I don't want an X Box, I wouldn't know how to use one and they sound so mind numbingly boring!

I've just heard someone on the radio say/rant that 'They all have X Boxes in prison, when it's supposed to be a place of punishment'! 🤬 How many times have I heard rants about prisoners having X Boxes in prison! Listen, if I was doing time and was given an X Box I'd swap it for something useful like a packet of biscuits or a bog roll, as the thought of using one sends me to sleep!! Do you have one and if so why?🤔

I've had some kind of games console or computer of one kind or another for over 40 years, why? Because I like to play games that's why

I bought a PS5 for my better half and I back in March. because our gaming pc is 10 years old now with a 5 year old graphics card "upgrade" in it, unable to play some recent game releases and a console was the far cheaper hardware option.

But I'm struggling to use it much, I love Rocket League (Rumble gamemode) on the pc, but keyboard plus mouse isn't a play option in Rocket League and I simply cannot adapt to using the PS5 controller to play.

The only thing that's got me using it more recently is another free to play game, namely Disney Speedstorm, a karting game I'd heard of but never tried on any platform until a fortnight ago...

But even with Speedstorm, I split my time pretty evenly between the PS5 and the old gaming pc, mainly because my old eyes can keep better track of everything when I'm ~3 feet from a 27" pc monitor than ~8 feet away from the 32" ps5 tv!

It feels a bit weird still being a light gamer in my 50s, but I've had gaming computers most of my life, going back to the ZX81.

Yet another unnecessarily long title where most of it should have been part of the actual post. (Feel free to copy/paste this for the inevitable next time.)

Some people like pineapple on their pizza so they buy it. I think it's an abomination unto Nuggan so I don't. I then go about my day.

I have a good pc and no tv, but other than that it's more or less the same thing.
