Yeah, putting interactive LED lights in the touchpad probably would've made that an extremely limited $200 controller, lol. We need a new one anyways and my boys are crazy hyped for Astro Bot, I think I'll grab one if I can.

The currency exchange is amazing! Trading has always been so tedious in PoE which for gear I don't mind too much but trying to get a few oils or other items was like pulling teeth. I messed around with running an alt on a separate laptop during the league to facilitate trades but that was always such a hassle as well. What I really need is someone to join the guild that enjoys the selling that can just take dumps from the guild stash and sell all day but that would involve being social.

Anyway yeah the exchange just saves me time and turns my crap I will never use into currency which is such a huge QoL upgrade IMO.

Xbox Elite 2 controllers cheap! Basically half off! $110 off down to just $120.

Didn't see anything about an Elite 3 coming out soon, not sure why such a big cut. But probably as about as good as you're going to get. Not sure even the big Source blowout was this big.

Showing from $229.99 to $211.99 on the site, maybe it was a mistake?

Maybe? Seemed to last for quite a few hours though.

Certainly long enough for Redflagdeals to jump on it for a while and still complain about quality issues, stick drift, broken bumpers, etc. Time stamps had it going for about 10-12 hours?

Had been quite a while but loaded up the Epic Games launcher on my PC yesterday... saw they're still doing daily free games, but when I went to claim it I now have to do a Captcha image thing before the order will go through (even for something free which is silly).

But the Captcha gives an error every time saying it failed or something like that. Anyone know of a workaround or fix? Is it potentially related to either an ad blocker or VPN?

It means you're actually an AI chatbot in disguise. Sorry to tell you the bad news!

ROMHacking is too, which might not mean anything to most, but it was a great source of translated Japanese games and other cool stuff. Technically the site will still be around but it will just be news.

Hey, were you just watching it or were you looking for yourself? PM me?

I sorta recall us trying to track down a PS5 and a 3080 back in the day lol.

Final Fantasy 1-6 Bundle is $69 on GMG. Looks like discounted on Steam and PSN too (though not as much).

It's $79.99 for me. Was this another one of those super sales only chemgear manages to catch?

Edit: I checked again and it was $65.59! Thanks for the heads-up!

Excellent! Yeah, tax brings it up to the $69 but seems like the all time low (for now).

Anyone had a player suffer a career-ending injury in College Football 25 yet? Just happened to my star QB in the national semi-final, lol.

I've only had that happen to me once before ever in a football video game, way back in like Madden 04. The new wear & tear system is no joke! Don't ignore their health meter mid-game if they're taking big hits, you've been warned...

Nothing like going into Steam and being surprised there's a few new free levels for PowerWash Simulator!
