More than triple the next largest game. All I want is the zombies mode and space to install other games, I could probably cull 80% of the COD suite and be just fine, but I have to carry the whole bag to reach in 🤷♂️

I had an Acura with the disc changer in the trunk, I imagine the moving parts right behind the firewall would not fare well for long in heat. You’re right though, the move to burning MP3 CDs felt like you had almost infinite space for all your bands

I haven’t played much since my curved monitor got broken but between Stellaris and Rimworld I don’t know if there’s enough time in a day for another build queue. I’ll check it out at some point and fall into the rabbit hole I’m sure.

Requires an additional 45 clear to accommodate the update file and is currently sitting at 196.5. Deleting Hitman and queuing it up after the update is simple enough technically for someone like me with a wired high speed connection and no data cap, but still a pain in the ass and way too big for a single game.

Agreed, it’s getting out of control. The most annoying thing is I’m not interested in PvP, just zombies, so probably 80% of that is all just bloat on my hard drive.

Thanks I’ll check it out. The gf and I like to shoot zombies but were it not part of PS Plus I surely wouldn’t give them $70. I’ve been playing a lot of Balatro recently, poker roguelike from a sole developer with simple graphics but very fun special powers

Black ops 6 just demanded another 45 GB for an update on my PS5, when the game is already 200 GB. AAA devs are making me look more into small indie games that don’t eat the whole hard drive to spend my money on, great job folks.

Correct, gypsum infused cardboard, usually screwed into 2x4 wood studs. It can support a significant amount of weight if it is distributed evenly which is why we have drywall anchors to add stability, but it will never be as solid as a bolt sunk into a stud, weather and other conditions render it into wet chalk and your tv will swan dive into the carpet at some point

The BMW i series doesn’t ship with blinkers so if you have one don’t worry about it

I learned about VPNs and torrenting thanks to corporations like EA releasing trash with a price tag on it, suppose I’ll start reading up on low voltage security systems so I can build my own, thanks for the tinkering idea fascists 👍

Great Scott! I don’t know how I seemed to forget that, guess it’s been a while since I watched SNW since we’ve been waiting for a new season.

I thought so, suppose I’ll watch it again if there’s something missed.

Hell yes, can’t wait! Doc really needs to get his kid out of that buffer, surely the pattern degrades over time

Adding some coarse salt to heavy cream and dropping in an immersion blender makes a whipped butter that goes well in the coffee and on toast

It’s ok to look back at a painful event and have empathy for that younger person, then you can either stay there or accept any wisdom to be learned and write the next chapter but you can’t live in both places at once.

A danger to fascists presumably, which I’d say is a good thing

I didn’t know about the nail ridges-vitamin deficiency thing until my lady told me recently, makes sense. She got me a case of the ensure plus for extra calories to supplement through the day and it does help. Eat some veggies, get some sunlight, maybe go to a shelter and walk some dogs. Hopefully the physical elevates the mental, I’m in a similar spot and hope you get feeling better internet stranger 👍
- Comment on Anyone? 3 weeks ago:
I think the vitamin deficiency is more likely, I have similar issues. Lived in Phoenix for years and had a water bottle on hand all the time, it’s a part of the bigger picture but not the main driver I’d surmise.

That’s what jeebus folk do, rename and rationalize. Aww shucks (shit), darn (damn), oh gosh (goddamnit), fudge (fuck)
Presumably if you don’t say the actual curse word you and everyone else knows you’re meaning…jeebus will still like you.

Like religion itself, the reaction to the word is completely made up by the person witnessing it. Your experience will vary but gets progressively more aggressive the further south you get where Sherman should have burned all the way to the sea

Being able to host your own game and tweak the rules however you like is a feature that’s sadly lacking from most console games nowadays, Halo 3 was the peak with Forge

That’s how I feel when I watch Star Trek. I won’t be alive to see the Phoenix warp into space but I’m hopeful future generations get there.

Around the time Victoria established Torchwood, but yes I meant the monarchs of Transylvania. Who bestows the title of Count upon him?

Ok but that then begs the question, who are the king/queen?
