Fair enough. If you do ever give it a shot though, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I’m currently watching Handmaid’s Tale for the first time (the show, not the movie. I haven’t seen the movie). I’ve never read the book either so no spoilers please. Anyway, it’s eerie how many things are lining up. Like you said, supposed to be a warning, not a guidebook.

Seeing all the awards it’s won, I’m honestly surprised it isn’t more popular. I don’t know what their sales numbers are obviously, but no one I’ve mentioned it to has ever heard of it before. I first discovered it at a restaurant that specializes in beer varieties, the server said it doesn’t get picked much but it’s one of, if not the best beer on the menu. I looked it up a bit more after trying it and really liking it, and saw it had a ton of awards and there was a beer magazine that called it the best in the world, so I thought I’d look for it figuring it would be popular, but apparently not. Maybe it’s big in Belgium, I’m not sure, but it’s definitely hard to find where I live.

I haven’t played this game, but to answer your other question,
And what is your favourite beer?
I’d have to go with Delirium Tremens. It’s a bit hard to find in Canada and a bit more expensive than regular beer but it’s definitely worth it.
- Comment on sales =/= quality 2 days ago:
Ah, good to know, thanks. Not sure I’ll ever need the info but I’m always curious on what’s popular, even if it’s not something I’m interested in. I know of both artists but don’t know much music from either and don’t care to. But it’s cool to see what’s seen as better or worse by the general fanbase.

Which is supposed to be the better album?
I don’t listen to either artist and don’t care for either of them from what I’ve heard on the radio and at malls so I’m not the best person to judge. I’m curious what your thoughts are though (and what the general consensus is).

I’ve been mostly emulating Pokemon games this past week. It’s hard to find time to play anything right now so being able to pull out my phone or go to my computer, play for a bit, then set it down and not worry about it has been very useful.

I played a bit of 3 back in the day but never finished it. I loved it though. I do own the trilogy on pc, I should really go through the series.

Alt text on the image says “Knesset”, which I had to look up but apparently is “the parliament of modern Israel, established in 1949. It consists of 120 members elected every four years” according to Oxford dictionary.

I see what you did there.

I’m from Canada.
It’s not America.
As a Canadian this is the realist thing ever. Half our identity is being not-American.

This reads like something Chris Simpsons Artist would say. Back when I used to use Instagram I followed his account and all of his captions were like this. It was great. Glad to see someone on Lemmy writes like him.

Thanks for the links. I’ll be sure to check them out soon.

I’ll check out that list, thank you.

I’d definitely say to either go Emerald or HG/SS next. I’d say those are the two peaks of the series.
For Gens 1 and 2, honestly they’re pretty rough these days. I like them but I don’t think someone just entering the series now will enjoy them much. They’re super janky and are missing a lot of features. Gen 2 is my favourite (hence HGSS being my favourite games as they’re just the Gen 2 remakes) but they’re not easy to get into these days. After Gen 4 the series goes a little downhill imo but it’s still good. I have no experience past Gen 7 though as I don’t have a switch and haven’t learned how to emulate one yet.

I really enjoyed reading your comment, I like your writing style. Even though I can’t relate to any of the games you mentioned I still had fun reading it anyway. And your paragraph dividers are neat. Haven’t seen that used before.
What movies have you been watching? I’ve been wanting to get more into old sci-fi movies.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 week ago:
How are you liking Pokemon Platinum? I find Gen 4 tends to be either loved or not cared for depending on the person. I personally loved those games, though HeartGold/SoulSilver is my all time favourite.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 weeks ago:
Huh, this actually looks really neat. Seems there’s a demo, I might have to check it out.

- Comment on 10+ year manager named Joe was apparently fired for bringing cookies to be thrown away before their sell by date to a food pantry in my town 2 weeks ago:
I just recently became a department manager at a grocery store.
For us, any product close to expiry has three options. Reduce price by half, put product on FlashFood (an app for connecting grocers and shoppers to sell product at steep discounts), or freeze product at or before expiration date and donate to the food bank. Depending on the product, some can also be reused as an ingredient for the meals section. The goal is zero food waste for the whole corporation by 2030. The only exception to that I guess would be damaged product (punctured packaging, bad seal, etc).

What happened to southern Ontario 😔
Otherwise 100% accurate map
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s the one. If you can find it for cheap I’d say go for it. It’s a bit shorter and the map is a bit smaller which I personally liked, and it had some gameplay aspects I preferred, but they’re close for me.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 3 weeks ago:
Have you tried AC: Origins? Similar gameplay. Most people would probably say Odyssey was the better game of the two but they’re pretty close. I personally preferred Origins but liked them both.

- Comment on How accurate is this? 3 weeks ago:
I’m also in management, and, yeah. Trying to get everything done with such little labour is a nightmare and I end up picking up all the extra work. I don’t want my staff to have to stay late so I do. I’m yet to leave work on time.

I feel that, I haven’t had time to play a game in over a month.

Elden Ring is probably my favourite game ever. It’s got some tight competition but whenever someone asks me what my absolute favourite game ever is, I default to Elden Ring.
