Same here. I’ve had mine for a few weeks and I love it. The battery life is amazing too, I charge it once a week.

Which book? I’ve never heard of him before today but after reading a few articles I’d like to check out one of his books. Googling sends me quite a few results.
MLB The Show and Star Wars Battlefront 2 (2018, co-op with my friends). I play them both every Friday night and have hundreds of hours in each.
I decided to go with Plex because I can use it from my roku TVs and my game consoles. I let a few friends and family members log in as well to stream and they’re primarily doing it from game consoles. Most of those people don’t even have a desktop PC. Granted, I don’t know what features in that ballpark that Jellyfin may have now, I set this up a long time ago and just haven’t really given it much thought since then.
I’d look at Telltale-style games. They’re roughly 10 hours each ( five 2-hour ish episodes) and are almost entirely story driven. The gameplay is usually very simple. You choose dialogue choices to drive the story.
The best Telltale games are in my opinion: The Wolf Among Us, Tales from the Borderlands, The Walking Dead, Batman: The Telltale Series and its sequel, Batman: The Enemy Within. They’re also releasing the first episode of The Expanse (based on the TV show since the character Camina Drummer does not exist in the books) later this month.
Another series that is very much that same style but by different devs is the Life is Strange series. I’ve played the first one and the prequel called Before the Storm. They are very emotionally heavy stories so I’m taking some time before I can go into the sequels but I absolutely love that series and will preach it to anyone who will listen.
10 hours is definitely short but it also helps that they are all done in 2-hour episodes so you can easily take breaks.
Is there an article I can read? Besides hating video in general for getting information, also fuck TikTok.
The only reason I didn’t mention it is I haven’t played it. Not sure I’m ready for another round of emotional decimation just yet lol
Life is Strange and Life is Strange: Before the Storm are some of my favorites.
The older I get the more I prefer linear games. I’m playing FFXVI right now and I’m actually quite happy at how linear it is. Couldn’t finish XV because the map was too damn big.
I also use Podcast Addict, I recommend it.
LevelCap has a great video about how 3 guys made a better battlefield game then EA/DICE. I had fun the one night I’ve gotten to play so far but I was kind of drunk so I didn’t do very well. I’m a Battlefield player of many years and it’s the most fun I’ve had playing since 4.
My wife went out of town for a weekend so I decided to re-up Gamepass and download a bunch of stuff, mostly older games. What ultimately brought me back into actively wanting to play was Dragon Age Origins, a game I beat several times but a long time ago.
I was mildly excited for it until I played the demo. Now I’ve got Friday night set aside to play it.
However many it takes to beat them. I typically don’t replay games, and I don’t play into those insane multiplayer games that require hundreds if not thousands of hours. I beat one, I move on. The only exceptions are NHL and MLB, I play those on Friday nights with some beers to decompress from the week so I have a disproportionate amount of hours in those, but I also don’t buy new ones every year; maybe every 4-5 years. I really bounce off of games that are too long or too big, though. No game needs to be 100 hours long. The last time I did one of those was Assassin’s Creed Odyssey and that’s the last time I’ll ever do that.
That is an absolute steal, these games are so good.
I’d go a step further and see if anyone here has recommendations for the best RSS readers. I’ve never used one, and I’m wary to take any of the ones offered in the Android play store that are going to shove ads in my face. I’d love a quick guide to set them up properly, too. I’m a luddite when it comes to this apparently because the last one I installed, I couldn’t get it to grab any of the links. EDIT: I installed Feedly and it was easy to set up. I don’t need it to do anything but grab articles I’m interested in and it seems to do that just fine. I’d just like to be able to unfollow all news/politics subs on the fediverse and stick to articles only. Thanks for the input to everyone who replied.
Arkham Asylum is my favorite. I prefer the smaller, more contained environment of the Asylum over the big open city.
Honestly I just miss being able to hang up calls by slamming the thing closed, that’s it. I won’t buy a modern one but that was always satisfying.
Insurgency Sandstorm is my go to. 8 player co-op vs ai bots, but with a degree of realism. A well placed headshot will drop an enemy instantly but the same can happen to you.
Bioware made the previous Baldur’s Gate games so that makes sense lol
