As far as I know it should be the first game wrapped in sort of 3d enviroment where you can interact with others not only writing mails.
And Beholder 3 (played the other 2 and i found them... quite intriguing). This new iteration seems cool enough to keep the tradition.

Can i ask Aragami2 and Strange Brigade :) ?
I played the first Aragami, i'm a sucker for stealth games and I really like it so i'm curious about the sequel.Strange Brigade... it's because It really seems super intriguing... the '30, the mummies... and should it support the local co-op i am sure i'll have a lot of fun when playing with my son.
What can i say if not.... thank soooooooooooo much :D

And it was more of less the same on the surface but after a while you hit a wall and you must pay to do the fun stuff. Unless you are into frigate p2p. Everything else is blocked.
The fact that more of less the graphic is the same if 10 years ago, the walking in station promise was broken, the new ships look cool but they are nothing more than esthetic toys... made me lost interest in no time.You do not lose skill point when u die now though. That is cool...

It works flawlessly, it's fast and easy to use.
I used Debian for an year before fedora and I kind of liked it but while I understood it was super stable (and I was for real) I needed something slightly more up to date :) -

Usually when they need something they just say everything on the chat and wait for me to answer.
The big silence happens after, when i provide them the answer they are looking for. Because they are not watching the chat... they are in a meeting or - i dunno - maybe the are doing something that need them to focus.Anyway... sometimes i get a feedback that i was useful after days, something like a lonely "thx" written in the chat... and that is all.
The silence really strikes me sometimes. -

I can't say they have tried to inquire the AI and have found themselves in a dead end so i was the next in line. But that's a quite depressing thought so... if you don't mind i try to forget about what i just said :)

Could you please help?" Said in one single breath.
On one side I kind of appreciate being helpful but on the other I dread the moment they won't call me anymore considering I know the trigger to connect with me is the problem... And without that they won't even think of me :/

As far as i know Uniqlo and H&M are present in the main malls of Bangkok (and most likely outside too... i guess).
Anyway... talking about how to dress. Dress lightly because you will sweat a lot, expecially because we're going to the hottest period of the year.
A t-shirt and short pants are more than ok for everywhere you go. A pair of confortable sneakers because you will walk a lot and the state of the streets is ok but not everywhere...If you're planning to visit some temples remember to use a t-shirt and not a tank top because you should cover your shoulders inside. For your wife, that day, could be better to wear a skirt that arrives to her knees. Usually if you dress less than that you could be not allow to get inside the temple or they will provide you something to cover you up... but the problem is that most of those things (skirts, scarves, etc...) are made with synthetic materials and you'll sweat more than ever.
If you're in Bangkok there is a nice difference between the hot and humid air outside everything... and the inside of everything where the air is cold and dry.Take a light scarf with you, in particular if you're planning to use the BTS (a.k.a. skytrain). It's kind of useful if don't want to catch a cold... in thailand... during your honeymoon :)
Take a small backpack with you with some water.
...have fun :) !

They all know the ending, they already know every single word, every stroke of colour.
It looks like a very boring life, with no sadness but no excitement either.

It poses some interesting questions and I really enjoyed to make hypothesis here and there on how things were going behind the scenes. How are the other 11 guys doing? A part from the girl of the last season did they decide to join the Pluribus? Is Diabaté bored now or is he still enjoying the fake reality created by the Pluribus for him? At the end of the day is it really important that he doesn't want to join and how does this stance conflict with their biological imperative?What i found interesting is a scene in one of the last episodes where the Pluribus via Zosia seems really interested in the emotions and experience Carol had... that they did not know about. Like it's one of the few moments I think the Pluribus shows a real interest and not a fake one to lure Carol to believe something. I guess that's something i'd like to be addressed in season 2 because the virus has somehow crystalized humanity. It seems like the way the Pluribus "live" has left no space for new experiences or art or anything. What is and what has been, is what will always be.
And talking emotions they seem incapable to feel them anymore a part for a vague sense of contentment? But they seem to have an hunger for new stuff despite their inability to generate new things.
I am wondering if they are able to discover new things too, despite the fact they are working on the staminal cells I am thinking if they can have novel ideas...Said so.. 8,5 out of 10... expecially because every single human being is flawed in this show, the protagonist in particular :)

So it's a pasta pasticciata not the regular m&c. The rest of the recipe is the same anyway.
Sometimes she uses different kinds of pasta all at the same time... Usually when the packets have only a few pieces left and not enough for a regular portion she combines them all and turn on the oven :)

Maybe I am just spoiled because should I choose a recipe with pasta and cheese, it'd go with a pasta pasticciata with mozzarella and ragu... -

It's a bit rough around the edge, but it's a beautiful point and click... a cozy game for the period. I hope the second will keep the same soul.
Where did u get stuck in citizen sleeper 1? Maybe I can help. I remember it was hard for me too the first... uhm... 3 or 4 cycles because it seemed nothing really happens but then new paths opened and something inside me clicked.About the nerves... thanks so much! :) I hope to get well soon though I know it is matter of a couple of month at least... the silver lining is that now I can use my left hand a lot. I have become pretty good at shaving my beard with the left hand without dying of blood loss :D

To answer your question right now I'm playing Silksong but because of some health issues i find it really hard. If i play for more than 30 minutes the nerves on my right arms ignite and my shoulder explodes in a supernova of pure agony so... i am pretty slow as you may guess and i am thinking to move to stuff i can play with only my left hand until i'll get better: point and click adventures, visual novel, etc... in this case the game i will soon move to is Citizen Sleeper 2. Not that i'm really looking forward to playing with it but i have to if i want to preserve my sanity :D and I really liked the previous one (that i played last holiday). It is a very very VERY slow game where most of the atmosphere is delivered throughout long blocks of text... not differently than in Disco Elysium. It's like reading a book and decide here and there where to point the protagonist, you choose a path, you roll the dices. And i really like the vibes it gives me. it's a sort of chill cyberpunk. A lofi dystopia... a settings that i find intriguing because it's so well described within the game that i would like someone would pick it up and make an anime about it.
I am sure i will. I'm looking forward to try them as soon as i finish the current game i'm playing with.
Thanks sooooooooo much! :D
