I agree with you here. While turning up the difficulty means it takes me quite a bit longer to finish as I have limited time to play these days, I tend to enjoy the time more as I learn the mechanics.

Elden Ring and the other Souls games are just different in that there isn’t a difficulty setting so you have to do this from the get go. I prefer this style, but it’s possible to get a more enjoyable experience in other games.

In my opinion, easy games aren’t as fun and I lose interest much more quickly.

I lived in DC for seven years. I didn’t work on the hill, but several of my friends and roommates did. I remember one of them saying working in the government was much more like Veep than The West Wing.

Yeah, but it’s not like camera control is great with an N64 or any other controller either.

Pro tip: get audiobooks from your library…along with paper books, ebooks, games, movies, etc.

What model Toyota is that truck?

They never work…except for this time maybe!

Daycare provider. They're saints, and I doubt I could last a single day.

I mean...you can kill him once you take him out of the story.

I've been pretty happy with my Pixel Tablet running GrapheneOS. I don't know everything you're hoping to do, so maybe Android won't work for you. However, I've been using Plex, Newpipe, Termux, Roon, and other apps, and it's working well for me.

The stand still works as a speaker when connected as well, which is nice.

Yeah, agreed. They play retro games for the same reason people watch classic movies, read literature, or listen to older music: because it's enjoyable regardless of how old it is.

They're both saying, "I love you".

You can turn off the swiping gesture. I've done it on my AppleTV, and it is WAY better.

Yes, swiping works well on a phone...because there are no buttons. I don't want to swipe on my TV remote, my car radio, my laptop screen, and fridge, my door handle...
