Super Mario RPG and Civ 6 still getting tons of mileage

Not that I have progressed enough financially yet to be in a position to buy a Tesla Model S, it’s gone from a dream car to something I’d be ashamed to own because of being disillusioned by who Elon Musk is over the past few years.

Yeah beyond tower defence games I agree.

Play whatever you want, I doubt you’re getting weird looks for playing anything in public.

I personally despise the mobile gaming industry as a whole for its propensity for going live service or shovelware in the vast majority of instances. Of course I can think of gems in the rough but in many cases it went for a business model I ended being disappointed in.

At the end of the day, the switch and steam deck are far preferable on the go gaming platforms that suit me much better.

I hummed hawed on this over the past few years to finally end up in the pixel watch 2, being sold on getting workout, sleep and general heartrate metrics.

This is a daunting proposition, I’m admittedly massively invested in Google’s ecosystem. Gmail and Google calendar, I have a pixel phone, watch and buds and have YouTube premium. I feel like the time I switch is when I have a homelab and am able to find open source alternatives to everything heavily use and be able to do so with all devices I use.

Hollow Knight for me fits this scenario to a t. I got it as part of a humble bundle, but couldn’t get into it for at least a year as the initial part felt really depressing, and didn’t at all grab me.

But once I managed to tough it through to greenpath, and started to get some power ups, it finally sunk it’s claws into me. I proceeded to nearly 100% the game.

Either 2 and 3 or 3 and 7.

Free gravel is fantastic, a ton of practical things to be done with it and is otherwise expensive.

Teleporting 7 inches away is enough to get you past many barriers and walls, that’s not insignificant. This seems the coolest to me.

Being able to determine if a container is empty or not seems pretty cool as well although I can’t think of a good example of how this would be useful.

The rest are hilarious.

Yikes

I was admittedly on the train with Marvel until End Game and thoroughly enjoyed it. I’ve since fallen off the MCU. I’ll still catch Batman, but otherwise I’m on board with moving on.

Agreed, Covid ties or is a close runner up for me as well in terms of people showing their true colors.

+1 for the third party Reddit app ban.

2016 US elections was a ridiculously sobering moment for realizing that we had not progressed nearly to the extent that I nievely thought.
