FYI, it's on sale at Macy's right now Controller Kids Rug

2's swipe it this time for me.

I'm going to keep this list short this year.  I'll have "more time" to play games but I REALLY want to make sure I don't overwhelm myself with games to beat.  And this list isn't meant to be a "games I've played".  In no particular order...

1. Bugsnax (PS5)
2. Song in the Smoke Rekindled (PSVR2)
3. The Light Brigade (PSVR2)
4. The Walking Dead: Saints & Sinners Chapter 1 (PSVR2)
5. Psychonauts 2 (PS4)
6. Job Simulator (PSVR)
7. Down the Rabbit Hole (PSVR)
8. Trover Saves the Universe (PSVR)
9. Pixel Ripped 1989 (PSVR)

I think I posted this photo in another thread but I'm too proud of my award winning costume to not post it here too

Merry Christmas everyone!

I opened my gift kinda late which is why I didn't post about it till now.  @WalterWhiteJr. nailed with the PS Move games.  I'm looking forward to playing the games and see if they were really bad or people just didn't want to buy into the "gimmic" of motion games trying to mimic the Wii even though they are actually fun to play and do work well.  Also I'm SUPER happy you got me coffee beans!  I really really really wanted some coffee bean from another "local" place to try.  Also I'm totally going to have that christmas card on my fridge for way too long

Man, wish I could of taken some college courses on video games.

Twitch is the entry point for the grooming, it has literally happened with multiple big streamers (same as YouTube). All it takes is for a young fan of these internet celebrities to reach out via PM or similar to set off the chain.

I'm betting it's not the hot tub girls doing the grooming.  But agree, the scary shit is in PMs/DMs.

I have no problem with young teens looking at adult content, as long as they have some sort of respect and dignity with themselves.

But the interactive aspect of Twitch is just a recipe for disaster. Grooming, and brainwashing kids for cash is one thing, then the warped sense of reality teens will get in how the sexual aspect of a relationship works...no, sorry this is wrong on all levels.

Porn shouldn't be interactive, ESPECIALLY stuff that's accessible for young teens, and even preteens.

Honestly, the more I think about it, the more it seems outlandish and outrageous.

Twitch is grooming???  Honestly if are worried about that it would be conducted somewhere far more private like Discord DMs or Roleblox.  Twitch is pretty much a very public forum so I wouldn't be worried about grooming there.  As for the concerns of porn being available means it will take over the whole platform.  I will just site Reddit and Twitter.  Both allow porn and both are not KNOWN for porn.  Granted if you use those sources for porn then you know them for porn.  Lets just say I was shocked when I stumbled onto some NSFW tweets before.  

The internet is going to be the internet.  I'd be FAR more concern over neo-nazi hate speach or flat earther theorist on YouTube than hot tub girls on Twitch.  AI overlords will soon detect the slightest indication of boob drawing and auto sensor it for you though so just rest easy.

2121,  First was I could careless.  It hurt to not vote for Tears for Fear but I'm a sucker for rock songs with a string section.  The rest were easy.

Hey everyone, tomorrow (the 9th) is the deadline to ship!!!

Some have communicated to me already about shipping late, but there are still a handful of folk who have not shipped and have not communicated with me. Is everything going alright? If you are running into issues, please let me know, I promise I won't get mad as long as you communicate with me!

UGH!  Guess I need to stop buying more tasty treats and get to wrapping.

Granted something like this may exist but 99.99% of commercial airplanes you travel in look like this

While travelling all over the world across every continent throughout countless countries for so many years I have never been in an airplane with seats in its wings ever even once. The whole airplane is basically just a big and long tube where everyone sits and wings are just very thin and they have engines on them. Wings literally never have seats. In fact, every single commercial passenger plane is built like this and you will never see anything else. Not sure why but there must be some technical explanation for it. Maybe because if planes were built with wings that can be populated it might create situations with terrible imbalance that can create a very dangerous situation. That picture is definitely not a "typical airliner". Not even close. This picture isn't relevant and isn't even funny. It doesn't relate to anything in real life. Maybe it's supposed to be retarded? Or maybe it's just that whoever drew that picture has never seen a real airplane which would explain everything. Actually after taking a closer look I can see "bumper car area". How old are the creators of these "memez" 7??

"This picture isn't relevant and isn't even funny. It doesn't relate to anything in real life."  Humor doesn't need to be grounded in real life.  It's OK if you don't find those kinds of jokes funny.  Others do, and that's OK too.

"Or maybe it's just that whoever drew that picture has never seen a real airplane which would explain everything."   I think that is not the case.  I think they intentionally drew the picture that way even though they know that isn't how "typical" airplane look.  They thought it was funny, even though it doesn't relate to anything in real life.

There, I've fulfilled the Cody Monkey request, I believe.

How about discussing what's listed on the customs form ahead of time? 

What?  Gifts????  Least that is an option to put on the costumes form I believe.

umm what’s going on here? Lol  

Orko also seems it be alarmed what what's going on....

When it comes to collecting I don't have guilt for the value of my collection.  Mostly because I have "junk" that is no where near $1k in value for a single game.  Collectively it has some value but we all know bulk "junk" is never worth as much as it's valued when sold in a large sale.  I feel guilt from SPENDING money on the collection.   I only feel that when I look at the total amount I spent.  I'm sure I feel FAR more guilty if I looked at how much I spend on fast food than my video game collection.  At least I'm spending money on something that makes me feel happy more than just shortly after the purchase.  I can look at my collection and feel happy.  I guess that is what people do when they look at art pieces.  I guess my collection is "art" to me.  Everyone has a hobby and hobbies have pros and cons.  A con is typically that its a money sink.  At least all hobbies are for me 

Yup, figured PSVR would not be listed.  Hell, you didn't even list PS4.

It loses so many details to the point that sometimes stuff in pictures is just unreadable. Like seriously will this ever be improved?? 

If you want real good detail you have to post files on another site.  I will second that http://imgur.com is pretty damn good for hosting my bullshit photos that only like 3 people probably open all the way up to see the full resolution.  If you want better detail you could always zoom in on what you want to show and then the crappy compression still is usable.  You know Gloves has to like three new kittens and needs to start a college fund for them.  And of course they are stuck up and want to go to college out of country so it's EXTRA expensive.  VGS don't have the funds for fancy things no more...

2211,  that first one was a hard call for me.
