XPOTRPR build & BS

I can't do PC gaming.. keyboard and mouse just isn't for me. I use it most of the day at work in CAD so the controller is a nice break and feels more like "gaming" to me. I've never played Apex.. I don't have any desire to.. and I haven't played COD in years. I'm just over those types of games. I prefer the slower, more methodical gameplay of PUBG. I think @prise plays Apex though..

 

I hate this argument. You can get a controller on PC. You can also cast to other TVs if you set it up that way. In today's PC gaming world, there's no reason to buy a console, since exclusives are no longer exclusive any more. The only hold-out is Nintendo. I play tons of games with a PS4 controller, and you can get an xbox controller if that's more your speed since they are literally windows compatible.

Besides, I can suck at games on anything, why not be on PC?

Plus PC games can be modded for endless fun.

 

Not an argument.. I've gotten this from so many people too. Oh I've tried it, I've got a Steam account, etc. It doesn't work for me. Like I said.. I want a controller.. something that is more reminiscent of gaming to me than a computer. And yes I've tried it on a PC.. but that's straight suicide. Yeah.. let me play with a controller against a bunch of people that have a mouse... No thanks. I just enjoy a controller feel. I know PC is superior.. but I'll stick to my level playing field without the mods and hackers and other shit to worry about. I just want to play video games... on a video game console.

 

I'm still knocking out W's on warzone with a controller, but its crossplatform so I guess the field is more even? IDK, that was just my two cents. You obviously do what works best for you.

 

Maybe.. but it's just not for me. I won't argue the power/capabilities of PC gaming. I do get jealous of graphics sometimes. It just doesn't bring the same enjoyment I guess.

 

Fair enough.

 

I get that, I switched to pc when I was younger (I'm still young) so it feels more natural to try to aim. I suck with a controller now hahah. I totally get that feel of coming home from work and having fun time in a different environment than work mine all just blends together as I do work from my home computer sometimes and have my fancy keyboards at work and home hahah. Problem with games now is there's 9 year olds better than me hahaha. I don't play a whole lot of competitive shooters anymore but have played a little bit of apex and warzone. I play mostly Destiny 2, Genshin Impact, and Stardew Valley with my wife.

 

Its change.. we all get accustomed to something. PUBG is about as competitive as I get these days. Other times its Crash Bandicoot with my wife as well. lol

 

Don't know what kind of games you and your wife are into but if you have the xbox game pass Stardew Valley is free and its super addicting.

 

I'll check it out. We have tried and liked a few of those little Indie games on Game Pass actually. Sounds like something she'd be into for sure.

 

I'm not typically into games like that but its a great couch game to relax. Sometimes we will play for 8 hours on a weekend and not know where the time went. Don't have to try really hard and can play the game however you want but there is defiantly some challenging things you can choose to do.

 

Hey truck looks awesome!! Did you use to work at chase on baseline ? It looks like one that use to be there anyways. You have like 500+ pages that I'm not gonna have time to read through so if you already mentioned it I apologize in advance.
How are you liking the super pacific?? Is the build quality holding up? How's the sleeping in the wedge? Any regrets?
Thanks for your time.

 

thanks man! and nope, not me.

The SP is great. having the extra, weatherproof space is awesome, quality is fantastic, the wedge doesnt bother us at all and we have plenty of room. If you're taller you might have issues but the SP is longer than others so you could put the extra floor panel in and get another like foot+. I dont know if I'd pay the current pricing.. or that price for any wedge camper honestly. But if you can get into one cheaper or if you can live with some of the things with the GFC's then they are great. I really do like the concept of the wedge campers.

 

That is my wife's truck. Its much better now and giving josh a run for his money. hahaha

 

And I am not much of a gamer but want to get back into GTA with all the boys again.

 

@chrslefty Here you go.

 

@KingOfTheNorth DUH lol! I forgot Whit was working at that one when you guys were down here. Now it makes sense. lol

we need to get some pics of the trucks together finally.

 

Fuck yes we do! And we shall. Its almost camping weather down in the valley so we will be down for some fun.

And yep. thats where she was.

 

My wife loves it too. Every now and then we play co-op on her farm. I think she finished the town hall thing. I'm still working on fish

 

next upgrades possibly... getting some overheating issues.

Need to test Fan Clutch still this weekend.. and possibly the Thermostat. I cant remember if I've ever replaced the fan clutch over the years, the T stat is the URD 160 one and a few years old now.
