    Oh interesting. Had no idea about either of those. I’ll have to check out the prequel as well!

    Recently got the courage to pull back out my Ooni oven. This time I attempted to do some calzones to actual great success!

    I had struggled with pizzas on and off (mostly on launch and trying to turn/adjust the pizza). Decided to fold over some dough and was pleasantly surprised! Did a pepperoni and veggie one. Very simple to do and highly recommend.

    Been really into the game tails noir. It’s a detective dialogue heavy game in a sort of zootopia like world, with distinct acts. It’s been a lot of fun with the choices and the visuals are gorgeous.

    Unfortunately just read this morning that the studio is shutting down due to their next game unable to secure funding. Def worth checking out tho if it sounds like your cup of tea.

    Oh yeah! We totally had strawberry king/Queen. Never me tho. Usually went to the daughters of the biggest plantation in the area, which everyone knew was rigged.

    Oh man, a small town where I grew up had the strawberry festival. It was a rural/agricultural based town but is one of the world leaders for strawberries in winter time.

    Everything there was strawberries. The rides, decorations, foods based on it. Wanted strawberry pizza? They got it. Strawberry sauce dipped sweets? Boom. The cattle live show? Strawberry costumes.

    We got school off for it and everything. Really fond memories to look back on.

    Ugh, as someone who recently entered the tech workforce out of school this is something I’m struggling with.

    A lot of my hobbies revolved around tech/games but now by the time I finish work I want nothing to do with it. I’m trying to find new hobbies and options to enjoy while “unplugged” but man it’s hard.

    I love any of the cutscenes from the RDR2 mission where you go drinking with Lenny. So many memorable moments from my first time and haven’t laughed that hard from a game in a long time.

    Man the end messes me up, but the part before is worse for me. When Arthur is in the bench with the nun and says “I’m afraid” it just breaks me. His face says so so many words

    Man, I have my big day coming up in a alittle over a year.

    All I feel is dread in planning this event and required monetary spend. I understand the value of it and my partner is excited for a wedding, but I just can’t see past the other issues.

    Sorry for being a little off topic, just wanted to add a perspective.

    SSD is def the stand out update for these consoles. Going back to old consoles it’s just near painful. Especially allowing us to finally easily upgrade

    Curious to hear what the people of tildes think.

    As we close in on 3 years of use with these newer consoles, what are every one’s thoughts? Has “next gen” been what you thought it’d really be or are you kinda just feeling whelmed?

    I have a PS5 and I use it every now and then for pretty much the first party games. PC is my main platform but as I think back, I’ve been pretty happy with my PS5 and the games to come so far. I also really enjoy the UI (although custom backgrounds would be great).

    I don’t know how the Xbox side is so I’d love to hear your thoughts to!

    Thanks for taking the time to read.

    This is correct. I work in the industry and closely with those services. Exciting that FedNow is finally out there and getting some visibility!

    I haven’t been that into a show in a long time. Especially the second season and the character developments that come out of it. They just really nailed it imo.
