Once again after more tweaking and organizing, I am really enjoying the look and feel of Windows 11 on our main Desktop PC. AMD Ryzen 5 1500X Quad-Core Processor, 16GB, GTX 1060 6GB, Windows 11 Pro 😎🤘

GTA IV is actually more "tamed" than 3 was. I haven't beat it but what I have played of it I enjoyed. If you like GTA then definitely keep an eye out for any Saint's Row games. 3, 4, and Gat out of Hell are the better ones in the series. And I would recommend GTA 5 if you liked 4.
Of course, if you like driving games, there's some sort of law that says you can't have a PlayStation without picking up Gran Turismo. I had GT5 and was blown away! I have ModNation Racers. It's kind of along the lines of Mario Kart except you can build your own race tracks. You use to be able to share your creations online but I think Sony shut those servers down. I had a blast with that one as well.
I tried a demo to Uncharted once. It was fun but I never had a PS3 long enough to get those. I wanted to try The Last of Us because it looked like it would be good but I missed it. Yep...the PS3 when I had one was a great console. I only went with XBOX 360 because when I tried to get another PS3 (while they were still in production) no one had one locally. All I could find was a 360.

I have Black Flag on PC and 360. I had to stop using the 360 version because during an autosave the game locked up and has kept my Live account from playing the game again and I've never figured out how to fix it. GTA IV is not bad either but the constant haze in the game is a bit annoying to me. It doesn't look as clear as those before or after it.
Those slim models are nice units. If your HDMI plug is poor (about to fall off) then that poor thing has had a rough life. Those can be soldered back in place but I lack the tools to do it or I would offer my assistance.
Yes. The AV port on the PS3 is the same one Sony has used on later model PS1 and all PS2 units. The only issue is with a standard AV you won't get the quality picture you are getting at 1080i. 1080i is not a big deal. It's just interlaced instead of progressive.
160 GB HDD is not bad. That should be enough for the game saves and anything else you throw at it. I had one of the original models for a few months. Replaced the hard drive with a larger one (80 GB wasn't enough). Sold it pay off a bill I thought was due when it wasn't. I miss that thing. At least Sony has kept the PS3 store open.
If you ever feel "brave" and if they are still there, Sony held a show series called Testers that the PS3 could download and play. They were a competition between gamers where the winner got a job at Sony being a game tester. Interesting show. As far as I know it was only available on the PS3. I know of 2 seasons of the show...I don't if there were any more than that.

My guilty pleasure BAD BEER 😏 Let me be perfectly clear friends....IT IS NOT A "GOOD" BEER, I am very aware of this 😝THAT SAID, IT IS CHEAP and I will consume it for a quick BUZZ. Prefer Innis & Gunn or Guinness or Grolsch or pretty much any PORT or STOUT. I will definitely take it over a BUD or Coors or any light ass Beer. 😆

I won't eat pizza any other way. Pepperoni and Pineapple on mine any day. They really go great together. Domino's Hawaiian Pizza? The bomb.

Who can guess what's in the box? Hint: not floppy disks.

Wondering if I did something wrong on here.🤔 I posted something only for it to be hidden and needing moderator approval. I'm confused.

I guess it's confession time.
I've never told anyone about this before because I felt a little embarrassed about it, but ever since Algebra class last year, I've had a crush on this girl who was at the same table as I. We used to laugh and fool around and have all the fun. I have no idea how I even passed that class. We messed around the entire period every single day.
I've never quite felt this way before, and I've kept it completely to myself for the last year. This was one of the tougher parts of the pandemic for me, as silly as that sounds. We've kept in touch the whole time, though it really isn't the same. I was always scared of asking her out at the time because I was scared of rejection, though I was pretty sure she liked me back. I think that it's damn time I do something about it all, virus permitting. Even if I do get friendzoned or something, I would have at least put myself out there. Nothing will come of sitting here wishing for things.
I figure just talking about it would probably help me feel better about it. Like I said, I haven't said a word to anybody about this. Talking about it to another person will probably help me feel a bit more confident about it all. Sorry for the excessive blabbering about high school garbage like this.

This sort of reminds me of myself. I had a crush on this one girl in high school. I'd talk to her and stuff but that was it. I never asked her anything and she never asked me. I found out later in life that she had a crush on me as well and was too afraid to ask just like I was. Missed opportunity? Who knows. I'm happy where I'm at in life right now, I have no regrets, but I also have that small bit of curiosity.

Congrats! I spent my very first paycheck on my Mother and got myself a 2600 junior with a few games. Celebrating that first paycheck is expected.
A bit of advice. After your first paycheck, whatever you decide to do with it, subtract 20% of your take home pay. Stick that 20% you subtracted in your pocket, save the rest. That 20% is to pay yourself and you should always pay yourself first. If 20% is too much then find another lower percentage that works best for you.

I got a pretty neat birthday gift from one of my kids. A new Timex Pac Man watch.
I need to adjust the watch band to fit my noodle arm. And maybe read the manual to learn if it has any special features.

FINALLY after like a year, cut my hair....I didn't go anywhere, got nice Remington hair clippers, didn't even use an attachment, did it all myself with the bare clippers right down, all even, took like maybe 10 minutes?
OMG FEELS SOOOO MUCH BETTER! ALL THAT HAIR fit in a single little sandwich baggy, funny how hair compresses like that. Now that I have the clippers though I do not plan to EVER let it get that long again! My wife loves my hair like this.....she says Hi....

I purchased a Mattel Electronics Battlestar Galactica Space Alert on eBay. It's dirty, but it works! I'm very excited to have it, as this is one I remember so fondly from my childhood.I do need some help, though. There's no way I'm getting that tape off the back without ruining the instructions sticker. Does anyone know where to find a scan of that sticker? My hope is to print it on my inkjet printer and glue it on. Also in need of a 3D printed battery cover if anyone knows a source for those.THANKS!
