That dude looks straight out of the Yakuza games.

I'll be trying the open beta but my expectations have definitely been tempered.

I can't imagine the stress of trying to order one of these.

I'm in the camp that believes these ridiculous prices are just cover for money laundering. The art is getting shittier because anything can be art, why bother putting any effort into it?

This has been a damn busy Monday so far. We got this, the Facebook shit, and the island of South Dakota and its billions of dollars. Any natural disasters hitting too?

Part of me wants to read through all of this because I find it so fascinating and slightly infuriating that people are getting away with this. Then the other part of me is like why bother. What would really change?

Casablanca

My wife has a friend whose whole household has a ridiculous cold. Husband, wife, 3 kids all have it. Been 2 weeks and they are finally improving, still coughing stuff up though. They got Covid tested twice and still negative. Hope you get better sooner rather than later.

Yeah what the hell is up with trailers these days? Are people really out there saying they want the entire storyline in the previews nowadays? I watched the Halloween Kills trailer a while back and felt like I saw the whole movie. It's gross.

I can see people buying the N64 controller. But $50 for a Sega Genesis controller? Ehhh... no thanks.

Back in June we got an envelope from USPS. It was this official envelope that had an apology on it. Said something like "sometimes accidents happen or your mail was destroyed". Opened it up to find a ripped back page of a coupon flyer. Dated 6 months prior. They sent us the remnant of a piece of junk mail. We had a good laugh about it. I think i still have it somewhere.

Forgot this was only a $10 upgrade. Now I'm glad I didn't put a lot of time into the game originally. Definitely upgrading to this.

Seeing the names typed out makes me cringe a little bit. But I'll still wait for a trailer to get a feel for it. Part of the problem for me is I cant associate any big Hollywood names with the Mario franchise in my head. Just 2 different mediums that are now colliding.

I had this example when I bought the recent Aliens game. The more expensive version comes with 4 pieces of future dlc. I don't think Playstation Store specifically stated its cosmetic dlc. I only knew when I read about it online. And what is the cosmetic dlc going to be? You're just supposed to pay them money for a promise now, and hopefully you'll like whatever it is they put out.

That house destruction looked pretty nice.

Definitely. I ate a bad burger at a restaurant once. My stomach wasn't the same for at least 2-3 months afterwards. Persistent irritable bowl problems and I couldn't keep weight on. That was like 15 years ago and very thankful it hasn't happened since.

I should be in love with this, but not hearing any voices is bugging the hell out of me when watching the gameplay videos.

I was 11 years old when Saving Private Ryan came out and I went with a friend and his parents to the drive in. Kids movie was on first (I think was Dr. Dolittle) and then SPR showed right after. My parents would have flipped their shit if they knew I saw that at 11 years old. I remember them renting it later on and afterwards they were like "You definitely won't be watching that movie!".

Actually my wife worked at a big early child care center for years that was connected to an evangelical church. And those were the people hyping up the products.

Do you have a need for a 4k blu ray player? If so a new console would be the better option. I looked into a standalone 4k player and the price was close to $200 at the time.

My wife fell for this shit all the time. She didnt get into selling it seriously at least. But she would go crazy buying a product thinking it's great, and then someone mentions she should sell it and I always talked her out of it. We've had plenty of LuLaRoe leggings in our house, Thirty-one bags, and essential oils. She's much better now.

Doing what cnut mentioned sounds like a great idea. I would steer clear of benzo's for sure. I imagine the changes your body is going to go through might feel scary but just stick with it. I can't speak to severe alcohol withdrawal but the changes my mind/body has gone through the last month and a half is pretty wild. I started some bad habits shortly before Covid. Like staying up late, binge eating till 1am,and drinking beer or mixed drinks each night. Getting 5 hours of sleep, I just said it was enough. Stopped buying alcohol and drank up what I had left. Ate a little less each night. So many aches/pains were popping up, bad mood, tiredness, some bad chest anxiety popped up which I never had before. After that first month all of that was gone. Im eating surprisingly clean and exercising on a schedule. Weight went from 196lbs to 182lbs. My mind feels clear. If you can start it and stick with it, you're going to feel so much better.

I want to see more.

I flew from Pennsylvania to Atlanta, then to Florida last week. I was surprised at how much leg room I had on each flight even with the cheapest tickets. Did wearing masks on the plane bother you at all? Flying doesn't usually make me nervous, and masks don't usually bother me, but I felt like I was starting to hyperventilate half way through the flights.
