Greater accomplishment than anything I’ll ever do.

Cyberpunk for Xbox. 10 bucks lul

Can I piggyback off this thread? I want to be a little more social as well (or at least try). I would be happy to play just about anything on Game Pass. TheGard90

I barely look at the Steam store page anymore, even during sales. I think I’m more or less done with buying new PC games at this point.

I’ve always liked nail polish, and I’ll do mine when I’m home alone on my day off. But I have this extensive list of hang ups and insecurities that add up to mean I can never do it around anyone I know. And I’m sure nobody important to me would actually care. But I’ve built it up so much in my head over the decades, it’s become this intensely personal thing I can’t share with anyone. I can tell y’all because none of you are real and will never meet me in real life. And I’m sure talking like this will make some people go “…eh?”, so there’s that.

Before labeling it like that, you should ask cancel culture if it identifies as a shark.

What do I look like, a guy who couldn’t use a free game?

Yeah, this show is a lot of fun right out of the gate.

I have the Xbox version of that Steelseries set. No complaints.

Phone Booth- A lot of the big movies lately are bloated 2.5 hour epics, and now I’m realizing that they’re all bullshit. This right here, this is all you need for a movie: one location, a handful of great actors yelling, and a premise that barely sustains a full hour.

All I want from a show like this would be something like the Star Wars: From a Certain Point of View short story collection, but as a TV series. Like, if they're going to do try to retell the story from the trilogy, I barely want to see Shepard and the crew of the Normandy. Been there done that. I'm reaching the end of ME3 now, and while I love these characters, I've already spent 100+ hours with them in this format. I want to see what the rest of this galaxy is like for the people who aren't the Chosen One. My favorite episode would be all about a random dude on the Citadel. At the start of the episode, he's standing outside of a shop, chatting with a friend about some old war relic that belonged to his family, but it got left behind when they had to evacuate their home world. He goes about his business. Takes his kids to school, gets in an argument with his partner about dinner, gets in trouble with his boss, all that regular life shit. Weeks later, he happens to be outside that same shop again, when Commander Shepard, the MOST IMPORTANT HUMAN IN HISTORY, stops by and says "Hey, I heard you were missing this. There you go." hand him the artifact, and sprints off to cure the genophage or whatever.

This is high on my list of dream remakes.

It's not close. His head is just that big.

And when games leave GP, they do it right: let you know a month in advance, and give a discount if you want to buy it. Games just don’t vanish with no warning.

I haven’t seen much other than Ted Lasso and season one of Servant, but Foundation and a couple of others are on the list.

Not directly, but it does make the fairly compelling case that without his plan, without him pushing them into tennis from a very early age, without his hustling to get them the top coaches, their professional careers wouldn't have ever happened. Now obviously, to become the top ranked players in the world, you need to work you ass off and have a ton of talent, no matter what your dad's 78 page plan has in store for you. Ultimately, they are the ones on the court doing the work, they deserve the credit. But without him, would they have been on the court in the first place? Would they have stayed in the game long enough for them to somehow naturally play their way out of Compton without his help? This movie suggests not.

Story time! About 5 years ago, I was working at Target. One of the seasonal hires assigned to my department had the worst BO I've ever encountered. Like rotten eggs, Doritos, wet dog, and sulfur from the 6th layer of hell combined. You would smell him coming from around the corner before you would see or hear him, zero exaggeration. It was so bad, I thought it had to be either a symptom of something severely medically wrong or a prank. I gave him the benefit of the doubt the first day. We all have bad days sometimes. One day the water got shut off in my apartment building with no notice, and I had to go to work without a shower. But no, it was consistent. After working with him for a couple days, I realized: in no scenario on Earth would I ever say anything about it to this man. Which in turn made me wonder: do I stink? Am I causing people to cartoonishly gag every time I walk into a room, and everyone is just too polite to say something? Eventually I had to confess this to one of my long time coworkers, who assured me that no, I don't smell worse than the trash compactor on a 100 degree day. I smell fine. If anything, my combination of body wash and deodorant might be a little too strong at times. As for Mr. Stink, he didn't last long, but he did some good for the store on the way out. The store manager, possibly the worst manager I've ever worked with, bought a bottle of cologne and dumped it on him when he was sitting in the break room one day while yelling about how he was driving away business. He filed a complaint, quit a few days later, and that incident (with multiple witnesses in the room and also caught on security cameras) was enough to finally get her fired.

Solid movie! Great performances all around. I don't know a ton about the real life story, but from what I understand, the broad strokes of this movie are pretty accurate. It does focus on the Richard Williams character more than any other for most of the run time, but it makes sense for the time period of the story.

Hot damn. When I got rid of most of my disks a few years ago (before a move) I just dumped them for trade in credit at a local place. But I don’t think I had anything particularly rare/valuable. It was mostly 360/PS3/Wii games.

Having an online mode so popular, Rockstar could basically stop making new ones.

Apparently this is the first “main” series game to not be developed by them (according to Wikipedia).

My first thought is Portal 2.

I use the Dominos app to track my mental health. I’ve only ordered it once in the last 6 weeks, so I’m doing alright. When I’m getting it once a week or more, that’s when things are really dark.

Specifically, you can’t run the country via Twitter.

I have no interest in that story, but that is a compelling cast.
