Though I did play some games tonight in the form of Climbey and Audioshield in VR land

Climbey more like barfey, jesus christ never been so motion sick, that particular method of locomotion totally doesn't agree with me!!!

Steep is already discounted to 30 bucks on PS4, not sure about other platforms. imo it still doesn't have enough content to be worth even that which is a massive shame.

In theory though my thyroid being broke would explain an awful lot about my health according to my doctors so even if it turns out the bumps are benign losing the thing could be a net win anyway?????

Well except for being in a hospital for 24 hours, noooooo

Bring a portable system.

Maybe I can guilt someone into letting me preorder a Switch, that's actually portable right? Or something? I dunno I've failed to pay attention to it at all 'cos I knew availability would be questionable anyway :v:

You get jello. Maybe even Italian ice since you're getting your thyroids out. The thinnest of silver linings but it's there. Also you get to make your bed move in fun ways.

On the subject of gamer celebs, I used to watch Yahtzee's chill, short Let's Plays he did with his Australian friend, but whenever politics came up he was pretty bad, nothing Nazi-esque of course but kinda misogynistic at the very least

Is The Witness a better hunched over at my desk with m+kb game or on my couch with a controller game?

Controller is fine, most of your gameplay is moving a pointer through a grid and you can lie down on a couch easily while playing it.

However some way to take screenshots of your screen is really helpful

The witness is definitely a good couch/controller game as far as first person games go. There's only one segment that requires moving fast/twitch reflexes and even then the puzzles you have to run to aren't very far apart.

I used to be into that sorta super negative humour but I just find it really tiring these days. Both with videos/written stuff, and with real life friends, if I'm hanging out with a friend that digs that super negative/critical humour than I need to take a break after a while because it just bums me out.

This is one of the things I like about Jim Sterling (once you get past the ironic fascist bit, which took me a drat while). Dude obviously really likes a lot of stuff, he just also shits on crap stuff with ferocity.

His podcast is pretty fun, him and Laura Dale will just go off on a random tangent about sexy boys in FF15 or how great some game is

Its true whilst I thought ZP was pretty funny when it first hit ten years ago I got tired of it real quick when others didn't. I don't mind people being sarcastic etc when something is bad but looking for positives too but this overly critical schtick gets tired.

I've never enjoyed Jim Sterling and have always found him insufferable myself, which is why I just don't watch his stuff or comment. Maybe I'm wrong though and there is something I'm not reaching as I just can't get into it.

Jim Sterling's videos on video game business practices are probably his best stuff, and very well suited to his schtick, but it's okay not to like a YouTube man imo

I really don't like PewDiePie or his content but is this going to affect him majorly overall? He's sort of just there and known about in the youtube scene now I mean he was on South Park a while back.
