IT's late... my bad... crazy month.  I hope you enjoy(ed) your digital cake.

ANNNDDDD... if you received the gift of gaming, post up your spoils!

I have not checked this out.. but I keep hearing it's awesome.  I'm behind on a lot of stuff right now.  We have a few things going on that's requiring a lot of time between work and personal life.  I probably won't be able to check on it any time soon 

I know this is awhile later, but how did the last 2 episodes go in your mind?  Awesome still?

Alright... has anyone been watching?  So far, this season started out great. I think we are at episode 3 now.  Good story, always aweome... I Want more.

Who's watching? thoughts, comments, post it up!

WOOT WOOOOTTTT  That's awesome lol.   Congratulations, @CreepinDeth   How are you liking it so far?

I completely forgot about Metroid Prime Remastered.  Crap... did they launch a steel book?    I couldn't find anything physical release wise for Metroid Prime Remastered... IE any in stock. 

Yeah... the screen resolution is weird.  Imagine going from the stock resolution to something that would be (for lack of better example) a 2k-4k monitor.  IE the normal resolution fits the screen well, like any other handheld that normally fits the screen.  Imagine your monitor going from 1920x1080 to 3840x1600 WITHOUT changing the scale / layout.  That's what it's like.  Now... after rebooting AGAIN... it's not doing that weird zoom out anymore.

When you click a user to chat, it opens the "sub" screen to the right as it normally does.  However, immediately after that, it opens a chat window maximized on the screen as if you were on a pc.  No Keyboard pops up, but it is definitely open in the background.  You can hit the A button and it will start typing g because that's the character the cursor is on behind the chat window.       Also, if I hit the options button (button with 3 lines top right), I get a specific steam error and it asks me to refresh.  I refresh by hitting the underlined text... and then can get back to everything BUT with the same problems listed above.

I think I'll try contacting Valve. This has worked well so far... until yesterday.

@retro junkie That's pretty sweet!  You always have awesome Birthday spoils!

Well, if you all do end up doing them again, I wouldn't mind popping in for one or two. If you'd have me. 

Sure thing man... if this becomes a reality, you're in!

Dariusburst: Another Chronicle Ex+ - PlayStation 4 - Amazon.com


On sale. 11% off... not a ton, but it's a shooter I have on my list.

My Steam Deck sat uncharged for a few weeks.  I charged it and turned it back on.  I know this worked a few weeks ago.

Once my Steam Deck finished charged, I turned it on. The screen was of normal resolution.  Oddly enough, I started using it, and the screen zoomed out as if it was a much larger resolution where everything on-screen was very small. 

I then tried to message someone, and the on-screen keyboard didn't come up until I close chat. However, I cannot message anyone. No matter what I do, the chat screen comes up, but the on-screen keyboard doesn't show up and I can't get it to show up.

I've ensured all updates were performed, restarted the Deck, shut it down... etc. no dice.

Has anyone else run into this?  It's quite frustrating. 

@CreepinDeth The host fixed something on their end recently... and I'm wondering if that impacted the calendar and allowed it to show the events.

With that, how are the alerts working for you now?

lol... theyt should've released the Mario movie on Mario day.  Good call @mastermario .  AND you have a new Mario avatar as well!

This year is flying by... seems to be faster?

I was pumped when they announced Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania.  It's now out, we saw it, and it was spectacular.

In my opinion, the Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania was a heavy hitter and one of Marvel's strongest movies in awhile.  Black Panther: Wakanda Forever was a strong showing, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness was well done, Spider-Man: No Way Home was massive, and let's not forget several of the Disney+ Series as well as other strong titles such as Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings.

It's hard for me to say it's better than all the others, so I will refrain from that.  However, it's an amazing movie.    No Spoilers on this round as well 

Who has seen this movie?  what are your thoughts?  Post it up!

Happy Birthday @SpartanEvolved !  I hope you have an awesome birthday.  Enjoy your digital cake!

And .. while your digital distro'd games are not near as exciting as @retro junkie 's, if you get the gift of gaming, POST IT UP!   

So... @mastermario  was it a @SpartanEvolved rage quit?  or? LOL 

Whoa, that's quite a nostalgia trip you just gave me there. You all still doing those?

Haven't for many years... but... everyone seems to be thinking of trying to do them again lol

Happy Birthday @retro junkie .  I hope it's a great one!  Also... enjoy your digital cake.  And also also.. I know you get some of the best birthday swag.  Don't forget to post up your birthday spoils   

@Grindspine  --> that would be cool to start again.  Man... time right now is a bit insane.  It would be cool for sure.

@retro junkie  --> soooo.... everything showed up again.  I'm baffled and not sure the heck happened.  But everything is there again.

I hear you... I'm not sure it was a thought in many people's minds. 

I wonder if Cloud gaming will eventually catch on well.  Speaking of that, I need to check Amazon Luna and a few others.  Not sure what's happening anymore on those fronts.

Another Bump!

My favorite part is Zombie Strange lol... we are beyond the spoiler alert time thresholds.  We recently watched this movie again.  The other part I really liked --> How they're starting to incorporate the other characters (X-Men) that previously could not be incorporated.  The future may have a ton more crossovers now!  I am pumped for that.

Still one of my favorite scenes is the part where Wanda is chasing Strange (et all) down the long corridor.  That was funny... and perfectly suspenseful. 

LOL nice --> but... some of those are underage Links... @Grindspine

I missed this in December 2022... and then the subsequent returns Google provided in January 2023.   It looks like Google Stadia is dead.

DO you think this a Cloud Gaming trend?  more to come?  Or is this Just Google bowing out of a market segment?


Comments, thoughts?  Post it up!

I bet @Grindspine didn't add a butt in the previous birthday post!

Well.. Triple checking... all the calendar settings are there.  Not sure why just Helskyth's birthday remains and everyone else is gone.  I'm continuing to look into this.   

Happy birthday @mastermario !   I hope it's a great one.  Enjoy your digital cake. It's awesome to have you here... we need to see more of you.

Annnddd if you received the gift of gaming, post up your spoils!

LOL @Grindspine  What the heck is this?

lol nice - and yeah... you should make a topic on that.

I'll be... I do see availability locally - by Feb 2nd. You can buy online now as well. That's crazy and just changed recently. 

Looks like it's still by invite on Amazon:

@CreepinDeth — I thought the consoles behind the registers were all pre-buys waiting for people to pick them up?  They weren't available to buy. At least they were. 

So those are technically available now?

Hey @CreepinDeth - you had alerts for EVERY new topic and reply over the entire forum? 

I don't think I set it up that way for myself.  So far, I'm getting replies where I've set it up and from mentions.

Let me know and I'll test it out with the same settings.

Anyone else have issues? 

LOL yes ^^^^^ something like that @Grindspine
