    Ghost of Tsushima

    This was an amazing game that I would never have considered playing if I hadn’t read this thread. Thanks, forum bros. That ending… I haven’t been hit that hard since RDR1. I enjoyed the DLC. Seemed like a solid backstory and they took some of the main island mechanics to a higher level.

    Barbie (2023)

    That guy sounds like he knows exactly what gay terminology he should use.

    Lol wow! That escalated quickly.

    A Christmas Story Christmas (2022)

    Watched this with the family, and we also liked it. Same vein of humor as the original and zero modern wokeness.

    Best phone games?

    Thanks for this recommendation. I have been playing this quite a bit. Very easy to pick up and put down after just a few rounds as you progress through a random "roguelike" board or through the somewhat tedious stories.

    This game should have been called Ni No Queue-ni! Please clap.

    Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds - summer 22, preregistration open - iOS & android

    That reviewer has some odd aversion to the AI, which I actually enjoy. My toon farms things while I go through the 100 menu options and upgrade stuff. When I am done, I can kick in 4 hours of “AI mode” offline farming each day, which I use to grind collectibles or gold. I have never manually...

    Ni no Kuni: Cross Worlds - summer 22, preregistration open - iOS & android

    I like it so far. Day 6 and Level 40 is when it started getting a little grindy. The main quest mobs are 47 and the game warns me I need 20% more CP (rating) to advance. I am fine running repeatable side quests and collections for stat increases though. They do a good job of notifying you when...

    Project Hail Mary - Andy Weir

    Goodreads I listened to the audiobook. The story and narrator were both fantastic. I highly recommend this to anyone who enjoys science (real science, not the Following kind). I went in expecting a variation of The Martian, but there are large twists early on that make this story unique.

    Foundation

    Isn’t the chick on Terminus Salvor Hardin? I get confused by all the male characters they recast as females. I swear I thought I heard them mention that name at the very end of the opening scene in episode 1.

    Weather

    By the numbers, they had 105 hours of scarcity pricing near the $9,000/MWh offer cap and roughly 50 GW of load. That equates to $50 billion being paid for power over 5 days. You are right that some, likely more than half, was hedged with power swaps and heat rate call options (HRCOs). This...

    The Outer Worlds

    I was disappointed with this game and glad to finally be done with it. The companion storylines were shallow. Their perks were carbon copies of mundane improvements, and the main character's were not much better. The loot and mod systems were equally uninspired. I give it a generous 6/10 -...

    E-Sim: World Sim Browser MMOG - Always Looking For New Players

    What a shame. This game was good times back when South Korea was in its prime.
