I’m kind of surprised by how many people have an answer for this already considered. I don’t think this is something I’ve had to consider since primary school.
I’d probably consider the day over just because I would be worried by whatever medical condition led me to shit my pants out of nowhere.
The trick for anything is time and consistency. Choose two or three things from this list and plan when you will devote a few hours each week. During your “practice” time, find and use learning resources online.
Some of these ideas are also shorter-term kind of forming things (like avoid brain rot, touch more grass), so I would also dedicate time weekly to think of/plan concrete changes in your life to accomplish them. Rotate through the list until the habit is fully formed.
Like Russ and Rebecca, from Chums?
Marauders is fun! Solid gameplay loop. It is more basic than Tarkov in a mechanical sense, but this means it’s easier to convince your friends to play and easier to jump in and out of. It’s still a more tactical and methodical shooter than a lot of what you find in the mainstream. There is also a pretty unique space flight mechanic as part of the raiding process that the devs are still working on.
I’ve gotten my money’s worth for sure. I think I’m around 130 hours played so far, and I could see myself putting in at least twice that as development continues. More if my friends keep at it too.
How do you figure?
Single player social media, perfect.
I thought the same about Liftoff. I downloaded it and Connect at the same time and felt ok about both, but didn’t see them as improvements over Jerboa. As of five minutes ago I started giving Connect another shot; the Sync hype has me wondering if the grass is greener anywhere but I’m not willing to drop $20 to remove ads for a federation access point.
I also really liked this one. I’ve seen other people complain about aspects of the story, but I felt like the story hit me way harder than it had to to be serviceable.
I mean, yeah? I don’t use a wash cloth anymore, I use a different kind of scrubber that dries out quickly, but when I used a wash cloth I just used a different one every day. Marginal impact on my laundry and a pack at Target was cheap. Every day I could wash my face with a clean cloth and then wash the rest of my body.
Yup. My childhood best friend reached out after learning that I was getting divorced a few years back. He lived out of state but was in town visiting family, so we got dinner. It was good to catch up. I ended up being one of his groomsmen and we still talk/game together, although distance still prevents us from meeting IRL too often.
I love that! If it’s your first time through, I hope you both enjoy it!
Ayyyyy, are you reading The Shadow Rising soon? I liked it more than the Dragon Reborn.
The Broken Earth Trilogy by NK Jemisin. Fantastic and heartbreaking. It’s kind of a crossover in science fiction and fantasy, set in a world that experiences apocalyptic levels of climate and geological change every few hundred years. Jemisin does excellent world building and a very admirable job of writing parts of the narrative in second person in a way that seems seamless/not gimmicky. Highly recommended.

Thanks for your concern, but I think I understand my own enjoyment of things and my financial situation better than an internet stranger.
I was going to buy it anyways, even if it’s a mess. If I spend the money now, the game feels free later.
I actually haven’t preordered it and might not, but this is how I felt about Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and Bethesda games are at the same tier for me. I have hundreds of hours in every game since Morrowind; I’ll eventually get my money’s worth.
This is a good feature to bring back to modern games. Anyone else remember F10 from Counter Strike?
The Battle of Chile is a three part documentary about the military coup against Salvador Allende in the 1970s. Patricio Guzman and his associates recognized that crazy things were about to happen and took to the streets to capture as much footage as they could, knowing that a record needed to be kept. One of the cameramen was disappeared, tortured, and presumably killed, while the others smuggled the footage out to Cuba.
It may feel too prescient for American audiences now. Gods, it was plenty powerful to me as an American watching in 2012. It is well worth your time.
