    The most annoying part about talking myself into/ out of a PS4...

    Do I get a PS4 Pro? My TV is a 720p plasma that looks absolutely gorgeous, so it's not like I'll be taxing even a regular PS4.. but if there is a significant framerate boost with the PS4 when not doing super high resolution output.. well, is the future-proofing worth $100 extra?

    I wonder what the narrative arc for stranger things 2 will be

    I assume
    follow on with eleven, follow on with whatever deal the cop made with the sinister gov't agency, and follow on with the taint from the other side coming back in that little boy

    ?
    I thought the deal was that he'd go in and try and end it for them (since they weren't about to send any more dudes in there after what happened to the last guy). He also gave up the location of eleven (hiding in the school) as part of the deal I think? I didn't recall that as a loose end.
    oh I thought we didn't have the details of the deal

    like yeah they let him go in instead, but what did he give up in return

    but maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention to remember it months later

    still stranger things spoilers
    i don't think he gave her up, we just see him making some kind of a deal and then learn he knows where she is when he leaves the lunchbox in the woods for her
    more stranger things spoilers
    you definitely have scene order wrong. that happens after eleven self-sacrifices- i read it as hopper keeping a grave / hope that she's still alive in the upside down, although I suppose you could read it differently. but that definitely wasn't how they found out that Elevne was at the school

    Shameful pursuits and utterly stupid opinions

    The framerates are good. But Nioh for instance has normal ps4 at 720p and 60 frames. PS4 pro can do 1080x60 or 4kx30.

    You should probably upgrade that TV at some point.

    The first episode of Stranger Things scared the piss out of me

    Querry and I watched some of it together-apart (via skype), then decided to do it together because it was creepy, but the level of creepiness dropped off by a huge percent right at that particular episode and we felt dumb.

    No do not buy a pro if you cant even hit 1080p

    The answer was definitely No a few weeks ago, but since they announced (released?) that feature which provides improvement even to games that don't specifically patch in a Pro version, is that still the consensus? I haven't done the new research on that.

    The Playstation 4 exclusive library is finally hitting that point of critical mass I think. I'd buy one for sure now, if I didn't already have one.

    I sorely regret not getting one during black friday

    I had the money, I had the desire, I had the requisite obscene sale opportunities

    And I threw it all away - for what, two nights' worth of some overly-talkative cocaine addict coming over to suckle on my teats? Was it worth it, December Edward?

    Don't answer that, me

    If so, shouldn't SiG have been informed before publicly declaring a recycle? Elki already shortened it once for this very iteration, to do it twice over the action of another administration official....

    I am finally playing Slumbering Hounds

    It is a good game.

    I was genuinely surprised when
    I went on a date with Tiffany, did a bunch of side missions, then progressed the main story, met Not-Ping, who gave me her number. Then went on a date with Not-Ping because I thought like the Amanda thing, the date with Tiffany was a one-off that went nowhere. After that, the game gives me a side mission where a bro tells Wei that Tiffany has been stepping out on him with another dude and Wei is mad about it?

    And I'm like oh, the game is just kinda dumb about the fact that I have already dated another girl, like its not tracking that, ugh fine whatever.

    But then instead of dumping or confronting Tiffany, Wei gets weirdly possessive and bugs a phone and follows her to catch her in the act and it's super fucked and I'm like video game come on.

    But it swings it all around, because Tiffany calls you out on being a hypocrite asshole, calls you out on banging Not-Ping on the side, and tells you to fuck off when you try to apologize and get back together after you've been a possessive asshole weirdo.

    A+
