I seen a documentary (in Dutch) that Google wanted to track the city dwelling walking habits of well, humanity, as well as deliver people tired to paying customers that sell snacks and beverages, and that they developed the game Pokemon Go around that to make it appear less 1984, to trick people into letting their movements be tracked and psychological manipulations applied to them to harvest the data that came from it. Not cause they love you so much but to get data and algorhjythms for selling to advertizers for superior product placement.

I’ve heard all sorts of theories like that, but it doesn’t make sense to me at all.
Due to the nature of the game, any data revived would be very flawed if that’s what they are going for, parks, especially sculpture parks are basically where people play Pokémon go due to the close proximity of pokestops. (Most sculptures/ statues are pokestops, aka places you can stop by to get more items) Because of this Amy data they would find would essentially be people waking in circles for hours around parks.

I don't game as much as I used to but I mostly enjoy single-player games. I still play the fuck out of FarCry: Primal (love that game).

How does this halo: the master chief collection work? I was a huge CE and H2 player when they came out, but haven't gamed in years. I am having a knee surgery in a couple weeks = lots of couch time for a couple months after that. Can you play all the games online/multiplayer? If so, I am totally buying that.

So im pretty confused on what game Im actually playing online in Multiplayer (i think its Reach), but yeah its all the games in one place. So u got Halo 1, 2, 3, 4 and Reach Story Campains in the Single Player section. Then in the Multiplayer section, theres seemingly all the Halo games (except Halo 5) that u can select from.
Its kinda like those Arcades where theres multiple games u can select from.
Its really an awesome collection. I highly recommend getting it. And its not super graphically intense but still looks great and it runs smooth. 5 Stars.

Playing 2 games on Switch now.
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze - Really fun and beautiful game, kind of hard in some parts
Super Smash Bros. - Fun fighting game. I would like the characters to have more special moves and it would be nice if you could select from all 80 characters right away instead of unlocking them. The story part where you unlock them is kind of fun, but I would like the option to unlock them or just have them all available from the get go.
Logical Chaos, what type of controller do you use on your new PC and do you like it? I'm using the Steam controller and I like it. The only downside is that the mouse part needs more sensitivity adjustments.

Don't really find games as enjoyable as I once did, though occasionally I'll get into one.
Just finished a STALKER: Call of Pripyat playthrough with a few visual mods and a weather mod installed. Then I decided to install Shadow of Chernobyl and mod that with "Memories of the Zone". Breathed proper new life into the game and I've been enjoying one of my favorites again.
Reading Roadside Picnic and rewatching the Chernobyl HBO miniseries too, so I think there's a theme here.

I've been playing alot of league of legends again. High honor high level aram. Not only is the community much nicer in that little niche, my relationship with the game is much healthier.
LoL = lots of laughs

Single player games are ideal to me too. In the multiplayer games that I might have some interest in playing, like Arma 3 or Red Orchestra 2, there's almost never any cohesion or communication amongst the players on team, so objective-based game modes just feel like a painfully overdesigned deathmatch and mostly pointless.

fired up Pokémon Shield again for the weekend
fell down the front steps and twisted my ankle, and to keep it elevated has me at an angle that causes my controller signal to drop out on computer
so planning to listen to a bunch of D&D podcasts/youtube videos and finally manage to breed myself a shiny Eevee to evolve into Umbreon regardless of gender, will be named Terby

Damn that sucks Tantrika. Sorry about that ankle! Maybe its time for a wired power cord for your controller?
Is Terby a tribute to Toby the Cat? (RIP).

The Switch Pro controller comes with a cord for charging, but it is not long enough to acommodate in this case
have also discovered the hard way that the way my body is turned while elevating my leg also makes reading here or discord too cumbersome so check in during my bong breaks that similiarly don't work in the position 
have had some ice on it on and off for the past few hours and it seems a lot better off planning to take a nap with the cat soon, but thinking if it ends up as passed out until morning will more or less be healed
or it is broken, my judgement is horrible, and upon attempting to stand to get out of the bed in the morning will fall down from putting weight on it stay tuned!

yeah, gave him that as an endearing nickname because he was kind of derpy and drooly when he would get purring lots would typically address him with "whats up Terby Terby?"
my old cat in Montréal was named R'lyeh but when he would get all vocal and stuff, would tease him by responding

no cat will ever reveal to you their True Name tho

Their True Name is what gives them power 
We once had a cat named "Reyla". My Ex-GF named the female kitten name. Its a great name for a lady person too.

My tastes are kind of all over the map, but yes I guess you can call me a gamer.
Mostly sims, like racing/flight/space sims... But also business/tycoon/building/management sims... I even quite enjoy the actual'sims' games as well, but tend to make the entre neighborhood an extremely fucked up place to live lol.
Also loves me a good RPG or RTS..
Good open world sandbox games like GTA or red dead..
Oh.. And physics based games where I need to build things and see how they end up working in the 'field' so to speak... Been having a blast with kerbal space program for years now.
Used to be crazy into the fighting genre, then these stupid 'air juggle' combos (and just set combos in general) came around and I just don't care much for em anymore.
Not usually a fan of puzzle games in general, but if they're well done and aren't too steep, they can Be really good...
I also like games like yakuza 0.. Stoked that it just came to Xbox game pass recently
