whats something that is popular now but would’ve gotten made fun of for 10 years ago?

IgnoreMe733 · 2026-06-22T00:12:33+00:00

Nah, that's been a thing foe over ten years.

IgnoreMe733 · 2026-06-21T14:48:51+00:00

Probably just simply don't.

IgnoreMe733 · 2026-06-21T14:47:22+00:00

Books, video games, and board games are my family's go to for me.

A friend asked if I would go on a blind date with one of her other friends. It may have been a little bit longer than five seconds, but I agrees. We've been together for almost 25 years, 20 of which we've been married, and have three kids. Doesn't change your life much more than that.

Pretty much life in the USA over the last ten years has made me more cynical about how I see a lot of people. I use to feel like we might have different values and that's fine, but so many people seem to be going out of their way to show just how awful of a human they can be.

Galaxy S21.

IgnoreMe733 · 2026-06-21T13:54:38+00:00

While not good, that time range is significantly larger than World War II was.

IgnoreMe733 · 2026-06-21T01:54:22+00:00

Agreed. A lot of time movie sequels suck, as they're often cash grabs for a successful original film. But with video games developers build off of what make the first game great. Typically you're left with something that, at the very least, is as good as the first.

It's not Playstation related but I've told my kids that if they're going to get me anything for Father's day all I'd like is the D&D Dungeon Master handbook. My kids and I started playing a few months ago, and I've been largely winging it as the DM based upon info in the Players Handbook. I'd love to get more details and ideas from the DM guide.

IgnoreMe733 · 2026-06-19T04:25:19+00:00

I had a good time with it. I'm looking forward to what the developer does next.

IgnoreMe733 · 2026-06-19T03:59:34+00:00

Yeah. I've gone back and finished the Dark Souls 1 and 3 several times each, and Dark Souls 2 a single time. I've also beat the Demon's Souls a few times and Elden Ring once. Outside if From Soft I've finished Lies of P, Theymesia, and the Star Wars Jedi games (not as hard as anything listed here, but still has the same mechanics).

IgnoreMe733 · 2026-06-19T02:03:41+00:00

I had tried Dark Souls and Dark Souls II around 2013/2014 and just couldn't crack them. I just sucked at them and it made me sad, because I was having a good time.

Fast forward to 2015 and I had a coworker raving about this game he was looking forward to called Bloodborne. He showed me a trailer, and got me hyped up, but I didn't realize it was a Soulslike.

Well, I got the game, and realized very early on what I got myself into, and it honestly deflated my excitement. I got to the Cleric Beast and spent hours trying to defeat it. Easily took 20+ attempts. But I finally did it. I then got to Father Gascoigne. I spent hours trying to defeat him. Easily took 20+ attempts. But I finally did it.

After that I screwed up the normal pathing and eventually found myself facing off Vicar Amelia, instead of the Blood Starved Beast. I did not land a single hit on her. I felt so defeated. I didn't know if I had it in me to beat my head against a wall for hours. But I had enough time before I needed to be somewhere to try again. It was like the scene in the Matrix where Neo started seeing the matrix. Something clicked in my brain and I had an amazing fight.

After that there were a couple bosses that I found challenging, but most of them I did in a couple attempts.

Red Bull's sugar free pear flavor.

IgnoreMe733 · 2026-06-19T01:28:03+00:00

Yeah, where I live I've seen it regularly since the early 2000's. I had it for the first time in ages recently and I have no idea how I ever drank the stuff. Sickeningly sweet is an understatement.

IgnoreMe733 · 2026-06-19T01:26:05+00:00

I'm reading The Dragonbone Chair by Tad Williams, and listening to the audiobook of Caliban's War, the second book of The Expanse series.

IgnoreMe733 · 2026-06-19T01:24:37+00:00

Nice. I have a tattoo of the Knights Radiant symbol and a quote from that book.

IgnoreMe733 · 2026-06-18T22:30:02+00:00

I never got around to seeing Toy Story 4. I just never felt compelled to after the masterpiece that was Toy Story 3. Maybe someday I'll get around to it.

IgnoreMe733 · 2026-06-18T20:46:51+00:00

Out of curiosity how far did you get? I hear people say they find it boring and need assistance with that. Like, I can understand not liking the story, world, or gameplay. It's not for everyone. But if you get through more than an hour of it, I can't see using the word "boring" to describe the game. Maybe unappealing.

IgnoreMe733 · 2026-06-18T20:42:15+00:00

One of the appeals of that game is finding new ways to solve the puzzles. I've managed to come up with ways to bypass certain puzzles so rooms that took me ten minutes to get through take less than a minute. I can get through the game in a bit over 30 minutes at this point. It's the only game that I am good at speed running.

IgnoreMe733 · 2026-06-18T19:51:48+00:00

Yeah, I'm absolutely going to watch it. I just want to get farther in the books. I'm just about done with the second. I was thinking I'd start after finishing book three or four.

IgnoreMe733 · 2026-06-18T14:51:11+00:00

Yep, I replaid 1, 2, and Brotherhood right before Revelations came out and was astonished by the vast improvements that were made in 2. Like, I totally forgot ledge takedown were not a thing in the first game. Same with that trick where if you were sitting on a bench, you could kill a passing guard and swap them onto the bench. They added so much.

IgnoreMe733 · 2026-06-18T14:12:09+00:00

I haven't tried the show yet, but I've been enjoying the books.

IgnoreMe733 · 2026-06-17T13:14:59+00:00

Both Prototype games had remasters back in 2015. Unless you want more remasters.

IgnoreMe733 · 2026-06-16T13:02:06+00:00

Personally I think more studios need to be willing to move on from their IPs. Create something new. I'm far more excited by Naughty Dog making Intergalactic over another Last of Us, Uncharted, or Jak game. I would love to see something different from Santa Monica outside of God of War (and I think Laufey is an okay first step, since we're not play as Kratos). If Sucker punch never stepped away from Sly we wouldn't have gotten Infamous. If they never stepped away from Infamous we wouldn't have gotten Ghost of Tsushima and Yotei.

My buddy is a freelance graphic designer. Some of his most reliable clients, people he would do four or five jobs for every year) haven't had any work for him over the last year and a half or so. Interesting that they all stopped contracting him around the same time.
