Video Games

I don’t doubt that it’s battle of the scumbags. Even notch is involved now so lol. But BILLY is clearly a narcissist cheating POS doing all the SLAPP so fuck him. He’s basically the Trump of video games.

Jobst mentioned the guy committing suicide when discussing Mitchell, but he also mentioned his history of issues iirc. Don’t think he ever made a direct link, although yeah ldo getting sued on some bs isn’t gonna be great for your mental state.

That isn’t defamation anyway unless Australia has some weird laws. How many people / companies has this guy sued now?

I fell asleep after the LB finals when I couldn’t find any value bets for the finals. Fortunately I didn’t try to bet my feelings because I wouldn’t have picked the right side.

Final score betting mostly arbable lines: 217-184, +60.5u, 5.34% ROI. I was salty at the end because I ended up with a lot on Secret v Spirit G2 and tried to hedge out with a really absurd +275 live line but got denied. Still a solid profit for watching video games for a week.

Any tips for a noob acquiring a PS5? My friend is trying to find one for his kid for Christmas obviously, and apparently its hard. Was trying to spam up a Gamestop drop but struck out.

Told him I’d ping my guys, and he was surprised I had guys for this. Makes me sad that people don’t realize that if you have UP, you have guys for EVERYTHING.

Octoshop chrome extension worked for me to ping me when stuff was coming up but I got mine back in january. There’s discords, subreddits, twitter accounts to follow, etc.

I followed a bunch of Twitter accounts that updated you when drops were imminents/happening; they seemed to be on the ball but the PS5s would still often sell out within minutes. Got one at Target several months back since they were in-store only and one out-of-way location in my city had a few in stock even ~20 minutes after it was posted.

I gave up in March. Knowing it would be a year before the chip shortage was done. Just bought one on eBay.

So glad I am not sweating a PS5 again this year. I think I have PTSD from it.

I am constantly telling my wife “I need to see if anyone on UP knows.”

Oh man, Darkest Dungeon 2 looks absolutely gorgeous so far.

couple newb questions if anyone wanted to help.

Are you able to pre-order Starfield somehow now? Is there a good reason not to if you could or when you can?

How likely would a pushback on the release date be?

Never pre order

Fallout 76

Countless others.

I’d say you can pre-order single player games that aren’t meant for online, but those are very rare.

FYP

Darkest Dungeon 2 is shaping up to be a complete disaster, despite my high hopes. So much of the gameplay that made the first one a unique management simulator has been gutted. Artwork is still incredible. It’s still in early access, but I don’t see how this game recovers its footing. good news is that it’s made me thirsty to the original masterpiece that was Darkest Dungeon.

Inscryption is GOTY so far. I watched forsen play it at launch and he was high af or something, he had no idea what he was doing. Marvellous.

The slate review says if you have even the tiniest inkling you might play it at some point to not read any reviews out there.

Im gonna take that advice and go as blindly into it as I can

Looks like it’s PC only. On Steam there appears to be a demo you can try.
