    Starfield

    Elder Scrolls 6 comes first... in 2026. After that probably a Fallout 5. They'd be nuts not to do an expansion for 4 or 76 when season 2 drops.

    Would you buy a Microsoft SideWinder USB game pad for any reason other than nostalgia?

    Used to love the High Heat Major League Baseball game series. (circa 1998-2003) still in my heart as the best baseball arcade sim for the PC I ever played. I could only play them with a MS Sidewinder Game Pad Pro. IIRC, there was a special config for HH just for that specific game pad. Once...

    Anyone went strictly to SSDs only yet ?

    My gaming rig is all NVMe/SSD and has no 3.5" bays at all. My media rig has 2 NVMe, 1 SSD and 1 3.5" HDD (6TB) The case had only one 3.5" mounting point I now have a stack of int 3.5" HDDs and USB3 HDD cradles. Will need to e-cycle a few next month at hazmat.

    What's your opinion on playing first-person shooters on a controller?

    I honestly tried to convert to controllers when the Steam Link and Steam Controller came out in 2015. And it had accelerometers and a gyroscope. Wasn't trying to replace KB+M or use in online PVP. Just thought it would be nice to play Borderlands or No Mans Sky from the living room couch on a...

    Review the game you finished recently.

    The Expanse: A Telltale Series C+ I'm not a huge fan of Telltale-styled adventure games. I've tried to like them- going back to the Back to the Future in 2010. For every bright point, The Walking Dead or Batman, there's a Game of Thrones, or Star Trek Resurgence. Always with the freakin'...

    Mouses for life?

    I expect a mouse to last me at least five years. I've had some switches crap out after only two. I don't think I'm specifically hard on them, but I do have large hands and kielbasa fingers. So when I find a mouse I like and feel is durable, I buy multiples. One for work, two for home, and...

    The Escapist implodes as entire video team resigns after parent company Gamurs Group fired editor-in-chief Nick Calandra

    Yeah, but ZPs reviews don't list a game shortcomings, but a list of game tropes, cliches and mechanics that piss off Yahtzee. Which is funnyAF. https://youtu.be/2zqY4d_-VNY?si=emM88P0s6RE26Ph7

    The Escapist implodes as entire video team resigns after parent company Gamurs Group fired editor-in-chief Nick Calandra

    I'm a year younger, and am firmly in GenX and clutch on to my LaserDisc players with my dying breath. And I used to follow Zero Punctuation. More entertaining than informative as game reviews. But I agreed with Yahtzee more time than I didn't.

    What Mouse and Keyboard Are You Using Right Now?

    I've moved on from the Model M (at home). Think I just got sick of the missing keycaps and didn't want to spend $50 on a new set. (still have a M at work) Now on a Daskeyboard 4 Professional. (MX Blues) No lights at all. The action is quite tight.

    Anyone here collect classic/vintage PC games?

    Would like to start displaying some of my older PC game boxes from the 1990s. I've found lots of places that make acrylic display boxes for console games, but none that do the custom sizing that PC game boxes need. Any ideas?

    Starfield

    Physical activity is the best anti-depressant. Once went jobless for 10 months, was walking 6 mi a day. Kept me out of the unhappy despairing place.

    Starfield

    You know the ideal situation is that Starfield will be as buggy at launch as No Man's Sky was. And will be fixed in time just like No Man's Sky was. Endless rage and joy postings for 18-24 months.

    What Mouse and Keyboard Are You Using Right Now?

    Condolences on your loss. I use a vintage Model M at work too, and although my cubicle-mates hate it... I can't go without it. BTW, there's an outfit that repairs/cleans/restores these vaunted keyboards. Not sure if they can handle spill damage. I'm on the verge of sending my primary in- but...

    Help me spend $1000 on speakers

    A Consumer Reports write-up led me to BIC America bookshelf speakers in 1992. I'm still using them. Never wanted more or found them lacking. The V52s I picked up in the 90s ($65 each) are still running great and run the 3.1.2 rig in the study. I have the newer DV62s in the main 5.1.2 rig in the...
