Took me a second to realize these are locked behind glass.

Maybe I’m alone on this, but if I see a product that’s locked up, which usually isn’t locked up, then I’m not asking for assistance - I’m just buying it somewhere else.

The only trim I need is rune (t)

I just CBA to use hex keys. Get an electric screwdriver with a decent hex bit set and it’ll last a lifetime.

To identify bird calls around you the Merlin Bird ID app works well

Propaganda works

I’ve always said that if you really wanted communism or socialism to take off in the states you’re gonna have to call it something else

I also don’t use cis because the machine has already made that a thing people don’t want to be called

I’ve played both of those, and I really enjoyed Talos 2 since it mostly just fed you lore while you were trying to do a puzzle, but don’t ask me what the story was because I couldn’t tell ya.

I didn’t mean I couldn’t connect with the story in just those games, but in games in general. So when I talk about a game, I don’t really put much weight into my thoughts on the story, just the mechanics.

They removed the options to skip battle animations for the newer games. There’s an option that removes cutscenes, but that doesn’t affect anything in battles like the ten minute long terastallizations.

Yeah, my wife and I like going through archives to find shows that didn’t age well, then show those scenes to friends for laughs.

Was watching some 1940s Looney Tunes, and you expect and see racism, which makes it predictable, but every once in a while, they get in a joke or bit that catches everyone by surprise.

Here’s a scene that took place in the middle of a nice episode about National Parks: https://youtu.be/p0wtlI8qF1Ehttps://youtu.be/p0wtlI8qF1E

Yeah that’s the way to go, sadly. Funny enough I was eventually able to enjoy Pokémon through the fan game Pokerogue then a RuneScape rom hack called pokescape

Pokemon - having to watch animations and not being able to speed anything up killed my interest

Skyrim - tried a melee run recently and the combat feels like you’re whacking air

The legend of Zelda - played Tears and the story and puzzles were a bit too kid friendly

Doom - I really tried to like it but I felt like I didn’t get anything out of it. It doesn’t scratch that itch I get out of FromSoft’s Souls games where I want to learn a boss’s patterns and die to it a million times.

In general I don’t think I can do story games anymore

Personally, I’m skipping the Switch 2 because I used my Switch 1 like four times since its launch.

The Switch 2 will likely have games similar to ones that came before it, so if you haven’t been tempted into trying those, you probably won’t be into the new ones.

Like, I’d want the Switch 2 for Mario Kart World but then realized that I played Kart 8 like twice. Online play didn’t scratch the itch, my wife sucked at it, and it was hard to get a group IRL together to play often.

Maybe try emulating some of the older versions of games you’re interested in. It’ll at least give you an idea of how much fun you’d have on the newer versions.

Also ask yourself if you’re a handheld gamer. I don’t think I am which is why I also don’t use my steam deck ever.

If you spatchcock your bird then you’ve only gotta slap your cock to about 150°F at the thickest part of breast
