I just saw yesterday some inside leak was saying just the hardware to build the ps6 is $1000 to purchase today. That's not marketing, assembly, packaging, etc. Couple that with executives saying things like console's install base is too large to merit having a system being a loss leader, and I think we're proper $%*#)@

@mastermario Speaking of Creed's Greatest Hits and A Camaro

Prime Sale had a lot of CDs that came with auto rip for cheap: I bought Van Halen, GNR Greatest Hits, Limp Bizkit Chocolate Starfish, Rage Against the Machine XX and Evil Empire, Metallica Ride the Lightning, Led Zeppelin 2, and a Vinyl Limp Bizkit Significant Other, as well as Creed's Greatest hits! All of which replaced a cd case that was stolen out of my CAMARO my sophomore year at UNC-Asheville!

Seems like there's either a plethora of new old stock cds or they're pressing discs again, Amazon seems to run some pretty cheap deals. I also think I've seen some at walmart lately. With all this uncertainty with streaming concerning licensing, maybe there'll be a resurgence in physical music again. I know vinyl is making a comeback and gen z has been fishing thrift stores for everything from cassettes to vinyl as well.

A Winner Is You / Re: Brotato - Endless Wave 59

Last post by targetrasp - June 30, 2026, 07:03:59 PM

Yes, Steam showed 98% after the DLC dropped. I finally did just hit 100% again.

The two missing cheevies were for beating Nightmare difficulty and winning a run with Wounded (Both new to the DLC, and Nightmare win unlocks Wounded). Devs said Nightmare is not meant to be the standard, just an insane difficulty meant to be something very hard to beat. The wounded character dies in one hit. Nightmare took me days to beat, wounded took 3 tries.

Now we just need more DLC, and Blue to catch up

My son turned 16 on Saturday so I spent all Saturday doing Birthday stuff and I spent most of Sunday in recovery. A few dads at a trampoline park not jumping can drink some beers

Steam sales of the past have absolutely spoiled me price wise, and I took advantage. Lots of AAA games for about 5 bucks and many I've yet to play.

 With such a backlog, I now try to temper myself. If something is $5.00 and under and it looks like something I may play, I'm likely to pick it otherwise I'll wait.

I do want Baulders Gate 3 and Clair Obscura: Expedition 33 and would probably put them to the top of my list of things to play but they're $40 and $45 right now. If they were discounted to $20, I'd partake.

I would be fodder in Doom multiplayer but it sounds like a blast

Learn techniques and hone skills at the training grounds, recruit allies and build bonds of friendship, and explore beyond Dagsion's walls to gain experience and strengthen your forces in a variety of ways. How you spend your free time is up to you, but the tactical matches of the Games themselves will put your preparations to the test.

@CreepinDeth @targetrasp @SpartanEvolved and @retro junkie  --> I called this... it sounds like the current RAM prices might become the new norm and not drop.  This has happened in the GPU market.  I guess we will see what would happen if people stopped buying.

@BLUEVOODU
if anybody wants one, better start stocking up on wads of money now. Might have to run the bundles of money through the hay baler just to keep it together.

LOL Nice @mastermario  --> I would go to see them as well

OK... I just bought Terminator 23 in 4K/Blu-ray (double pack) for like $10.  I was hoping to get it cheaper, but a 4k and Blu-ray double pack for $10 new is probably the cheapest I'm going to find this. I was tired of streaming services always offering Terminator 1 but never Terminator 2

Also, I bought a DVD collection of Dark Skies Season 1 (the only season).  It was an X-files type show back in 1996 that aired.  I missed it the 1st time around.  It is interesting and we are currently on Episode 4.  There are parts that are not super polished.  It is pretty good for something 1996 and holds up well to the alien type stories, Roswell, JFK and other incidents.  I saw the creator on a Why Files Basement episode and decided to give it a shot for less than $20
