Oh good I still haven’t upgraded from the last generation. I may just skip this one at this point, the only games I feel like I’m missing out on are the new Spider-Man and the unreleased GTA VI

It’s time for a new console generation already?

Sweet I get to downvote you again. What else you got?

I’m going to downvote you because you sound like a jerk off.

Like that explanation?

You must be younger than me. I grew up in the 90s and the Sega/Nintendo rivalry was intense.

I think it was the SNES/Genesis era when “who has the better graphics” started to matter.

At the time, I was actually of the opinion that the N64 was a step down from the SNES. Sure the graphics were 3D, but they looked like shit even then. Nintendo really fucked up by sticking with cartridges that generation.

I’m with ya. When it’s gaming time, I just want it to work. I don’t want to be fiddling with settings constantly.

That being said, I do prefer RPGs and RTSs much more with a keyboard and mouse, so I’ll usually play those on my computer, but that’s not such a problem any more with keyboard and mouse being supported by consoles.

Nah, it was Coleco/Atari - Coleco lost

Then Nintendo/Atari - Atari lost

Then Sega/Nintendo

Then Sega/Nintendo/Sony - Sega lost

Then Nintendo/Sony/Microsoft - Nintendo lost, but pivoted to play a different game.

Then you can throw things in there like 3DO and Jaguar Turbo FX, but they didn’t do so got to be considered contenders in the “war”

Time for single payer post-secondary then I guess.

What is this and how does it work?

I didn’t need to get completely sober (I smoke pot still and have the occasional drink; I had issues with much harder drugs and as they say, “recovery looks different for everyone!”

Anyway, this is so true. It’s like… what did I used to like doing before I started getting fucked up all the time?

Well, I got back in to an online game I hadn’t played in 24 years (and didn't know was still going!), I’m big in to riding my bicycle, reading comics, almost like being a kid again.

The grownup hobby I’m still doing is maintaining and riding my motorcycle around. However, I do it by myself now because all my old riding buddies were definitely not clean. Also, riding motorcycles is an excellent exercise in mindfulness.

I had to cut a lot of people out of my life. I’m still very lonely sometimes, but keeping busy with these things is so helpful. I’m also trying my hand at DMing a D&D campaign with a bunch of sober people, so that will help. We’re due to start next week. :)

I went back to school and am 5 years since I last did my problem-drug and 3 years in to a new career that is…. going. 😆

Probably by taking down the companies doing it rather than the people using them. Just set up an account and ask around for where to buy some likes.
