On one hand things suck and we are getting priced out of our hobby, but on the other side, pc gaming was going through a consumerism/fomo era so I’m glad that has ended.

HIP: High Intellectual Potential

Not a movie but I started watching High Potential last year but even though it was fun at first I’ve gone off a lot of American TV so switched to the original French version.

In this case you’d be better off on Facebook and Reddit looking for local services that can help you.

The Little Ones dlc is also devistating great.

Consoles need to innovate more but instead all we get now is a “pro” model :(

Release controller -> people buy controller = news

The Truman Show

DoD Source and TF2 with a good community server was the best of times :(

Squad is by far the most with about 3.5k hours. I dont really like playing other games online nowadays but Squad really hits the sweet spot of 80% social 20% gameplay.

The rest of the list is probably Megadrive, N64 and Dreamcast stuff :D

Even with a “pc first” controller there will still be a significant amount of pc users who just flat out refuse. Their loss though because this looks interesting.

Good Luck Have Fun Don’t Die

Its a bit of a trip and kind of a strange parody on current society. It holds up well the entire way through even with some of the wild shit going on. Overall it was great fun.

Lethal Weapon

Also one of my wife’s favourites so guaranted to have company :)

Do you mean meltdown as in agressive or it makes you uncomfortable when asked?

Its not really a factor for me, at the moment anyway. I never get asked for ID when buying a bottle of whatever and I haven’t bothered to give ID for “verification” to anything yet and nothing has changed.

Porco Rosso is my favourite so I recommend that next if you havent seen it :)

Heat (1995)

It was just one of those movies that for some reason I’d never watched until about 6 months ago. I heard it was great and ,as it turns out, it certainly is.

The alternative frontends need to be added to a Lemmy server by the admins so not everywhere has them. Lemmy.world has quite a few though which are listed in the sidebar.

I don’t even bother with most apps anymore unless I have to. I use the Photon UI, so https://p.lazysoci.al/ or https://photon.lemmy.world/

Final Fantasy VII

I was testing out something on my Miyo Flip handheld and started playing FFVII for the first time. Never played it before and so far there have been a few questionable moments but overall I’m enjoying it. Hardware wise it works great but I did have to ask my wife for some help with the story already and unsuprisingly she knew exactly what to do but wants me to play FFIX instead.

The Way Way Back

I saw it recommended last week and decided to watch based on Sam Rockwell and it didn’t disappoint. Also about half hour in I had my kids watching with me too which was nice.
