    It doesn't have anything to do with costing money or being a gamble. It has to do with share holders and profits. Period.

    There are tons of games without micro-transactions that are amazing. You just have to choose to go that route.... which most AAA's do not since they want to milk more and more profits.

    They are doing okay. My wife struggles with this all of course. We have a baby on the way so I will at least get to see them be born and spend a little bit with them. So that’s nice.

    Dark Age of Camelot This was my jam. Spent just shy of 10,000 hours playing it back starting in 2001. Best MMO to date, no question. Nothing has come close to the PvP in this game.

    INDYCAR. F1 is just way too boring. Used to love it but years past it’s the same exact 5 folks every race with like 2 passes a race.

    NASCAR is just too damn long. If I want that punishment I’ll watch football or baseball.

    Indy is where it’s at IMO. I do enjoy all racing and will watch other stuff too…. But if I had to pick one….

    I don’t access my server from outside my network and just use a basic binhex deluge-vpn docker setup. Any issues I’ll have here?

    Currently out of town and won’t be back until after this change happens tomorrow. Curious what to expect when I'm back home.

    1 click things though absolutely have a place and are great to see on the market. I really enjoy the ability to have options.

    What issues are you having? I have EmuDeck running flawlessly on my Steam Deck since I got it with hundreds of games across tons of systems, including Switch.
