Community server TF2 was the absolute peak of game-playing in my life. I was laid off from a job in the late ‘00s and just played on a server with a bunch of people I loved for 40+ hours a week. I found a shady key guy I would send money to and he’d give me keys for a buck a pop. Got an unusual towering pillar that eventually bought me an index, a million years later.

Love that game.

Yeah that’s very strange. The 1080ti still holds up super well!

What’s in your rig? I’m on a 9900k, 3070ti, 32GB RAM, and a nice SSD and I get 50-80FPS on high…

I’m currently watching YouTube on LibreWolf and have been all day. I’m on Windows 10, though. Our Linux box has been playing vids all day too, but that’s Firefox+uBlock.

I have a complete set of base through Fossil, with lots of first editions! I have no idea what they’re worth, but I could never part with them.

I feel so lucky, it came out right around when I was Ash’s age!

That’s the opposite of me… when I was in my early 20s and worked retail, a lady at my store saw my Pokémon hoodie and was like “my kids outgrew Pokémon, do you wanna buy their stuff for cheap?”

I go over there and there’s four containers (two of them Pokémon themed backpacks) full of minis, plushies, and more. I asked her how much and she’s like “ehhh fifty bucks?” I have never said yes so quickly in my life.

As I’m leaving, she’s like “oh do you want their cards for another forty?” And busts out three albums, complete sets of base, jungle, and fossil, with some other sets at the end. Base set had a bunch of first editions (not Charizard, unfortunately… just regular foil.)

I still have everything she sold me, 18 years later. I dunno if I can ever sell them.

Huh. Maybe I check it out again.

I forgot I bought Wilds… I put 200-400+ hours in every game since the first PSP game, and I think I have 40 hours in Wilds.

I don’t know why… it just didn’t… do it for me? I still bought it, I guess. Maybe it’s worth revisiting. It performed fine on my computer, but I didn’t love how it didn’t have a hub world.

I don’t think so. I just didn’t like the texture and taste, it wasn’t rotten or anything. It just wasn’t for me.

I loooove Uni! Soooo sea-tasting. It flavors all the sushi I eat after it, too!

Ooooo thanks for this! I played when it came out, but haven’t played in a year and some months. I’ll have to pick it back up and start over!

My partner thought “SMH” meant “so much hate”, and “SMDH” meant “so much damn hate”. It worked perfectly in every situation they heard it in. I taught them the real meaning when I realized this about a half decade into dating.
