Same, never finished BOTW. Finished a ton of shrines, explored everywhere and did all four divine beasts, then motivation completely crashed lol.

I’d be down for another side scrolling Metroid. Dread had its flaws for my personal taste but I still quite liked it.

Still have not convinced myself to drop 60 or 70 bucks on Prime 4, though.

Agreed! The retro anime aesthetic here is really cool. I love how the cutscenes look.

I am intrigued by FF Resonance. That’s a solid maybe for me.

I do not personally need an Ocarina remake but it’s neat that it exists.

I played so much Super Circuit on my SP back in high school. You nailed it when you said it felt like “more Mario Kart for the SNES.” I loved it for that very reason!

Heyyy, fellow FFXI player! Those were excellent time periods to play imo. I too took a break around the abyssea era (2010/11 I think?) but came back again around 2016.

I feel like the late 20-teens were almost a second golden age in terms of available content to play and community.

My Civ 5 experience was similar. Steam has me at 800 hours though I don’t count all of that since some was AFK. But 5 was just so addicting to me.

One of the later expansions kinda ruined it for me oddly enough but there was a time when I could just devote an entire weekend to it.

I tried 4 and 6 and neither worked for me at all.

I have a couple hundred hours in rocket league from playing with friends around ~2020. Was a ton of fun, even if I never managed to get any good at it. 🤣

Well the top contender for me is FFXI by a mile. But naming an MMO in a thread like this almost feels like cheating.

My next game after that would be Hades 1 with 421 hours.

Good for them. People expect the world from devs these days. It’s especially galling with a game like Peak that is less than 10 bucks.

Yeah, this is what makes me nervous too. I prefer to keep things dumb and rock solid where it makes sense to do so.

We currently have the bigger 6 quart mixer and are considering downgrading to the artisan for space reasons. I’m thinking I’d probably still opt for the older model.

Agreed, this feels like making a story out of nothing for clicks.

Big aeropress, glass aeropress, now metal aeropress! What’s next? Gotta diversify that product line for maximum profits!

(Disclaimer: long time plastic aeropress user here. 😊)

Ok this is really funny. 😂

Wow this looks great! I was somehow unaware of this person before, but I’m already seeing some recipes on their website I want to try. Thanks!

Ooh, these look good! I’ve been wanting to try my hand at these myself. As you said they are just so time intensive!

My favorite dipping sauce when I cook up the frozen ones I get from the international grocery is equal parts soy sauce, Chinkiang vinegar, and Lao Gan Ma chili crisp.

Our small group has had a lot of fun with REPO and Lethal Company. Both are very similar gameplay wise but REPO feels more polished imo.

There are no complex systems to learn and little or no progression at all so it’s easy to pick up and play.

I’ll echo support for the controller. People made fun of the original huge one, but the “S” variant and its successors felt quite good in my hands. I also have an Elite Series 2 that I use with my PC and it’s been great.

Really hope it’s a new game. I’m so hyped for this already don’t let me down!!

Well that makes a lot of sense then! Haha.
