    I recommend it, I’m not an avid reader but I finished it basically on one cross country plane ride. Very quick and easy read.

    My go-to for white noise is the Vornado Zippi desk fan. The fabric blades give it a lower pitched hum, and I like the option of being able to use it when it's warm for a little breeze. I find that...

    My go-to for white noise is the Vornado Zippi desk fan. The fabric blades give it a lower pitched hum, and I like the option of being able to use it when it's warm for a little breeze. I find that even though it's developed some rattles and off-sounds after a few years, they always go away after running it for maybe 20 minutes. I take it traveling too since it's (relatively) portable.

    My partner and I started watching this recently, after finishing the show "Somebody Somewhere" (which I also highly recommend, though it's pretty different to "Jury Duty"). We watched episode 3 last night, and so far it's an extremely well done reality-esque comedy and I really like the "Truman" character they cast (Ronald Gladden). Looking forward to finishing it and I recommend it to others for sure.

    Haha yeah, it's playable, I'd say. I'm playing on PC and I very rarely get crashes now. My friend plays on Series X and never really has issues. I'd say they've been trying to balance infantry,...

    Haha yeah, it's playable, I'd say. I'm playing on PC and I very rarely get crashes now. My friend plays on Series X and never really has issues.

    I'd say they've been trying to balance infantry, ground vehicles, and air vehicles (if that's what you mean by R-P-S) but it's not quite there yet. But, I'm rarely so annoyed by an immortal pilot or tank commander that I'd want to stop the round.

    As for the "heroes" they've made a change recently to better enforce the typical BF classes and I think it's a good change. But, something is still missing from the squad/team-play that we may remember from older games.

    My friend and I play a few times every week to complete the battlepass missions, but not much beyond that. Maybe 3-6 hours a week? To give you a sense of our investment. But, we've both played since 1942 and I would say that 2042 hasn't ruined anything, but definitely is not a favorite entry in the series nor a "great game". But definitely playable and fun if you go in with realistic expectations.

    PoE 2 looks really promising. The 2 trailers they released recently really hyped me up.

    Jedi Survivor: I just finished the game, and I was on my way to completing the Platinum trophy on PS5, but a bug is preventing me from doing it :( Just waiting (hoping) that the developer fixes...

    Battlefield 2042: I've regularly played it since launch, and it's a pretty good game now. I keep playing out of habit mostly.

    Diablo IV: I wish it was better, but I'll keep playing it. I've played since Diablo I so it's again, kind of just nostalgia or habit keeping me going.

    I also premix the seasoning in a large batch, so cooking only involves chopping, mixing with oil and seasoning, and throwing in air fryer. Takes maybe 30 min total. Plus its easy to portion out for calorie control and has leftovers!
