This is how I feel too. I keep bouncing off of them, but I really want to like them.

I’m guessing it’s the top down camera that’s the issue with lack of immersion.

The only CRPG I didn’t bounce off of was Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. Not 100% sure why that one clicked, but it might be the writing.

I sometimes finish the sentence for them to speed things along. It’s a bad habit of mine and I try not to be rude about it. Hopefully it just comes across as understanding and supportive rather than usurping the conversation.

Ghost of Tsushima is one of my comfort games, but I hate replaying the end of act 2 because of the emotional toll.

In Devil May Cry 3, the Nevan boss fight and backtracking through the rearranged tower after it’s activated are just tedious.

Another user said the Fade section of Dragon Age: Origins, but I’ll go with the Deep Roads. Everything you learn in that section is fascinating, but man, I just want to see the sky again and you’re down there for a while.

No pressure (ha!) of course.

As someone who has one of the non electric bidets installed and was afraid of having a puckered asshole the first time I used it, it’s not that cold. And it’s so worth it. I can’t go back and will have a bidet everywhere I live in the future.

I think I got lucky and got one of the models with improved battery (Onyx Boox Page). I’ve been reading the Trigun manga on it for over a week now and it’s only just getting to the point where I need to charge it finally.

But good point. Some of the older models might have worse battery life to consider. I only have a black and white model too. Color might use more battery.

Maybe look into an Onyx Boox instead of a Kindle. It will let you download books straight from the web (like standardebooks.org and Project Gutenberg) without having to side load. Also, you can add the Libby and Overdrive apps to it since it accesses the Google Play store. Also, it accepts all files formats so you don’t have to convert anything.

Dragon Age: Origins. Not sure why. I was a big fan of Mass Effect already, and of story heavy RPGs in general, but I stopped this one pretty early on and sat on it for several years. Needless to say, it stuck the second time and now I’ve played it and the other Dragon Age games multiple times.

Yeah, it’s the price that bothers me the most about this. For the same amount, you can get a whole Switch Lite.

And I’m still salty about how they treated the Vita. This is what we get as the first handheld successor to the Vita? And the Vita didn’t cost much more.

Yep, my parents are also sadly in the school of “just take a pill for it,” which then turns into taking more pills for the side effects of the pills they’re taking, and on and on.

While I’m in the “make healthy lifestyle changes” camp and have, so far in my early 40s, never been on long term medication and hopefully never will. It’s so frustrating watching my parents deteriorate while still paying for so many meds.

The little fuckers have given me PTSD. The toll they take on your mental health is real.

It’s our first (that I’m aware of) fediverse meta! Awww, look at how we’ve grown.
