I have one of those, but I don't have many games for it. I don't have many console games in general. The PS4 is mostly used for Rock Band. I got it for Kingdom Hearts 3, and that still isn't released yet!
PC is easier if you want to play with your friends, because people are more likely to have that than the newest console. What I think would be good is if they got rid of console exclusives entirely. I guess it wouldn't be bad if they still sold consoles, just let everyone play it regardless of which platform they choose.

I'm excited about my new games. Still waiting for at least one more to finish downloading. I don't know what I'm gonna play first! LOL :rolleyes:

Yeah, I was bummed that Mario stuff is only available on Nintendo... man, back in the day, I used to friggin' rock Mario Kart on N64... and Diddy Kong Racing... and Off-Road somethingorother.... used to hang (as always) with some guy friends who were huge into gaming... I hadn't had much experience playing with others, definitely not racing games.... after a bit of practice, I smoked 'em all every time!! :rofl:

Never owned a console until my ex & I bought the PS2 together one Christmas. I still prefer PC... no hand-cramps or thumb-blisters. :p

Those were my favorite games when I was a kid. Did you play Mario Party?

Nah. Read up on it, decided it wasn't for me. Wasn't very good at Super Mario World either... I just ended up wandering around & doing silly stuff. :p

I enjoy "free reign" in games.... and with those others, I learned shortcuts... like driving down the railroad tracks in Mario Kart (I was always Toad, sometimes Yoshi... small & fast... occasionally Wario... slow, but his laugh was hilarious).... and learning where to jump off the Rainbow Bridge to land (hopefully) in a spot that put me at least one lap ahead of everyone else. ;)

Ugh, sonofab*tch.... Just noticed the game currently downloading was Still Life 2, the first one was merely in the queue... I can't play 2 before 1! So I switched the current download to 1.... which will be over two hours. **sigh** I'm a genius. :fp: LOL

Lots of crap I can't get rid of because I can't even locate the Recycle Bin since the weird Desktop-to-folder shift. I hate Windows 10, I want back to 7. LOL

Also, it's pretty stormy lately... that tends to hamper things.
 
That reminds me when I had 1mbps with Clear internet and it took two days to download one game. :fp:
Now I got 100mbps, even though it's supposed to be 50. Upload is 10.

:shrug: There has to be a solution to that. There's a couple things you can try to get it back...

First thing to try...
Go to Settings.
Click Personalization
Click Themes
Click Desktop Icon Setting
To show the recycle bin icon, make sure to tick ‘Recycle Bin’ check box.

If that didn't work you can try right clicking on the desktop and going to "View" in the context menu and selecting "Show Desktop Icons", try toggling it on and off.

You're kind of locked into Windows 10, Microsoft is doing everything in their power to make Windows 7 and 8 even as unappealing as they possibly can at the moment.. Discontinuing updates, disappearing service packs and among other things.
 
I've got 33 games on my Big Fish "app".... those, if I remember, took a much shorter time to download.

Ah, except for the long-adventure games (Siberia 1 & 2, Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper, et al).... now I know. LOL
 
It is annoying that you have to do things to Windows 10 to make it more like Windows 7. Hopefully Microsoft gets it right next time. The first thing I did when I got Windows 10 was go on youtube and look up a tutorial to make it more like 7.

Another thing to try if none of that worked....

On the search bar type in "folder options" then click on File Explorer Options from the results... Then within that go to the View tab and look for where it says "hidden files and folders" and make sure "Show hidden files, and folders" is ticked. Scroll down and find where it says "Hide protected operating system files" and remove the check mark from that. Once you've done that you should be able to bring up File Explorer, go to C: drive and you should be able to find the folder called $Recycle.Bin. Right click on the $Recycle.Bin folder and go to "Send to" and then "Desktop (create shortcut)".
 
Everything I "know" about computers I learned simply from trial & error. That's how I learn most things, really (especially cooking)... just messin' around with stuff until I find a groove I dig... experimenting. I guess it wouldn't hurt to have some expert knowledge, however.... LOL :rolleyes:

OK, I know what I'm gonna do. I got the Steam download to switch to Still Life 1... I'm just gonna switch it again to Ben There, Dan That! Of course the first download completed was Time Gentlemen, Please (the sequel to Ben There...).... And these are not long graphic investigative adventure.... they're animated & super fun & exactly what I'm in the mood for now. :)

And done. Less than 12 minutes to go. :up: I'm gonna head to the kitchen to listen to blues & prep produce for a pizza. :dance:

I will try your suggestions. Thank you. Just not tonight. :p It's just not the right mood now for that stuff. But your helpful hints are now easily found... I'll get on that tomorrow.
:thanks:
 
I found out you can dual wield katanas on Bloodborne. I need this game. It looks exactly like a Dark Souls sequel, but it's ps4 exclusive. I'm not even sure if it is a Souls game, or just very similar.
