Topic: The Chit Chat Thread

@Rudy_Manchego Which video was it, I may give it a watch.

Also, do you post on Patreon? I think I saw one of yours posts on a Pretty Good Gaming topic.

@Rudy_Manchego Good to know!

@JohnnyShoulder Hey, yeah I do. Been a Patreon support of PGG since they first launched it I guess. Had a few questions read out on the podcast here and there and met Mike and Liam randomly at EGX last year. I occasionally go on their discord. Really gutted about the current situation on the channel.

As for the video:

@Rudy_Manchego Cheers for sharing the vid.

Yeah its crap what has happened at PGG, hopefully Gaz will be able to keep it all going.

@JohnnyShoulder I hope so and I hope Mike, Liam and Jake go on to do their own thing as well. I enjoy a lot of their content.

Scheduled a doctor's appointment about my suspected Carpal Tunnel. My arms are killing me today after playing Kingdom Hearts, had to turn it off.

@AdamantiumClaws Hope you get some good news!

Apparently playing the Switch is almost unbearable for people with Carpal Tunnel.

Thanks man.

Really, do you know why? I was hoping to get one for my birthday.

@JohnnyShoulder @AdamantiumClaws That's probably only the case in hand-held mode, right? I don't have carpal tunnel, but having read about it this week, I can imagine holding the joycons attached isn't a good position for your hands.

I think you're probably fine in front of a TV and with the controllers detached, though. I'm no doctor of course, but it looks to me that if you can play PS4, you can play Switch on the telly with a Pro controller or the joycons detached.

That reminds me, how is rumble with carpal tunnel?

@JohnnyShoulder what happened at PGG, i watch there videos every now and again and i enjoy them but i haven't heard of anything happening

@FullbringIchigo Gaz had let Jake and Liam go cos of spiralling costs. Then Mike handed in his notice as he wanted to do his own thing.

So Gaz was on his own for a bit but now has freelancers in to help him.

I'm a bit behind on their vids but he is posting updates on Pateron every few days.

I've never had any issues with rumble, it's pretty fun. And yeah my main playstyle for the switch will be with pro controller so I'll probably be fine.

What's wrong with the PS HITS games?
It looks like they haven't pressed some of them, for example Yakuza 0 which is downloadable on the PS Store, labeled as PS Hits, while its retail version is not available...

@andreoni79 a quick look and it’s available on the amazon uk store.

@Thrillho Then it's a problem only here in Italy. Amazon and other retailers sell the original Yakuza O for € 32 but the PS HITS version is missing...

@andreoni79 I’m pretty sure I saw Y0 Hits version at GameStop here in the States. But some of the other Hits series I’m pretty sure I haven’t seen out in the wild yet.

So I did something stupid today.
I got thinking about all the great games I want to play that are coming out soon, or that recently came out. I guess I was prompted by reading the Divinity Original Sin 2 review and I really have my interest piqued. But I thought to myself that no, I just simply can’t add another 100 hr game to my backlog. So it prompted me to look at my backlog. And I also looked over the list of games I already plan to buy in the next 6 months.
Then I started doing some math.
With the use of howlongtobeat.com and by my own estimates, I added the total hours of gaming that I have in my backlog. Then I added the total hours in estimation of the games on my future purchase list.
So my backlog is about 1,014 hours of game time.
The games I plan to own in the next 6 months I estimate to be about 600 hours of game time. (A very rough estimate, I realize. Red Dead 2 in 50 hours? That’s probably optimistic)
So the grand total is 1,614 hours of gaming. That’s 67 Days. Or if I game an average of 6 hours everyday - it will take 270 days.

Sony, please delay the PS5. I beg you.

@Th3solution Well that was stupid!

I'm actually resigned to knowing that I'll never get through my backlog - and also that I likely won't be getting a PS5 (of course, I say that now...).

@KALofKRYPTON If PS5 is backwards compatible, then I will probably buy it at launch. If not, then I reckon by my calculations I’ll still have plenty of PS4 games to play through first.

@Th3solution Same here - my PS4 backlog is huge and launch console line ups are often bare. If PS5 is b/c then I would be far more likely to jump in otherwise, I will keep on pumping time into my current gen consoles.
