If you're including the parry ones, then preach on.

Ain't nobody got time for that.  Button mashing as fast as I can has gotten me through the first couple of parry levels.  I hope I can just keep doing that and don't have to actually get good at parrying

Great, I'll need to take a break from monster hunting to relive my college years. Surprised nobody is talking about MHR really but maybe it's because everyone already played it a year ago. Fun game but I already know once I hit those elite HR's it will become the grind game again. Either way, having a blast with it for now having just hit HR5.

I've been debating giving that one a look.  I never got around to playing it on the Switch or PC, so it might be fun for this weekend.  

I downloaded, played for a few hours, and deleted it.  Hated my experience with it.  Obviously I'm not in the majority with that opinion, but it just isn't for me.  Neither is Persona.  Maybe it's the cutesy Japanese(?) theme.  I don't mean that in any derogatory manner whatsoever.

For someone who has never played a Persona game, Can I just jump into 4?  I'm assuming it has some upgrades over 3.  And yeah... I don't think I want to play Fallen Order anymore

Dang.  Got laid off this morning from that company with the big smile.  Kind of in disbelief.  I want to take the next few days to just relax before I hit the ground running for another position.  Got roughly 5 months severance, so it could be a lot worse.  I guess I'll have more time for gaming

Halo

So... I've been putting off playing Fallen Order for a very long time.  Started today, and this game is beautiful on the series X

Finally.  After starting 7.5 years ago... finished The Witcher 3.  My last time playing before the latest patch came out was in '17.  I never went back because I felt like it was too complex to just hop in and I'd need to start all over.  Realized I was about 2/3 of the way through, and decided to power through once the update came out.

I can't say I've had another experience like this in my gaming life.  The only thing I didn't do was cry, but I don't do that except for sports.  I finally committed to a gear set and build instead of trying a little of everything, and stopped worrying about "good endings".  Instead handling each situation as I would in my life... this changed my entire experience.  I was at lvl 16 last I put the controller down, to finish up at I believe lvl 36.  Gonna give it a short rest before getting into the DLC, and I'm really hoping it holds up to the original story.

Geez... 12 hours played

Just here to say this is what Clemson could have been …if Dabo hadn’t been such an idiot sticking with DJ all season! DJ!

I'm pissed at USC right now.  You can tell they don't even do tackling drills in practice.  It's all offense all practice long.

First to quote gets a 4k copy of Lightyear.

Also, if anyone has a Verizon code they aren't going to use, I'd appreciate it.  Not asking for a trade, to be clear

A tip I can share with Elite controllers is the Scuff branded paddles.  They're short and IMO feel more natural, for my big grip at least.

https://www.amazon.c...,aps,211&sr=8-1

They go for $20, as do the thumbsticks.  I haven't tried those yet, but have them on the way.  You can potentially get a new set of paddles and sticks for $40, which is cheaper than the kit for the core controller

I know it’s old news for most, but I finally tried cloud streaming while on vacation. Weird West plays great with an Xbox controller and my iPad. This is so cool.

Now if only they’d put the rewards app on cloud so I could keep my streak.

Yup... Cloud Gaming is absolutely amazing.  It has made my Switch pretty much obsolete.  

^^^^  Speaking of Plus, I'm not seeing a 25% discount.  I see prorated (about $4) to upgrade my basic and then full price for the re-up.  Is that correct?

Also, are all of the same games available in the plus and premium tiers?  I don't need to stream.

Last question... how often do the first party PS5 games get added?  It seems most of what's available is also on Gamepass.

edit:  Sorry for the lazy post... after some digging on the web I found all my answers.  The PS Library alone is enough for the discounted membership.  Easily worth that price a year to play exclusives

I ended up upgrading for the remainder of my essential membership four about $4, and then I had the option to add discounted extra for a year for $75

We could talk about those Gamecocks. I was rooting for them to beat Tennessee. But now I’m scared for Clemson next week!

That should be good, but I think Clemson wins it.  I'm sitting here sweating watching the battle of LA

Did you hear about the constipated mathematician? He worked it out with a pencil.

Who won the footrace in Bangkok? It was a Thai.

How does a robot handle sex? He screws, nuts and bolts.

I ate a kid's meal. His mom was furious. 

How does the Non-Binary Samurai kill their opponents?  They / Them

These are brutal lol.

What do you call a bad Italian neighborhood?  A Spaghetto

What do you call a bunch of slaves who don't want to work?  N.W.A. 

It is kind of boring though when nothing can touch you and you're just sitting there waiting out the clock

That last 45 or so seconds is a beast.  Was tanking everything and then died on Dairy Plant at about 29:34

Booted up to play MWII... ended up playing Vampire Survivors lol.  Got my first 30 minute run

edit: speaking of, I noticed lots of voice chatter while playing MWII.  Is chat not exclusive to parties anymore?  I think that's great
