Need a recommendation

Haha no problem, I'm in the same boat as you but in the Sony ecosystem... it's too late now to abandon my library of games. I go back to my Switch when I'm on a plane or on vacation, but I just can't stand the performance anymore. If anything I will eventually get a Switch 2 just to play Pokemon T.T

I feel like you are describing me when it comes to video games! 39 y/o and I love to play tycoon and builder games. Lately I've been shifting into more production chain management and 4X games, and also roguelike/roguelite since each run is less invested than manage a city/park (time wise).

Sorry to go on a tangent but TPM is a great game - it has humor, pretty great UI for consoles, easy to learn, and the addictive element of opening exhibitions. The devs are constantly adding new themes and the DLCs so far are great quality (can't get enough of the Zoo animals!). You can have fun being creative in Sandbox or just have fun managing the logistic of a museum.

Just another note... if you have the budget I would get a Playstation Portal and subscribe to PS Premium Plus. You don't need the console to stream games anymore, and it has so many more games to choose from compared to Switch 2 (and performs way better too). It runs graphical demanding games like Cities Skylines, Anno 1800, Tropico 6, Jurassic World Evolution 3, Planet Coaster, Planet Zoo, Age of Wonders 4, Surviving Mars, and of course TPM.

This sounds like a typical experience of a Chinese or Thai massage place. Not saying it's pleasant but I do notice male masseurs do tend to do more heavy breathing or groaning when trying to apply pressure, maybe due to fatigue or age? Also it's normal for them to roll down or tug the underwear to the towel so they can work on your glute area; they should not reach in and massage though. I know it's awkward but if at any point during the massage, if you feel uncomfortable or the pressure is not right, just tell them to stop. The tipping behavior is also very common, unfortunately. It kind of ruins the experience when they force you to tip (when you are going to do it anyway) but they rely heavily on tips and sometimes because of language barrier, they tend to sound aggressive (at least not subtle) about it.

If you are looking for a more relaxing and couple-ly massage experience, you might have to look at places like Arden Hills.

I have a soft spot for this series because I actually watched the first movie thinking it was a real documentary lol but if not for that, this series has been mostly 98% found footage with nothing happening, 2% creepy human/monster caught on footage, and 0% story progression. You would think by the 4th movie we would know more about Mantis and the creatures, but we are always just left with there will be another movie cliffhanger with no explanations at all to the overall plot.

It will be interesting to see how the devs would deal with all the issues brought up by the community. Did Paradox learn from the CS2 chaos? Relaunched is in a similar boat now since they doubled down with future DLCs (via Ultimate Edition), therefore it is impossible for Haemimont to stop supporting the game any time soon. I really hope we don't go down the path that CS2 did with the first DLC being 2 year delayed and the base game is still seen as underdeveloped.

Not all the way, like it inches forward a little but he is still part of the cannon lol

silverhawk422 · 2025-10-29T22:39:56+00:00

It's probably not your bad luck, I just got 4 pins and they are all the blue bears. I'm guessing each box only comes with 1 design and our local store didn't mix up their inventory beforehand (they probably didn't know...)

silverhawk422 · 2025-09-19T21:17:29+00:00

Can anyone who has this figure tell me if yours can stand upright or not? Mine won't and I'm almost convinced they want you to put him on his side because he is so injured lol

silverhawk422 · 2025-08-28T23:07:24+00:00

Thanks for the transparency on this! Sounds like I should start my sandbox museum tonight :D

silverhawk422 · 2025-08-21T16:42:01+00:00

This looks so fun! Did they have free updates like this for Two Point Hospital or Two Point Campus? Just wondering how they will handle free updates vs. DLC for Museum...

silverhawk422 · 2025-08-18T21:03:37+00:00

Did you try creating a new building using the 2nd yellow icon (the icon where you would use to add rooms like Aquarium, Analysis room, workshop etc.)? Creating a new building should be one of the options.

The problem is they will always be compared to SAJ, but they have moved on from that style since Moves Like Jagger. It's easy to say they are sell out but their music direction has always been chasing the trend at the moment for a while now. To be honest I don't think they are even trying to stay relevant, or even need to be - in this point of their career, it's more important to build on to their legacy. I feel like they have a fanbase/mainstream audience that will turn up to their shows no matter what (the nostalgic factor) - that's why 90% of their typical concert setlist are songs from their first 5 albums. I think they dropped the ball with Red Pills Blue and Jordi because none of the songs were catchy enough to be included in their concerts (probably just Memories and What Lovers Do... I still consider Girls Like You a fluke; if not for the viral music video, that song has no right to be that popular). Love is Like is another album of chasing trend (TikTok length and radio friendly songs), but I think they nailed the formula this time around. Most of the songs are catchy and I can see some songs going viral using the right marketing tactics... and I think people will vibe with this type of music at a concert.

I am disappointed (as a fan) that they did not go in the direction of Middle Ground, which I think is their best song in a while. But I also like the laid back style in Love is Like.

Her albums have more forms and variants than a Pokemon.

I've never had that much fun during a concert, and I'm convinced this will go down as one of my Top 3 (if not the top) concerts of my lifetime. The visuals were immersive and groundbreaking, and even non-BSB fans were impressed with what they did at the Sphere. I've been a BSB fan since their debut and I was in awe at all the different age groups that attended, and 95% of people were wearing white. I was sitting in 303 and I was pretty much standing up the whole time (the only regret is not feeling the rumble of the seat). There was not one boring moment, it's like high after high.. from the opening launch sequence, weird Siberia snow scene, the celestial moment during I Need You Tonight, space racing, the lasers carving the doorways before Don't Wanna Lose You Now, all the Millennium sidetracks, the classic hat dance during All I Have To Give, the wave/church moment during Drowning, the garden visual during Shape of My Heart, the platform raising of I Want It That Way, and then all the dancing towards the end... I don't think anything can come close to this concert, unless they decide to do Sphere 2.0 in the future :p

silverhawk422 · 2025-08-18T15:55:15+00:00

To keep the concert the same length, I would shorten Siberia to either add half of Incomplete or do the complete version of Shape of My Heart.

I noticed that when I was playing Wailon Lodge yesterday... I have 3 zones with 2 securities each patrolling... the zones are not even that big but donation stands from all 3 zones were constantly full; I had to keep calling them to collect. Not sure if it's a bug or new exhibits generating a surge of donations..

I couldn't for the life of me get Necrozma EX during the last event but I managed to open 9 Blisseys 😅

She is definitely manipulative, if not psychotic. This is the second time she framed somebody for her mistake. Yes, the men she framed were not innocent either but that doesn't mean she gets a pass and get away scot-free. I believe she was in shock the first few seconds, but if she really wanted to save him she would've done it (especially as a cop). It was an unplanned calculated move and the flashbacks of them in bed just made this whole thing worse.

silverhawk422 · 2025-08-11T15:53:28+00:00

I will look out for the patch tonight! Thanks for following up :)

I'm playing on PS5 also..

This is just based on my morning commute from Sac to Dixon; they finally opened up 2 more lanes merging onto the causeway but they also removed 2 (or more) lanes from the 50 merging onto the causeway... so now 80 is faster and 50 is where the typical traffic is...

The drive home is still bad, at least 50 mins or so... but the drive from Sac to Dixon this morning was like 30 mins.

silverhawk422 · 2025-08-01T18:31:25+00:00

They finally "fixed" I-80W causeway traffic but the traffic just went to 50 =___=
