Just out of curiosity (for now), but what is the preferred console of ST'ers? (NM) - Marlowe Jul 5, 17:55 31
- PC is the only true way to game. Console gaming is a pain since no one else can use the TV -- nm - Karl_S Jul 8, 22:56
- I like to be consoled with ice cream and chocolate chip cookies. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 5, 18:52
- Xbox. (Though I imagine the Switch is a nice secondary.) -- nm - Qale Jul 5, 18:48 1
  - I also think a 3DS is warranted a buy before it finishes up its run. You get backwards compatibility with DS library too. -- nm - Qale Jul 5, 18:51
- I think the PS4 is technically superior, but xbox seems to be more popular. -- nm - mafic Jul 5, 18:04 11
  - 360 won the last generation, PS4 won this one. -- nm - Tim Jul 5, 18:18 2
    - Right. Whatever Strongbad buys, wins. - Strongbad Jul 5, 18:22 1

  - PS sales numbers crush Microsoft, but on ST Xbox seems more popular -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 18:15 4
    - I'd say the Xbox is probably more popular with multi-player gamers, PS4 players here are more anti-social. -- nm - Ender Jul 5, 19:32
    - interesting, I know more people with xboxes. good to know they're all wrong. - mafic Jul 5, 19:18 1
      - It's also quite regional - Reagen Jul 5, 19:21
    - Yup. -- nm - Krusty Jul 5, 18:22
  - Your posts are technically inferior. -- nm - David Jul 5, 18:15 2
    - only if you consider content. I'm a very good speller. -- nm - mafic Jul 5, 22:25 1
      - Your punctuation needs work, though. -- nm - David Jul 5, 23:10

  - Enjoy having to sit at a desk to play a game! -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 5, 18:01 6
    - Enjoy substandard graphics -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 18:03 5
      - I think calling them substandard is a bit of a reach. Top end PC rigs have an advantage, yes, but console graphics aren’t far behind in many cases. -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 5, 21:22
      - While not sitting at a desk? I will! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 5, 19:03 3
        
        Yeah, no thanks. I like premium playing experience. -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 19:14 2
        
        ... sitting at a desk. - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 5, 19:48 1
        
        I spend 80% of my time at home at my desk. That said, I have built a tv studio/desk so it's my man cave. -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 19:52
pokemon go q: so I want to open gifts so we can increase friendship, but I don't want to wind up with only local eggs. so like - windows jones Jul 5, 17:52 3
- I try to send gifts, but it's been too hot to walk around much lately. - the wrong element, bad guy Jul 5, 20:59
- I kind of stopped worrying about it myself. If I send a present, I send one. If I don’t have any. Sorry about that. -- nm - Qale Jul 5, 18:51 1
  - Yep. I open almost all. Just keep one or two for when i need one. -- nm - Andie Jul 5, 19:45
Infinite Dab! -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 5, 17:44 1
- You're 420 friendly now?!? ;-) - Krusty Jul 5, 17:50
Groiny here? David said you wanted me to give you help playing Fortnite. Let me know when I can help you get better? -- nm - Bacon Jul 5, 17:43 2
- YouTube thought a video of Steve Harvey playing with animals would go perfectly after your 4th of July video. -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 5, 17:53
- Yeah, Logan is offering, as well. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 5, 17:44
Ant-Man and the Wasp 88% (142/20), The First Purge 52% (45/42), Sorry to Bother You 94% (62/4) -- nm - Beaker Jul 5, 17:43
