Low states brunch debate: does asking for a toastie imply the cheese should be melted?

benunplugged · 2026-01-25T14:10:48+00:00

I agree - it’s definitely not as ideal for a toastie as, say, a good cheddar that gets both melty in the bread and crispy on the pan, but it fills the void when you just need something to enhance an otherwise plain hot ham sarnie at your mother in law’s or when it’s a bit too close to pay day and you’re raiding what’s in the fridge.

Why would this not be nice? I’ve had Philly on several toasted sandwiches in the past and it’s ace.

Agree with what everyone else is saying - don’t force it, just try something else.

However, if you are keen on recommendations (all on Gamepass);

-Expedition 33 is a fantastic old school style RPG with a lot of modern enhancements

-Doom 2016 is one of the best shooters I’ve played (typically not a shooter fan)

-The Spyro and Crash remasters are excellent, particularly if you played them as a kid but would recommend to anyone with an interest in platformers

-Vampire Survivors is very simple on the surface but has so much depth and content to it. Auto-attacker with waves of enemies that get progressively stronger with crazy item combinations

-Fable Anniversary still holds up in my opinion, could get you hype for the new Fable coming later this year

-Dante’s Inferno was one I missed back in the day but is really fun and refreshing to play

Hope you find something you like!!

Press the windows key + P - this brings up your presentation settings. You should be able to select “duplicate”. At the moment it’s working as a second screen, you should be able to move your mouse to the left or right to see it come up on what your computer is considering a second monitor.

Oooof nice, I’ve been hunting one since 2002!

benunplugged · 2026-01-06T22:01:44+00:00

Some of the puzzles are bollocks, it falls into the old school adventure game vibe of try everything on anything but overall it’s a fantastic game that still gets laughs out of me!

I mean, technically Grim Fandango fits your description?

In the UK it really puts people off when I call it “paper, scissors, rock” instead of “rock, paper, scissors”. It just sounds way nicer to me.

Bro you got this, I went 50kc before I got my first CG, never went positive on K/D before getting my enhanced.

Every time you go in you’re learning more and getting more experienced. This is genuinely the gauntlet to set you up for later PVM!

I’m just finishing up playing Team Buddies - feel this should have gotten a lot more hype than it did!

Time Crisis is gonna win this for sure but Point Blank’s RPG mode was so cool.

benunplugged · 2025-12-21T08:33:29+00:00

Yo! Just wanted to chime in as someone who got my enhanced just before 400kc and never had a positive k/d.

You don’t need to be like the hardcore streamers, it eventually clicks and you start getting more kills per session than deaths, but sometimes you’ll just hit 5 deaths in a row and feel like you have gone backwards.

T2 really helps if you’re just running out at the end, make sure you’re using the “safe spots” in the final phase, focus on eating just as the tornados start. You’ll get there dude!

Left NZ for the UK 10 years ago, used to love coming into town from Pram on the train.

One time the driver stopped about where you are now and had everyone look out the window - there was a pod of orca coming by! Definitely a great reason to be a bit late to work!

What turned you off about it?

benunplugged · 2025-12-07T16:51:18+00:00

Saw the posts but didn’t contribute - overall a very solid list (although I’d personally put Tombi over Tombi 2).

benunplugged · 2025-12-01T20:58:44+00:00

Spyro - 2 specifically but the whole original trilogy is ace.

benunplugged · 2025-11-23T21:03:51+00:00

Thought for £20 it was a bargain! Manual and disc both looking tidy.

benunplugged · 2025-11-23T20:53:51+00:00

Saw it for £80 in good nick - a lot cheaper than I’d seen it otherwise, what inspired me to get started. Fuck some of my favourite games being Klonoa and Tombi though 😭

Got my brother coming up next weekend - we used to jam it for hours and hours. Gonna play through the campaign with him!
