It's alright, and actually just tested it again now just to make sure and I think we're good,

It’s the weirdest launch cycle, I’ll be getting a ps5 at launch, but mostly to hopefully play my PS4 backlog in a hopefully upscaled way with hopefully faster load times, and I have no interest in a series X, but will dip into the Xcloud service to play Halo infinite since that service will have Halo at launch..

Dan's Nightmare stream this weekend and just the absolute powerhouse of positivity and joy and enthusiasm he's been on his streams and watching some of the older random PC game content really brought it home that GB has lost a lot of that "fun energy" and it absolutely kills me to say that,

but also gotta look at it from the perspective of the times we are in now "feels" like they have noticeably taken a toll on the energy of the staff, especially with what feels like one of these threads resurfacing from the dead like once a week because folks need a place to vent.

This site has always weathered through all the storms they face, always will remember how people were proclaiming the end of the site when Ryan passed and they came back arguably with one of their strongest set of years with hiring Dan/Jason/Austin. so I still hold belief that when this is all over they will be back.

All systems goku and The Hotspot and Danswers easily.

All are the definition of content I didn't think I needed till it was introduced.

Shoutout to 8-4 play and Aftermath show though, both easy listenings.

I think I’m beginning to just ignore scores and read the text more detailed (shocking I know)

Like gamespot gave it a 7, but reading the text, it’s pretty clear the editor like really enjoyed the time with the game, but just had some nagging issues with it

Nah, but I see where your coming from though

Most of these boys have been around in the industry for years and years, so they have seen the blueprint of games that for the most part has been the same, but with new layers added on top of it each year And each generation (and not in a bad way), I would never expect them to lose their minds over a reveal of a game these days, but more along the lines of “oh that looks cool/neat”

If you think the stuff Ubisoft showed is awesome, to hell with what people think, own that excitement, no one can take that from you. Same if you think it all looked like hot garbage.

Watch dogs looks fun, Weill see on Valhalla, and Far Cry’s tone and vibe and story looks fucking awesome

Trying to download some of the premium videos and some of the download speeds are ridiculous. some videos take around an hour, some take up to 3 hours. some don't even give a time estimate on how much time is left., pausing and unpausing them sort of speeds it up weirdly enough, but i guess im surprised, as usually downloading videos here in the past has been like lightning fast.

(Using the latest version of Google Chrome on a Windows machine, internet speed is around the range of 250mbs)

Something with Code Masters or working with a flight sim company.

or he's secretly funding Solitarica 2

Jan's has kinda risen to become a real superstar, I highly look forward to anything he does, the Minecraft videos are perfect background videos to have on while doing something else. and the Astroneer videos with one of the best video duos Vinny and Brad are a delight.

And as a old fan, having the hotspot back in some form and having it be specifically pieces of the old hotspot cast is great.

Other than that, everything's fine, GB and Dan Ryckert's twitch streams are big parts of my lockdown entertainment so I can't be too critical of everything, but this has been my favorite stuff.

But give Vinny a vacation, this week beastcast really seems like he's super stressed out.

I think it’s the nature of the act itself, especially when folks have build up an attachment to the characters in these games VS something like mortal kombat or a movie like John Wick where the violence is part of the spectacle of it all

And for what it’s worth, I can watch mortal kombat fatalities no problem and barely react because for me mortal kombat is so far from reality that my brain already knows to chill ,

but as someone who played through the first last of us, liked it, but didn’t love it, and really have no interest playing last of us 2, I watched that golf club Scene on YouTube and couldn’t make it through the video because of the act of the scene and the way it was presented
