I’ve gotten it in two flavors.
One is people who are so convinced that life has no meaning without children they feel like they are saving you by pressuring you to have kids.
The other, and far more angry, seem to have had kids because they thought they had too, or had a “happy accident”, and aren’t actually happy about. They see you as the life they could have had.
I have a few times in life, but I’ve always found a new one.
Each time I’d get deep enough into something, tech advancements always made that thing functionally obsolete.
Once again I’m watching my skill set being phased out, but am working on my big last hurrah project right now that I’ve dreamed of for years. Having a great time doing it, but have already started the process of replacing it over the next 18 months.
The one plus side now is that the company I’m with has already invested in my training for the next big thing. I’ve been through it enough times that I don’t feel like I’m losing something or wasted my time.
This was my first thought, one of my favorite series.
Mass Effect and Dark Souls are my favorites when it comes to gaming.
I just don’t fall that way on a skateboard, so I never wear one, though knee pads are a must.
I will never ever ride a snowboard without a helmet. I’ll ride a motorcycle without a helmet before I’ll ride a snowboard without one.
If you don’t feel it, don’t do it. Some injuries don’t heal right, and many of the hobbies I enjoy have a pretty damned high risk factor. Almost every single time I’ve had a serious injury, that little voice was telling me “This one might not end well”, and I went for it anyway.
I could have walked away, called it a day, and come back another time. It wasn’t a contest, I was just out filming a few tricks for my “You’re turning 40 and still doing it” video. Didn’t stretch, didn’t warm up, and my over enthusiastic filmer was all “Try this, do that”. Ended up collapsing my knee and fully tearing my MCL.
Between that and a few neck and back fractures over the years, my mobility and flexibility are pretty well shot. There are things I just can’t do anymore.
Sure I still skate, and am amazed just how much I can still get away with, but now every minute on the board includes a constant “Is this safe? Is this worth it?” chant.

I’ve had most of them, the big exceptions being the SNES and anything Sega. I think the one I’ve used the most, have had the most games for, and hands down my favorite, is the PS4.
PS3 and N64 are a close second and third.
So train lines instead of belts, and inserters directly linking assemblers to each other? Wow, that base must be huge.
I have done some basics with trains, and a bit with circuits, but multi resource trains always jammed up on me and became unbalanced so I’ve basically kept them to single item type each. Plus, playing on console without keyboard means naming things like stations is a slow pain in the ass.
The one that felt most impressive at the time was a successful Mun mission in Kerbal Space Program.
First time I beat subnautica was on permadeath mode, that took a damned long time.
Relatively new to the game, have launched two rockets. That seems… very tedious.
I’m guessing you rushed robots and then did it end game that way?
I was jazzed to not use lasers and only steam power on my second play through.
One thing that is often over looked is proper monitor height. You can’t have good posture if your monitor is too low.
Mount and Blade, both titles Kingdom Come Deliverance Elden Ring Ghost Recon Wildlands
I’ve got untold hours into Ghost Recon, but once they released the permadeath ghost mode, it’s the only way I play. I even made a youtube guide on how to speed run the first hour for various perks. Sure I could beat the game in normal mode, but it just seems too easy.
George Carlin said it best, yes a receding hairline is annoying, but no where near as bad as an advancing hairline.
Who would want to have to shave their forehead?
I’ve never played it on anything else so it’s hard to judge.
Only got it a month ago, and have only beaten the basic game once so far, though I’ve made what feel to me giant bases.
Haven’t noticed any slow down aside from when autosave is happening. Haven’t made the kind of monstrosities I’ve seen on youtube so I don’t know where the limits are.
As someone who has wanted to play it for ages I’m having a great time with it.
Reminds me of Kerbal Space Program on PS4, the controls are very complex for a controller, but they did a great job using multiple button shift functions to map a hell of a lot to the inputs available.
I did not know you could remap switch, may have to try that
I used to call it the Zelda machine, but now that factorio is on Switch, I guess that isnt quite true any more.
I go between PS4 and a switch pro control often, and it’s not that they all use the letters / symbols for different buttons, it’s that Xbox and Sony agree what button position is used for what as default, enter, back, etc.
Nintendo breaks that symmetry, and put the enter button on A, so when I go to watch a movie on playstation I’m constantly exiting the menu because that position is O, the back button for Playstation.
Just found out Factorio is out on console, so I’ll be addicted to that for the foreseeable future.
TIL that both Voyager craft are still operating, simply amazing.
First time I ever used one was 2004 following the grateful dead on an east coast tour.
One nice benifit was we’d come into town from the opposite direction of the caravan, avoiding a ton of traffic and finding the back route to the venue. Almost always got us better parking and way shorter lines into the lot.
