I’m with you, I have a pretty high end gaming PC up in my office and honestly if rather game on my PS5, from my bed. It’s soooooo cozy.

I pronounce them the same. Grew up on the west coast.

I feel this way about all of the brain dance scenes in cyberpunk. I don’t enjoy them and find them incredibly tedious. Thankfully there are only a few that are necessary for the story but they are notably bad, not fun, and add nothing to the game while absolutely stripping the moments spent playing through them of all joy

Days gone gets a lot of hate but I thought it was a blast and the motorcycle travel was such a great game mechanic.

I couldn’t finish Alan Wake. I really enjoyed the story but the game play was just too kludgy.

There are absolutely, unequivocally, killers for hire. You just aren’t going to find them on the hitman equivalent of Amazon dot fucking com.

No! Didn’t even know about it even though I’ve been gaming since 85

Yep. First time ever was a real trip though. I was at a girl’s house and she ties me up with some of her scarves as things are getting hot and heavy.

I enjoy spanking so I asked her to punish me because I was too shy to ask for what I wanted so she tied me up and started biting and scratching me.

Looooook beggars can’t be choosers.

After a few minutes the doorbell rings and she tells me “don’t go anywhere…”

Well she was gone a long time and I’m buck naked with my dick hanging out and peppered with scratch and bite marks and I get it in my head that it’s her dad.

Don’t ask where I got that idea, but we were in a religiously conservative country and I didn’t want to get my dick cut off.

Anyway I managed to get loose from the scarves. It was an intense 90 seconds or so and my wrists got pretty raw.

She comes back and it was just a delivery.

She was bit perturbed with me because I really fucked one of the scarves up in the process but we had a laugh and got back to it.

Maybe so! I had not heard that. So perhaps the best route is to play through a second time, with the update 2.0 patch and dlc, and play the dlc storyline after the main story has concluded.

I’ve been playing Prey. Just finished replaying Dishonored a few weeks ago, which led to playing dishonored 2 and death of the outsider. So, I was feeling a stealth sim and decided that after several years of owning the game I should give it a shot. It’s been fun so far.

GOG allows you to play rolled back versions of a game, through the launcher. I don’t believe steam has that capability.

From what I understand you want to play the DLC after you finished the main game

I put my university, the years I attended, and my major and minor focus of study.

It’s not a lie, and if pressed, I always tell the truth. It’s become a non issue as my professional experience has mounted and now my resume and references speak for itself.

But, unless I’m asked directly…

Nobody needs to know I dropped out first semester of my senior year due to a crippling drug addiction. Or as I phrase it, a period in my life where I needed to tend to a family medical emergency.

No fucking clue myself but isn’t airdrop an iPhone thing?

It would be useful if you live in the United States, or any of the dozens of countries that use the system either as a standalone measurement of temperature or as part of a dual system. The British Virgin Islands, Antigua, Barbuda, the Bahamas… Etc.

I find it actually kind of a fun way to start a conversation with anyone outside of the U.S. by attempting to convert my local weather to Celsius. I’m on international calls fairly regularly and (can’t blame anyone for this) telling anyone outside the US or the countries above the temperature in fahrenheit is like speaking a foreign language.

Bro…

I can absolutely smell the 90s in this statement and I love it

Personally whenever I go to Instagram all I get are cat videos and ads about “targeted mushrooms” and kava drinks…

It all checks out ¯_(ツ)_/¯

This has been my experience as well.

I consider myself a pragmatic optimist. I assume the best intentions in those around me, give forgiveness for human error and tendencies, and when someone gives me cause to do so I pragmatically adjust my expectations of them and their actions.

I also assume that, as long as I am trying to do the next right thing in each situation I find myself in, most of those situations will resolve in a positive outcome. Even if others involved are not committed to the same path.

I found much more success and happiness with this philosophy or approach to life.

Just to put the in context, you would need to play every single day for roughly 6.8 hours in order to rack up 2500 hours in a year.

To further contextualize, in the U.S. a full time job, that is a job wherein one works a combination of days each week (typically 5 8-hour days but sometimes 4 10-hour days) is around 40 hours each week, or 2080 hours a year.

The typical worker also takes vacation, sick days, etc equaling between 1-3 weeks each year. Meaning they may not even work an actual 2000 hours each year due to time off.

So you are putting in more time to WoW each year than the typical full time worker is to their job.

And you still have time for other games.
