Thabk you! It was Frontline! I just went and looked. I guess I never played the original.

Wasn’t this the one that started with D day and storming the beach? I remember being blown away by how good it looked, which I’m sure would not be the case today!

They probably mean 30 min worth of prep. The oven part is hands off and whatever to them.
- Comment on You might want to hose it off when you are done 5 days ago:
It’s to spray your neighbor when he decides to pick the urinal right next to yours when there were 3 others not next to you. Then it just turns into a silly water fight, and everyone has a blast.
- Comment on Prices are out of control 1 week ago:
Weird, I just had to do this with $65 and ended up getting it to $62 as the total. For a family of 4 for 4 days. It was hard and not the best options, but it worked.
- Comment on Gears of War: Reloaded announced, coming this summer to PC, Xbox, and PlayStation 1 week ago:
Never played the gears games except for the last one a little because I had gamepass and a PC. It was ok, but it just felt like a room after room of bullet sponge enemies, which got old fast. It will be very weird playing gears on a ps5, probably a lot like when Sonic dropped on Nintendo for the first time.

Probably nothing. Most likely, a paid consultant to give ideas. And if it was a worker, they were just doing their job and at most got a “great job, keep up the good work,” praise email.
- Comment on Half Life 3 1 week ago:
That’s not entirely true. I believe there are several people who made mods to make it playable without VR.
I will play it someday, and this will most likely be the way.

Just in time to release on old hardware, then resell it again for next gen consoles coming that fall.
- Comment on Next gen PS and Xbox consoles scheduled for 2027, tipped by cancelled Blade Runner game 2 weeks ago:
Yes, it improved on every aspect of the ps4. Load times were non-existent, graphics upgrade was good enough, the exclusives were always great. I like a dedicated box for gaming, not that I don’t play pc games as well, it’s just easier to pick up and go on a console especiallywith rest mode…
I got it a few months after it released, which is how long it took to find one, and at the time i was deciding between building a new PC or getting a PS5 and at the time the PS5 was way cheaper due to GPUs being ridiculously priced. I thought it was a great price for what you got and it’s a solid system. I use it on average once every other day and has given me no issues.
It was a solid console in every aspect to me. My one complaint is as much as I like the controllers they suffer from stick drift and I have gone through 4 controllers so far. Same goes for every one of my friends so it’s awful.
- Comment on Next gen PS and Xbox consoles scheduled for 2027, tipped by cancelled Blade Runner game 2 weeks ago:
I know it tracks with the release of other consoles, but wow, did this one go fast… I feel like it’s barely been out, but over 6 years have passed and it will be 7 when it releases. I honestly have no idea how they can even improve much from what currently exists anyway. Almost everything I wanted was addressed in the PS5. Guess we’ll see.

Good thing we cut everything to avoid this. Oh, wait.
- Comment on 'Stories are our bread and butter': Larian is building a special team to lay out the plot of its games years in advance 2 weeks ago:
I also can’t wait to play Oblivion remastered as well. I just couldn’t see picking up yet another remake/remaster over something original first. I figured the small team could benefit way more from as many sales as they could, plus I just wanted something new, haha. Can’t wait though, I haven’t played it since like 2007.

You are in for a treat if you enjoy RPGs with modern takes on an old system. I have been playing games for over 30 years and lately haven’t had the funds to buy much of anything in the past year, but I made an exception for this and it thankfully was a good as I was hoping it would be. Holding my interest is getting harder as well, but thankfully, due to this game and a few others, I am starting to realize it’s most likely because I crave something different and unique sometimes.
- Comment on More Americans are financing groceries with buy now, pay later loans — and more are paying those bills late, survey says 2 weeks ago:
I have used it a bunch over the years because I hate talking to people, but I never use delivery so I think it’s only a few extra dollars over calling it in in average, plus some places do offer “discounts” and Amazon prime allows grubhub premium for no charge which removes more fees and gives you credit for pickup orders. The discounts aren’t much but can bring it down to what it costs by phone and sometimes a little more. I used to throw a few bucks for tip, but i have decided not to do that anymore because I pickup and it’s mostly from pizza places which I wouldn’t tip if I call it in so why should I this way.
Of course, these days, I barely get takeout or go out anymore because, like the article talks about, money is too tight to reward yourself anymore…

But at the very least we can see that the same developers who worked at Ubisoft are better than they are allowed to be. Clair Obscur Expedition 33 deserves the same love that this got and features mostly Ubisoft employees (only 30 people in total) and shows the company truly hinders how good a game can be.
- Comment on Does Bravely Default 2 Suck? 2 weeks ago:
I enjoyed the 2nd, but most of the things were very cookie-cutter generic. I liked that style to an extent, but it just becomes very predictable and after a while and I wanted to just finish it by the end. Decent enough story I guess and could have been worse. Fighting was probably its best part.

I read all the pics here, and this person sounds nuts. I had never heard of him before and kind of sad that I do now.

It’s almost a shame that they decided to go with wide instead of tall.

- Comment on Synology Lost the Plot with Hard Drive Locking Move - ServeTheHome 3 weeks ago:
Hey, that’s not entirely true! Our place brought them in because it was also a cheap solution! Honestly, it has done fine for our storage solution, which is mostly backups related. Then again, we came from Baracuda, which was super expensive, super locked down, and did break a lot.
- Comment on LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions 3 weeks ago:
I will say I had 1 time i needed it. It was my Samsung Odessey monitor. It supports freesync but I noticed when it was on there would be a slight flicker. Dealt with it for probably 2 years before looking into it. Low and behold online comments all said firmware fixed it. It worked, fixed it and now it’s been fantastic ever since. One of the only times an update on a screen did something amazing. It’s not the norm but the excception.
- Comment on LG TVs’ integrated ads get more personal with tech that analyzes viewer emotions 3 weeks ago:
So we pay them to do this to us? I stopped putting tv’s on the internet once I realized it offered me nothing useful. Firmware is about it and if that’s the case I’ll either usb it or put it on the internet for 5 min to do the update. Even then Samsung sucks so much with firmware the release notes for every single update are “bug fixes and improvements”… thanks Samsung.
If I am forced to put it online or it comes up with a way to phone home on its own, I am done buying those kinds of tv’s, and I’m sure some other brand will offer one that doesn’t, even if it isn’t the best one to buy.

- Comment on Trump pardons crypto exchange for money laundering, possibly preventing them from even being investigated again 4 weeks ago:
From what I’ve seen lately, those are not the people it seems to be helping.
I 100% agree that pardoning has its place, but it’s clearly turned into another instance of abuse.

I normally set these to x1.5 speed to help as well.
- Comment on Found a good video sharing my opinion about Nintendo Switch 2 5 weeks ago:
Thanks for the share. I laughed and agreed with most talking points. I do wish it was shorter, 20 minutes where a lot of the topics are repeated throughout definitely could have been edited down a bit. The funniest part to me is that this may cost US folks $600 when the $450 price was already on the idk if i can justify buying this side.
- Comment on Xbox Games Showcase Followed by The Outer Worlds 2 Direct Airs June 8 5 weeks ago:
I loved the Outer Worlds! Can’t believe it’s been out for that long already. I am excited to see how they expand on the first. My only complaint about the first was it’s size. This one will probably be fully fleshed out more seeing how popular the first was.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con may have the same stick drift problem as original Switch 5 weeks ago:
I used it a few years ago, and it was fine and i didnt have to pay anything. I wish Sony offered this because I’m on my 4th ps5 controller…
If it’s not fixed in the new one, they can screw off… it’s bad enough they got away with it, but to totally redesign everything and still say yes we’ll keep the defective parts going forward is a big no from me.
