Of course not everything, but the top 15-20 games a year isnt to far out for people doing this for a living. Which is what you would be arguing over in a game of a generation thread.
But it's not an argument. It's an embracement of the hobby we love and isn't that what really matters? We're doing this to share with one another how much we love this hobby and particular learn from one another which each of these games mean for each one of us.


I used to love gaming side, it was the reason I joined Gaf. Now though everyone is ready to dissect a post as some sort of hidden agenda or some type of fanboyism rather than it being your own valid opinion. People love to blindly support a manufacturer so much that pointing out any actual short comings gets immediately discredited.

I mainly just lurk there now.
But where is any of that present in the thread?
 
Who in here outside Grand Empress of Receipts Sch1sm has a last.fm page?

Just looked at my top ten most listened tracks and yeesh

Only two songs in there not made in this decade, I'm falling the fuck off.

LL being #1 is not a shocker.

And that Pebbles record is catchy, idgaf.

Paying for Hulu means we don't ever get a better deal. It's all network tv, which by and large (of course there are exceptions) is free if you just tune in, or can record it. Outside of the US, it makes sense I guess. Work those trials, and save them shits for when the show you want to watch finishes the season and then go in!

I only have dedicated time to certain shows. Ain't got dvr anymore after the price kept jumping up. Only thing I watch on the locals is SHIELD..everything else is on my free HBO which comes with the net. I'll catch it later, I suppose..
 
New Thread = Dark theme and 100pp
Trumps America ya'll


Too rich for my blood..I pay for enough streaming shit.

No lies detected. I need to cut back on something honestly. I just got rid of gamefly and my netflix account, because there was no point in a couple each having their own.

Thinking of dropping Hulu next if none of these shows pans out.

Currently added Black sails, The handmaid's tale and Timeless.

I'll report back soon enough

Yall talking about Master of None yet?

Show's too good.

Shit theres too much to watch now
 

I find that if you hang with folks actually gaming, which many of us do together weekly, you'd hear more conversations about gaming. Shit..back when the last Zelda dropped recently, most were playing in between rounds of SFV and discussing thier adventures. Others spoke on Horizon and other games, like Neir or Let it Die, which plenty of us were invested in.

I'm guessing you just miss when the convos are going on, but they happen plenty around here. It is a gaming forum, after all..

I deactivate my Netflix like I cut of the lights when I leave the house. Why pay for it when you aren't using it is my thing.
 
Netflix is shit in the UK, apart from the Marvel stuff. Netflix can't compete with Sky and Amazon here.

Not clear on the differences. I pay for Netflix for their original stuff..Amazon for the two day delivery, but their original shit on Prime has been more solid than not, so I can't say I'm complaining. Also have an Echo, so the music bits work for my wife/daughter.

That's basically how I roll. If there's a benefit for more than one of us, I'm down to pay the extra scratch. Otherwise, nah..

Makes sense, tho I've never been compelled..always something there for me or my family.

In your case it totally makes sense. my account has only my interests to cater to.


On the subject of gaming discussions, like G said, they happen where the games happen.
If you aren't playing anything, or go where the people that are playing them then you miss them.
I've personally been cutting through a lot of titles recently. I also know that there are minefields around criticizing those same titles before and after the fact of my completing them. There are no conversations worth having when you know where the defense forces are waiting. It's a waste of time, and never elevating the level of discourse, and always dismissive of your experience.
 

Felt this way a couple of times especially this season, still watched it all in a weekend though. Shit's too realistic (that's a compliment).

Netflix has more than I'll ever watch and probably the best value out of any service I've used. Don't need cable when I can watch most stuff on Global or City or something. Netflix, Twitch and NBA League Pass are all I need

I mean, between you and Shy alone, I hear about all kinds of games I ain't really fucking with, but y'all have your conversations on them. Again, if you actually game with us, you'll hear more than just horse jokes and chicken fanfic..

We don't get the Disney stuff as Sky has that, we also don't get many of the shows you get on Netflix as Sky has that as well. Amazon is trying to compete with Sky so buys up a lot of the other American shows ( American Gods etc). But really nothing can compete with Sky it has the monopoly here. Sky even gets shows that are meant to be exclusive to Netflix.

Sky plays them UFC fights over the air too, right? Shit..monopoly indeed. Must be nice..

Exactly. Conversations and dissections are happening. It's an opt in kind of thing, because no one has the time or the fucks to give to those that want to express loudly that they want to opt out, or just need to object for objections sake.

I'll cosign..

Not really.

Because for example. People on Virgin don't get Sky Atlantic. (which has the exclusive contract for all HBO shows)
Yep and boxing and all the football (American and English).

So I'm right/wrong? lol

RIP, old man..fantastic actor.

British tv is confusing. i remember when there were just four channels. FOUR!!!

I hate their 6 episode seasons. WHY!?

Talk to your people..
 
Ohh. Yeah. LMAO.

It's a documentary about Trump's America a few years from now. ;P
I actually find it really disturbing, because we're so close to that shit. IMHO.

It's only five episodes so it won't take you long to get through, too.

Well lardy dah. :D

You what, that explains it. I get this show now.
 
You're right, but it isn't a good thing. Sky then rent their channels to other providers (Virgin, BT etc) but keep the exclusives. So Sky has the monopoly so can charge what they want.

Oh, I hear you. It's just killer was talking funny, is all

Ohhh, i misunderstood. Sorry.

You are right.

Had me questioning myself. Then, I remembered..

You don't know much..
Quiet you.

Rod and Karen made a lot of good points about religion and rap and the people who listen to music

Kendrick made an album about his fear of God and religion and life as a whole
Kanye made an album basically saying God gonna love me despite all my shit
Chance made an album celebrating God

and some people hate it because they talkin bout religion. It's been interesting to notice, people acting like people celebrating or talking about their personal experiences with religion will negatively impact the listener

Brother..you ain't catching jokes now? Correlation? You're better than this lol..I'll give the drinking as a pass, pendejo..

I got the PiP reference. My knee jerk reaction just wouldn't sit still. I was going to see myself out, you know. BUT this lady dressed all in pink told me that the bar was open....
 
Or some just hate the people delivering the message.
