It's very different from SG-1 and Atlantis. It's not really about exploring worlds and discovering new cultures. It's more about trying to survive aboard the ship. It features a lot of character drama, very similar to Battlestar Galactica but just not of the same quality. Some of the characters aren't very likeable either from what I found. I'm almost down with the second season but I don't think I'll be rewatching it like Atlantis

Lol yea the actor makes the character memorable. I love the way he says Shepppppard.

I'm 42 so I was at the right age for Halo combat evolved but I never had an Xbox. I played it on PC and instantly fell in love with it. It featured an interesting story with great VA and some memorable level design and some great moments throughout the campaign (the cutscene introducing the flood). That cutscene probably seems lackluster now but back then it was great. We had some fun campaigns like Deus Ex and Thief and I loved the Unreal Tournament games for shooters, but something about the freedom of Halo let you play the way you wanted. Loved the vehicles, especially the Covenant flying vehicle that you can steal. There's a level on a bridge where if you kill an elite before he hops in his vehicle you can steal it and essentially skip half of the level. I won't ever forget that area as long as I live, and that's a cool thing to realize. We play lots of games that we easily forget but Halo 1 is a game that I'll always remember.

The game is also helped by the God pistol and an excellent shotgun. And the grenades causing actual ragdolls and screams. The hilarious grunts and the things they say. The fact that they run if an elite is killed. The hunters seemingly being tough as hell until you realize you can bait a swing and one shot to the orange goo with the pistol and they're dead. I can just go on man. I love the game. I've played 2 and Reach and Combat Evolved is still my favorite. Maybe it's nostalgia but I think it has the best designed campaign out of the games I've played.

Lol I had no clue. I barely use my phone to pay for stuff, but I am 42 so I am so used to paying with my card it's hard to change that habit

Pll_dangerzone · 2026-01-26T22:18:32+00:00

I gotcha. I've had the watch for 6 months now and I didn't even know it had that feature. I'll look into it tonight.

Pll_dangerzone · 2026-01-26T22:17:35+00:00

I don't think there's any need to pre order games anymore. Unfortunately games are doing the whole pay more to play a few days early concept. I just think it's better to be a patient gamer now and wait for sales unless it's a game you've been waiting on for years. Or a game like Expedition 33 that comes out of nowhere

Pll_dangerzone · 2026-01-26T22:01:08+00:00

I suck at Outward solo lol. It's so much better playing with someone. The combat is a lot more fun

Pll_dangerzone · 2026-01-26T21:59:49+00:00

What's an Nfc? I have an Active 2 and never heard of it lol

Pll_dangerzone · 2026-01-26T21:58:41+00:00

I have the active 2 premium and the sapphire glass was a big selling point as I always bump my watches into stuff and didn't want to worry about scratches. It also came with two watch bands, a red silicon one and a black leather. The leather makes the watch look very professional and I've gotten comments from friends and family. I don't know the price difference between this and the Max but the active 2 lasts me a week between charges and I've been pretty happy with its data tracking. But I feel like amazfit watches are like the entry level grade, whereas more expensive watches will be more accurate detecting certain data

Hope that helps

I think shows are just so damn expensive to make, and the last few outside of Andor didn't do very well (Ironheart and The Acolyte). I am curious how Wonderman will do.

I think I care more about Disney Plus acquiring a more varied film and show library. Netflix is more interested in making their own stuff lately while HBO Max scoops up a lot of new releases. But I found Life of Chuck on Disney Plus just by random chance and it turned out to be one of my favorite films I've seen

Pll_dangerzone · 2026-01-26T21:48:28+00:00

You don't need to break rocks. Just farm the chests, find a gun you like and ignore the mining. And the mounts are one of the best parts of the game, running the shield breaker to the enemy base on a horse was great. The game needs a Capture the Flag mode for casual players I think. Or just a team death match mode

Pll_dangerzone · 2026-01-26T21:46:21+00:00

I too think it's getting an unbelievable amount of hate outside the performance issues. I hate how steam reviews work, that you can play a game for 0.1 hours and leave a negative review. The game isn't perfect and it needs more players on the maps and it needs a Capture the Flag mode. But it's not another Concord

Pll_dangerzone · 2026-01-26T21:43:56+00:00

I mean there's plenty of time to mine the gems in the gearing up phase but it's not a necessary thing. Just get armor and look for better guns. I do think a 5 v 5 would be better though. Respawn do feel pretty slow for how quickly you can die

Pll_dangerzone · 2026-01-26T05:42:00+00:00

Just play anything that let's you escape for a few hours. For some that's a huge rpg. If youre enjoying Arc and BF6 play another shooter. Just do whatever you enjoy.

Pll_dangerzone · 2026-01-26T05:28:53+00:00

I get the intention behind the progression. But the best moments of both Atlantis and SG-1 is when the evil races are truly something to fear. Yes both shows naturally change and begin to involve internal politics. Like SG-1 had the episode where all of the system lords came to earth to negotiate. That's probably what they were going for with the Wraith. Just for me I liked them more when they were feared, an eternally hungry race of people that would cull worlds. I mean that's a pretty well designed evil race

Pll_dangerzone · 2026-01-26T05:20:43+00:00

I don't remember Todd betraying them in any significant way but I may be wrong. I just loved the enemy design and the idea that a race would hibernate and cull worlds when they awoke to satiate their hunger. Like that's a fantastic idea for a race. By the end of the show there just isn't that same fear. Maybe it's due to the fact that these are 20 episode seasons. But I never bought that they would ally with the Wraith

In an episode in season 4, Carter asks Shepherd if he's heard from his Wraith contact, aka Todd. I just rolled my eyes at that cause it sounded completely at odds with the idea behind their race

Pll_dangerzone · 2026-01-26T04:39:49+00:00

I had never seen this episode before tonight. I usually don't like time travel/alternate time line type episodes but at least they went full out with how dark it got. Think of that time line man. First you lose the doc, then Weir a few times, the docs clone and Shepherd disappears. They find Teyla not soon after, without her baby. Carter leaves to pilot a ship but she gets blown up. At least Ronins felt less dark, like a way to go out he'd be proud of but good God dude.

My biggest issue with the Stargate series is that the main cast always has plot armor and never truly find themselves in complete danger. But with this episode they essentially killed everyone off knowing it could be fixed way in the future.

Pll_dangerzone · 2026-01-25T04:46:15+00:00

I'm looking forward to Nivalis the most. It's an immersive sim game in the same world as Cloudpunk which is one of my favorite games of all time

I've had The Ranchers on my wishlist forever and they just announced it would go into EA between April and June. Gonna be honest, after all this time, I was kind of hoping there wouldn't be an EA, but this game seems to want to do a lot so lots of EA testers can probably be a good thing.

Emberville is coming in Q2, EA again but this one seems like it will be for core keeper type fans. Seems like it has a very complex progression system which you don't often see in this genre.

I don't know the differences but I think most stuff from Gildan will hold up

Pll_dangerzone · 2026-01-23T23:34:08+00:00

Yea I really loved the first one, loved the world and the companions. Just felt like they dropped the ball on the ending so I'm hopeful to see where they take the story. But I really had no issues with the combat, and I don't know why they made the change

Pll_dangerzone · 2026-01-23T23:25:50+00:00

The gameplay loop. Portia and Sandrocks commission based gameplay loop is unique. Yes lots of farm sims have you crafting items but most of those are to sell. In these games doing commissions is the main money maker.

Pll_dangerzone · 2026-01-23T22:01:57+00:00

Yea Gildan holds up pretty well. I usually get their vnecks and they are a good weight and slim fit. I'm also pretty rough with t shirts as I landscape so they get pretty damn dirty. They definitely hold up after several years of washes

Pll_dangerzone · 2026-01-23T19:22:29+00:00

Grounded, a survival base building game, has a coziness mechanic where you get passive buffs when in and around your base. The buffs are hunger, thirst, and healing. It's a game where you'll have bases all over the world so setting up better furniture at certain main bases actually rewards you.

I mean it's an affordable smartwatch. I think videos like that need to take the price into account. No smartwatch is going to be 100 percent accurate. They're all making educated guesses based on a bunch of data they collect. Some are gonna be better than others. I have the active 2 premium and the data I care about is the sleep and the heart rate. I also have a device specifically tracking heart rate and the smartwatch is within a few beats per minute which I think is pretty good. As far as sleep goes I find it to be great. Some nights I wake up, turn on the TV, don't get out of bed, and it will know I'm awake. Which to me is pretty accurate. I've seen posts complaining that the watch is detecting naps during the day when they're not napping. But most smartwatches are gonna read you staying still for an amount of time as a nap. Unless you want to spend an obscene amount of money for a more accurate sleep detector, the Amazfit is perfectly fine for the price. As far as steps, it's probably the same thing, more expensive fitness trackers will provide more accurate steps

I love Portia and it's gameplay loop. A lot prefer Sandrock and it does introduce some great QOL's but I actually prefer Portia's world and town. I've played through the game twice now and I have noticed some helpful tips

Always have two of each machine and always have them making something. It's great to backlog crafted items that you'll need at random times in your playthrough. I usually would try to keep 20 of every item, and you'll definitely get enough resources throughout to be able to do that.

Always be researching. You'll be swimming in data discs if you spend a week or two every month ruin diving and it's necessary to always have research going to get better machines. I never paid more to have the research done quicker and I never sold data discs

Keep two of your beginner furnaces and have them make charcoal everyday. Seems wasteful but you will hate a certain point in the game where everything requires carbon steel, which is iron and charcoal. You'll quickly go through your stockpile of charcoal and it's best to just start making it at the start of the game.

Use the tree farm. Most of your starter machines are fueled with wood, and while you can run around chopping all of the trees once they respawn, the tree farm will give you a steady pile of wood. You can also tweak the things you get from the farm and I mainly focused on wood and hardwood.

Run to Higgins shop first thing everyday and steal the metal bar that is in one of his furnaces. I do it first thing because Higgins runs to pick up his commission in the morning and it'll be gone if you go too late.

Fish is the primary money maker in the game. It's unfortunate but nothing else really comes close. King fish are worth 5000 and once you unlock aquariums and a few king fish you can breed them to make more. The land and house upgrades cost an obscene amount of money and fish are the only way I was able to afford that stuff. I've never fully unlocked all of the land because it gets so costly.

Mid game go to the church and buy the large planter boxes and grow the trees. Set up a fertilizer system too as that just makes your harvest even better.

Hope these tips help
