I would be getting through so many video games, have my taxes done, and be super productive at work being forced home this whole time. But I have a 6 year old and a 2 year old, so instead I will be pretty much worthless.

Boy does this hit home. I couldn't do crap if my wife wasn't watching the kids. However, the flip side is that it feels like this stage passes and they're graduating High School in a blink of an eye.

There are some ridiculous bullet hell games on Dreamcast. And it seems that they are all made by Capcom. Same with the fighting games.

I've had a gaming PC for ~12 years and owned a PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Switch during that time. I'll be buying a next gen console too.

That's me except being a Nintendo nut. Tbf my ex did buy my ps4. I did buy a ps3/360 tho.

Much better that way imo.

The dreamcast always felt like Capcoms true stomping ground.

Same basically. I also had a wii for a bit.

Shmups are my favourite genre and there are some great ones on DC but Capcom didn't make any of them, just published them. Capcom fighting games was one of the best reasons to own a DC though.

I might have enough time to actually complete Ikaruga at this rate

Anyone interested in running some COD warzone squads?
Definitely not a pro here, didn't play cod for nearly 10 years, but prob an average Warzone player id guess now after playing 20~ solo games the last few days.

I know some people occasionally watch classic Tetris, if you do and you've not watched for a while, the standard continues to go through the roof. Watch the quarter final that's just happened from this month's Classic Tetris Monthly between Eric and Dog, Dog maxed out three times in a row and lost the match, and that's in the quarter finals - Koryan didn't even qualify for the top level of the tournament as seventeen different players maxed out in qualification

I saw a tweet not too long ago (possibly ITT?), something along the lines of, "in 50 years, online games are going to be full of senile olds ruining the game for everyone else with their alzheimer's."

It's gonna be dope.

That'd still be less annoying/game ruining than having 13-year olds screaming about raping your mother, so things are looking up imo.

I mean, those 13 year olds will still be there too. It'll be glorious chaos!

Hitman: Absolution is free on GOG for the next 72ish hours.

TeamLiquid (Starcraft web site) had a thread about people in Starcraft speaking up: https://tl.net/forum/starcraft-2/560...in-starcraft-2

Who knew that an industry dominated by young, immature males engaged in activities that appeal to anti-social, male power fantasies with a top heavy power structure would have trouble with women?

Damn, Ubisoft is pissing me off right now...

Bought Anno 1800 on Uplay, and it showed me an error about the payment before auto-refreshing the page. Seconds later i get a message that my card has been charged and the order pops-up in my orders page on Uplay. But the game isn't activated.

First party launcher having problems, ok **** happens, let's ask support:

First try, email: "email support has been disabled due to Covid, please try live-chat".
Live chat: "live chat is not available. Please try again at another time."

Ok, there is a support button on my orders page. Let's try that... 404 Page.

Hmmm, starting to get pissed off, but let's continue our quest.
Ok... Let's try US live chat... US live chat: sorry, we only support US customers.

Last try, Twitter. 12 hours later, no acknowledgment of the DM.

How the **** do I contact support?

This is old with no response, but if anyone is interested, I'm always looking to add players (with mics who use them) for when I'm on. I miss the old 2+2 MW2 squad days.

Carbolic on Xbox One.

FWIW you can play with people on any platform with voice comms. Might be worth checking out reddit or a discord dedicated to that to find games.

Sport's presenter commentating on his dogs.

I just beat Super Mario 64 for the first time without looking anything up on my DS. I still have no idea how to make red blocks solid. I assume it made beating it harder as I had to go for some of the difficult stars (I was able to figure out from ingame descriptions what those red blocks do so I knew what I needed exactly for some of them)

Don't you just have to go up in the sky in hit the red switch? I guess it's prob impossible to find that w/o a guide tho.

I propose to close the LoL and hearthstone sub forums and bring back one mega thread for each in here.
It could revitalize this forum a bit maybe.
