This has been an excellent start to my PC gaming experience.


Downloaded it and me and my son lost 90 mins yesterday afternoon. He's really into minecraft at the moment so I thought the resource collection would dovetail with my love of strategy, which it did.

This would not have been an issue if I didn't have a Uni assignment due tomorrow :lol:

So this is my first week diving into the Stalk Market in ACNH. I bought 400,000 bells worth of turnips at 100 a turnip. Now, the price is 43 bells.

When should I cut my losses and sell? Is there a certain point in the week where it makes most sense to give in?

Whenever I re-watch Black Sails I have to re-play Black Flag.

So I'm playing Black Flag for the 4th time.

Wow, past DB was looking out for future DB. I didn’t own a copy of Black Flag so I got a used version for the XBone. I booted it up and I had a an 18% completed file ready that got me past all the terrible opening 4 or 5 hours of the Prologue. It was from four years ago. Crazy. But it let me dive right in with a solid ship, good gear, and the overwhelming map full of stuff I hadn’t done. I must have played my last mains on PS4.

"Just one more turn"


I did about half the tute then had to quit. Then I jumped into an AI mission on the easiest of easy settings. I'll need a couple of goes to work out what to do, but it seems like science is the way to go though I'm about to blow up some recalcitrant Romans...

I should give this game a go. I still play Civ 4 when I want to escape the world for 3 hours. Smoke/drink myself off my face then spin up a game on Immortal level and off I go. Sometimes I'll pass out half way through a game and it's fun the next day to see what kind of crazy **** drunk/high me did. :D

I've stayed up too late the last 2 nights. Thankfully I think I'm going to burn out pretty quickly. And by pretty quickly, I mean after sinking in 30 hours over a week.

Pretty sure that's exactly what I did with Civ5. First week easily did 30 hours. Dropped the game for a few months (never finished it) and decided to go back and try and win one. Spent another 40 hours and won and haven't played much since but man I love those games.

Anyone have any good prices on the Stalk Market? I'm at 33 dollars a turnip. I paid 100 a turnip on Sunday. I'm going to wait one more day and then cut my losses if I don't see an increase.

Haven't played ACNW for a month or two but I think you have until Saturday to sell.

Finally gave the Turnip Exchange a try. Took me a few attempts to get to someone's island, but walked away with an easy 2 mil and a non-native fruit.

That's true, but there are pricing trends and it looks like this is a downward trend.

Oh didn’t know there were trends. Thought prices were just random.

It took me 90 minutes of waiting in a queue, but just banked a couple million bells. Awesome.

GTA V gets an "expanded and enhanced" version at launch (I think?).
