I have dozens of videos that need to be rendered and uploaded. I think I will start doing that on my lunch break at work so I can start getting things done.

I added a link to CoD: MW2019 and posted ~10 videos from my early playing of this version. I have about 20+ more videos to go through. Hopefully I got better as I played more. Most of these videos are from 2022.

I need to play more myself... Only done, I think it was MWIII or BLack Ops.... can't remember which

While MW3 was my favorite, nobody plays anymore, so sitting in a lobby for 20 minutes at a time waiting for people to play isn't fun. I do have Black Ops 3 and 4. Never played either (yet).

Far cry is more fun when I am sick of cheaters and just want to play a single-player (campaign) game. It's a sandbox game, so I can do whatever I want. I like taking out the advanced outposts. This usually requires a lot of stealth and patience. If you're caught, they'll set off the alarm and you're really in the thick of it then. Much easier to sneak around and remove the enemies one at a time or, better yet, disable all the alarms, then wreak havoc!

I never really got into multiplayer, so no issues for me.

While I still have a chunk of videos to put up on the channel, as of yesterday, this Savage has officially retired from PC gaming, with the possible exception of solitaire and sudoku. Since I am currently rebuilding my RetroPie system, I will occasionally indulge in some old-school games like Mario Brothers or Zelda, but when it comes to PC gaming, I have uninstalled ALL my games. It's really two things that made the final decision...

• I would occasionally indulge in a quick game, only to realize that it was dinnertime, bedtime or whatever, and I didn't finish something I meant to.
• There are far too many cheaters in many of the games I play, making them just plain not fun to play anymore.

My block list was getting just a little too large and quite frankly, my time is far more valuable these days. I have a lot of hobbies as well as a wife. Priorities just aren't the same anymore. I had already quit World of Warcraft months before we bought the new house. It was time to shed the rest.

Honestly, I stick to singlenplayer stuff like Rollercoaster Tycoon, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim n Fallout, even Fallout 76 I have set up as private world.

I've never really been into gaming. My idea of great games is writing programs in BASIC, or other cool things like that.

While I've always enjoyed gaming, once it takes so much of your time, you start to question your priorities.

In my case, I get stressed and just don't care....

Video games like Call of Duty and even World of Warcraft used to be stress release to me. But now they're both sources of stress. I miss the days when my electronics hobby was my stress relief. Those were the days.

Yes, one of the advantages of being retired is that it is not too bad when gaming programming takes up a lot of time.

You, sir, may have inadvertently discovered a new reason why things are different for me now...

...when I used to do all this stuff before, I was either in my own business, or later, worked at Parallax. Ever since the stunt they pulled on me, I haven't had motivation to use their products. Which sucks, because I had used them for years before working there. The fact that the company is a mere shadow of it's former self and that forum participation is barely there, doesn't help things.

Perhaps after I finish my current project I will work more on my Z80 project to get my focus back.
