  Maybe it’s a lesser known cover/lift of an 80s song?

  Dan Brown is American not British.

  Children’s nursery rhymes shouldn’t be the foundation of geographic knowledge of someone in their 30s.

  I stopped building my own PCs over a decade ago because I was barely getting the parts at the same rate they would’ve come in a pre-built, ram was always hard to get, good deals “sold out” so quickly, and if a part goes bad it’s easier to take it to a warranty repair than it is for me to fight with the vendors myself.

  My main machines recently have been low power laptops, my steam deck, and my phone, using GeForce now has allowed me to play most of my games on shit hardware, and my 10 year old games run just fine (mostly) on my 5 year old laptop.

  Any educated guesses, or layman guesses, about the price?

  My layman guess is 600-800, the low price being same price as the top end steam deck on release

  I’m pretty sure that’s how a lot of YouTube game previewers sell themselves to publishers. “Look how badly I can repeatedly play games, I’ll do a 1 off and never bother to learn any of the mechanics, and my viewers will need to purchase it themselves to see how it’s actually ‘meant to be played’”

  I got suckered 3 or 4 times by northernlion back in the day before I caught on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I played the demo of smt5 (which is how I know you’re referring to shin megami tensai (sp?) in case anyone else wants to experience it) and it was a really fun game, definitely faster to pick up the gameplay, and it reminded me, in many good ways, of dragon warrior monsters and Digimon, but at the end of the demo I was hesitant to pull the trigger because there are so many other games that deserve some play time.

  I’ll definitely go back to it when it’s on sale, and I’m going to give p5 a, maybe not fair, shake.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Path of exile 2 is free this weekend, and has a new season starting in a few hours, I’m trying to get my friends together to jump in.

  It’s not very in the spirit of this sub though, but it did take a lot of patience to get here.

  I’m still kicking around the idea of getting no man’s sky, but it hasn’t dropped enough yet.

  Persona 5 was in the humble bundle, I’ve yet to get into a persona game (tried 3 and 4) to the point of “gameplay” there’s so much story than just doesn’t connect with me before the gameplay starts. Makes me miss Pokemon Red/blue.

  Who says fish are “real”? In the Oxford dictionary of underwater life there’s no such thing as a fish!

  Huh??

  There are more identified species of cichlids in lake Victoria than there are of all terrestrial vertebrates.

  There are different species of trout and Salmon that are outwardly identical (need to look for throat teeth).

  My favorite series is disgaea, but I wouldn’t recommend it to most people, it’s over the top game breaking silliness.

  Chroma-squad is often overlooked, but captures a lot of what name 90s trpg’s great and improves on the formula quite a bit.

  The absolute best trpg imo is “bionic dues”, I feel like it you enjoyed into the breach you should definitely give bionic dues a shot, it’s such a different style of game,

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m closer to 40 than 35, and my wife recently gave up ever replacing “college blanket”, which was actually bought for me in early high school after I asked if I could take my grandparents comforter home with me. They found one and got it for me that Christmas (I think it was Ross/home goods), it was probably the most generic comforter ever, I always thought I’d be able to find another when needed. After 2 cats, a dog and the better part of 2 decades, my wife decided it was time to let it go and get a replacement, no problem, it’s the most generic comforter ever. She gets me a nice duvet, so we can keep the inside nice and replace the outside as needed, nope definitely not the same. She gets a comforter, it’s stitched way too tightly, and doesn’t breathe the same (okay maybe a 20 year old blanket has gained a bit of aeration, maybe it breathes better than it did when it was new, but you can definitely tell the padding is stitched much more tightly than college blanket’s ever was), she got me a “cooling” comforter, it’s decent, but paired best with college blanket, and when I only have 1 blanket 9 times out of 10 it’s college blanket.

  Now college blanket has had 5 cats and 3 dogs and the majority of my life, it’s been the bed of desire for multiple animals, myself included, and my wife sometimes asks for it when she’s sick. Apparently it’s really scratchy, and holey, and it’s closely missing about 20% of it’s original fluff, and I would put it away in a place of honor in a heartbeat if I could find a new one. I swear it was 40 dollars at a home goods store, in a pile with a hundred others just like it, but we’ve looked for the better part of a decade now, and it’s been deemed irreplaceable. It would probably be the first material thing I went for if we had to evacuate. I’m not highly sentimental, but you don’t let a good blanket go.
