    Ohh thanks! I'll have to check that out! I didn't even think about checking for a game lol

    I built my current PC with a friend back in 2013, and I've done some minor upgrading since then, but yeah, most of my knowledge is out the window at this point so maybe this will do the trick :)

    100%! I love controllers that use AA's. So much easier to replace the batteries. I'm dreading the day I need to go hunt down replacement batteries for things like my DS, 3ds, Playstation controllers, etc. It's probably not hard to find replacements. But it requires more work than just whipping out some rechargeable AA's and calling it a day lol

    This seems like a dumb question, but ima ask it anyway. Is there a more interactive or "fun" way to learn the process of building a pc? I know there are certain compatibility issues parts can have with each other, and I want to learn how to do all this.

    But I feel like the info is really dry, and instead of just memorizing information, I want to make it fun, lol.

    I recently have been thinking about this and it makes me wana learn another language. I feel like translation work is really cool. I feel like we sometimes take it for granted

    I really like chromes tab grouping features, I wish firefox had that. But adblock is more important than groups so the change wasn't too hard to deal with

    At this point, 6 figure jobs seem to be a pipe dream regardless of the color of your collar.

    Obviously, it is still attainable, but from my personal view, it seems like salaries don't keep up with inflation and it's a race to the bottom

    Sorry ima offload a thought and then get into the good stuff so skip the first two paragraphs if you want to just see the positives.

    Today is one of those "if I finish my work efficiently and properly, why do I get more work? I don't benefit from doing it faster." days.

    I've been doing this job for almost 6 years now. I'm not sure if I have ADHD, or if I'm just bored or what, but it's incredibly hard to focus.

    All that being said, I'm doing well! Got a 4 day week this week, so that's always cool, and I've eaten a bunch of yummy food this week. The other day I got this sesame chicken rice bowl from a local food court, and I'm still thinking about it. It's living in my head rent free lol

    I also tried Takoyaki for the first time, and it's such an interesting food. Nothing like what I expected. Very gooey, warm center with a tiny bit of octopus. I thought it would taste more fishy, but there was only the slightest hint of "sea" in it. It was mostly savory and smokey flavored. Delicious! I've been thinking about ramen now as it gets cooler, and I definitely want that at some point.

    I've been streaming horror and horror adjacent games this month, and things are starting to pick up a bit more. Since the last time I posted, I grew from 100 subscribers to 220+(!?) So that's exciting. I'm looking forward to checking out the Dead Rising Remaster soon. I love that game a lot. Such a charming and quirky game.

    Theres this cool spot I like to go walking with tons of squirrels, and they are starting to get chunky as the weather gets cool. It's always funny to see, so I'm hoping to catch their progress this weekend. I hope everyone else's week is going well!

    I want to try it so badly! I loved that they leaned into the Japanese themes and imagery, too. I think I'll definitely have to make some time to play it.

    I want to also play persona 3 for the first time, but it's like 100 hours or so, and I look at that number and think, "That'll take me 6 months to finish." Haha maybe I'll hermit myself inside the house this winter and smash it out in half that time

    People listed Mirrors Edge, and I would like to also recommend it. It might take some time to adjust to the controls but it's fun! I replay it a lot. I've lost count but I've been replaying it since release.

    Titanfall 2 was a fun campaign. Also cool movement mechanics.

    One game that I think got average ish scores but I enjoyed was Pneuma: Breath of Life. Idk why but I thought the puzzles were kinda fun and it was pretty enough.

    The Stanley Parable

    Catherine

    (Kinda visual novel ish) AI Somnium files was fun.

    I recently played the Little Nightmares DLC. It came out in 2017, and there were game breaking bugs still left in. I think people have just been burned so many times by unfinished products at this point

    At one point, I actually wanted to have kids, but now, as time has progressed, I don't at all. Financial issues and time commitment are both major issues.

    I've realized I start to get a bit of a visceral response when I see stuff like this. It seems like such a slap in the face.

    She, and many of her subjects, see a country hobbled by relentless individualism: people turning inward, pursuing their own happiness and success instead of investing in others. “Maybe what ails us is not our freedom per se, but something we mistake for freedom—being detached from family obligations, which are actually the demands that save us from egoism and despair,” she writes.

    Stuff like this gets me. I've been helping myself and my parents stay afloat lol. But naww it's people being selfish right?

    See the world they said, it'll be fun they said.

    No, but for real, that is terrible. Poor people finally get out of their prison country only to be used as cannon fodder. Wars are so stupid.

    A good chunk of the 3DS library. So many titles I haven't gotten around to yet.

    I need to eventually finish monster hunter iceborne and then play Rise! I have a feeling I'll probably end up just jumping to wilds though. It'll probably be hard to go back to older titles when that game releases.

    The Yakuza series! I have only finished zero, 1 & 2. They release them faster than I'm getting to them lol.
