    YourFavGrandpa got a reaction from VirginDefiler in Video Game Discussion Thread vol. 2   
    I ... I have considered getting rid of my Switch lately.

    It gathers dust and hasn't been turned on in a couple months time. I also sold off a 1/5th of my 150ish game collection in a attempt to slim down before we start packing stuff away in boxes and moving not too long ago to a local collector. The only games I'm keeping and not getting rid of unless shit gets super dire are my M2 shumps.  

    I have considered a OLED Steam Deck to replace it, and giving the Switch to my grandson with a few of the games (mostly Mario stuff); but my concern is that even with as many games as I have on PC, it'll still gather dust.

    I have a Apple Watch Series 9 in-house. Minus a couple of initial setup/backup quirks, it seems to be running fine. Charging it now while the World Series is on. I did not trade in my 1st Gen SE, and just plan on having it recycled when I go to Dallas on November 30th.

    Edit:
    I promise I'm working on reviews on the Apple TV and the 15 Pro Max.

    can confirm this was the case during the time I was a govt contractor.

    During this last break from the site, we had a couple of things happen. Most important is that our plan to buy a house fell through (luckily we had only put up $500 for a application fee instead of our down payment). We are exploring other options for that, including renting at the same complex our daughter-in-law is at ... and staying here. We've not had any further issues with our Shepherd since the order was lifted, and the HOA fees are half of what we would potentially pay for rent, even with the $50 fee increase that started this past month. Since this happened, we will be here through the end of the year most likely (we are on a month-to-month basis with the HOA, and do not have a contracted commitment to stay currently).

    Welp,

    We're officially in the market for a house. The stuff with the HOA here broke the camel's back, and combining that with my 3rd grandchild being born in November; this seems to be the best time to say deuces to this fucking place and move on.

    Was without a desktop computer for over 2 weeks due to multiple parts failing at the same time, then replacement parts being DOA; then being out of town for Quakecon this past weekend. That being said, for the "upgrade" I did get some decent stuff .... 12700KF and a Asus z790 motherboard with DDR4 support (?!). Everything booted first try as well, and I didn't have to buy another Windows license.

     
    Steve makes some very good points, as always. I haven't watched LTT stuff in a very long time (I even get recommendations for LTT content, main channel or otherwise) , but this is gonna get interesting very quickly, me thinks.

    Got my copy of the Xenoblade 3 soundtrack during the most recent absence, and disk 4 had a gigantic fucking scratch on it (to the point where my CD Drive wouldn't read it). I did read where the soundtrack will be available digitally, but am uncertain of the format. That will be my next purchase most likely, and I also have a copy of the Octopath I OST being held for me at Fedex, planning on getting that tomorrow while out running errands.

    The issue is that I'm 100+ miles from a Microcenter (about 2ish hours by car), so I might just pivot her to a 12th/13th gen Intel system and give her my case/motherboard/PSU; and move into a Mini ITX system. The issue with a Mini ITX system for me is that since I have a 7900 XTX, it's super hard to find a case that'll fit it in a smallish form factor. The wider A4 DAN case will fit it with 2mm to spare, and I think I can make that work.

    It was ordered from CDJapan, so it's being delivered via DHL I assume. We were able to successfully delay our move towards the end of the year though, so we're good.
