Isn’t that Margit’s opening line?

I’m not sure if it’s possible but a mini pro but with good battery life would be the ultimate phone for me personally. I’m basically always on my feet but use my phone a lot so a large battery is important, but I also want a small phone and a good camera. I doubt that’ll happen though.

Yeah that was basically my thought too. I probably do less than a quarter of that on average, but that’s not really the point. I should be allowed as much time as I want. Not that I use a Nvidia subscription anyway, but still. This makes me mad on behalf of other people.

My dad’s a welder, works outside every day. I asked him, he said obviously it depends on the situation but in general he’d take cold and dry. 1-5 degrees and raining is just about worst case scenario for him. We’re Canadian though so we’re used to the cold, maybe if you asked someone from Florida or something they’d have a different answer.

Too hot? just stay indoors between 11 and 3 and you’ll be fine.

Good thing no one works outdoors and every building has A/C.

Yeah that name sounds familiar. If it’s what I’m thinking it is, that was a favourite of mine for a bunch of game modes.

Absolutely. I also loved infection on that one map that’s in the same world as the forge map, it’s like a floating level over water. Can’t remember the name now, it’s been years. Then there’s also a good one that’s all indoors, sort of a fancy human building, maybe corporate or hotel originally, I can’t remember now.

Then Alexandria was awesome, there was a super cheesy spot you could get to there. Oh and then there was an outdoors map with sort of a circular building in the middle of the map, that was great for infection too. Oh and then another indoor one, all grey walls, small outdoor area where you could fall to your death.

Now that I think of it, I think I just loved that game altogether. Damn now I’m nostalgic.

Infection on Zealot has to be one of the best times in Reach PvP. Your Reach posts have made me very nostalgic, but this one might take the cake. Good job.

Touché.

For the bedroom, a baby monitor makes sense. Not sure why you need one connected to the Internet though.

You’ve completely nailed my feelings on it. Online semi-requirement is super annoying, but it’s also one of my absolute favourite games ever made. It’s my second-most played game ever, too.

CE probably has my favourite campaign (both solo and co-op), but for PvP it’s definitely Reach for me. It’s also the one I’ve got the most time in by far.

I didn’t get much into Halo 3 for some reason, I’m not sure why. Aside from the campaign, I mostly just stuck with Halo 2 until Reach came out. I was also getting into CoD a bit between playing 2 and Reach so that also sucked some time out of 3. Then after Reach I got super into Battlefield 4 and that was my main PvP without friends but with friends I still mostly played Reach until my friends moved on from it. Now I almost exclusively play single player games, with the exception of one friend who I’ll sometimes play NHL with.

I have so much nostalgia for Halo Reach. I was just talking to someone else on here about Reach last night actually. I wish I had friends who still played Halo. There’s not much better than Reach with the boys.

Exactly. One of the benefits of patient gaming (shoutout to !patientgamers@sh.itjust.works) is I don’t need top of the line hardware to enjoy my hobby. I’m sure the GabeCube will run multi-year old games very well.

Between working >40 hours a week and raising a kid I only really care if the game I spent 2 hours a week on is going to run and look good enough. If I have to play on high instead of ultra I’m not gonna have a meltdown.

My cousin is an anesthesiologist and enjoys video games. I never put two and two together but it makes sense.

I would be totally cool with running a business like that. I don’t need to be making more and more every year if I have enough money to be comfortable, and I’d feel way better if I was in charge of a company making products that respect their user.

I’ll have to look into that then. Thanks for the info.

I hope someone takes Starfield’s ship building, adds something new and interesting, and releases it as a main feature of a new game. Every now and then I’m tempted to hop back into Starfield just to mess around with that mechanic. Or maybe if Bethesda makes a sequel, but tames it down and listens to fans to make it a really solid game, and brings back the ship building. I’d definitely give it a shot.
