I haven’t noticed a huge difference and I’ve been playing it like crazy on both the dock and handheld. Battery wildly depends on the game and performance settings. It’s my primary gaming device and I love to tinker with it but I haven’t noticed a degradation at all.

My parents are close to 65 and completely out of touch. If you turn 65 during your next term you should be ineligible.

Release it on PC then. Enough with the console exclusivity just to bitch that the game isn’t selling well.

I want several of these.

I think it’s the same reason games offer a cash shop for things you can get in-game. Sure they’re making billions but why not billions plus ad revenue? I don’t agree with the practice but the answer always comes back to money.

180% of $0 is still $0. Sorry EA fans.

I too was in middle school when Columbine happened. The next year we weren’t allowed to wear trench coats… In Phoenix…

Sam didn’t spring for the ad-free tier and now has to have his time wasted?

I hopped between distros for a long time. Before writing Linux off I suggest giving MX-Linux a shot. I’ve been loving it. It’s super solid. My only issue with it is that I can’t seem to get the right power settings set for closing my laptop but it’s probably something I’m doing wrong.

Isn’t another word for “super hero Team Fortress” just “Overwatch”?

I will, actually, give you that one. I was more thinking WoW and Overwatch but you’re right, D3 was a mess that they made fun eventually.

I’ve been hearing “but wait, Blizzard fixed it” for over half my life at this point. Never once was it true.

I like the cut of your jib, Tex.

I’m not sure what you’re getting at. I bought every version of every game since the first one and pirated the Japanese versions before they were localized. G rank wasn’t something you had to pay for until the games I mentioned. It was either in the game or it wasn’t. I’m not interested in having an argument though so I’ll just see myself out of this weird pseudo-argument.

Gonna have to pay to skip cutscenes too. And SOS flares aren’t free but aren’t expensive either. Oof, we should be execs somewhere.

I didn’t have to pay for G-rank until Iceborne and Sunbreak. I’d like to go back to those days.

Oh no. We gotta stop giving them ideas.

I’ve been a fan of Monster Hunter since the PSP and somehow completely forgot that it was made by Capcom. I was already a bit peeved that they moved G-rank behind a paywall and a year of waiting but now I’m nervous that you may not be super far off. People already think that the game has a desire senser and with AI being what it is today it wouldn’t be very hard to sell a ‘premium carving knife’ with charges on it to get that Gem or Plate you need to finish your set.

How would you prepare for telecom? I’ve got a background in IT and have been trying to switch to Software Engineering by learning React and TypeScript. Would the skills compare at all?

I’d personally recommend Vancouver then. Lived there in an apartment for a year and it was a nice mix of urban, suburban and rural. Basically drive 15 minutes in any direction and you’re in a new biome. Personally looking to move back there once I get a new job and sell the house.
