Makes sense for you.

In my case I mostly use Alexa for smarthome stuff. "Turn on the back patio lights" and old Alexa would say "the device back patio camera does not have lights." She'd need the exact keyword or else it wouldn't work. The lights were set up as "backyard patio lights."

But now with Alexa + all those issues are gone since it can understand intent kind of.

gotcha.

i'm not into the home integration stuff.  i don't need help turning on a light and i'm very not comfortable with amazon filling my house with a bunch of listening devices and especially cameras.   i actually unplug alexa most of the time.   

i'm also not into the "personal assistantant" stuff.  like i can kind of get the alure in general but amazon is the last company i would want to go with for that kind of thing.  all of amazon's software is pretty much craptastic.  their music player sucks.  their video service sucks.  i've heard google's nest isn't  great but at least they have competent calendar and email services that would make the personal assistant thing useful outside of my kitchen.

hey now...

...you make it sound like I don't appreciate hot women outside of video games.  I think it is quite likely that outside of video games is where I appreciate hot women the most.

Well this is a videogame forum so I was trying to pretend this convo was on topic.

But yes I have no doubt that you appreciate hot women more in that "other" medium. We all remember your old Krystal Boyd focused signature.

Ah good. No one has caught on to me.

Aw yes all those hot women in Dark Souls, how did I miss it!?!?

Love me some Chloe booty in uncharted

No way, Elena 100%.

amazon forced upgraded me for a while.  i gave it a try for a couple weeks and then downgraded. 

she got very uppity in her tone.  stopped always doing what i told her to do and started sometimes doing things to the effect of "that's a great suggestion but i think you'll like this song instead".    i don't need my alexa to be my friend.  the only thing i want is for her to play the songs/artists i ask for so i though making her full on AI was a downgrade.

2- Resident Evil 5
As soon as I figured out you can't move when you shoot I deleted the game


What about you guys?

I have played only a little bit of a couple Resident Evil games, and I feel like I need to give them a proper try. 

But this was a big reason why I dropped RE5.  It makes it feel so wildly clunky.

ghostrunner has insta death?

oh man,.. i think i might pull that out of my backlog then.   it looks really cool but...


i bounced on super mario galaxy 2 due to over menus.   it's a been a long time but after beating a level:
- they bring you back to that ship thing
- you have to walk to the other side to navigate the ship
- you navigate though a menu to select a level
- i think you had to make a choice or a confirmation to start a level

it was like 3 minutes of completely pointless boredom shoved in between every level.

Have you switched to Alexa plus? It is pretty stupid lol. But better than the old one at least.

Ever started playing a game, and there was a mechanic or feature that made you go "yeah I just can't fudge with this" and turned off the game to never play it?


1- Ghostrunner
I downloaded ghost runner the other day. I mean, it looked really cool. 

Then i figured out you die from one hit. I was done. I hate, loath one hit deaths. No thanks. The whole premise of the game became annoying to me. Deleted it right away

2- Resident Evil 5
As soon as I figured out you can't move when you shoot I deleted the game


What about you guys?
