkonen their book colors, either. But I’d say the 1984 Feyd-Rautha has red hair.

Looking at release dates, just a couple days before Bookworm came out. I’ll have to try that one.

I really wish they would release a new Steam Controller with the Deck’s inputs.

Yes, but it’s significantly less automatic. Testing distros on an old laptop, Debian wouldn’t support the network card out of the box and I had to use USB tethering from my phone to get the necessary drivers off the internet. Ubuntu just had them in the image and installed them automatically.

The pro upped the storage to 2TB, but I really feel like when the PS5 launched we were at the point where they should have shipped with 4TB drives.

If there is a commercial failure of an IP, there is a good chance that its failure will be seen as the IP generally failing or falling out of poluarity instead of the failure to best utilize the IP that likely occurred.

For example, when EA released Tiberian Twilight and it was absolutely awful and didn’t sell, they said that people just didn’t want RTS games anymore and shelved the entire C&C franchise. That was fourteen years ago and we haven’t had a new C&C since then that wasn’t mobile shovelware.

I used a Steam Controller for the N64 stuff. The right pad worked great for the C buttons.

I had one of those. Loved it, but the sticks didn’t last long enough to justify buying another.

That was a problem I actually had when I had no budget, was buying old parts, and then running them way longer than they were intended. I kept everything clean, the tower wasn’t on the carpet, and there were no smokers or pets shedding fur, but that PSU eventually started outputting significantly lower than it was rated for. The previous owner could have done something to it, or it could have been a crappy model to begin with, but it was about fifteen years old and I was told by several more veteran computer folks that PSUs would drop off in power output eventually and this wasn’t surprising.
