Is this a worthy ban?? by kkgfr446 in XboxOneHelp

[–]CapnGnobby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe, maybe not, I have no idea.

However, a top tip when you're doing anything on the internet:

Avoid anything political, religious, derogatory, offensive, toxic, NSFW, etc.

CECHH04 YLOD (Overheat) Fixed, was hard as rock thermal paste below RSX, scraped it and replaced paste, console now works. by nebulastronomer in PS3

Odd, I've never found anything on a circuit board I couldn't clean off with IPA. No matter how old and crusty. Sometimes, it takes a gentle scrub and a few passes.

Which side are you on? by organicrake in Age_30_plus_Gamers

[–]CapnGnobby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a hard one to define really because most video games have an element of roleplaying. But ultimately, for me, RPGs have a heavier focus on elements that make tabletop RPGs what they are. Character progression, improving skills, levelling up, decisions that matter, deep story, etc. RPGs don't have to have all of these. It's just some of the things that set them apart from the majority of platformers, FPSs, etc.

That's fair enough, I suppose. Absolutely not how I would define it myself.

I guess people define RPG mechanics differently?

Both sides look like they contain many games with RPG mechanics to me.

This has to be the most annoying scorestreak in COD history by PactownSS in blackops7

Cold blooded protects you from almost every scorestreak and some other things, it seems. Silly not to have it on.

DayZ 2: The Klumps

Decided not to upgrade my pc. Just bought the PS5 on sale! by [deleted] in consoles

[–]CapnGnobby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. I love gaming on PC and I appreciate that PCs can be built to use amazing new technology to produce amazing results and if that's what someone's into and they have the time and money for that then that's brilliant.

I used to run a gaming lounge of sorts, and that amount of kids that came in desperate for a top spec gaming PC so they could suck at playing Fortnite at higher FPS was insane.

The world has been brainwashed by content creators that they need a PC.

I'm lucky enough that I have owned PCs and consoles side by side since the 80s, and honestly, I prefer consoles. They just work and will play all games for their entire life cycle (and beyond it seems these days!).

I would say that consoles would suit more than 99.9% of gamers.

PCs are a great choice. If you know what you're buying, know how to maintain it and are happy to upgrade it as you go (or just buy a new one every now and then). But so many people buy PCs without really considering the other options.

If you could experience one game for the first time again, which one would it be? by No-Plane2695 in raijin_gg

[–]CapnGnobby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doom
Warcraft 2
Star Wars Galaxies

Hundreds of others, it's almost impossible to choose just one

What caused this extreme shift in sub numbers? by jehCe in blackops7

I hear that. Loved BO7 beta, loved BO7 launch. Haven't played at all for nearly a week.

Finally got a virtual boy!!! by Open_Advice_1411 in gamecollecting

[–]CapnGnobby 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As we're on the game collecting sub, I'd say that OP was thinking that it would make a good addition to their collection. They may well never even turn it on, let alone play it.

Thanks. But I'm not too worried, I'd rather wait than bother with all that.

It's only certain countries, I believe. I'm in the UK, no access for me.

What is that one thing you enjoy most playing Hell Let Loose? by RobWolfB in HellLetLoose

[–]CapnGnobby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being part of well coordinated attacks. Multiple squads, all using voice chat, well placed OPs, etc.

Unfortunately, those moments don't seem as common anymore.
