    YourFavGrandpa got a reaction from Hawkingbird in The Mega Technology Thread - Happy 3rd Birthday!   
    The Google Store had the Pixel 6 Pro available in 512gb finally after being sold out of them for a bit, but I can't pull the trigger on one until after my wife's eye surgery is taken care of.

    A couple of additional things as well: 

    My Google TV is hooked back up to our Samsung TV, as I got tired of Tizen's inability to keep a Twitch channel native to the OS (and I didn't want to turn on the PS5 or XBox). I also have retired my Apple Watch SE in favor of a Fitbit and Garmin smartwatch combo that my wife agreed to. The last thing deserves it's own line, it's that important.

    I PULLED THE TRIGGER ON A NAS ENCLOSURE! It should be here either Tuesday or Wednesday, as it's in New Jersey somewhere right now.

    That's good news at least. I didn't try out the game on PS4 originally.
    Fuck ... I'm probably doomed.

    Apparently I've been addicted as of late to collecting shock boxes from reprints/physical copies of SNK games. I will have four of them in a couple of weeks, since I bit the bullet and bought KOF2002UM from Pix'n Love.

    Ended up having to return the pair of Corsair Virtuoso headphones I bought in February yesterday due to them not powering back up. I went to a break from work, came back and the headset was lit green and didn't turn back on, even after following Corsair's troubleshooting instructions and having their support team assist me via phone. Ended up coming home with a new pair of Astro A40s, as they were the cheapest option to get without digging into money set aside for bills.

    I'm probably confusing him with Valle and James Chen, as they're older than I iirc.

    Trying to decide if I want to buy the KOTOR collector's edition that Limited Run is selling on Switch or PC. I'm leaning towards PC at the moment.

    Deathsmiles 1 & 2 is getting a limited english release in mid-December via Strictly Limited Games. About half the stock is gone last I checked, and the Limited Edition is around $100.

    Got my 1tb MicroSD card in the mail today. Followed the Ninty guide of copying stuff over from one MicroSD card to the other, and all of my downloaded games work just fine. I was worried it would give me issues with stuff like my Animal Crossing save.

    Man, if I lost my ACNH island; my ass would be in the other room sleeping past my birthday over how mad my wife would be over starting the island over.

    Resumed my progress on Pokemon Sword in preparation to play BDSP at Christmas. The goal is to have the base game done by Christmas and then decide if I want to play the DLC. I also plan on starting playing/clearing my Switch backlog after the Christmas holidays, and hope to clear out pretty much all of my Switch backlog sans the drawn out ones (and RPGs) before Triangle Strategy releases in March. 

    Also, we move:

    YourFavGrandpa got a reaction from Jurassic in The Megashock (Gaming) Resolutions Thread - 2022 Edition   
    The basis for the thread is simply straight-forward, consisting of New Year's Resolutions (or shit you wanna get done) in 2022.

    The emphasis for resolutions is mostly on gaming, but personal resolutions are definitely allowed. I'll start us off. 

    Resolutions for 2022:
    Beat 75% - 80% of my NSW backlog before Triangle Strategy comes out Spot a XBox Series X in the wild (and subsequently purchase it) Have everything lined up to go to Japan (planning on going in mid-January 2023) Grow my business to 10+ employees (I have two currently, three if I count myself).

    I know here in Texas, you can be declared ineligible to serve on a jury if you've been convicted of petty theft (or really theft in general e.g. shoplifting at Walmart). That's how I've not been able to serve on a jury since 1997.

    I haven't bit on the DLC yet because of work and monetary concerns. I have I think about 1/3rd of the game done so far w/Plant, Water, and Fire badges obtained by beating the collective asses of the gym leaders, not to mention Marnie and her goons 😆

    I have a pair. I took mine with me on vacation in July when I went to Florida, and they stayed attached pretty much the whole trip. Them shits are comfortable for anyone with normal size hands and above.

    It's not exactly the same, yet it's similar; because it can be viewed from either perspective. 

    Kinda like there's a difference between having money and keeping money. Ye supposedly has a billion dollar fortune ($1.8 billion according to Google), yet he bootlegs OF content from reddit. Given his "celebrity" status, and the fact that he more than likely makes more money than any of us in a lifetime picking up a penny off the ground; there has to be some inherent level of financial control he exercises. 

    Now take doing the same thing, from the perspective of being broke. Hell, that's most of us nowadays; myself included. 

    Tl;dr: Perspective (and the matter of perception) matters more than you think.
