Buddy just bought me Satisfactory so I'll be binging that most of the weekend.
Fack'n Days Gone kid.
Have you played factorio? I love Factorio so I want to give Satisfactory a shot.
what is this in reference too?
Replaying Arkham Knight for the third time. Still fun and wished they'd make another.
I tried to replay Arkham Asylum and City again the other day, but after 15min, all I wanted to do was play Mad Max again.![]()

Arcade games. Lot's and lot's of arcade games. I've finally built up a dedicated machine for my arcade game collection, with a dual-stick setup, wall mounted display, that can be played standing or sitting. I spent a bunch of time getting all the settings configured just right as well. The unfortunate part is that the wall mount doesn't allow me to turn the monitor to portrait orientation, so I need to pick up a new one. I didn't really think about it at the time, but I'd much prefer that for vertical games. In the meantime it's doing ok anyway though. Actually, now that I think about it, maybe a dual monitor setup on the wall would be even better. One in each orientation. Vertical games on one, horizontal on the other.![]()
Replying to myself for context. Here's the current setup. I got a mount that swivels, so I can play vertically. I can't stand black borders, so for now I'm letting the screen stretch, but it's not so bad. Not nearly as bad as having borders. I bought Launchbox Premium, and downloaded all the metadata, images, videos, etc. to accompany all of the games. I set up filters to ditch the thousands of Mahjong games that I don't play.
The only thing left to do now is proper cable management, and possibly move to a MiniITX system. I'm just plugged into a mid-tower running a Ryzen 2400G APU, which I'm actually very impressed with so far. It even runs most of the PC games I have on there decently well (for an APU at least).I may just move the APU onto a Vesa-mount style ITX box, and mount it out of sight. The display cables are driving me nuts.
I'm actually thinking I could squeeze the ITX setup inside the dual-stick enclosure (with some additional ventilation) which would REALLY simplify things. I'm running it all off solid state storage, so it can take a decent beating if it's inside the stick setup.
I'm doing a simulated CRT with Aperture Grill for the graphics, and it's absolutely gorgeous, especially when vertically oriented with some crazy shooters. Looks VERY authentic. The next item I'd like to get is a flight setup for playing things like Thunderblade, Metal Hawk, Assault, Afterburner/GLOC, Galaxy Force II etc. I did manage to get a good digital stick setup going for Air Combat that felt decent, and played that for a couple of hours the other night. I still think a good analog flight setup would be better though.
Starting to think I should move this to another sub-forum, but this IS in fact what I was playing on the weekend, and what I will be playing this weekend, soooooo...
Planetside 2
If you enjoy FPS games and have not tried it I highly recommend spending at least 25-50 hours to learn some aspects of it. Probably takes at least 100 hours to get a good grip of what really is (or can be) going on in the game. Totally free game.
Have 4.6k hours in the game and have played the original and this since beta. DX11 patch just went live, CAI patch somewhat removed (increasing vehicle VS vehicle TKK like it had been for 2 years pre CAI), and a bunch of other things. Expect some bugs as per usual but I hope the vehicle vs vehicle game is actually fun again (I drive and gun for all 3 factions).
Been taking advantage of Street Fighter V free week on Steam. It's still up for another seven days or so.
I've got another 8 days to decide if 8 bucks is worth it, as I don't play as many fighters as I used to.
Ugh....Wild Turkey. I got sick as hell drinking that one night with some friends. I woke up in a pool of my own vomit. There is nothing like the smell of Wild Turkey and vomit to turn you against it forever. To this day I can't drink that swill.

I had the exact same experience with Jim Beam. Just the smell alone will cause me to hurl now.
