I look forward to the future WiiUWiiU 🚨!

I don’t know if it counts but Red Dead Redemption introduced me to Liar Dice! Now I freakin’ love Liar Dice!

I am a plastic digesting mega organism apparently!

There are “fancy” (and of course expensive) places that specialise in high end cuts of meat - that serve fries as a standard side option.

Lots of good and relevant reading here:

I always liked the term “classic shooter”.

Replace “Then don’t worry” with “If you really think about it you should definitely be worried” and this is my life.

The ability to breathe underwater - or if that is too much of an upgrade to ask for, the ability to hold your breath for much longer periods of time so that we could spend significant time underwater.

Especially seeing as the planet’s surface is over two thirds water!

Trains are the perfect solution to move people between hubs, but it still doesn’t solve for the last mile problem - which could be solved very effectively with self driving cars (buses, bikes and scooters can work too but based on the usage it can be a mix of all).

I would love a self driving car that would drop me off at the train station, then take itself back home until I return.

Brussels sprouts in the airfryer are amazing - but pretty much any vegetables go well, are quick, easy and healthy. If healthy is not your thing, anything in the frozen aisle (chips, hash browns, onion rings, chicken nuggets and fish fingers, etc) are also incredibly easy and always work.

Except that movie is where those cliches began!

I am curious why it is considered such a terrible practice? A lot of people don’t want to spend time and effort renovating an old property (nor do they have the knowledge or experience to do it well) so there is a market for old but already “fixed up” houses and there are people that make a living doing just that.

I don’t know about that. I have been wearing the same semi expensive watch daily for over 10 years and there is not even a scratch on the face despite having bumped and knocked it countless times. Worth mentioning that a watch repairer can replace most parts to get it looking good as new relatively easily if it came down to it.

Sunglasses on the other hand, I also go cheap - but that’s because it is much easier to lose them then something attached to your wrist! Haha

Why not just use a QR code scanner that shows you the link before you browse to it?

We must move forward, not backward, upward, not forward, and always twirling, twirling, twirling towards freedom!

What items AREN’T better than they used to be?

There is absolutely an abundance of cheap crap options out there but almost everything has a much better equivalent available today.

Battletoads (NES) I have a few but I want to call out this as it gets memed for it’s difficulty - and it was difficult - but not “can’t pass level 3 speeder bikes” difficult!

The game looked great, had extremely tight controls and had an insane amount of level variety! Each of the 12 levels was unique, from platforming, rappelling, biking, surfing, flying, racing, swimming, and even weird ass wall clingers! And they all played well - It also had the most banging pause music ever haha!

(Not helpful, but hilarious!)

I am curious to see if your opinion changes as you get through it, as the more I explore the more I find unexpectedly unique and interesting areas (caves, wells, ruins, manors, towers, etc) with unique and well designed enemies and bosses at every turn. It may help a lot that I have never played a souls game so it all feels very new to me!

I barely time to game, but have recently sunk 60 hrs into Elden Ring - with no intention of stopping! It is phenomenal!
