It was all in fun I think. As you get older you get more perspective. I was already old back in the heyday of the forum and knew that many members were young and hot-headed sometimes. I can’t speak for anyone else, but I was never bothered by forum drama and chest thumping. I found it pretty entertaining. It’s a shame that 2 just didn’t live up to the high standards set 10 years ago. PVP was simple and fair and addictive. I’ve tried a couple of times to get a group together to play RDR and relive things, but the best we could do was 4 people. Still fun though. Played some gang matches and some co-op. Maybe I’ll try again soon.

Merry Christmas! 🎁🎄

Red Dead Tales: the Rise of Herbert Moon will bring everyone back once it’s announced.

Yeah, I don’t lose sleep over it, but it had a good run. I think part of it is the fact that many of the most active posters were young and had all the time in the world. Now they have such different lives and without that activity it’s hard to keep a critical mass. I follow Uca on twitter and now he’s a young reporter writing about Hong Kong. When I think of the changes in my life in 9 years... I bought a Hoodie I really like...

They let you play any free to play game without plus I think. https://store.playstation.com/en-us/grid/STORE-MSF77008-PS4FREETOPLAYCAT/1

Another deal for $39. https://www.reddit.com/r/PS4Deals/comments/dg3aby/sony_playstation_plus_1_year_membership/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
And the standard RDR2 still shows as $35.99 on the PS store.

This is a good month to start ps plus. The last of us is one of the “free” games. If it’s going to be close I’d say it’s worth it to create an account and start your plus even if the console isn’t bought by the end of the month. Not sure if you’re getting a deal on a used one or new, but if it’s new it might come with a 20% off PSN coupon in the box. I did get days gone and it’s pretty good. Especially now that the price has dropped. It’s structured like most open world games now. Good story, but the highlights for me are riding your motorcycle and fighting the big zombie hordes. And don’t forget to join the forum PS community.

We just stopped at Laguna for a few hours on the way down to San Diego. Wish we had more time to spend there. It was beautiful. Here’s a 25 foot tall statue “embracing peace” commemorated gets the end of world war 2 with the aircraft carrier USS Midway behind. We toured the Midway and it was amazing. Many veterans acting as docents all over the ship telling stories and answering questions.
