You have made a solid impulse buy. I love my steam deck as does my wife. If you get a dock you can also use it as a regular laptop too.

Oh god the handover after your first long drive into VR is something else. Nothing felt real for me for a good few hours. Super weird experience.

Damn 1/3rd scale. So like 1-2 foot tall? Fair play. Nier Automata was one of my favourite gaming experiences, so many feels. I love the end sequence more than about any other gaming moment.

Talk to your Dr again. Antifungal tablets have a not insignificant chance of messing with your liver, ie permanent damage so you should avoid them if you can.

It’s really dark, graphically violent, a bit (possibly outright) rapey, it’s about as far away from the light-hearted exploration and making friends of Pokémon as possible.

Don’t be a dick, that’s really not a helpful recommendation.

God yes, I got the most recent Destiny update free from PS plus recently and thought what the hell I’ll give it a go. The onboarding process was atrocious, very little explanation for anything at all just assumes you know who all the people are and are keeping up with the lore. Virtually no tutorial. I turned it off again after 5 minutes.

My main issue with games as a whole currently is that they often don’t respect my time. J-RPGs are probably the worst genre for that with the expectation of grinding being baked in. Take persona 5, I loved the style and the characters were engaging but the gameplay was very repetitive and grindy. I didn’t feel like I was making progress. After I beat the first dungeon I felt like I’d seen everything the game had to offer and turned it off.

I enjoy western RPGs more because they often (not always) respect my time better. I replayed Dragon age Inquisition recently and that game was right on the borderline of not respecting my time. I played it way closer to release and burned out by spending 40 hours in the starting area doing fetch quests. On this play through I focused on the story and only did side quests I found interesting. It was much better but still right on the limit of wasting my time for a decent chunk of it’s runtime.

Max Power Racing on the PS1. Surprisingly good fun. Plus I had to get it out of the way before I played Crash Bandicoot and Tomb Raider.

I’m playing it via an emulator and it’s working nicely. I didn’t realise there was a mobile port. Though I can see how it would work well for the touchscreen pretty easily.

I’m really digging advanced wars currently.

Seems to be free on Android. Thanks for the recommendation though, seems fun from my first run ☺️

We have evidence of trepanning (drilling holes in the skull) going back to the flint tools time period. We still use this today to release pressure after a bleed in the skull.

For me just long press on the word suggestion and a bin appears in the middle of the screen.

I remember crying videos about people being mean. It was a few years ago I don’t really remember any details.

We used to watch a lot of game theory. Really enjoyed the over analysis. Stopped part way down the 5 nights at Freddie’s rabbit hole when all the drama started.

Snap. My dad was always conservative but generally a pretty accepting person. Brexit and COVID really sent him down the conspiracy theory rabbit hole and he’s gone full blown racist nut job. There’s a huge amount of topics which are just off limits with my family now in the efforts of retaining some sort of relationship. Fortunately they live 6 hours away so we don’t see them that often.
