A good number of games on my PC.

Anywhere from 3-100 books of sheet music depending on the books.

A bunch of used blu-rays.

A ton of used records.

A new set of speakers for my record and/or home theatre setup(s).

A new amp for my record setup.

A new pre-amp for my record setup.

A little over half the parts for a new gaming PC.

Around 3-5 vintage watches for me to fix up.

Some new tools for fixing up vintage watches.

About 7-8 pocket knives.

A new kitchen knife set.

Some new pots and pans.

Does alcohol count as a hobby? If so then 5-10 bottles of scotch.

Shit, I have a lot of hobbies. No wonder I have no money. There’s probably stuff I’m forgetting too. Damn.

I have no issues with dying repeatedly to learn a game. The modern FromSoftware catalogue are my favourite games ever. Maybe it’ll go on sale during the steam summer sale in a few days and I can pick it up then.

That’s pretty cool! I never heard of it before but it’s on my Wishlist now. I’m definitely curious to check it out.

For me I’d probably say 1-3 were all really good. I’d probably agree that 3 was the best of those, but Ezio > Connor for sure. 4 was absolutely excellent, probably my favourite AC game. I enjoyed Unity, though I played it after the bugs got fixed and I never cared much about getting 100% so the micro transactions didn’t bother me too much. Same goes for Syndicate, I quite enjoyed that one too. I already mentioned my opinions on Origins and Odyssey, but yeah, both awesome games, just not great AC games. I wish it was a different franchise. Valhalla was way too bloated in my opinion, and was the first AC game I didn’t complete. I haven’t played anything after except for a couple minutes of Mirage, maybe at a friend’s house or a demo or something since I never bought it. I thought it was pretty fun, I might have to try it if I can find it for cheap sometime.

The only spinoff I’ve played is Chronicles: India I think, which I thought was pretty fun but I never finished it.

I haven’t tried any other AC games, so if I’m missing any it’s because I didn’t play it.

I really enjoyed Origins and Odyssey. Neither should’ve been called AC games though. I think if they rebranded them under a new series, and removed the micro transactions, they would be seen as really good modern lite-RPGs. Especially Odyssey. They weren’t bloated like Valhalla, and I think had some really interesting elements. I haven’t played them in a few years but have fond memories. Maybe I should replay them to see if they’re actually good or there’s just a bit of nostalgia or rose tinted glasses or whatever.

And still stop and go anywhere near rush hour

I used to love playing BBT on the 360 with a friend of mine. Enjoy, it’s a very entertaining game

I’m currently replaying the first Dishonored (switching beteeen Dishonored and Hitman at the moment), that’s gotta be one of my favourite games I’ve ever played. The whole series is great but that first one especially is truly special.

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 days ago

Funny, that’s one of my all time favourite games. Some of my favourite ever bosses are from that game, and the lows aren’t nearly as annoying (to me) as the lows of the original Dark Souls. I’d still say I prefer Elden Ring and Sekiro to any DS title, though.

I was thinking of jumping to that next, I’m currently replaying the Hitman reboot trilogy. I haven’t played Mass Effect in a while, and never tried the LE. What do you think of it? How are the graphics? Have you played the originals? If so, how does it compare?

[–] BurntWits@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

Funny, I’m currently going through the remake trilogy

I’m jealous! I loved that game. Enjoy the first time experience, it’s awesome.

 

My wife and I have started making this for late breakfast/brunch on shared days off (doesn’t happen often since we both work shifts). The white drizzle on top is a homemade lime crema I made specifically for these wraps.

Filling: eggs, onion, garlic, mushroom, peppers, feta, spinach, tomato, sun-dried tomato, parsley, basil, ham, spices (cracked black pepper and smoked paprika). I melted some havarti on the wraps too just before adding the filling.

This was more of a “oh shit we need to use up some of this fresh produce before it goes bad” kind of meal but it turned out great so we added it to the rotation. Some of the flavours definitely do blend together so you could absolutely remove some ingredients and it would still work well, possibly better, but I think it’s still very good. I think next time I’ll cook some bacon, fry everything in the bacon fat, and omit the ham.
