    I built a new gaming machine for my boys last night. Ryzen 5 1600 overclocked to 4GHz, Nvidia 1060 6GB. Pretty slick for a budget build.

    How about English for us regular folk

    Is this a joke about Battlefront and their insane use of loot boxes???

    Yes.

    Edit to add: The best one I've seen so far.

    Who wants to help me teach my 8 year old how to play Pokemon? Or like, which games to even buy (there's different colors...what does that mean?) on the Nintendo 3DS. We tried to watch a youtube video of a junior championship match but none of us could figure out exactly what was even happening. Relevant links are appreciated!


    Any takers? I'll trade you a few replicator rations!!

    Still need help? Pokemon is my thing (one of many).
    I TURNED MYSELF INTO A PICKLE MORTY!!! IM PICKLE RICK!!!!

    Anybody else excited for the Punisher on Netflix?

    Yesssssss!
    ...especially after the letdown of "Iron Fist", but I had to watch that to prep for "The Defenders". "The Punisher" will hopefully bridge the gap until premier of "Daredevil" season 3.

    Iron First was kinda bad to start but really grew on me! Can't wait for Punisher and Daredevil!

    Yes, this. It was slow, but it ended up being better toward the end. Probably not as action packed as some people would have liked, though.

    I guess you haven't heard about loot boxes and microtransactions yet.

    It takes over 4500 hours (187 Days and 12 Hours) of play, or $2100 to unlock all content in Star Wars: Battlefront 2, according to player estimates.

    It's only a full time job for two years

    Or the cost of an engagement ring, which nobody who is playing it will need anyway

    Hey now! Lots of nerdy ppl get engaged

    But not the ones playing Star Wars Battlefront II is his point. They are spending all their spare time or money on the game.

    Well no one is saying you have to unlock every single skin in the game...

    Or invest 1/2 your waking life on playing it either...

    It's totally possible to buy it, play with my kid when I'm off and live a normal life....

    I'm talking about buying a video game here, not taking up crack lol

    I had a good laugh over that when my husband and I were discussing this. I mean, I love games like Skyrim and FF, but there isn't any way in hell I'd spend that much money or time on something. Skyrim already sucked away enough of my life.

    The problem is me. I also can't stop reading books or watching movies if I've started.

    And this is why I am still slogging through Under the Dome and sat through reading every Twilight book. Every. Single. One.

    Again, I don't think you've heard of loot boxes or microtransactions.

    Recently, early access Battlefront 2 players have been doing the math about the current heroes in the game that you need to unlock with Credits.

    While the game offers a selection you can use from the outside, adding new heroes like Vader or Luke to your roster currently costs 60,000 Credits each.

    To put that in context, at 11 minutes per game and about 275 Credits earned a match, that works out to forty hours of game time to unlock one hero. And that means you can’t spend your Credits on anything else including loot boxes.
