There's a whole bunch of things that are FWPs in terms of the free game Warframe, so that's like FWP^2.

Do tell! As someone who is dumb and put real dollars into a free game, I'd like to hear.

I've mentioned them in the relevant Games thread and in the clan chat in-game but I mean stuff like one of my characters being so powerful I don't use the others and not getting quite as much of a rare-ish resource from a bountiful grind as I would have liked because I've been using them on rare poo poo I'm lucky to have. (Fusion cores from triton on rare mods if you play the game, I'm not sure from your post if you have or not)

Yes, I had meant that I had been dumb and put money into that game. I know exactly what you mean, I have nearly 600 hours in it, and probably half of it has been with the same equipment.

Current FWP: I've gotten used to going to bed early, that now my attempt to stay up late to play videogames has been going poorly.

e: I've only made 3,000 posts?? That seems inaccurately low.

Because 12345 posts at 1.11 a day would be weirdly satisfying.

I refuse to spend 80 loving dollars on a new videogame, so I'm probably not going to play fallout 4 for a year or longer. I know drat well that every major plot point in it will have been long spoiled for me by the time I get around to it.

The 20% off ended yesterday.

Yup. Most big releases these years have been 70-80 bucks. So Fallout 4 would be 120 if I included the DLC season pass, and there's no way I'd play that game enough to justify that price tag.

I built a pretty good gaming PC last month and I already want to upgrade to this GTX 980Ti/Skylake i7/AIO Cooler/Full SSD overkill build that costs twice as much. I guess it's true that future proofing is impossible. :negative:

I should really unsubscribe from the PC parts picking thread.

With the way PC gaming has stagnated, going all out is really pointless. Half of my gear is either mid-range or 3 years old and can run new games at either highest, near to highest graphics settings.

I guess my first world problem is how console gaming has held back the PC master race for years now.

Not just inis but driver bullshit, don't forget the driver bullshit. Also this is dependent on your hardware and maybe the threshold you have for janky mouse acceleration, fov, etc. Last ini I had to gently caress with was Fallout 4. Similar things happened with GTA5, and Batman is a whole...thing. So no, that's not my problem, my problem is people acting like this isn't something that exists.

All of those games listed are console games that were poorly ported to the pc. So my statement stands true, that pc gaming is held back by consoles.

The story in a video game made me sad, and while I want to play more of it, I don't know if I can handle it. I might have to take a break from one of my favourite games because it is too good.

I'm happy my family accepts my terrible wrapping. I always go over the top with bad wrapping, like huge balls of paper with a tiny present inside, or the wrapping being made of 90% duct tape.

I'm thinking this year I make it even worse by just taping plastic bags together.

My current fwp is the busy holidays are getting in the way of seeing the girl I'm now dating.

The passing Alan Rickman is the first celebrity death in some time to get to me. My girlfriend and I had been slowly making our way through the Harry Potter movies this month, and we only had the last two left.

There's still the problem that someday--hopefully not soon--that Microsoft will stop support for Windows 7 and then I'll be forced to upgrade. And/or I'll have to pay for it.

Mainstream support for windows 7, whatever that means, ended two days ago according to wikipedia. Extended support will still be available for four more years. No idea what any of that actually means, but I think we're good for a while longer. At the rate that they come out with new versions, I'm sure Windows 10 or 11 will be out by then. Maybe by 2020 I'll have enough reason to move on to a newer one (games no longer working on 7 is pretty much the only thing that would do it for me).

The Songza website is currently down, probably something to do with Google shutting it down. I want to get all the songs I've liked over the years, but doing it through the mobile app is so much less convenient than the full website.
