Higher level gear doesn't actually impact stats much. It unlocks new ammo types for that weapon and more mod slots. There is no reason to hold onto lower tier gear, upgrade as soon as possible. You will get more shards quickly.

i actually sold my tripcaster before doing the quest for it and now i have that quest there forever. its sorta dumb that the gear quests wont fire off unless they're explicitly active, and its sorta dumb i have a quest i can never finish now too but its not a huge deal

The story-related dialogue scenes in Horizon look great! Are all of the side-story dialogue scenes as bad as the infamous Brom scene, or is that one uniquely terrible?

That may very well be the most ethical thing to do but I'm not ditching the ability to auto update and get into a game in 5 seconds instead of 5 minutes.

Maybe I'll try to cut down on my trash output and feel less guilty about rest mode.

This. We're the largest manufacturer of pizza boxes in my state, and it's crazy how much waste there is and we're small fry compared to most other packaging places.

While we recycle all cardboard and plastic we throw away, the sheer wastage of packaging is massive, it's something I've only just realized since working here.

Thankfully a lot of manufactures offer bio packaging now which in the majority is actually cheaper to buy.

Sorry for the derail.

Seriously, I can't get used to Sony not pushing PSPlus free games the first day of the month like Xbox Live Gold. It is drat weird to not even know wich games will be this month.

Edit: Looks like Disc Jam and Teraway. Not too hot again meh.

I played the Disc Jam beta and wasn't impressed. Teraway is yet another indie game that I'll never play. Sony has nice sales but they didn't give a single decent game since I subscribed to PSPlus in December.

There is a difference between decent games and games you want to play. Since December there has been Invisible Inc, Stories, Titan Souls, The Swindle, Day of the Tentacle, This War of Mine and Not a Hero which are games that all range from being excellent to at least worth playing around with a little bit.

Just buy a ps4 decal skin for 20 bucks. I did it and it looks great. Advantage is you can go ahead and get the pro now and not wait.

he thought it was funny because his dead friend had a boner, that's the important part of the story

There is one that is worse, at least in voice acting, and it was so bad I started laughing. It's the guy who sends you to look for a his grandma's ring. He sounds like every stereotype I've heard of a DnD player, like all the dudes in that Dead Alewives skit.

However, the game is still so fun that I accidentally played until 5am last night. Like when I saw what time it was, I was genuinely in horror because I had plans this morning and knew I was going to have to get up and feel like complete and utter poo poo.

And no, buying a game from a commercial seller on eBay who got hosed sure is the same as buying from a keysite.

I am renting Horizon on Gamefly. If I factor in the labor and materials required for reselling and time-based depreciation vis-a-vis the used market, I estimate that buying it new and reselling when I am done would cost about $20. A Gamefly subscription is $16 a month, so if I take fewer than 35 days to finish it I will come out ahead
