@HobbitGamer apparently just their response to the lovely taxes our fantastic government is enforcing on digital goods, although it's way more than what the new tax would require. So 🤷🏻♂️
I should really know better. People treat Digital Foundry basically like a religion at this point. Have a differing opinion, or making my own judgement or valuing different aspects of a game, and saying it anywhere near people talking about DF is like talking about politics at a thanksgiving dinner in America. It's just a really bad idea.
I should just know - if DF is mentioned, just nod and agree. If I don't, I'm the enemy.

Digital Foundry just shows facts about the performance of games. If some people get mad because they saw frame rate drops of 5 fps well it is not DF fault it is just people being nitpicking.
Remember they do NOT make stuff up. They just use their advanced tools and show the results.
If people overreact it is their fault. I used to overreact to DF in the past because I though they kill the joy of some games but it is the opposite. Now it is fun watching reviews from them as I do it for entertainment. Their graphics + fps measurement have some really nerdy vibes
I find their videos interesting, it's always fun to see how games perform, the tricks used to achieve that performance, and how they compare to different versions of the same game.
I didn't play DDR arcade for freaking 3 months!
I felt my legs want to step on DDR pad. 🤪
I wanna play DDR arcade again.
Meanwhile, i watched America's Next Top Model marathon series from Youtube recently to kill my boredom during pandemic.
Edit: Looks like i will get New 3DS XL Europe Fire Emblem edition very soon. So excited ! 😀
My cartridges of Dillon's Dead Heat Breakers and Girl's Fashion Shoot will be playable after this.
@HobbitGamer Ah, checked the photos, did 'ya?
But yes, that was a good game. I never completely finished it, though. At some point, I had so many games on various systems, that I only ever finish a handful of them, and some remain half-complete or less, because I simply don't have the time or the energy for it, sometimes. And even when I do, then newer games always take precedence.
The only old games I'm currently playing, are the ones on my brand new Neo Geo Mini. It's a truly wonderful piece of hardware. The screen is simply fantastic, and nearly all of the 40 games on there are brilliant and highly entertaining. Some are punishingly difficult, though. Those arcade games back in the day certainly didn't pull any punches...
I like DF, but I totally get what @Heavyarms55 is saying. It's not really a knock on DF, but how closely people hang on to all the little details they mention. DF is judging games based pretty much solely on their performance, which is fine cuz that's their thing, but it's causing normal people, who would not normally judge a game based only on its performance, to do just that.
Been pretty busy the last couple of days between IRL and Xenoblade. Did I miss anything?
Other than Anti going into DDR withdrawal, I mean.
@Heavyarms55 That's definitely a contrast from the house I grew up in. Mom really tried to keep it clean, but not immaculately so; she realized we were kids and thus could be pretty messy. Plus, when you live on a property with multiple animals (All outdoors...other than when we'd sneak a cat in for a few minutes... ) and a father who isn't very considerate about tracking things in like mud, straw, and worse, cleanliness was really hard to pull off long-term. Having high ceilings thanks to a loft/half a second floor was tough to manage, too.
As for my own house, I don't keep everything completely immaculate, but you can definitely tell I don't have kids. XD I can be a clean freak, but I'm admittedly selective about it.
I've always thought model cars are a neat hobby for those who are into them, but your dad kept them immaculately clean? That'd be pretty hard to do; I struggle with keeping some of my knickknacks clean since they're so hard to dust.
@ThanosReXXX Used or not, they still look nice, at least from the angle in the images provided.
Quite a game collection you have on those two. Most of my console games aren't really on display as I keep them in a cabinet of my entertainment center. The 3/DS games are all on a shelf in my room, however. I need to rearrange again at some point. I spend WAY more time than I care to admit doing that when the need hits me.
Out of that used furniture I mentioned, the recliner (which I do use quite a bit) has seen the most use. It looks better than it did since I used an upholstery cleaner on it, but it's definitely not as a cream-colored as it used to be in some areas.
@Tyranexx Well, I bought them new, at least the green ones in that picture, but they're almost 20 years old now, and as mentioned, the nylon straps inside the seat have begun to sag, so even though the wooden frame is still perfectly fine, the seats themselves aren't that comfortable anymore. Hence me also not using them as actual seats anymore.
As for the games on there: that's about 30 games per row, so roughly 90 per chair, and then of course all the ones stacked on top of that. As you can largely see, the collection consists out of OG Xbox, Xbox 360, Wii U and Switch games.
And on the left chair, a small collection of Blu-rays as well. Mainly superhero and wildlife movies. Two genres that I always feel show the full potential of that particular medium.
@ogo79 Wow, if I wouldn't be so confident, that might have really put a dent in my self-esteem or it could have been an insult to my cooking prowess. What it ACTUALLY is, is a stir fry of chicken thigh fillet with mixed vegetables (carrot, onion, green beans, zucchini, bell peppers, paksoi) in a spicy sweet & sour sauce.
And because it's kinda spicy, I add the pineapple to counter/balance that.
i didnt realize you cooked that lol
guess my taste buds are very simple mr gordon ramsay
i seen the pineapple and had to take a jab at you
no one is safe from my pineapple on food insults

And yes, he is (usually) always right, and he is (almost) the sexiest gamer out there (not counting me) ;)

@NintendoByNature@HobbitGamer No rush, I took a month, just to be able to take the time to exchange goods and visits, so feel free to get to it whenever you have the time.
