  1. Nice. Never played that one, but I was feeling in the mood for some Middle Earth action the other day so I downloaded Shadow of War. I loved Shadow of Mordor when it came out, no idea why I skipped the sequel.
  2. I’m not quite at that level, but my rent and general cost of living is low enough that I can get by on my current pay without much worry. Money is a long term concern, not a short term “can I afford to eat this week” one.
  3. My investment account has made 12 cents in the last two weeks, so I’m well on my way.
  4. Definitely tried both of those back in the day. The PSP/Vita was where I first trying to get into the series (also had Oath in Felghana I believe). I have a couple on Steam (1&2, Origin), bought 8 on Switch, played some of 9 on PS+… 8 is the only one I stuck with for more than a couple hours. I dunno, they just don’t click with me, which is fine. But I’m sure after X gets great reviews and I see it on sale, I’ll try again.
  5. Ys is a series I keep trying because I feel like I “should” love them. I got decently far into 8, but after like 15 hours or so I kinda lost interest when I realized how much game was left.
  6. He’s too busy prepping his commune, but he promised to get in touch when my plot of land is ready to build my tiny home.
  7. It’s the same mindset that’s helpful for all of their games. When you reach a roadblock and what you’ve been doing up to that point doesn’t get the job done, try a different approach. In the Souls games or Elden Ring, that might require grinding to level up in order to be able to use a different weapon/spell, or finding some specific item or armor set somewhere in the world. It’s so much easier here because everything is just at the shop. You don’t have to use a rare item to respec or any of that arcane nonsense. Just buy a bunch of parts, slap ‘em together, see what works. And since you can sell parts at no loss, there’s no buyer’s remorse. So far (just completed chapter 3), I wouldn’t call it easy, but that freedom of experimentation keeps it from being too frustrating in my book.
  8. I was about to come here and complain about a bullshit fight (AA22 Heavy Cavalry Warrant Officer) but first I tried entirely switching up my strategy by going head-on with the beefiest tank build I could assemble. Took him out the first time that way. It was sloppy (haven’t used a tank build since the tutorial), and my terminal armor was active so I was at 1hp, but hey, a win is a win! This game is incredible.
  9. I definitely had a moment where I thought “why did they hire this lookalike instead of just getting Grande?”
  10. I had lower back issues for a good 14 years or so after a minor car accident. The stiffness/pain was never crippling, but very consistent and annoying. A combination of exercise, yoga, and changing jobs has finally brought it down to almost nothing. About 4 years ago, I developed severe carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists. I ignored the symptoms for too long, and eventually it got so bad I needed surgery. I still have hand/wrist issues, but with compression gloves I can do pretty much anything.
  11. She wouldn’t have said anything if you didn’t keep @ing her. I can bump my petty bickering thread if you want to keep going.
  12. Hit my first decision point… and I completely missed it because I stomped the guy so quickly I didn’t realize I could spare him.
  13. I reinstalled TF2, which Steam says I haven’t played since 2016. My anus is wholly unprepared.
