I run a gaming news site, Total Gaming Network - https://totalgamingnetwork.com
(It was formerly known as CS-Nation)
Excuse me? Is my "Popular with Friends" feed busted because what the hell is this stupid nonsense?

Go fuck yourself, Activision. I'm just trying to play your crap single player campaign.

I literally have both TPM2.0 and Secure Boot enabled. I also need them for Battlefield 6 and have zero issues there... and I'm on Windows 11.

I'm not updating my perfectly working BIOS for this shit.

And from the peak of Dispatch to this...

I'm sure it'll be fine, right? Surely everyone saying how bad the campaign is and how it isn't meant at all for single player and how you can get kicked for being AFK and no checkpoints are all just liars...

Right?

Finished Dispatch.

God, what a GREAT game! The cast, the casting, the story, art/visuals, music, etc. Everything. Just amazing. I loved it!

And shoutout to this vital part of SDN, the aptly named Mr. Whiskey.

Finally started Dispatch tonight. On Episode 3 now.

I love Royd.
I love Beef.

PC is finally leaving Early Access

I really, really, REALLY hope this is because I'm playing the Premium Edition of The Outer Worlds 2.

This is the very first "flaw" that popped up right after the tutorial mission ends...

If every Premium Edition owner gets this, that'd be INCREDIBLY funny.

Please don't. Newsom fucking sucks.

We are so back! First game was one of my favs in 2022.

These games are just... comforting. If that makes sense. They're chill.

Can I just say thank you to the PowerWash Sim team for this.

I cannot stand games that blast my ears at full volume with no way to turn it down until after several intro videos and whatever else. This is super appreciated and I want more games to use a more reasonable default like this.

I don't know what Tim did this time, but now I can no longer upload attachments to TGN.

I checked. The attachment folder is still there. Still writeable.

The admin section is inaccessible saying "File not found."

I want to punch something. I've bluntly told Tim to undo whatever he did recently.

Today is video games.

Few hours into my first ever playthrough of Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines and uh yeah...

This (the Hotel) was a damn good gameplay segment. Damn good.

Lol.

The Nobel Peace Prize is a joke. As if previous recipients like Henry Kissinger, Woodrow Wilson, and even Obama weren't already enough to clue you in.

This ad appeared on my website.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's $0.

I am aware that my website is back up, but...

K. Day off it is I guess, whether I wanted to or not.

And I haven't gotten a status update since last night, so I guess the question for me now is: Dying Light or Borderlands today?
September 19, 2025 at 3:03 PM
Here is what Kimmel said last night by the way.

Fuck ABC.
Fuck Kirk.
Fuck the FCC and its chairman.

It's time.

When even a "major update" for the game draws zero interest from my core Destiny 2 group the week of release, you know shit is bad.

Based on what I've read, nothing of value is being missed either.

Edge browser updated tonight.

Literally every single new feature in this update is for AI.

It now uses GPT-5! And you can make images and video in Edge! And have AI warn about scareware attacks! Oh and it can create a podcast!

Man, the future fucking sucks.

I may not care to play Silksong (just not into Metroidvanias), but I'm happy to see that it's actually a great game and that the wait for fans seems to have been worth it!
September 5, 2025 at 4:28 AM
GOTY has been decided. It's Cronos.

Sorry, SUCKSpedition 33 and SHALLOW Knight: Silksong, but do you have cat collecting and cat petting? Yeah, that's what I thought.

(Silksong might have this, I don't actually know)

Anyway, here's the latest status update on the issues with TGN.

I actually have no idea what changes Tim made. So if anything breaks, don't @ me.

It's been an all day ordeal with many things tried.

Again, I didn't touch shit so whatever caused these issues isn't on me (for once).
