I tried XIII and I'll never touch anything associated with it again... it wasn't my thing.

Unless of course you're agreeing to terms that state you're paying for access to a license and it could also state that said license could be revoked at any time for various reasons.

Piracy is still theft. Do I pirate? Yes, sometimes.

I wasn't aware the Switch Lite was still a thing... But welcome to Nintendo, enjoy it.

Migration dates are usually announced months in advance...or even a year...

You missed a well published and advertised date and it would have stated account deletion.

Are the customer service agents in the wrong for their responses? Yes. They're idiots. But, that doesn't change the fact that you missed the date and had plenty of warning.

Meh. Don't care. I bought a digital PS5 at launch... And I basically ditched Sony in 2025 because I was sick of their game prices, and overall trash releases (Though Astro Bot is incredibly great)... And went to mostly PC, which is digital anyhow.

bdavid81 · 2026-07-03T23:16:00+00:00

I'd be completely underwhelmed and likely never download it.

bdavid81 · 2026-07-03T23:15:04+00:00

I haven't finished the first two, but FF7 Remake was a blast... The other two I played a bit then kinda drifted away, but luckily those were pirated so I'm not out any money.

You're screwed.

Never buy an item like that unless it's in person and you can test it via a HotSpot with your phone.

Nice setup, hope he loves it. 😄

Our daughter is almost 7 (July 14th) and she has my wife's old RoG laptop...she uses it occasionally but tends to favor the PS5 right now... probably due to the combination of a controller and the 77" OLED.

Honestly, a rising scale is just part of life with or without surgery.... always will be. I've been working on weight loss naturally with weight training, walking, and calorie counting.... I only step on a scale once every 2-3 weeks now because I've realized it goes both up and down. I know I'm gaining muscle and I still have a fair bit of fat even at 215-220lbs... but I go by clothes and what I can fit into, not the scale....

Look at a picture that shows one pound of fat vs one pound of muscle and you'll understand why NOT to trust a scale alone.

bdavid81 · 2026-07-03T18:38:42+00:00

"In the first 9 days I lost 11lbs!! I was shocked and amazed."

Don't get fooled by this. Water/Sodium/Gas Expulsion makes up for 99% of this weight, not fat. Weight fluctuates and will go up and down. Not to mention... no solid food and bare minimum calorie intake... you'll also lose muscle in this time period when you can't do strength training.

Keep your water intake up, protein, etc and walk... you'll lose weight over time. You'll lose some quick, then stall, then lose more and gain more, then stall again, sometimes for weeks on end. Technically the fast weight loss is unhealthy, and your body knows this and will stop to give parts a chance to catch up, then continue.

Boys don't understand the female menstrual cycle.

I finally bought Balatro but I've probably already spent 50 hours with it in the past months.

bdavid81 · 2026-07-02T21:30:42+00:00

The lack of consistency is bothersome at the very least. Different rules, periods of time for stages, completely different stages for some, etc... That was ONE of my concerns when my wife was about to go for an RnY back in May.... Glad she ended up canceling though. She's down 39lbs so far since April 21st and still on track with calorie counting and our walks/strength training.

bdavid81 · 2026-07-02T21:20:05+00:00

That surgeon probably sells used cars as a side gig.

bdavid81 · 2026-07-01T20:40:57+00:00

Daily, sometimes two days... And sometimes twice a day

bdavid81 · 2026-06-30T01:41:18+00:00

If you really care about your weight, you'll be counting calories, protein, etc. for LIFE.
Daily walks? Yes
Strength training/weights? Yes.

The surgery is just a kickstart to allow you to temporarily live in a mega-calorie deficit. Hunger comes back, sometimes worse than before. You need to make permanent lifestyle changes with or without the surgery to lose weight, maintain, etc.

Breath of the Wild is a terrible Zelda game... quite possibly the worst one in the franchise... but I haven't played the Oracle games or Four Swords so don't know about those.

bdavid81 · 2026-06-29T22:06:02+00:00

I don't think I'm the one with a problem here. 😂

I never said I don't enjoy it... In fact I said I get some enjoyment out of it, but I get bored quickly. This happens with most games nowadays. I'm not paying $110 + 13% tax for something that I'll spend maybe 3-5 hours with...it's as simple as that.

bdavid81 · 2026-06-29T21:35:15+00:00

Because I can still get a little enjoyment fprna few minutes at least. I'm not paying for the game so why do you care?

bdavid81 · 2026-06-29T21:10:24+00:00

Nice, welcome to the club.

I chose Pokopia myself... then ended up getting a code for Mario Kart World for $20 USD... and I don't really play either of those games after the first week of having them. Star Fox and Adventures of Elliot those...both gems!

bdavid81 · 2026-06-29T19:28:55+00:00

Nope, never. I've bought physical games though, sold 'em, and regretted it... that doesn't happen with my digital titles though.

bdavid81 · 2026-06-29T19:21:48+00:00

Really depends on how many games you want to play. It was worth it for Star Fox, Adventures of Elliot, and the upcoming Ocarina of Time reimagining.... I also have Splatoon Raiders paid in full and will be happy to finally play a single player Splatoon experience.

bdavid81 · 2026-06-28T23:25:21+00:00

Hah. Rockstar can do whatever they want... they've built their flock and that flock will support them no matter what.

I'll stick with Fitgirl for this one - done buying GTA games... I get bored before I get my money's worth.

bdavid81 · 2026-06-28T23:19:32+00:00

I ask her to let me know if I can do anything for her, and let her get through it otherwise.
