I can get a solid 2-3 hours on Baldur’s Gate 3 (with a bunch of mods) before I have to worry about plugging it back in. All the other games I play right now are the other ones that you’ve mentioned are older games that really don’t drain the battery at all. I’ve used mine pretty consistently since November December of last year, and I haven’t really noticed a drop in performance of battery life.

I really wanna try some of the newer games that look great like that Clair Obscur 33 game to see how it compares.

It’s been said before, and I’ll say it again: these posts are awesome, I love the thought and effort put into it. Even if nothing within the article sparks my particular interest, the format is so fun and well-made that I happily read it, like some sort of article reading enjoyer of enjoyable articles of sorts

I’ve been pronouncing it all-e-glucky

Manipulativeness

“Hey, I was wondering if you could help me figure something out. I was really flattered by your invite the other day, but I’m not interested in dating right now. I enjoy your friendship and I don’t want to jeopardize it. Is there a way we can comfortably set boundaries without ruining that?”

IMO this way you let them know you’re interested in maintaining a relationship but at a friendship level. You demonstrate that you care about their feelings while clearly establishing the need for specific boundaries.

Also, “Pierre” also means “rock” in french, so his name could be translated to “Stone Wolf Clawed”

When I challenge my established concepts with new ideas or angles, and realize my previously held truth doesn’t hold up to scrutiny, or is reinforced or expanded upon. For example, “is a hot dog a sandwich?” makes me reconsider how so much depends on context, and how we as humans crave labelling and categorizing to the point of it being detrimental (see biological sex vs gender, Star Trek edit wars, classical music and pornography cataloguing, etc)

SR1 was nowhere near as bad as Tomb Raider. The combat was a bit boring and the puzzles were repetitive, but the platforming was significantly more viable than Tomb Raider.

I mean, I haven’t touched either game in over two decades, and I only briefly played Tomb Raider versus the hundreds of hours I spent in all the Legacy of Kain games, and I frequently watch cutscene “movies” of the LoK titles, but I’m sure that hasn’t created a bias in me whatsoever.

Bowser for Kart and Kirby for smash… makes sense

I can’t wait to find out that Marika learned the ability to transform gender from Cap’n Crunch in the FromSoft x Quaker collab

I need it so I can player the newer games betterer

“Alright, we have at least 6 witnesses willing to testify that they think I’m pretty. If you confess and say that at least I’m cute, we’ll let you get off easy.”

“I wanna talk to my lawyer.”

bad cop begins routine

“HOW DARE YOU, THEIR OUTFIT ALONE IS FIRE!”

”good” cop pulls the bad cop off you

“Sorry, my partner is a loose cannon. Look, we just want to make sure you’ve got good taste.”

So you’re saying if I fuck the same way Fremen walk the desert, they can’t track my car sex…

Woah, slow down there professor calculus, not all of us have 10 fingers to count on

Also, for anyone over 35, our ability to understand “last decade” means the last 10 years, decreases over time. I read this question and still thought about songs that came out 2009.
