    I literally just moved to Brooklyn and I'm lucky enough to have a pretty well stocked grocery store within walking distance and I still go to the Bodega pretty much every other day (which is... Definitely not healthy for me) but sometimes I just wanna get really high and get a chopped cheese ya know?

    I just got back from a concert, and it was probably one of the best concerts I've been to in a while.

    One of my credit cards gives me a bunch of money back if I use Stubhub, and since I just moved to Brooklyn, I've been having a great time at medium sized concerts that are a bit cheaper. So far this month I've seen King Princess, Of Monsters and Men, and I just got back from grandson. I get to watch Joey Bada$$ perform in two weeks too.

    grandson is incredible! Would recommend taking a look at a show if you can, high energy and he plays the crowd super well.

    yes! worst case he hates it and never wants to do it but the best case is he gets excited about actually doing it. I do think that @Aerrol 's text to speech idea is actually pretty interesting too.

    If he really wants to do it, why not try a one shot and see how it goes? Way less commitment if something goes wrong, and actually playing the game could help highlight areas that he might need...

    I mean, if Eddy Burback was privy to some kind of paranoia or psychosis, playing along with your prompts is what feeds into the delusion isn't it?

    I've heard excellent things about it, but I also haven't played it personally. I think it's on gamepass if you still have it!

    Humble Bundle has a great Indie Horror bundle (imo):
    https://www.humblebundle.com/games/indie-fears-bundle

    Be sure to adjust your sliders as you should, $13 for the entire bundle.
    Highly suggest Mouthwashing, it's definitely a horror game in more ways than one.
    Buckshot Roulette (imo isn't really a horror game, just has some scary elements) is excellent too and fun with friends.
    Who's Lila is a pretty innovative game where you change your face to interact with the story/world (the fact that it's in this bundle is a bit of a spoiler imo)

    I really wanna try The Boba Teashop and Kiosk, but I don't know if I'm gonna be paying $13 for the whole bundle just for those two games, but I think the 3 games I mentioned already make the bundle worth it.

    No idea what this site is, but usually if you run into issues, I generally check the PC Gaming Wiki: https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Home Definitely helpful for fixes in specific games

    I have a feeling that because Minecraft makes so much money Microsoft is really hands off with them.
