Anyone into TF2?

Any TF2 fans here? I used to play it and still remember the launch of the orange box. Good times. I had this dream to play it on the shield portable back in 2014 but valve never got around making a port for it and GeForce Now was no available in India a decade ago. Still can't believe I threw my portable away. The display ribbon cable gave out and no technician in the country could fix it. Yes I went all the way to New Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai and Kolkata and none would service it. Only way to fix that was to canabalize some other for parts shield portable, but good luck finding one in the country back then. There is also the Xpendables : rearmed. It came installed in the switch and I used to love playing it.

[Thread] Did you have a wish as a kid that went unfulfilled that now you can afford but don’t have the same interest anymore?

I’ll go first, getting that old PSP, the one which had WiFi in built. Or maybe PlayStation 2 which was like 5k-6k back then. Now, I could get a PS5 or buy games to play on my PC, but the feeling is lost. Just like my childhood. I guess I lived a part of my childhood today. Went on a walk and had a Cornetto IceCream, which back then I didn’t have the money for and had to buy an Orange/Cola IceCream. Then, I walked around my society. Saw a few kids playing football and instantly teleported back to when I was a kid. Now that child is gone and the dream has too. But still, it feels good remembering that 5 year old me would be proud of adult me, and that’s what truly matters. 🥰 I made this exact post 1 year back and it reminded me of how far I’ve come. I hope it makes you feel that too. ❤️

Gaming.

Indian Gaming scene is pure shit. 💩 Everyone is stuck in PUBG. No proper culture as well. Neither a proper game has been launched from India. No one is interested in this industry at all?

Gaming dilemma🎮

I had a dream to buy a gaming console since my college days or even before from the time I had seen console online on YouTube etc. That time I used to dream about it how I am going to buy one and play all of the games and enjoy After my job in 2021 I had enough money to buy one and I did bought PS5 at that time I was excited about that for about a month or two.But after that it's only downhill. Not able to play any games because motivation is not there or I am over worked in my IT company. Did anyone faced similar issue or games these days are not that good or maybe expensive?.

Was curious what are the best apps/products that are no more around, but were great at one point. I feel like there might be some insights here if everybody chimes in, maybe something we need to bring back alive?

Are Gaming Cafe Profitable?

I have always been into gaming and spent a good decade playing in a gaming cafe in my teen years and always had a dream to open one. I have been thinking about it again lately and want some inputs from the community. Is there anyone who has invested/operated in a gaming cafe? How was the experience? Do you recommend going for it? Any pros & cons to keep in mind? Any advice/suggestions will be great.

Do you have any ambitions?

What do you do outside of work? Are there any hobbies you genuinely love and don’t just do to pass the time? Do you have any secondary sources of income? From what I have seen, most people in corporate lack ambition. They don’t have any passion, nor is there any will to do anything outside of work. While I completely agree there is nothing wrong with it, the sheer low percentage of people who are passionate about their life just astonishes me. Maybe I am expecting a lot and am wrong here. I wanted to know others’ opinions as well. What do you people think can be the reason?
