  • A whole lot of negative replies about the Switch2, but for me it was a matter of timing. My og switch battery is failing, and I wanted to be able to play handheld or on the go again without having a huge battery pack strapped to it. So I picked up a Switch 2. I might even try attempting to replace the Switch battery now that I have a fully portable console again.

    I don’t like that you cannot turn on the Switch 2 using the Home button on a original Pro Controller. That does piss me off quite a bit because I am not shelling out the cash for a Pro Controller 2. Other than that I do like the new speed with which it can play games.










  • I am not really sold on this one, as I think they are going to lose what made Tron so special, and it was the effects. They were just mind blowing at the time, and then the effects for Tron Legacy were up there, not as mindblowing, but they seem to have done their homework. They are really going to have to work to keep up the ‘legacy’. The soundtracks for both movies were also spectacular, so another very high bar they will have to get to as well. I will keep an open mind, but am not that optimistic at this point.






  • I had two giant servers sitting under my desk when bitcoin started up. I was trying to decide whether to put them to work mining bitcoin or using them for seti at home. Well I decided to go with seti. And I am actually complacent with that decision, because had I got into bitcoin I know that I would have some sort of anxiety over when I sold, or what I paid for something like a pizza. I know those people who are searching trash dumps for their old hard drives are just in a weird hell that I am glad I never put myself in that situation.
