  Used it from 2009 until around 2013. It was so much better before it was super huge.

  Still remember setting up lync 2013 for our company. It was one of the funner projects I remember doing. I was not as thrilled about setting up SharePoint 2013…

  Be sure to check what’s under the panel underneath the N64. Sometimes, you can find some extra cash.

  New franchise needs to build a following first. The lower price point will get more people to try it. I’m sold already, but there’s a ton of people who have no idea what this game is still and won’t until it releases. I hope it’s as good as it looks, and I hope it succeeds and leads to more.

  That’s exactly what I have for my PC. I finally made one last fall when prices cane down. I love that controller.

  For the PS5 I don’t think there are many options either, and I like the controller a lot, it’s just that they cheaped out on parts and that pisses me off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Praystation 5⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not what anyone wants because it offers little more over the base console. Doesn’t mean the base system wasn’t great. I love it, and it was an amazing buy when covid happened and I couldn’t buy PC parts to make my own and even if i could the GPU prices were insane. The only complaint I can make is the controller breaks every year due to stick drift… I have been gaming since the 90s and it’s the first time I have ever seen this issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Man-in-the-Middle PCB Unlocks HP Ink Cartridges⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had the same HP printer since around 2016? Don’t use it much, but it comes in handy when it’s needed. First time I ran out of ink I shopped around for the best deal and ended up with some other ink brand. Dumb me decided to update the printer when I got the ink. Boom it denied me the ability to use it now… it took me a few hours of trying to find exactly how to downgrade the firmware back to a previous version so I can use the dam ink I brought! I was thrilled when that worked. I then set it’s IP to static and removed the gateway. Now, no matter what it can’t reach home and know it needs an update at all. I almost can’t wait till the day this stops working so I can invest my money into whatever few brands that don’t screw you.

  I really went and started looking up the hard letters thinking what you could have played if it was this letter. I quickly realized even the harder letters all have at least 2 big game series belonging to them, so it’s not very hard. Even when looking at Y, you also have the Yakuza series.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony announces the PS5 Pro with a larger GPU, advanced ray tracing, and AI upscaling⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It did when the ps5 first came out. $500 for it was a steal back then. I wanted to build a PC at the time but due to the crazy GPU prices and low stock for other parts I decided it was best to wait. Got a ps5 instead (was also hard to get as well) and thought it was absolutely worth the price for the experience it offered. Just built the pc I wanted last fall shortly after prices started dropping. First time ever I made a good choice.

  That’s me this month… officially running out of money and all avenues of emergency funds. I realized it yesterday and still processing what my next move is to survive. Both my wife and myself have decent jobs but just can’t make ends meet anymore. Final nail is kids daycare expenses. man, do I seriously wish this was over with and we would be ok… idk how people do this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Astro Bot | Review Thread (95 OpenCritic)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The free one was the first game my kid was able to pick up and learn how to play games on. He was 4 at the time, and it was such a simple game that he was able to figure out the controls enough to play. He is almost 8 now and told him this was coming last week, and he was super excited. As much as I wanted him to enjoy video games, he really doesn’t play or care about too many, so it will be cool to see him enjoy it

  Oh crap… you bring up a good point. How long do we think Gave has left? There is absolutely no way Steam won’t get worse after that happens. Enjoy it while it lasts, I guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung TVs will get 7 years of updates, starting with 2023 models⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I did this as well. Been buying Samsung since 2006 and finally said let’s get a high end one around 2017… it was incredible, for like 4 months, then it started having some issues with lines appearing on and off. It was so quick at first I didn’t think to take action (also in denial). By the time it was bad it was like a year later and the warranty was over. I haven’t needed a tv in years since I’m living with it, but the next one will no longer be a samsung.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung TVs will get 7 years of updates, starting with 2023 models⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nobody is saying the TV won’t work just because updates stop. Although I really haven’t seen an LED or LCD look to good after 10 years, either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you prefer to buy games on Steam or GOG?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m only commenting on the Steam refund part. That’s crazy to me, of all places to return games. The most relaxed has been Steam and never had any issues with them. Even if waiting a month, they normally only care how long you played it, which I think is supposed to be less than 2 hours. For comparison, I tried returning a PS5 game and was immediately denied because they claim as soon as the game is launched once they will not accept it back, which is awful.

  That sucks they denied you. It really sounds like they should have let you return it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disney has “earned” latest streaming price hike, CFO says⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I stumbled on it by accident so I am not sure if it will be great, but it offered enough stuff that she wanted (I could care less about live tv!) That were going to give it a try. It’s called frndly tv and looks like it’s $10 a month or $8 if you pay for the year. It has a week trial so I guess we’ll see if it’s decent. The other one we saw was Philo but I think that was $25 and offered more channels but nothing more that we wanted that the first option didn’t have. Neither offer local channels which is why we’re also getting Peacock as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disney has “earned” latest streaming price hike, CFO says⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, bring the features… I think in the 4 years of being with Hulu they only had 1 redesign but still no new features and definitely never fixed any of the bugs that have been here forever. I really wanted to see some improvements to more 4k content and feature some of the live tv broadcasts in 4k but nope.

  I finally canceled the over priced live tv and today’s the last day before it’s gone. $85 bucks a month is just not worth it. Found another service that offers a lot of channels for $8 a month and my wife only wants 1 local station so $7 for that. Knocking $85 down to $15 is a big win. I don’t think I will be the only one if they really think they can raise prices like that. Glad I’m done with them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft Auto SR Tested: AI Upscaling For Every Game... But How Good Is It?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was so excited when I got my AMD card last fall, which was my first PC upgrade since 2016. FSR 3.0 was about to come out. Then it dropped, and I realized only a handful of games I didn’t care to play supported it. Almost a year later, I still don’t think I have played anything that uses it. The newer ones look great, but I guess it’s going to be years before it’s well adopted.

  That’s kind of cool. Although with the turn over rate of how long most people stay at jobs these days I am shocked not more people have the jaded mentality of “why should I do this if I’ll never benefit from it myself”. Pretty cool that everyone just does the better thing for others.

  The bigger shocker to me is that the platform still exists at all… didn’t the largest advertisers pull out? I thought it was hemeraging money. I keep waiting for them to pull the plug on it, or at least sell it at a huge discounted price.
