    golly gee willickers, chess is a tough game........................... let's play again soon :D

    Haha yeah, game makes my brain into a pretzel. I'm off for another 2 weeks so I got all the time in the world :D

    I'll send you a long term game too. Sort of like those games where you leave a board on the desk and whenever a co-worker walked by they would take a move.

    I saw some post somewhere saying this game only went out of pre-production a year or so ago. Is that true?

    If Sony does what MS did with the xbone I would love that! All I want is a way to play my old games without having to go into storage and using a bunch of cable converters or buying them again.

    I've got this gem sitting next to me and I'm so close to hooking up my PS2 :D

    Isn’t this necessary to make you pay for the subscription to play older games?

    Also this could come down the line as a sw update?

    You are probably right. The thing is I have a huge shelf of ps1/ps2/ps3 games I'd like to play without having to setup the old systems. I don't want to pay for this. ESPECIALLY if it's a streaming solution, I don't want to introduce input lag.

    My understanding is that xboxone allows this. I worry Sony is getting arrogant again with this stuff and MS is a scrappy hungry fighter.

    I guess this is the most appropriate thread for this stuff. I've been doing some stuff where I generate 3d art/animation via computer algorithm and then I add some music. Basically a demo if you are familiar with those things.

    Here's a few :

    I would have loved this. I would pay a premium for some kind of special ultimate ps5 too. Sounds like the new playstation head wants to bury old games though :(

    So I decided to leave the medical tech industry a few months back and take some time off. I was a little burned out working at a startup and have had an unprecedented amount of family and friend deaths in the last year (covid/suicide) I just needed a break so I could stop treading water trying to deal with all this stuff.

    It's been pretty nice and I've finally had time to do stuff like read non-academic books, playing video games, studying math and going to school for Japanese. I'm also getting a lot more exercise. Even entered a game jam for the first time in 4 years. Finally I started tinkering with Unity. I used unity about 8 years ago and wasn't much of a fan of it but I decided to give it another go and it's come a long way.

    Thinking about getting a license for Houdini, I used it a couple years ago and absolutely loved it. It's been well over 10 years now since I started programming and not doing art/design every day and it's so cool to see how all the 3d tools have advanced.

    Anyways I'll be re-joining the games industry again in a few weeks. All good things must come to an end :D

    Risk of Rain 2 is so fucking good. It's one of those games that makes me immediately want to go make games afterwards. It's pure game. So gamey! The gamiest!!

    Just beat Nioh2 and am considering trying to get platinum on it.

    In the mean time I've started playing monster hunter world and tony hawk.

    Man I suck at tony hawk now but the game is great! A well done remake :)

    As for monster hunter. The game is gorgeous and it's quite interesting but I'm not sure I want to make the monster hunter commitment.

    Ultimate Mahvel vs Capcom 3 baby!

    Ever since corona virus most fighting game tournaments aren't happening. As a result all the high level sponsored players are choosing to play the games they enjoy the most (rather than the newest ones with the prizes) and that has lead to a HUGE resurgence of people playing UMVC3 online.

    It takes me on average 1-3 seconds to find a decent connection match! That's way better than pretty much any modern fighting game I've been playing!

    I love this game so much. I've been playing it since 2012 and I still suck but I love the game.

    There is no other fighting game I can think of where I'm STILL seeing people come up with new tech all the time. The Dr Doom combo in the below video I've only ever seen executed ONCE and I have watched probably thousands of hours of marvel tournaments (it's great to watch on the treadmill).
