All I've been playing recently has been Satisfactory....can't get enough of it!

What game?
And if it's just satisfactory, why do you keep playing it?

So true. Addictive personalities will find something to be addicted to.

Lol, its in early access now on the Epic Games Launcher. Its called Satisfactory. You are an explorer for a company and you build a factory on a plant using resources etc.

Digging around in the basement, found at least the first 12 issues of Nintendo Power, great condition.

So many old gaming magazines down there I need to catalog... Might look for a way to display these on my office wall.

Discs are close to only be relevant as DRM these days. Most games once installed immediately download a huge update file anyway.

Ouch.

Yep....just built the PC too

Mortal Kombat 11 is apparently designed to require players to pay money for in-game progression. Apparently you get to a part where it's "literally impossible" to beat without certain items that take either many hours to grind, or you can just buy them.

When people get smart and quit buying crap games like that, they will stop trying to sell them.
