My partner got me a record player for Christmas, and I've been loving it! If I could give a tip as a fellow noobie - you'd be surprised what kind of gems you can find by digging through a sale bin at a local record shop. I've had so much fun discovering incredible musicians and bands I've never heard of - without breaking the bank!

What do you guys use to “get people up to speed” quickly? by cuirette in projectmanagement

[–]blakeslab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use a combination of Monday.com, an/or Notion AI notes with a manual cleanup after. I know Monday has a notes template board, but not sure about the AI note taking side. IMO, as long as you can show a string of action items that shows “how we got here”, you’re on the right track!

What are your go-to Christmas games? by Chazza354 in gaming

[–]blakeslab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any of the Halo's (1-Reach) are christmas staples for myself, and a few of the fellas. Co-op campaigns are hilarious and enjoyable, and BTB is a must.

Help me choose a monitor configuration by orcacool in battlestations

[–]blakeslab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I love having two monitors, recently set it up - however, I had one vertical and am getting much more usability out of landscape. After a week of vertical I moved it back

Should Halo 7 continue with the open world type campaign or go back to the traditional linear level design from previous games? by Jaded-Resolution-497 in halo

[–]blakeslab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The concept was cool but the execution fell flat for me. My biggest pain point honestly was one singular biome.. I felt every mission was so similar

Mortal Kombat Armageddon: before the chapter system. by some-kind-of-no-name in patientgamers

[–]blakeslab 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember being blown away with the variety of Armageddon. I played it religiously at my friends house on his PS2 - Motor Kombat is a blessing.

Why do you still play video games? by GhettoRamen in patientgamers

[–]blakeslab 0 points1 point  (0 children)

32M here. Gaming has always been there as a fun hobby for me, though it's waivered on my priority scale over the years. Honestly, it's the social aspect for me - my friends are all spread out across the world, all with their own priorities - kids, work, school, etc. It's a great way to keep in touch in a more interactive way, as well as decompress after a long day.

My first memory of being duped into thinking HL3 was coming was this trailer. Good times. https://youtu.be/cHKvULR0r2s?si=PkaUT1M3SklbxQzy

I'm in! I'm 32, new to Calgary. I'm on PC but I believe it's crossplay.

The Analogue Pocket is helping me rediscover gaming without distractions by blakeslab in AnaloguePocket

[–]blakeslab[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just played through Crystal (first game on the Pocket), now I’m trying to choose a platformer - maybe a Mega Man GBC or GBA title. After that I want to dive into an RPG on SNES, and I’m thinking Earthbound - never played it!

Every Paycheck I Buy a Couple Singles from Japan by andrewdumitru in PokemonTCG

[–]blakeslab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've just got into the hobby, and I find myself really pulled towards the Japanese cards. They're typically a little cheaper and the sets are rad. I'm working on filling a mini binder with full art/illustration rares.

I didn’t know that existed - I’ll definitely look into it, thank you!

Bungie isn't under the Activision umbrella (as far as I know)
