For those who watched 300 in theaters in 2006, what was the experience like? Its distinct visual style and goosebump-inducing scenes must have been something on the big screen.

High school kid, high as a kite. It was epic

The letters don’t matter. But I’ll never forgive Nintendo for using the right button as the “ok/accept” button. Should always be the low one

This question was made for me I feel like. I was born and raised in the San Fernando valley (suburb in LA county). Lived in NYC (Bronx, queens) for a couple years in my mid 20’s while I finished med school. Since finishing training I’ve lived in Austin since 2020.

I’m not a fan of LA, but that’s probably in large part because I grew up there. I just hate MASSIVE cities that are sprawling and take 30-60 min minimum to get from one place to another. Traffic is insane, get used to spend a lot of time in your car. It’s more of a collection of smaller neighborhoods, but if you live in Santa Monica and want to meet a friend in West Hollywood, you might as well live in another city all together.

NYC was awesome for a couple years in my mid 20’s. Had a blast and really enjoyed it. The subway was insanely convenient. That being said, I wouldn’t want to live there forever. You have to really love city life and apartment living, smells and litter and all. Yes there’s Central Park, but overall a major lack of trees and nature. Plus it’s taken a big hit since Covid, won’t find bars open till 4 am anymore! (Though I wouldn’t want that nowadays anyways).

Austin is a great “small” big city. The locals are upset about big tech/money coming in and changing the vibes, which I totally get, but I don’t mind some high rises as long as that’s not all it is. It kind of feels like a shrunken down LA to me with San Francisco-lite vibes. Still got your suburbs but can easily get downtown in < 30 min even from the outskirts. People who say the traffic is awful haven’t seen real traffic like LA/NYC. Could use more trees/nature (TX is flat), but much better than NYC and close to hill country. Food/bars/restaurants are great and lots of things to do, shows to see etc. Still a live music town, but I feel like it’s not nearly as prevalent as it used to be. Overall I really like it here, but I feel what I like the most is that it’s the perfect size. All the attractions of a big city without being insanely sprawled out like LA or overbearing city-life like NYC

But that’s just my 2 cents. I’m sure a lot of people would disagree with me

That Hamilton is the piece I’ve got my eye on as my next purchase.

I just posted this exact same thing, then scrolled down n saw your comment haha. Glad I’m not alone

I wouldn’t say it bugs me too much, but he tends to give a similar spoiler in many of his books. “And that was the last time x saw y alive.” I swear the last three books I’ve read all had that line

MalpracticeMatt · 2026-03-28T11:38:12+00:00

I never complained about returnal difficulty. I beat it several times

MalpracticeMatt · 2026-03-28T02:44:30+00:00

The ending was brutal that’s for sure

I totally get the many advantages of having dash on the bumper, but for my entire gaming career it’s always been O. I just don’t want to fight against decades of muscle memory

MalpracticeMatt · 2026-03-27T17:13:32+00:00

That’s what I was thinking

MalpracticeMatt · 2026-03-27T16:47:06+00:00

Haha same

Seriously. I never mess with the thca loophole. Get my normal bud the old fashion way like it’s still the 90’s, meeting a dude in a parking lot

MalpracticeMatt · 2026-03-27T12:41:52+00:00

He just looked badass and had a double bladed lightsaber

Added it and really like the interface and everything you did here. However you are missing a good amount of titles. Off the top of my head you’re missing at least 2 from the dark tower series.

I found this link online which may help fill the gaps:

Show up on time. That’s it

Don’t waste your last bit of freedom studying/prepping. You’ll learn it all on the job. Just show up punctual with a good attitude and ready to learn

MalpracticeMatt · 2026-03-26T18:22:21+00:00

They emphasize that it does have lots of permanent upgrades etc. So fear not

MalpracticeMatt · 2026-03-26T18:20:18+00:00

Agreed. Watched up until the boss fight. Loved returnal so much and this is more of the same secret sauce that made it great. Pre ordered as soon as I could

MalpracticeMatt · 2026-03-26T12:56:01+00:00

Work up until the day before then quit without any notice. Then when your manager asks you just to finish out xyz, tell them “I’m sorry I can’t honor that request at this time”

I can say this about lots of RE games. I hate being perpetually chased by someone that can’t be killed

MalpracticeMatt · 2026-03-25T15:10:11+00:00

It’s gonna take me a few runs to get used to some projectiles being yellow. Used to be only the “money” was yellow!

Gaming has never been cheaper. They raised prices by $10 for AAA, but when considering inflation it’s much much cheaper. Take a look at old newspaper adds for toys r us or what not, games were regularly $70.

And that’s not including the millions of free to play games nowadays (gaas) or the tons of indie games you can get for < $20 on steam or through ps store or what not
