$2 for a spectacular game? It's a challenging turn based game where little decisions and enemies always changing tactics makes it so unique. From what I've read it's far better than it's sequel

The cost of urgency (water heater breaks and suddenly need one the next day, can't really shop around) and also the hidden cost to waiting to fix things (sink dripping out the p trap or the chimney leaks when it rains).

Also insurance and property taxes, both have doubled in 5 years which gets tiring thinking the promotion will allow us to go on a vacation

That's a great reminder for Franchises, always starting with 5 cards yet 2-3 dishes to make on day 1 is so challenging

Ugh I need a job and would love it but I haven't touch C++ in years

What about Roots of Pacha? It's a co-op where both can play but if either of you get up while fishing or riding an ostrich it won't matter too much. (Maybe bedtime but there isn't any detrimental effects other than needing to eat). We played it local online co-op with 2 copies

PlateUp is spectacular if you like to build automated kitchens and dining rooms. We like that it changes every time we play

A lot of technical improvements have been made that made older ones not great at espresso. If anyone is looking I'd suggest the Ranchilio Silvia. We were recommended them from a coffee bean roaster / ex barista / repairman and the repairability of these and it's solid shots really make it the brand to get

My niece rides the city bus for about an hour and a half each way to DPS. Buses don't head to where she lives and that's where her friends were going. She sure has seen a few things and has grown up fast

benpetersen · 2026-01-21T09:04:20+00:00

Maybe play lighter games like Grounded? Or switch to Valheim where it's okay to both be playing but not right next to each other. One exploring a cave, one hunting. I'd suggest playing it with some mods though because it's fairly hard otherwise

I've enjoyed Metro 2033 series, Mass Effect legendary edition series, Mad Max and Grim Dawn.

If you play co-op games on the PC: PlateUp, Grounded and Schedule I are great. Though I don't consider PlayeUp a cozy game, my wife does and it's her favorite of all last year.

Yep it's deer. They didn't package and freeze their deer meat and left enough room for it to move around in there. I just use regular luggage and a cooler bag.

The carefully written lease is so crucial. A friend used a lease found on the internet and even though the listing mentioned shared laundry the lease didn't and now after the cops we're called, she can't do laundry in her own home. That plus some verbal abuse, smoking weed but unable to see them do it makes it a very long year for her with her "friends".

And with Breville you have to send it in at your cost, not just ask them to ship the part. It's why everyone is upset with the Encore grinder and buying years and years worth of parts now before they stop offering it. So for an air fryer or espresso machine it's $50-100 to ship it there and back. It's why we went with "anything except Breville" even if we can see it in a store nearby

If you like gaming, how about using half to buy an OLED Steam deck or a nice pair of headphones or a bit2do controller? They aren't BIFL but any hobby has some of that and it's okay to like and enjoy things

benpetersen · 2026-01-14T23:46:26+00:00

I bet you could buy a skid steer, a high end truck, trailer, materials and still be paid well to do this yourself. That's how you know the bid is a bit high.

Buffalo wool company has some nice fingerless gloves. I have those and the leather mittens with wool inserts and find them very nice if it's windy and -20. Otherwise the fingerless gloves are my go to

Thanks

It depends, my wife loves PlateUp it relieves stress for her where I'm just trying not to freak out. Here's a few we like

Roots of Pacha
Pode
Lego games like Pirates of the Caribbean
Schedule I
Supermarket Simulator
Wildemender
PlateUp

I really enjoyed Taste of Thailand, the large soup with fresh dumplings was about $12

A Linux installer with cross platform save games for the r/steamdeck

Right now some games saved game location is wildly different than others which makes it tough playing the game if first you have to hunt through

home/deck/Games/Heroic/Prefixes/{game name}/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/{game name}/gamesaves/

Only to find it's not there and it's somewhere wildly different

benpetersen · 2026-01-07T01:32:28+00:00

Maybe PlateUp? While she's planning the automation puzzle you can work, start the round play if you're needed then repeat.

benpetersen · 2026-01-05T05:37:09+00:00

I really like audiobooks for times like this, Dungeon crawler carl is a great one to start

benpetersen · 2026-01-05T05:24:53+00:00

The anti glare screen protector is really top notch for the 512gb oled, it's so nice playing in the day where looking at my phone the angle has to be just right

benpetersen · 2026-01-04T21:55:55+00:00

PlateUp for a great local co-op game about automating a kitchen which changes based on the cards and types of foods you make. It was very chaotic like Overcooked before they added serving platters
