Neither. I had the lasers installed 6 years ago.

But before that, glasses for the most part. I didn't get glasses until I was in my 20s even though I probably could have used them earlier. I didn't do contacts when I was young and getting into them as an adult I never got completely used to them. I could wear them but sometimes after a while they'd irritate my eyes, or my eyes would dry out and one would pop off when I blinked randomly, etc. I liked getting different styles of frames and having fun with that aspect of glasses.

I actually kind of miss glasses, but I really don't miss needing glasses if that makes any sense.

i liked the first 4 - 5 ep...than it felt very rushed and it was hard to understand who against who and why. (also, i didnt play the game.)

The show is fan service for people who are familiar with the game and to a lesser extent, the TTRPG. The show borrows heavily from the themes and concepts from both and the visual and audio design of the former and doesn't do a lot to explain the world for people unfamiliar with the source. That said, it's fun and energetic and one of the better tie in pieces of media I've seen for a video game.

All of the above but you left off VR which I'd include as well. I lean towards different options for different experiences. Movies I mainly do on my "tv" which is a 4k laser projector. I also game on this a lot, but depending on the game I may want to play on my monitor(s) which are mini-LED HDR displays (one 4k and one ultrawide). I also tend to game on mobile when I'm chilling on the couch with my wife watching TV.

Then there's VR on top of that, which I save for VR games obviously but also to play non-VR exclusive games in VR through the use of native support or mods (No Man's Sky sometimes, Elite Dangerous sometimes, Cyberpunk 2077 with a mod, etc).

@byshop: What are the benefits of of subbing w/ Imgur and Discord?

I'll be the first to admit the "benefits" of either are frankly debatable but they are cheap compared to some of the others in that list (Abode Cloud Full is like 600 a year and Fusion isn't cheap either).

With Imgur it's a Coil membership which applies to other sites so there's cross benefit there but the main thing it does is make ads go away completely. There are other things like exclusive accolades and junk I don't care about/know nothing about.

With Discord the main one is it significantly increases the attachment cap so I can paste pictures and even short clips directly into chat without having to go through a bunch of hoops first. I do that frequently so it made using Discord a lot easier for me.

RDR2 and its shrinking horse testicles was also the first thing that sprang to mind.

TLoU 1 and especially 2 are insanely detailed in terms of their environments. Naughty Dog must have an army of artists working on those games because I don't remember seeing re-used art assets in either of those games in spite of how many decrepit houses you have to explore.

I have a massive collection of old gaming mags going back to EGM issue 2 or 3 (the one with Fabio on the cover) and whatever the one other gaming mag from that era was but I'm not aware of any magazines I can easily go out and buy today.

1664 Steam games at the moment. Still have over all my physical PS2 games which is probably 100-150. Still have all my original Dreamcast games which is probably around 50 or so. I kept all my 360 games but I unloaded most of my original Xbox games. Not sure about how many on Origin. I also have 274 on...

the Epic Game Store.

@SolidGame_basic: Looks like the same engine as that Star Wars bounty hunter game.
