I should have just opened it and played it, looks like it's still hovering around $100.00.

I have been going back to a few old threads and checking out some of the older AND cool posts / releases.  Feel free to do that and post up on any old topics!  We support that here.

Looking back on this release, this was a good call out @targetrasp

@retro junkie were you able to secure one of these?  An how is / was the aliexpress version?

Nothing. AI data centers are extremely bad for the environment and are contributing to the rising cost of PC parts and water shortages. Things like ChatGPT and Grok don't have real answers, they are just regurgitating an general answer based on aggregate data (that can be incorrect).

But mostly, imo AI devalues art. Why should I watch a video that someone couldn't be bothered to create on their own.

I caught up on the newest Pokemon anime (Horizons) by watching like two seasons in about a week. Waiting for the last part to be translated now.

The cost of consoles keeps going up but I feel like the games aren't noticeably better. Maybe you can see more details in hyper realistic graphic styles but gameplay trumps graphics, and many games forget that. From Sony exclusives, I loved Uncharted 1-3 but when Uncharted 4 came out, I struggled to finish it because it felt like they put so much effort into looking fancy that they neglected other aspects of the game. The puzzles weren't as good, and the combat was boring (and there was too much of it so it was really tedious).

Additionally, in the last generation, most of the really notable PS5 (and Xbox) games were later available on Steam. So to me the only gaming systems I need are a good PC and a Nintendo system because they are doing things that other companies aren't.

As a part of this 30 years of Resident Evil --> what are your favorite Resident Evil memories and stories?  This could be game play, the stories and backstories, movies... or other things about the lore. 

Post it up!

LOL I mean... the crockpot is the ultimate set and forget meal cooker.  This goes directly against a set and forget mindset.   This should not be done with a crock pot... but it sounds like you might use these features?

If I am using AI for anything, I am very unaware. I try to avoid and shy away from any use of AI. When watching videos on YouTube and I in some way suspect it being AI, I turn it off and go to something else. Now I don't mind watching a movie that may contain graphical effects made by AI, like spaceships fly through space, AT AT Walkers, etc. It is not that I am afraid of it in any way, I just don't trust it and I am very suspicious of it.
