Thanks guys for the well wishes!

Jasmine is home now. She's has 5 precription meds and precription dog food. She's weak as a kitten but finally ate all of her breakfast at the hospital; I hand fed her there.

That's great news; with you at her side I'm sure she will recover quickly!

Glad to hear Raven. Pets are very special parts of our lives (which is why I no longer have them).

Mind boggles at the work put into Cyberpunk now I'm 100 hours in.

I can't see any tell-tale signs of shortcuts, lazy devs or procedural generation.

They don't repeat interiors either and they've built so many areas they just didn't need to.

I'm so happy I bought this game.

There are only 4 romantic relationships to pursue. A bit bummed on that, it's 2 male and 2 female.

I feel they could add a wider dating aspect. There's so many cool character models. I've started buying up cars and properties so I had a date with Pan am.

We danced a d showered and slept. Then you awkwardly leave by just walking out and yelling see ya later lol.

I'm just curious about this, guys. Do you keep your console boxes? I tend to hold on to mine, at least for about a year.

I keep all of them and I'm running out of room thanks to the huge PS5 and PSVR2 boxes. I'm seriously considering dumping those, though.

I keep the packaging for all the systems I buy for as long as I have the systems. Got several of my older systems back in their boxes and put away.

I used to, but a couple years ago I was looking at the box my Wii came in and started thinking to myself, "what the fuck am I even keeping this for?" I don't store them in the boxes. Ultimately they just take up space. So this time around, when I bought the PS5, the only reason the box hung around for a week is because I was too lazy to take it to the garbage can outside.

I kept them all and wonder why. Guess I'll sell a boxed N64 someday.

WTH is going on over at Xbox? Even I could easily tell this is an AI generated pic! LOL

CIB consoles do have a much higher resell value. I always enjoyed looking at them as their own pieces of art too. This Genesis box is still my favorite of on system boxes:

Yeah, I really enjoy the box art of some of the systems. Feel that it’s part of the system. I also just find it a much more convenient and organized way to store old systems.

You don't type with your screen turned the other way?

Yes. And when I sell them as CIB it will be worth it. I've sold a few handhelds CIB and that 70 cent cardboard box has added hundreds of dollars of value. I even keep the plastic, twist ties and everything else that came with it.  I still have Atari warranty cards.

I;d really like Travo's view on AI generated art, but would not want it wasted in an ephemeral news post. It would deserve a post in the off topic -- or if you are inspired I'd put it up on game under.

Why do you think they're hiring in the graphics department?

I don't see why they need to hire anyone. Isnt AI this amazing tech supposed to replace us all or not? One person should be able to do the job of 50 now! Mega corporations will make hundreds of trillions of dollars!

God I hate this shit. AI has its place for sure, but using it to replace human artists like that ad is despicable, IMO.
