Thier last game (released over three years ago) is still in Early Access and they already got thier pay day. This is why I hate modern gaming. Gamers can't help but pre-maturely ejaculate over some new thing, so devs are able to keep shoveling eternal Early Access games. I vote with my wallet and don't buy EA games, but my game group still does. I miss out on a lot of gaming sessions because of it.

Personally I think gaming companies should not be allowed to charge for Early Access and basically just go back to free betas for testing. Or if they do have an Early Access, they should be forced to have a published release date or automatic refund if they miss. That will prevent devs from releasing half baked content and coasting on it for years.

They can still provide content and fixes via standard updates.

I wasn't going to respond, but then I read the article and not just the headline and your goading appears to actually be the crux of the issue. The whole thing is a about how the EPA is worried the cases will make it to the Trump appointed conservative Supreme Court who will likely limit and undercut them further.

...no, actual release.

I have just moved to mpv from mx player due to this comment. Thanks!

PSU is different than UPS. PSU is the Power Supply Unit and doesn't have a battery. UPS are Uninterruptable Power Supplies and do have batteries. Seasonic only makes PSU's.

It's for the lock pick mini game.

The fellas and I have a gaming weekend once a year. Someone always has Jeppson's on hand for punishment. Last year you could earn points for drawings every few hours and drinking a FULL shot of Jeppson's would always get you a bonus entry. The bottle never emptied after 3 days of 20+ lads, it's that bad.

If you want to get them something low level cheap, AMD small form factor pcs with integrated Radeon can be had for cheap (easily under $200 if you are patient). One of my kid plays on one of these and with a few performance mods on minecraft does 30fps just fine.

This one. Completely forgot about it in my other post. Only 4 player though but TONS of fun. My gaggle of girls had tons of fun with this one.

Not constructive dude. Roblox is a bit of a cesspool, so completely understandable he wouldn't want his kids to play. I remeber one of my kids watching what is normally a wholesome youtube streamer playing roblox and someone else came on and was like "I'm gonna show you my penis". Roblox streams banned then an there. And you know what, my kids were slightly upset but since they were equally shocked as well after our convo they understood why. We had a talk about why roblox is different than minecraft in that respect and that was it. I still allow my kids to play "violent and bloody" games if they like because they are able to focus past that aspect. If they couldn't, it might be a different conversation. And it would be just thst, a conversation not an ultimatum.

Minecraft is definitely fun. I have a whole lab setup for my kids and neighbors to play minecraft and they are using Java version with curse forge so they can make endless modpacks. I think you mentioned xbox, so bedrock is definitely an option as well, but it won't have the free flexibility that Java has.

I personally don't think that a little gore is the end of the world, especially if you play with them. My daughter picked up D3 when she was probably 9, but I played with her and the gore just wasn't a focus. Every kid is different though and bunch of boys probably not gonna gloss over that.

One you might consider is Fallout 76. It got a bad rap at launch, but it's a great game and surprisingly has one of the most wholesome gaming communities ever (probably because most of the trolls gave up early on the game when pvp was mostly removed). There are options to turn down blood as well if that's a concern.

Nothing overly crazy but I remeber watching the Matrix in the theater for the first time and being sooo pumped up that my buddy and I went whopping and hollaring through the mostly abandoned mall food court (got out super late). Mall security ended up chasing us down in the parking lot because they thought we had stolen something or were vandals. We had to explain we were just high from a great movie lol.

This is my setup. Caliber-Web is nice because it just points to your Calibre application database. It's more robust than the built in web server and I can set it up to sync with my Kobo over wifi.

It would have to be pretty specific and small to work on a phone and I think a side effect would be everyone's conversations start to sound a lot more homogeneous.

I use Projectivy Launcher, works great for me and is very minimal.

This guy is correct.

Accurate, my 970 lives on!

I wondered what was happening. I got a notice my daughter installed this app (under 13 account) and was like why would she do that. We don't have any HP devices. Brother for life.

Whoa, sounds amazing, I'll have to try it!

Also, freezing and smoothies later is a thing
