I've figured I'm safe at 16GB system plus 8GB video ram since PS4 Pro only has 8 total and XBOX has 12 total, and most games are developed with consoles as the lead platform. But even so, I still get jealous of people with better systems than me.

Re: The VVitch

@deanb In addition to all the really shady stuff like "losing" registrations or whatever (which does happen, but I think people blow it out of proportion) recently states have started passing laws where if you haven't voted in the last X number of elections then they send you a notice to check that you're still living there, and if you don't respond they unregister you. It's not a problem for people who vote regularly, just for people who registered years ago but haven't actually been voting, then decide they want to, only to find out they've been unregistered. I actually had a weird thing happen to me in the primary this year, where they thought I had moved and had changed my registration address, even though I hadn't. Turns out the post office sent a change of address for a different person and they got it mixed up with me and changed my voting address instead. I truly believe that was accidental though, because they were really helpful about it and even made it a point to call me later after they'd figured out what happened. I had my wife check to make sure she was still registered properly, and she was.

All y'all with your 32 GB of RAM making me feel inadequate with 16...

I paid $40 for HW2 and was happy with it, so $5 is a steal.

Oh yeah, I preordered Red Dead 2 for PS4 about a week ago too, but forgot to put it in here.

Nier:Automata is 60% of on GMG (for about the next half hour) and that was finally low enough that I bit.

Okay, now I want a game like Dying Light, but with robots instead of zombies. Also, we're all gonna die.

Sonic Mania is like the idealized version of the old school Sonics, it's better than any of the Genesis ones.

Holy shit, that's fantastic. What movie is that?

Yeah, I've never understood why they make gamer stuff so ugly. Especially portable gamer stuff. It's embarrassing.

Man, I thought being able to plug the ground probe into the live slot was good enough, but it gets so much better. Also, "That's actually quite useful for just poking random things across." ??????

I just started Shadow of the Tomb Raider tonight (PC, natch). It's crazy how much better it runs than Rise did, while also looking way better. I'm able to get a completely solid 30 fps at nearly 4k (3360x1890) with literally everything maxed out. It also somehow feels better than 30 fps did in Rise.

Greetings!

I really liked the inclusion of Miles, especially once

Spider-Man Easily GOTY so far. Nothing else even comes close. It was just such a blast to play. Sure, it's largely based on systems other games have done before, but they're all just so perfectly executed. God of War was good, but this game is Amazing.

Those books sound like a rough read.

I thought Phase 1 was Avengers Assemble...

@jayc4life Is it alright if I give your friend code to my wife?

I almost never use my web, even in the beginning, except for against the big bruiser guys.

GoW, as good as it was, can't even come close to Spider-Man.

It's on GMG for $45 with a voucher. Given the generally great reviews I couldn't resist.

I finished Life Is Strange: Before the Storm a couple days ago. It was quite good, way better than I was expecting. Might be one of the best prequels I've ever played/seen (reboots aside). They managed to make it about events prior to the first game without tying everything in to the events of that game. It feels like its own story.
