@etakeh Stray is great. I don't know exact counts but I must have played at least a couple dozen games from this year, mostly thanks to Game Pass. Played Horizon FW day one, which was awesome. .. I also still play WoW, LotRO, Destiny 2.. Started playing Warframe this year.. heh.

@etakeh That's how I've been with passive media. Watch the new LoTR series on Amazon? nah, rather watch the Trilogy again. Watch some new comedy series? meh. Gimme Futurama (the first run, once they left Fox I"m kinda eh on them too) or MST3K (again, the classic seasons 1-10) Gaming tho I've kept up with the new tech, even got a PS5 on launch day. I still have all my old consoles and I fire em up here and there, and most my Steam library is pushing a decade old till this winter's sale purchase.

@etakeh Oh yeah I know that feel. Running Linux since '07, it's only just now starting to get "easy" to run stuff on my PC. and with the new Steam Deck for Xmas from mah partner, it's getting even easier. Back when I started with Linux there were 20 step walkthroughs just to get the game installed or the launcher to work lol.

@tyote Yeah, I rem them days from when I was a youngster, going into the local rental place to rent NES/SNES games and having to decide what I would play for the weekend based on the box art. Boy did I get burned a lot, lol.

@etakeh hehe, just gotta commit. I"m jumping from one to another since most of my library/games I just bought are "untested" for the Deck so I'm testing em. Already got at least one I wanna sink more time into.

@tyote I tend to go with a mood or theme these days. "Think I'll get a few point-and-clicks this time. Want me some adventures and silly puzzles." or "Feeling jumpy lately, maybe some platformers."

@tyote Yup. This why my wishlist is so long tho. When you have 1700 things on there, the big sales will *always* have something good in em for me. I don't mind playing something I added on a decade ago 🤪

@tyote "well, what's 4$ over. not that big a deal. ... maybe just one more to make it an even 10..."

@etakeh Yeah, I have Game Pass, PS+ too. My Steam wishlist is 1700 deep still. I will never catch up on my backlog. I won't be able to live long enough lol.

Stupid Winter Steam Sale. How dare Valve take my money. I gotta say tho, 22 games for 30 USD is a pretty good deal. Yes, they are all already installed on my #SteamDeck. #CoSoGaming

@KarenSohne It's been 5 years in this thing. I am not a small man (6'1 and 250ish), so a 28x8 foot box is not great. However, it *is* the most, in fact *only* affordable option in this city for us at this point. 7-800 a month depending on the electric use. Bedrooms rent for more here. We've done what we can to fix it up ('97 and it's been mistreated a long time) and make it comfortable. Looking for an upgrade tho, little longer and with slides if possible. So far so good with the water today 🤞

Big storm today. Lots of rain and wind. Gotta hope the trailer don't either float or blow away. Well it won't blow away. .. probably.. It's less likely than the floating, anyway. Need to keep an eye on the runoff "creek" behind us and hope the park fixed the wall where it was broken or whatever happened that allowed us to almost flood during the huge storm last year. Foot away from water inside. This thing is a POS, but if's still worth a little something, unless it floods. #TrailerParkLife

Happy Whatever you're celebrating today, if you are. Have a good Sunday if you aren't. #HappyHolidays

Finished #Portal again. Plays great on the Deck. Still Alive is still fun to listen to. Deck has some really good speakers for a handheld. Impressive spatial sound. Also tested Haven Moon, a Myst-like. Labeled "untested" for the Deck, but I didn't have any issues in the 45 minutes I played it. I like my new toy. I'm actually debating installing #WoW or #LoTRO (labeled playable for the Deck lol) for shits and giggles. #SteamDeck #CoSoGaming

Been playing with the Steam Deck. Installed 5 of the 27 Deck verified games in my library. 2 of them shouldn't be verified lol. Controls ain't working for Pid, Hamilton's Great Adventure crashes after 1 min. Portal works great, naturally. Deck is a nice device. I'ma enjoy messing around with it. #SteamDeck #CoSoGaming

@StonePiggy You're the best. You stinker.

Well, that was a short lived reign as Winner of Xmas. @StonePiggy surprised me with this today. #SteamDeck #Xmas #CoSoGaming

@th3j35t3r He's literally Phillip J Fry from the episode "A Fishfull of Dollars" just with $200 billion (or whatever it is today) instead of $4.2 billion.
