  • I always thought the entire point of them releasing this was not to make crazy money, but see how to improve upon what they built by having everyone beta test it for them. They really didn’t have much info on how to make VR successful since none of them are really big. Sure, there’s a market, but they want to know what it will take to get everyone on board not just the enthusiasts. Personally, I think it’s going to take more than just an app to get there.

    It will be interesting to see what big changes they make to the next version since I bet they are willing to change just about everything if they think the data collected proves it’s needed. At that point I feel like version 2 will really be the product I want to see. I’ll never buy or own one of these, and I hate apple products, but it’s interesting to see what they will bring to the table since they obviously are investing a ton of money into this.


  • As much as I want to love rogue light games, I just can’t get into most because I do not enjoy repeating the same thing over and over. It’s especially exhausting when you start doing 30-40 minutes runs and I am just like, nah, there’s no way I’m doing another run once I die. With that said, my favorite by far is also Slay the Spire because a run doesn’t take very long and is lighthearted, so it works perfectly. The other games I enjoyed were Dead Cells, and Children of Morta. Hades was great as well, but you mentioned that.




  • I gave mine up spring of 2016 and never looked back. Surprisingly it didn’t have to do with the election either. I remember talking to a few friends a few months later and they said I got out at the right time since it was the start of the crazies coming out of the woodwork.

    I have no clue how people can be so addicted to stuff like this that they make all the excuses in the world to not go through with it.




  • Hmm, I wonder if this is what me and my kid had a month ago. I didn’t go to the doctor, but my kid was there 3 times since it took over a month before he got better, which was the same time for me. We both couldn’t breathe and lots of flem to cough up. We got tired and felt run down with slight fever only at night. Outside that we were fine, with no sore throat, no clogged ears or nose. Doctors diagnosed him with something different each time, but they felt sure it was walking pneumonia. I’m starting to think it may have been this. I never get nervous, but it lasted so long it started to make me worried…

    I believe the precision series kind of took over. They are high-end models but not really built for gaming. At this point, the XPS wasn’t built for gaming either, so I guess having 2 high-end lines just didn’t make sense?

    Edit: I should have read the article first! I guess all the names are going away. I don’t care for the new names either, but both were pretty bad. The only difference is we got used to what it is now despite how little sense it made.



  • I’m gonna agree! I really hated BK like 10 years ago because of pricing and they took away chicken fries, introduced nuggets that were awful and just generally worse food it seemed. I tried them a bunch last year just to see how they were doing and I gotta say the fries were improved, the chicken fries are back and even the nuggets tasted better now. The burgers were always decent and not much change. Add in the app with the offers and discounts and the pricing is no worse than the rest, sometimes it’s cheaper now.

    Just to make it known, when I say good I’m talking about fast food good not that it’s impressive. If anything it’s just comfort food since we did have this or McDonald’s from time to time growing up. Fridays was the one day were cooking didn’t happen, and if we didn’t get pizza or Chinese, it would probably be this (my father hated it haha).
