    I loved my PC. can't afford the upgrades, but it got me 6 years of good use.

    As for consoles, Xbox is the worst thing ever created. It has and always will be PS. I freaking hate the Xbox so much. Mainly for their controllers. PS5 will be fun!

    Interesting take. So I actually like the xbone controllers more than the dualshock. Super subjective here though.
    My pro’s for xbox would be Gamepass is super cool. We got two years free and theirs always good games on there. the one x on our expensive tv looks flat out awesome, streaming to PC works so much better than playstations version

    For Playstation a lot more exclusive titles. The UI isn't a nightmare. Horizon Zero Dawn.

    I was being hyperbole, a bit.

    PC is #1, without question. It's just soooooo expensive to keep up. PS is #2, I just love the controller (which is a deal-breaker for me) and the whole setup of it.

    A fun game you would enjoy on PC Sly is Kerbal Space Program. Sad that the next release got delayed.

    How did you find out about our ultra top secret organization. Has Sly been leaking that info again? Dammit, he's part of security and one of our best at cracking heads.

    I always make it a point to stop by on Thursday afternoons for her fresh-baked and warm chocolate chip cookies and milk. Your mom is definitely the pride of the neighborhood.

    Not sure if you saw, but TakeTwo gave the dev a contract then poached their talent and then backed out of the contract. It is taketwo's IP I guess but the developers kinda got screwed by them. Then they used COVID19 as a "mask" for what they were doing. I believe Kirbel 2 was delayed because of all of it too.

    Oh I saw. Then the devs were notified on LinkedIn or something. It was a weird situation.

    I've got two Samsungs that have been just awesome.

    I just like that one for graphic designs but I don't do enough to justify it. Has some cool features that I haven't seen in other monitors.

    You're not listening to my mom about me, are you? I just want to say that I'm really not totally useless.
    Oh, I suppose she had grandma, my priest and my shrink to back her up. All four of them totally phony.

    This brought back memories.

    RA2 was the first game I remember being able to play in the internets over dial up, lol.

    At one time I was ranked 3rd in the world but the numbers 1 and 2 would never play me. Bastards!

    Depends. I think many mac book pro’s dont have a discrete gpu so you may not have a video card at all.
    I used to play Red Alert 2 and Command and Conquer.
    Was more a warcraft 1/2/3 player though. Wow that was a long time ago lol
