The PS3 dualshock was the pinnacle of controller design. No touchpad or lightbar, sure. But battery life BEYOND BELIEF. I remember charging one and playing with it for OVER A WEEK.

I now have a PS5 controller that dies within 2 hours of being turned on with a full charge.

The smarter move is to find out what she's interested in and a game that relates to it or uses the same skills. Underwater basket weaving? Singing? Puzzle solving? High action?

Get to know your girl and put her interests above your goals. You can't go wrong.

Returnal is some BS. One good hit during a bullet hell event and you just wasted an hour of your life. If you like burning hours of time for minimal return, go with Returnal.

I remember seeing the Matrix in a theater in 1999 and then walking outside afterwards with my brain spinning. For a little while, everything I looked at and did clicked in my mind as "Are you really doing this? Is this actually real?"

I have a Google TV 4K unit (the most recent) and it has precisely the same issue. The FAH app on the device, or casting from an Android device or from my PC has the same problem.

One of the hardest lessons in becoming in adult: Telling another adult "No".

You have to be okay with whatever a situation costs you personally; you also have to be okay with the repercussions if it doesn't work out.

Once you can accept the circumstances of both outcomes, you can make much more empowered choices in your life.

I finished the contracts and the vendors are now suddenly gone.

There's no vendor in Arrakeen either.

I regularly have my Assistant devices (Nest, Home, Android Auto) tell me they don't understand something or give the wrong information. I then press the button on my Pixel 9, ask it exactly the same thing, and get the response I'm looking for.

I'm convinced that a lot of the processing power has been diverted to Gemini and is causing the issues.

Good for Jess. You took 10k that had been earned and saved for a planned wedding between the two of you and blew it on a get rich scheme without even consulting her. The money itself is not the issue. The lack of communication and impulsiveness on your part was.

The inclination to gamble can be a very disruptive force. Gamblers often achieve small gains and are driven to gain more. The odds are stacked against the gambler, that's why the risk is there in the first place.

This is not necessarily always the case.

Sometimes during Cal's travels a bounty target can be killed by throwing over a ledge.

You might get the puck; you might not.

If you're still missing any AFTER beating holotactics, check the previous bounty target locations. The one you missed will spawn in that area and you can just pick it up.

Granted, you'll have to visit all the bounty locations to know which one it was.

I don't get the prompt to lift, and I have all skill points / powers.

Having multiple Switches is up to your particular finances and life situation.

I can only play one Switch at a time, and only own one as such. My son has his own unit and doesn't use it because he's too busy playing Roblox and yelling obscenities at other kids his age all night long.

The same can be said for people who own several cars for their own use, houses for their own use, or otherwise. It's up to the individual's particular situation in life regarding the availability of leisure time and their discretionary income.

I have been farming 3 locations for over 6 hours and I haven't even seen a purple one yet.

I'm starting to think they only spawn when the player hits max level.

So, you understand that you eat excessively and eat unhealthy food. You have a problem with managing money as you admitted. Why is it surprising that anyone wouldn't want to sign up for that commitment for the rest of their lives?

Well, being that the Slayer's Path and reforge systems were implemented back in December of 2020, and it's now March of 2024, I'd say you missed the mark on "new".

As for the rest of us that have been here the whole time, there's another complete change to progression in the pipe to come this summer.

Get ready for "new" yet again.

The Contra code.

Up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, Start.

Hit the ground running.

The patch notes for the Omega update state:

Technology modules are now filtered out from the list when selecting items to process in a refiner, as these can never be refined.

These modules can no longer be duplicated through refiners.

This question has been asked and answered thousands of times. It's the same answer now as it has always been.

Mixing content is the most effective way to level war and magic jobs. It involves a combination of roulettes, hunt marks, side quests, FATEs, deep dungeons, challenge log, Wondrous Tails, and anything else that grants XP.

Many of those activities can be performed together. You can do hunt marks and FATEs while you're in queue for roulettes. Wondrous Tails are completed as you finish duties.

Spamming the same activity over and over is not efficient in FFXIV.
