  • I’m older than you my friend, and it’s acurallt only something that I came to terms with in my 40s. When I was younger I did feel that pressure and expectation to complete stuff. Now I have no issue switching a movie off after an hour or stopping a book before the end. Life’s too short! And sure a story game I’m really enjoying, why wouldn’t i finish it? And play the sequel! But if I’ve played 100+ hours of skyrim without geting close to the end, and I don’t think it reduced my enjoyment. And if I’m getting bored of a metrovania I don’t see the point in grinding til it’s done.


  • Nah, finishing games is overrated. By the time you’re halfway through a game, you’ve seen a lot of what it’s going to offer in terms of style and gameplay. For sure, you’ll miss some amazing stuff if you don’t get to the end, but it’s hard to believe you miss as much as the new other game you could have half-completed in the same time.

    There are exceptions, and I defintely think completing at least a few games is important. But if I had the choice of only having fully played 20 games in my entire life, or 40 halfway, I’d defintely have learned more, experienced more and enjoyed myself more with the half-assed approach.

    Sheep are really friendly. I guess as herd animals they are very affectionate if they trust you, and very wary if they don’t know you. Try throwing them some dried corn a few times, they’ll fall in love with you and be eating out your hand and wanting cuddles in no time.













  • Migration isn’t as smooth as it should be. Generally it’s good at transferring Google accounts, messages and phone logs, reinstalling apps, etc. But it doesn’t automatically log you back in to everything, so there’s usually a period where you keep opening an app for the first time since the move and have to set some things up (although I heard that was changing?). No idea about the home screen layout, as I use Lawnchair, and most custom launchers have options to save and back up layouts. But it wouldn’t surprise me if it didn’t…
