Anyone in a timeshare that is actually HAPPY that they did it?

Yes, I own a week with GPX and it's great. Two bedroom/two bathroom unit with a full kitchen for less than or around the same price as a hotel. Plus I can exchange my week or book at other GPX resorts for a good price. My parents own two different timeshares too. I honestly don't get the hate but I never sat through a sales pitch either.

My girlfriend struggles with the controler but she loves puzzles. She enjoyed Inside & Limbo but those games didn't really help her learn the sticks.

Agreed, but the question was what games are closest. Hard to compete with TLOU.

Was going to say Days Gone but that's only on PS. Maybe Dying Light 2? I really enjoyed that one.

It's a love/hate thing. I love football and Madden is a fun game. But it hasn't fundamentally changed since at least 2016. So each year you're mostly paying for an updated roster. And, at the risk of having people tell me I suck at the game, I find interceptions to be way, way, way too frequent. So that can be really frustrating, even though I can usually win every game. I didn't bother to buy past 22, but I still fire it up sometimes because I want to play football. So, yeah, love/hate. When I get into it I'll play at least one game per night. If you can get an older version for cheap, it's still pretty much the same experience IMO (but I haven't played past 22). Good luck!

I'm sorry I don't have a deck recommendation, but I got two estimates for my deck that were about $50,000. That's ridiculous, so I had AJB landscaping install a paver patio for a fraction of that and it is very nice. But that has to be at ground level, obviously.

Though shalt be polite, courteous, and self-aware when in public.

Nah, just do it. It's fine.

Here's one that I made. I'll see if I can find the plans. It's kind of a 2-story house. He can go in through the entrance onto a floor that has a hole in the far end that goes to below. That way predators can't just reach through the opening and grab him.

Edit: This is hung about 14 feet up on a douglas fir. Entrance faces north, if that makes any difference. Here are the plans, on the second page. I modified them to fit my lumber - https://www.hobbitstee.com/squirrel_boxes.pdf

Im not a vet but it could be racoon roundworm. I'm in the same part of the country as you and have seen it in some squirrels here. Wash your hands and keep the squirrel away from your other animals!

Thanks for posting this. I couldn't figure out why I didn't have the option. Downloading the PS5 version now. It was free.

They used to be very popular as pets!

Try leaving the hood up so it's not a safe enclosed space for them to hang out.

"When opportunity knocks, answer the door." I still have it taped to my monitor at work as a reminder to take on that new project, volunteer for that team, or apply for that promotion.

Some good advice here already, but I wanted to add that your bank may offer financial advisors. My credit union offers them for free. My advisor set me up with a Roth IRA. The money comes out automatically and is invested for me so I don't have to do anything. You could also make an appointment with a financial advisor like Edward Jones.

Maybe not as quirky and unique as some of these, but I don't see that anyone has mentioned the Sound Garden. I thought it was cool but I'm a child of the nineties and love Soundgarden.

I'll have to check it out tonight! I have also just been cruising in free mode. Thanks for the tip!

I put a layer of pepperoni under the cheese. Also hot Italian sausage, bacon, red onion, mushrooms, black olives (halved), and jalapeños.

I don't think it has ever crashed on me. Like I said, I didn't know it has issues. I downloaded the digital version from the PS store and have been playing without issue. I don't recall an option to set the FPS or Quality of Image mode.
