Honestly, if an indie game is promising, I’ll gladly pay full price. Pacific Drive, The Forest, and Inscryption (small sale) were all games that I picked up because of interesting trailers, premises, and very positive reviews :)

Man, I dunno if you like ebikes, but do I have just the website for you. Clunky, open source, and very you-flavored x3

I think you probably hit the nail on the head here. I’ve been holding off on MGSV because it’s $20, and I’m waiting for that 50% off sale.

Buuut, that didn’t stop my from buying silksong at full price. Or Factorio. :)

Just a heads up, you can also freeze fresh spinach in the freezer for smoothies! It keeps pretty well because it freezes into individual “chips” that don’t stick together unless it thaws. It’s excellent if you’d usually be throwing away spinach that was going to go bad. I recommend buying and freezing a large portion immediately in a freezer bag, just so it doesn’t get mushy in your fridge.

I have the moto g stylus 2024, and can confirm, it’s a great phone.

What if you just didn’t go home at first? Hit a climbing gym with buddies, or buy an ebike and use that to commute home. Interrupting your normal schedule and psychologically making home only a place of rest might help you reset your life a bit.

You don’t have to spend money either. You could even just hit up a park, the library, or hang out with buddies. We tend to go swimming lots once standard time hits.

I usually use something bleach-based for toilet and sinks, as they can start to get funky, especially around tile. Sometimes a bleach powder for the tub bottom, if it gets dirty and is difficult to scrub with simple green. I sometimes swap between simple green and bleach-based, depending on what I’m wearing. I’ve destroyed multiple pieces of clothing with bleach, unfortunately. It does really clean dirty things easily, though.

Also, alcohol wipes can clean walls, if they start to get dirty (eg, bug droppings, pollen, etc. we keep our windows open in summer)

Don’t forget the steep tariffs!

Bummer. I dislike the trend of migrating to batteries and soldered SoCs, more ewaste and less targeting of desktop GPUs for performance and physics simulations. No new games is unfortunate too.

I do like the Gabecube though, that will be excellent for people who haven’t ever used steam but are familiar with consoles. It’s a nice way to ease people in.

If you carve out a tunnel into the floor and have the entrance down a foot or two, the wind can’t blow directly in, and the cold air will sink to fill the tunnel/entrance with your sleeping platform being quite warm.

Anecdotally, yes. I was able to go from dusting my PC every 3-6mo to every year.

The filters are completely fuzzy on the air filters every 6-12 mo. I still vacuum and dust, just way less frequently. I also don’t wear shoes in the house.

I run them 24/7 in my bedroom and office.

GTA. Games 3 and 4 were good, 5 was kinda fun, but I’m not really at all excited for the same formula over and over again. Even battlefield feels a bit samey. Only indie games are really taking risks these days. And some of them are fantastic.

That’s a tough sell if you are trying to resell older components to subsidize new ones :/

Hmm. That’s worrying. I was probably going with AMD next to around, but them being semi-EOL’d after six years gives me pause. That would make my current GPU nearly be EOL.

Sounds like they are backtracking based on “market needs” which sounds like “we’ll support this until people get complacent” – not what I want to hear after spending $700+ on a component.

Also, for what it’s worth, hot sauce also makes you feel way more full/less hungry. If you need an addition.

Inscryption, 100%. Such a good game. Tons of post game content, too.

Gaming is a hobby, but just that. A hobby. We like to do other stuff like camping, skiing, hiking, etc.

It may be good to have an open discussion with your gf about doing other things, or a couple’s counselor. The latter might be easier if you are unsure about how to really talk about it.

Someone hopped a nearly 6 foot tall by 4 feet deep construction barrier blocking both ends of an out of service escalator, with multiple pallets or replacement escalator stairs stacked all around it. (The elevator was in service right by the escalator)

Anyways, they predictably fell through the massive hole in the escalator and cut their shins to ribbons on the exposed stairs. They then got to the bottom of the train station platform and were bitching about their legs. Eventually, they hailed a police officer just to bitch and whine further about their gouged shins. The officer had the grace to just listen to the guy and not call him a dumb motherfucker for hopping the multiple tall plastic barriers and signs. I was just shaking my head in amazement until my train came.

They’re lucky that they didn’t fall the 30-45 feet down to the train platform by hopping the construction barrier either.

Wow, things really haven’t changed all that much, haha. Pretty sure you can get essentially that exact same design at outdoor stores.

Just out of curiosity, how?
