It's a very good game! I loved Subnautica too :)

Balatro!

Edit: inscryption is WASD +spacebar only, if you can do that with a slight seating adjustment. It's great for planes. The post game content might be even better than the game content, haha.

Up there among the greats with Pokemon: The first movie and the classic Disney movies ;)

Play them back to back! It offers a really nice juxtaposition. I did a whole half life playthrough with all the mainline games + VR and HL + BM :)

Black mesa is so insanely good.

Judging by all the shark card crap they jammed into the last GTA, I fully expect them to shovel a bunch of crap in to make more money: $70 base games, deluxe editions, DLC, micro transactions, social club integration, required internet connections, all of it.

I miss the old GTAs before they got greedy.

A lot of the top movies got mixed reviews from friends and family. I saw some that were meh. Hope next year has some better ones.

The nappies, lmao. They're really throwing everything in there. Still not sure why it's so expensive, though. They could have done the whole thing for $80k and still had a fat cut.

I completely missed this since it apparently came out on Epic.

I should set one up. Is it a huge pain in the ass?

I like the one that sells your data about your sexual orientation, lol. It's just so beyond the pale these days.

Bumble used to be different back in the day. I tried it when it was going down the tubes.

I think part of the problem is that the matching is fairly superficial, so while you know a little about the person, most of the details amount to their face, 1-3 hobbies, and their ass.

The women I matched with that I went out with were awkward and felt forced. In the end, I ended up falling in love with a close guy friend that I had known for years.

If bumble wants success, they should allow for much deeper Q&A, longer response times, a tweaked algorithm that matches people based off hobbies and passions, and an AD section that allows people to privately put in stuff that they like after dark. Info that isn't shared with their matches, but helps make people match better with people like them.

As for straight dating though, idk. I feel like people should probably be avoiding apps and meeting organically through stuff like biking groups, climbing groups, skiing events, big dance venues, etc. it fosters much more organic connections.

I don't participate in bar culture that much, but the difference between the gay bars I've gone to and the straighter college-y bars feels immense. The former is much more social with a pinch of kink, the latter is where people are getting absolutely blitzed without much dialogue over loud music. It's an extremely small sample size, but I can't help but wonder if it's part of a larger trend when it comes to meeting people and how portions of society meet and date. Perhaps there are bars where single straight men and women meet over 1-2 drinks and talk, but I haven't seen any so far.

Overall, I think the Internet and cars (decreasing population density and increasing the space between third places) has had a dramatically negative impact on love and friendships in places like the US.
