Is It Time To Move On From Current Gen?

 I have a Playstation 5. I do not have an Xbox Series X.

Do I feel we should be making games almost exclusively for a console I do not have?

Yes.

Here is why:

I fully believe that once you introduce a new hardware system, your focus should be on that system.

I get that demand is higher than supply and not everyone can afford the newest tech, BUT I also feel that a lot of advancements are slowed or suffered through the lifecycle of that newest tech.

When you are trying to make a huge, vast, next generation landscape with updated features but also trying to make sure to include it on a previous generation, not only does it take more time and effort to include the previous but it also lowers the capabilities of the new.

Assassin's Creed Valhalla is essentially the same game on Playstation 4 & 5. How different would it be if it were ONLY on Playstation 5 nearly 2 years ago?

I'm not saying you can't make games for last generation but when you are trying to advance features and tech, we should be aiming to get that exclusive on the improved versions.

Games have been releasing on both platforms since release and it almost give no incentive other than higher resolutions to upgrade.

Nearly 2 years in and there have only been a handful of "worth it" exclusives to the Xbox Series X or Playstation 5. 

If consoles are having a 5-6 year cycle now, 2 of them are practically wasted just to play the same things we already have.

So do I think it is time we move on? Absolutely.

If only so we do not spend 750 dollars on things we already have for a few years just in hopes that we get something a bit different.

Disney Dreamlight Valley: How To Equip And Use Your Glider

Are you wondering how to use your new Glider in Disney Dreamlight Valley? Have no fear as I am here to tell you exactly how to do it! If you happen to be blasting or skipping through menus in Disney Dreamlight Valley, you may be wondering how the heck to equip that shiny new surfboard glider you got. Well, all you have to do is go to your Wardrobe, scroll down to Gliders and select it! Easy as a hot dog! But how do you hop on this thing and use it? Well for that, first you MUST make sure your stamina bar is in the yellow. You do this by eating cooked meals that will take you above your maximum stamina bar. Once this is complete, just run for a few seconds until an icon appears in the bottom left side of the screen. Tap that button (For me, on Xbox, it's B) and PERFECTO! You'll be gliding in no time! Make sure to pay attention to your stamina bar as it will run out pretty quickly though! For more tips, opinions, and overall shenanigans, make sure to leave a comment and come back...

Movie Backlog: The Fast And The Furious (2001)

 I'm a bit ashamed of myself. And, to a point, somewhat proud. I have never watched any of the Fast and Furious movies other than 2 Fast 2 Furious for some reason. So I got sick over the weekend and decided to start watching the entire season to see what I have missed over the last 20 years. Here are some of my thoughts on the first movie into this adrenaline-filled, NOS-injected, action-packed love story.  The Fast This movie starts out at a pretty fast pace. Quick racing, quick fights, all the machismo you can shake a stick at. We get to follow Brian O'Connor, played by the late Paul Walker. A blonde surfer type who is an undercover cop sent to investigate the infamous street racing gang leader, Dom Toretto (Vin Diesel). This is because a bunch of truck's have been hijacked and good ole Dommy boy is the main suspect. We find out the Brian likes tuna sandwiches. Pretty dang cool I guess. I'm not a car guy and I will never pretend to be, but what I noticed is there are ...

A.K.I Slithers into Street Fighter 6!

The second Street Fighter 6 DLC character is here! A.K.I, a brand new character to the series arrived this week, just in time for Halloween. Her slithery, unsettling, poison wielding moves will be sure to not only creep out players, but also shake things up for the online warriors out there.    She has a mix of mid and long range range moves, plus projectiles and specials that inflict poison on the opponent. Her moveset and specials take inspiration from F.A.N.G. Well... not surprising because she's an apprentice of F.A.N.G! Not only that, she's a little bit obsessed with him. Ok, maybe A LOT bit obsessed. Don’t worry though, she’s way cooler than F.A.N.G. Her design (I'm still 50/50 on the hair) and engaging move set make her way more appealing to use than her obsession.   Street Fighter's YouTube page has a great breakdown of her gameplay. If you want to learn a bit about her move set, strengths, and weaknesses, I recommend that you watch! So far I’m having a blast us...
