Oh you played one of my favourite games of all time?
That's cool, I might be slightly obsessed with it, but I can't be sure

Jump Space is fantastic so far, really enjoying this co-op PvE experience in space.
It strikes a pretty perfect balance for me; not too complex but not too straightforward either. Just right. Really looking forward to seeing where this game goes.
Big recommend.

My recent fascination with Casio could easily become an obsession, as I had to import it from the US and didn't hesitate.
I couldn't resist that funky digital display — but I'm glad these watches are cheap!

I don't want to hear any disrespect towards British cuisine, at least not while these are around 😤
Don't talk to me until I've had my beanz and cheese, guys

"Made from the original game models from Max Payne 1."
It just isn't, though, and that's a real shame because I would have bought it otherwise!
Totally different pattern, and I know it's not THAT serious, but come on.. just say "inspired by" instead 😅

Conflicted because I LOVE Remedy and I was so ready to buy the shirt but.. this isn't Max's shirt
"We took actual models from the original game and faithfully recreated Max’s stylish Hawaiian shirt in all its blocky glory!"
Reading this when it's such a different pattern is disappointing 😔

Not sure what your go-to snacks are, but this duo was an incredible option in the boiling temperatures of Taiwan
Pocari Sweat will hydrate you right up, and it tastes WAY better than the name suggests

I was somewhat obsessed with Rockstar Games' plastic bag-em-up stealth game "Manhunt" in 2007 — a video I uploaded to YouTube garnered 5.4 million views.
It used to notify me daily with swaths of angry comments from outraged people who somehow had it recommended to them. Weird.

This is with minimal attention paid to graphics settings but seems to hover around 60 FPS just fine
I bet you could tweak the visuals some more to really lock in that frame rate — anti aliasing is maxed out by default, for example
Lots of settings to play with, but looks good!

It's good.. if you're comfortable with Windows 11's quirks 😋
Microsoft still has a ways to go regarding UI on a touchscreen this small, but if you keep Windows Update current and just play games, it's great!
That slight performance bump over the Steam Deck is nice for some games, for sure

It was the only time I played Fortnite, just to get that skin
Haven't played it since, but the mode without building was decent

Peach zero is my go-to if I'm recovering from a migraine, but I still have a lot of love for the zero sugar ultra fiesta mango
Not sure where you're based, but if you can get it, try it 🤠👍

So, did anyone in my mutuals buy a Switch 2?
We love playing Super Mario Party Jamboree and Mario Kart 8, and I still enjoy a bit of Switch Sports, so it's exciting to imagine what comes next.
Looking for some early insights (very early, I know) 🤔

The Oblivion gates really do look incredible in TES4's remaster. I never get tired of seeing them, particularly at night
It isn't AS fun to actually go inside and repeatedly run the same sigil stone gauntlet, but Virtuos did fantastic work with the visuals nonetheless

Yes, I also listen to lo-fi beats while I'm studying.
Well, kind of.. sometimes I just need a full day of the same Metal Gear Solid ambience to help me work 🤔
