Sudden and complete loss of interest in gaming. I call it "growing old".
I still make an exception for the Grand Theft Auto series however, although with the 4-5 year gap (?) between games, by the time the next one comes out, what I last used for a gaming machine needs to be upgraded...so the repeating pattern has been to put together a kick-ass machine, play the game, then when I'm done with it, the machine gets recycled as a VM host (with an overkill video card)...

Depends.
The PS4 controller is kinda suck; the X-Box 360/One controller is much more comfortable to use. I greatly prefer it to KB/M for shooters.

Yes, the mouse is king.
A few years ago, someone tested an online shooter where XBox and Windows users could compete. Windows users dominated the XBox users. I remember the universal opinion being that it was the mouse/keyboard which allowed much finer control. I've never much liked consoles anyway, but it does seem that most have aimbots built in.

I never played many games on the PC (Scumm games and DooM notwithstanding), so I'm more used to using a joypad, and not having to sit up straight to use mouse & keyboard.
That said, I only ever play silly little gamed on my phone, nowadays -- I'm even thinking of writing one myself, and calling it "Bloated Battery Killer!"

I hope so as well, they could then conduct an operation faraday or more.

Are you sure that is proper current usage?
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Alessia Cara - How Far I'll Go[^]
So last week I've seen Vaiana (or Moana outside of Europe), the newest Disney "classic".
Not their best, but still an entertaining Disney.
With a very catchy song (just a little less catchy than Let It Go from Frozen)
It's been stuck in my head for days now.
I've had worse stuck in my head
Bonus:

Google’s venture capital arm and other backers poured about $120 million into the startup. Juicero sells the machine for $400, plus the cost of individual juice packs delivered weekly. Tech blogs have dubbed it a “Keurig for juice.”
But after the product hit the market, some investors were surprised to discover a much cheaper alternative: You can squeeze the Juicero bags with your bare hands.

From what I could understand about the product is that the pouch actually contained fresh fruits/vegetables and that was supposed to be crushed by the machine (which could be a nice idea), but it turned out that the pouch contained mostly the juice itself.
Anyway, useless gadget.
I'd rather be phishing!

That's what we call a lemon.

the term "lemon" refers to something that doesn't work.
A $400 juicer might actually work, so thus, it is not a lemon. Just saying...

A lime perhaps?
