Because it's Royal Rumble day and making the WWE Network accessible in the States exclusively from Peacock is an idiotic decision. Not a long-term thing.

I had a coworker introduce Let's Game It Out to me last summer, and I love it. He plays every game as wrong as he can and breaks them. Hopefully you enjoy Project Hospital as much as he did.

I haven’t posted here in a while. Not a lot of money for extras, but I did buy a few books recently.
This is Sweet Paprika by Italian writer/artist Mirka Andolfo. It’s being published in English by Image Comics, but it’s a SFW(-ish, there’s still nudity) version. This is the Hot Paprika version. It’s in Italian only and has all the original art. It’s fascinating because even though it’s not porn at all, it does have fully illustrated sex scenes. I’m a huge fan of the artist, so I had to get this version.
A few volumes of yuri manga, my favorite genre.

Bet nobody saw this coming!
Yep, that's right, I got an Xbox Series X!
Although I haven't said anything about it on GTP until now, I actually became interested in this console in late summer 2021, and have been trying to get one of them for almost as long. Had so much difficulty trying to get one of these, it wasn't until just last week I was finally able to get it and it arrived today. I will admit though, this one isn't new, it's refurbished, or at least that's what it said on Walmart.com. I'm all for buying things new, but given how hard getting a new one is, the price that was offered, and the accessories that came with this deal, I thought it was worth it. Fortunately theirs no evidence the box had been opened or the console was used, so who knows where the "refurbished" part came from? 🤷♂️
So given my username, I think the big question here is, why did I choose this over the PS5? Well:
1. First and foremost, the dev mode is what really made me want to get this console. Without saying too much, I learned back in September it was possible to run some emulators I knew and liked for nearly every console I own with dev mode. Having all the features of an emulator while having the immersive experience of a console was a huge part of why I loved the Playstation Classic and considering I can do this even better with emulators I know and trust on a console with plenty of power, I am absolutely ecstatic!
Buying an Xbox to play more Playstation, ain't that heresy at it's finest!
2. Simply put, Forza Horizon 4. I'll be honest, I've wanted to get into Forza for years now, but what made me finally do it was several people in one of my own threads mentioned they would stick to Forza Horizon 4 for a whole year if they could. neema_t's post is what really caught my attention though because he actually did stick to the game for a whole year, unintentionally. I figured given all that was said about it in my thread, it must be really good. So I felt now was a good time to finally give the series a chance!
3. The PS5 simply doesn't have anything to make me want to buy it right now and given what I said in #1, I am honestly skeptical it will have anything that will top that for me and I don't currently know any games I want for it that isn't already on the PS4. So I really can't justify buying one.
Haven't done much with it yet beyond setting it up since I am having difficulty recovering my old Microsoft account I created 8 years ago I barely used and I don't have any games for it yet. While it's going to be quite an adjustment since I've been hardwired for Playstation for the past 20 years, I can honestly say, I look forward to seeing what all I can do with this!

Congrats. If it can emulate X360 start with Forza Motorsport 4, 3 or even 2. And regarding Forza Horizon, would also start with 1, then 2, then 3 (they are all backwards compatible so no emulation needed and cheap to get the discs used). Funny thing I would say FH4 is the worst Horizon in the series. My ranking would be 2, 1, 3, 5, 4.

Thank you!
I think I was told recently it can't emulate 360 games, so I can't run those on it unless they just happen to be supported by the console.
Oh, this is good to know!
I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the tip!I should note, I do have an Xbox 360 I got years ago from what is now my sister's husband, so I have that if I need it. Though be truth be told I haven't done much with it beyond making sure it turns on, I think because I didn't have a working controller or any games I cared to play on it and haven't bothered to do anything about it. Nowadays, I forget I even have it, and sometimes it has me looking at myself and wondering, why I am like this?
I guess I should dust it off sometime!

@Sonygamer455 and @Brett are definitely getting robbed by yours truly.
...I said that out loud, didn't I?

Only after you take it from my cold, dead hands. I have waited entirely too long to give this thing up easily.

That makes two of us.
On a serious note though, I never thought I'd have so much trouble getting a hold of a new console, but boy did I have a time with this one. If I had a dollar for every time I refreshed my browser in hopes it'd be in stock, only to be disappointed it wasn't, it'd be enough to buy several new games for it at full price. So I am pretty thankful to finally have it now!Wow, I never thought I'd hear myself say that!
No lie, if you told me 6 months ago I'd be thrilled over owning an Xbox, I probably wouldn't have believed it, yet here I am!

If you have to use a credit card, the answer is no. Unless you pay it off every month.

I bought a new Unifying receiver for my 8 year old keyboard that hasn't been used in 7 years to use in the exercise room with the new bike.

Mine gets used for everything and gets paid off every month. No balances carried and no annual fees (besides the Costco membership, since it's their card).
Bonus - we get a check back from Visa and Costco every year. The Costco check is more than enough to pay the membership fee. The Visa check feels like found money because we'd buy said item anyway.

Haha yeah. I forgot we had one! Gonna wait for the spring before bashing this one. So it'll be while. Already have a few bashers but always wanted a solid axle baja truck. We'll see how it does!
