I broke down and bought PUBG... It's not even on sale. I hopped into a friends discord channel and it sounded like they were having way too much fun so I finally pulled the trigger.
PUBG?
PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds

@scottalanmiller this is the article that got me thinking about one. I've just never pulled the trigger.

It has to be pretty different because it emulated the mouse and keyboard controllers, not just a keyboard. The haptic feedback is really impressive.
I think I'd really grow to love it for FPS games. One of the reasons I hardly play them is because my desk space is cramped and not at all adequate for competitive FPS. Using a regular controller just ends up getting me getting destroyed so it's not even fun at that point.

@scottalanmiller I need to look into this. Do you have to use a steam controller? How does that work? I typically use the Xbone dongle and controller on PC if I'm not using my mouse and keyboard.
You can attach things with USB. But we have four Steam controllers already. It has several USB ports and a Bluetooth option so you have ways to connect other controllers.
I need to try out one of those steam controllers when I come over. It's something I've wanted to try out for awhile. I've heard that there is a huge curve to getting used to them, but once you do it's the only way to play. I assume you like them since you own four?
@scottalanmiller Good choice on Never Alone! The co-op was fun and collecting the short films was a nice touch. I think the girls will love that one.

Bahaha, my sides!

@scottalanmiller I think I'll pass. I wonder if can put in an offer on the 42,000-year-old intergalactic medicine wheel though?
Haha, I think I found the problem! It must be all the paint contaminating the water supply:
"3- Precious Water Table and water wheel site. Next to this is another potential well site. There are gigantic trees in a circle marked with paint. This needs to be left alone for the protection of the water."

@Dashrender said in Samsung Galaxy S3... recovery w/ broken screen:
A local repair shop offered to connect a working display to a phone long enough to pull off the data from a phone for like $30. Tell your friend to pony up and do something like that.
That's pretty cheap for what that is.
i thought so! Originally we were going to pay $110 for a new screen on a S3, but all we cared about was the data, so they connected a new screen, and downloaded all the data to a memory stick. Saved $80 and pitched the phone.
Yeah, most shops have extra parts laying around and plenty of free time to do it. It's just good customer service, and an opportunity to hopefully get them some referrals! They'd be silly not to if they aren't busy.
Does anyone have Dying Light or Shadow Warrior 2 and want to co-op some this weekend?
@scottalanmiller said in What did you have for lunch or dinner today?:
@RestoronixSean we should hit that insanely spicy Peruvian place a block over sometime. Living in little Salvador has its benefits.
That sounds right up my alley! What do you normally get there?
Check out the description on this property... Haha
Unfortunately, unless you can get the phone unlocked I'm fairly certain that the screen will need to be replaced if you want to get anything off of the phone.
Unless those files are really important it's probably not worth the effort, but I have heard of repair shops putting on screens temporarily to retrieve data for a small fee. Might be worth a shot?
Currently installing Dying Light to co-op with some friends after dinner. It's been sitting in my steam library for far too long.
