ok - we are upgraded.  However, testing and other stuff needs to happen over the next week.  Feel free to let me know if you find something. 

Themes are not updated... images are not updated - yet.  I need to re-theme and many other tasks still. 

@retro junkie -->  You have some of the coolest gaming hauls for sure!  Awesome stuff! 

If anyone else received the gift of gaming... Post it up!

man... idk... I thought it portrayed the Empire as being even more of a monster and painting a more detailed picture of how awful they are.  IE the Jail episodes... taking over the town of Ferrix.  It painted a pretty good picture of oppression, manipulation, brutality...etc.

YES!! I thought it was very good and well done. Loved every minute of it. I was taken by surprise, never heard of it before. It was taken from a book series. I hope they continue with this into another season or two. As of right now Disney has renewed it for a second season.

Agreed!  We stumbled across it on accident.  It was a wonderful surprise.  The acting was well done... Constance is the favorite character for us.  The same guy (Tony Hale) playing the bad and good guy does a superb job.  Absolutely amazing.

I have to admit, that's pretty cool... and is a welcomed feature.  Good stuff.

So hard to believe.  2 years... still hard to find a PS5.   @targetrasp --> that's because no one wants the Xbox S Digital... but they want the Xbox Series X    I think that one is still hard to find if I'm correct.

lol... sounds like you guys are ready.     I'm a little behind schedule... but hopefully this will be in place next week. A few technical particulars needed to be prepped beforehand... and it took a bit longer than expected.  However, all of those pieces are now in place and next week should be the week for the upgrade.

Merry Christmas / Happy Holidays from Chickendinnergaming!  Thank you for being a part of this community!

I hope you are able to find peace, health, and happiness during the season... AND that all is well for you and yours.

Nice!  I haven't brought out the SP in a long time... a very long time. The battery is still good!  I did check it somewhat recently - didn't play it though... other tasks had to be completed.


Minecraft Dungeons -- I just earned the Minecraft Dungeons platinum trophy - topic link here.
Call of Duty - Modern Warfare II --> was playing a bit with @targetrasp  ... ended up having to finish my last certification test.  Passed... now holiday stuff.  But need to get back on this soon.

yeah.. I agree.  I've never been super fond of Atari outside a few games on the Atari Jaguar and some on the Atari Lynx.  I'll tell you...  this collection was pretty well done IMO.  It was tempting to buy.  The tempting part on this one is the addition of Lynx and Jaguar.   I did like some of the old games such as Centipede.  But I can only play those so many times these days... for whatever reason.

@targetrasp - Did you crack open the collection?  thoughts?

I've been playing Minecraft Dungeons with my son over the last year... and have just platinum trophied the original game.  Minecraft Dungeons is a pretty fun game.  I will post up another topic in regard to it in the near future.

This is platinum trophy #8... on the limited gaming time I've had over the last few years.

We happened to stumble onto this show on Disney+.  It's about a band of special kids solving a problem in somewhat of an intellectual way.  In Season 1, they have to face an "emergency."  It is interesting as there are tie-ins with how the world seems to be during the pandemic and even "post" pandemic (not in pandemic / disease topics).

While it is a younger show, we thought it was well written and acted.   Has anyone else checked this out?

The ending was definitely interesting.   Luthen Rael is a great character, but it was really hard to understand what he was doing.  I get he played both sides a bit, but letting certain events happen... didn't necessarily seem like the Rebellion way.  Though, I also may have misunderstood a few things.

It was also cool to see Saw Gerrera...  his character from Rogue One was interesting.  Though, I was a bit confused by Luthen and Saw's interaction just before said certain events.

Also - the post scenes credit... pretty cool.  Hopefully more to come!  It's cool to see Disney expanding the universe.

man... this is pretty cool. I Think we have an episode or 2 left.  The series really started off a bit harsh... but progressed quite well.  I'll post a bit more once we finish the last episodes.

Hey Everyone - Happy Thanksgiving - Early. 

I hope it's a wonderful holiday for you and yours.

IF you haven't been to the forums and Discord in awhile, please drop by and say hi! 

What are your favorite games to play on the Steam Deck?  In some cases, I find there's a vast library... and then I also see many titles aren't supported or require external software.   I have about 10-12 games that I WANT to play on it... with options for about 10% of my library... many more if I put time into the compatibility.

Thoughts, comments, Post it up!

Rough - that screen did look pretty nice now that I think about it. I did power it on for a few min when I brought it home. 

Maybe it's time to just use it...

In the past, I haven't been the biggest Atari fan.  I did like the Jaguar and Lynx.   However, this looks like a cool steel book Switch collection.
Atari 50: Steelbook Edition - Nintendo Switch

It's $50 at this time.

Thoughts? Comments?  Post it up. 

Just a heads up... in the next couple weeks, I will upgrade the forums to the newest version.  This is a new version, so some stuff will be added and there will be  changes in terms of some functions.

If there are questions, please let me know. The theme(s) should be the same for now, but could also look slightly different. 

Additional functions  that will be there, you will now be able to insert images directly in posts. 

Also -

• A new WYSIWYG editor SCEditor.
• HTML5 attachment uploading (including
• drag and drop)
• Drafts.
• Likes.
• Mentions.
• Alerts for new likes, mentions, private messages, etc.
• Event times and time zones in the Calendar.
• Time zone selection; manual hourly offsets are a thing of the past

@targetrasp - lol 

For those interested, decent deal on the Top Gun Maverick steel book:

I partook in this one.

Andor - after about the 3rd episode... it really started getting better IMO.    It's still a bit dark, but definitely digging it a lot more.

Anyone else still watching?  Getting into it?

@targetrasp  did you try this?

Bumping this topic... I think supply has been stabilizing. However, when I go to bestbuy.com, amazon.com, and others... I do not see anything in stock.

Both Amazon links are reservation only:
https://amzn.to/3UoIXb0
https://amzn.to/3Ao3HI3

This is unheard of though... 2 years out, already.  Hard to believe it's been 2 years btw.  Has anyone had success buying a PS5 (those who still want one)?

genesis mini 2 just came in the mail, this may get pushed back in the queue - game backlog is a FILO stack

@targetrasp come on man... play it!  play the game!  Do it Naow!
