Don’t know how Americans do it honestly. At will states, no parental leave or even maternity leave(this is mind blowing plus add on the cost to birth a baby at a hospital like 🤯🤯), 2 weeks vacation, no sick time, poor insurance, etc. Read an article that says their minimum wage hasn’t increased in over a DECADE. So yeah, it seems like they have very little protection.

So odd and I find I work with a fair amount of people from NA who “humble brag” about working so much or it’s been years since I had a day off… just don’t get it. 🤷.

Got a replacement in mind yet?

A lot of companies are offering early access with digital pre-orders these days. Pretty sure Diablo had 3 days before release date and so does BG3.

I’ve been using Mullvad on PC/android for years… Even since the port forwarding has been removed I still use it. Been considering Proton though.

Anyone here use Proton(free or paid)? How is it?

Nope. Iceraven or Firefox forks or just Firefox in general are the ones I use. Don’t trust those guys either but at least it’s better than everything else out there.

Andrea Bocelli and Miley Cyrus.

I wish. Don’t think I can justify the price yet! Enjoy though. Getting amazing reviews.

Just started Elden Ring for the first time a few days back. First game I played where I was generally blown away how well it runs and looks for a handheld PC.

Been trying a few. Niagara on my phone and Microsoft Launcher for my tablet.

Don’t overly love Microsoft on my tablet honestly. Probably going to choose another listed in this thread to try.

Niagara has been great on my phone though. Just so minimal. Huge fan.

Dang that looks sick. Been trying a few since I gave up on Nova.

Yeah finished TotK. Well, finished as much as I’m willing to do anyway. Story, tears and all the shrines is enough for me.

Surprisingly, yes. First time for Arkham City. Played Asylum earlier in the year and picked it the bundle cheap on steam summer sale.

16 is incredible. Having an absolute blast. My GOTY so far.

Yeah I shelved TotK about 2 weeks ago I’d say. 90 hours as well.

Nothing on Switch at the moment. Debating starting Pikmin as I’ve never played.

Working my way through FF16 and Batman Arkham City outside of Nintendo consoles.

The Binding of Isaac. One of the GOATs for me.
