@Feeb - finished Ys 8 over the weekend. Have the post game stuff to do, but not sure If I'm gonna bother. I got like 80% of the trophies. I need the accessories one (just have to buy them) + the exploration per character. Didn't realize this was needed and it takes like ~5 hours playing per character, so yeah, that's not gonna happen now that I'm done.

Also, this showed up today, way smaller than expected, but quite awesome!

Thank you so much for introducing me to this, really enjoyed it, looking forward to IX.

Yep, just searched the beta and found the link directly off Nvidia's website.

I actually was on Discord with a buddy of mine, and I told him about it. We both enabled it and were trying to break it. It was a lot of fun. I managed to grab my eye with my hand, which made my friend cry in hysteria.

That said, we were trying to break it. If you use it as intended it works really well. Sometimes it will "disconnect" after a blink, which results in a very creepy eye-roll effect that I sorta wanna intentionally use.

haha, for sure! I actually got it here. I highly doubt I'll part ways with much of anything at this point. If I ever sell ... it'll be everything (which would be a nightmare!). Actually debated it recently as we look at new homes.

Love that the Grisleys are both in jail for tax evasion, but yet USA is still broadcasting new episodes of their terrible show...

Hmmm... This is where I have to decide if I should make this political at all by mentioning that almost half the country voted for a guy who knowingly pays almost no taxes... Lots of Americans love to hear about rich people who screw over everyone else. They all think they are "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" who would do the same if they had the chance.

No, I guess I won't mention it.

My wife watched this show a good number of years ago and I'd love a montage where he keeps telling his kids and the camera about how you need to learn the value of 'hard work' and all that crap. LOL!

Money is fantastic but the large majority of people who think they want it above all else can't afford the 'cost' to getting it and/or the 'cost' to keep it. I got a smaller glimmer of this when I was making really good money a number of years ago. I watched as my own personality started to change and I didn't like that person at all.

A brand new car and a long time owned but reliable car really feel the same after about a year.

When fine meals are the norm and not on special occasions: they become 'expected' and really lose their luster.

Ah, Mercari.

I wish I could sell stuff there, but at the same time, I am glad I can't buy anything there either. Some of the stuff I've seen there is extremely tempting...

Anyone know why Atomic Heart is $10 more than any other PS4/5 game?

$69.99 is unfortunately the new standard. There have already been quite a few $70 MSRP releases this generation. First-party Sony specifically**

So I'm playing the indie game Death's Door. I looked up a walkthrough to see where all those shards are I've been missing, and now Google apparently thinks I'm suicidal. (After searching for "Death's Door walkthough.") I see a message saying "You're not alone" and "If you're experiencing difficult thoughts call" followed by a couple of numbers. (911 being one of them.) I'm just looking for help with this game I'm playing! Lol

I've had similar in the past where I Google a question or whatever and next thing you know there are suicide prevention hotline numbers. A.I. doesn't pick up on certain things. It picks up on certain words or word combinations and narrows in on them.

Hahaha!

I got trained on bartending and started picking up some shifts for it last week and it's crazy how Ive been working my ass off in management and get paid more to stand around and bullcrap with people and leave at the scheduled time, if the kitchen is a crapshow and people called out it's not my problem. Doesn't seem like they'll actually schedule me for any bar shifts tho I'm too useful being the closing manager, everyone else who's willing to do it is getting promoted when they open a new store this year because they've been there longer than me

I bought some nice Canadian-made tuques online, but apparently my head is larger than average only one of the three styles fit properly. (Of the other two, one was a little tight and the other was fleece so it didn't stretch, and it didn't fit at all).

They fit my wife perfectly though so she is happy.

Now I learned i have to ask when they don't have specific head measurements.

At Badfish (Sublime cover band) and Quasi King's stole the show. Never knew of them prior to tonight and man, they're badass. White boy raggae!

The lady and I are seeing the touring version of Hamilton in Boston at the Opera House tonight. Heading up in about an hour. Oughta be neat!

It’s so good. We saw it in Austin. One of the best shows I’ve seen (and I’ve been to a bunch over the years). Enjoy!

Definitely lived up to the hype!

Damn, wish I had known it was gonna be in Boston. I never pay attention to anything in Boston lol

Yah you folks were right, it was a great show. Very cool to see the little changes the touring cast throw in after seeing the Disney+ version so many times. Real fun stuff.

@ChrisKW1 it’s at the Opera House through March I believe. Tickets are probably a bit expensive at this point (if there are any left) but couldn’t hurt to give it a look.
