Video Games

I've reading up on Rainbow Six: Siege and I'm hankering for a system now. Not willing to drop $300+ on one though (I'm happy with PS4, could care less about the latest systems at the moment)

Saw a YT video of a guy converting an older Dell Optiplex PC he got for like 20 bucks (with no HDD) into a media center/retro gaming rig booting some Linux distro from a USB stick. No interest in having it but it seems like a fun mini project to set up.

Anybody play around with the Oculus Quest 2? I don’t really like the Facebook integration but I’ve been seeing promising reviews.

I wouldn't give Facebook a red cent.

I was wondering if it was possible to create a spoof acct just for the Oculus but they probably have some mechanism to verify, right?

It is tempting...

But it can't play Half Life:Alyx without the PC link and I doubt my PC is good enough at this point.

I have Diablo on PS4, don't really play computer games much, it is amazing to me the following of this game since it came out a long time ago originally, I know I invested a lot of online hours with friends playing it

Never liked the Diablo series. But Lilith is hot as hell in the new trailer.

Just bought the Dolby Atmos plugin for my headset and tried out Senua's Sacrifice. It's freaking me out heheh

I'm actually thinking of doing a Diablo 1 playthrough soon.

I'm sure it will feel antiquated and all of that, but I was too young when it came out. Spent a TON of time playing D2 though...

Watched this recently and it was super interesting how Diablo came to be (it was ALMOST a turn-based game!!!):

Also, this whole Ars Technica War Stories series seems pretty interesting. I found the Diablo one after seeing this one about how they tortured and abused the PS1 in order to make Crash Bandicoot work:

Senuas looks good. I was reading they did a lot of research into true psychosis and how it feels when making it. I havent worked up the balls to play it.

I played it for about 10 minutes then put it down a while back. Now with the 3d sound plugin for my headphones, my desire to play it through just shot up. IMO you definitely need Atmos and a headset to play this one.

I've been getting a kick out of Ring Fit Adventure on the switch.

Little simple RPG-lite game, except you control your character by exercising. That little plastic ring can actually be pretty strenuous...its a nice way to get in a little extra movement when stuck at home 24/7.

Only thing I don't like is that Nintendo made it physical-cartridge-only. I only buy physical copies of major games since Nintendo stuff holds resale value and I'm not some collector who will keep them forever...but Ring Fit is a game meant to be played in short bursts.

Kind of annoying to have to switch cartridges every time you want to play Ring Fit for 20 minutes. They made it physical-only because you already had to buy specialized controller hardware...but it was a real missed opportunity to have a digital option...

I like to play The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds game because this is an amazing game! the story was a bit lacking however when you beat the final boss, the cut scene become a tear jerker. the sounds are lovely, and I like they stored a few music and sounds from Link To The Past! when you have a 3DS I advise you get this game.

I got Dragon Quest 11 on Gamespass and it's pretty good. I normally don't go for jrpgs but I really enjoyed the first Dragon Quest game on NES as a kid so I got myself hooked on this new one.
