Preach

Found minimalism this year, it’s been a game changer for me. Have reduced my wardrobe by half, worked through all the misc pantry items I’ve been hoarding (or threw out shockingly expired canned goods…), have away stuff from my basement. Feels amazing, less clutter and more control.

So much stuff was “good to have” or “just in case” with a layer of dust on it. From a mental health perspective it’s been really nice to go through and keep up with.

Pay wall article :(

Misery loves company

Legality is not a concern when it’s paid for

Similar, went to visit friends in rural Ohio and saw a tremendous amount of “yes on 1” signs. I had only seen like 2 in the city vs hundreds of NO.

Honestly made me really sad.

Good for Herbert. Crazy money for sure

Also saw them on this tour, was so fucking good. Amazing love experience.

Similar hours, I did Gerudo but skipped Goron area entirely so far. Wrapping a couple side quests (just finished the Laurelin Village water stuff).

Been using Heros Path to see areas I’ve missed and exploring but I’m starting to dial back. Decided I wanna leave a few things untouched for when I do a DLC re-play in a year or so.

Oof!

Not for lack of trying! He got that ropeware bug

The other recommendations you got are good, but add a slightly different style check out This War Of Mine. Disclaimer : it’s. Heavy topic game. You survive as a civilian in an ongoing warzone (in short). You craft you home base during the day, and either scavenge for meager supplies at night (suffering exhaustion) or sleep at night. It’s a fairly brutal game, emotional, but some people are into that stuff… A friend, yeah! Not me.

I was terrible when I started on Civ V, so confused and overwhelmed. I was interested though and read a couple recommended settings/actions and things started to come together more. Now I’ve got about 400 hrs in Civ VI

Any interest in Civ? It’s my relaxed game. So easy to pickup and put down (well… After 1 more turn…) and travels well.

Some people lack comprehensive explanations, especially when stressed. Video calls can help get a view of what is going on without guessing what the caller means.

People can still call, video is not mandatory. It’s an extra means of assistance.

Fuck, I loved this game so much! SO MANY HOURS spent driving, hovering and flying around. The races with that damn pig were awesome.

I absolutely love the entire album. IMO, every song is solid. Patrol is particularly fun, and Tower is amazing.

Love Massive Attack, seeing Rosamund in this was wild!

Love Joaquin, and Ridley has a good track record… but I’m feeling pretty cautious about this movie. I get the vibe they’re cramming too much in.

Still curious though.

…nah dawg.

I have ~8 games installed? If I wanna play something else I’ll install real quick and carry on.

It sounds like I’m a minority gamer in the sense that I only play 1-3 games any given week. I tend to have a storyline game (currently TOTK, previouly Horizon), a casual pick up (Civ or RimWorld), and an online game (Sea of Thieves or Deep rock galactic). When I tire/finish something it’ll go away for a long while and I’ll install something else.

Jordan! Fullfil your destiny!

Honestly Im setting the bar low. Hope he goes off MVP style, but I would settle for some good control and decent stats after 3-4 games.

Resetting expectations is kind of fun. I might hate it in a year, but we’re in for a different type of season and that has some new excitement in it.
