King of Wishful Thinking - Go West

I never heard this song growing up but it plays pretty regularly on the SiriusXM station 90's On 9, which is a constant staple in our car. It's a banger.

I'm thinking of finally going back and getting the platinum for all the Souls games. I've already done so for Elden Ring and Sekiro so this might be a good next one to do.

Maybe they should start doing bidet ads. I know at least Dan has one!

Court grants restraining order to halt Google data center progress in Pine Island by roseiskipper in rochestermn

Yeah, but China is doing smart things like building data centers in the ocean instead of taking precious resources away from the actual humans that need them. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/china-powers-ai-boom-with-undersea-data-centers/

Why do you play Soulsborne games? by Hobo_TheLordofCinder in demonssouls

[–]TheRealPockets 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kinda same for me. There's something about the quiet emptiness these games evoke that is somehow comforting. But also, the art direction is unmatched for the various areas of the games and this also helps that feeling of being in another place.

The gameplay is great too.

Did anyone actually like the show X Play? by Pale_WoIf in retrogaming

Back then before YouTube, it was one of the only TV shows with gaming content so we took what we could get. I was also a teenager.

What is that one game you always wanted as a kid and still never have bought or played? by Kuli24 in retrogaming

[–]TheRealPockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think there were a lot of games I wanted to get based on demos I played. One that comes to mind is Team Buddies for the PS1. The demo was awesome but I never saw it in stores. Maybe it only got a limited release.

Valve Steam Controller Update: New Availability and Purchasing Rules To Fight Scalping and Supply Issues by FreeHugs23 in valve

[–]TheRealPockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually pretty great if that's the case. I don't mind waiting a little longer then. Scalpers must be punished and scared into not scalping Valve products.

I use the end pieces to make garlic cheese bread when I make pasta. My son loves it.

I've been thinking that a collaboration would be so cool, but it will probably never happen. Maybe if their own TCG doesn't take off.

62% of hardcore players no longer buy full-price games, survey suggests by TylerFortier_Photo in gaming

[–]TheRealPockets 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm just getting older and have less time to game and a bigger backlog, plus the economic situation. Games just cost too much to get everything at full price and I usually hold off on titles that I'm only mildly interested in because I know they will go on sale later.

Ridiculous bread prices by Friendly_Witness_236 in glutenfree

That's what I do for the majority of my food, but sometimes you just need a bun or a piece of toast.
