Priest (2011) - 8/10

Xenoblade Chronicles for the Switch

I'm curious how everyone spends their weekends. Do you have any fun hobbies, relaxing routines, or unique activities you look forward to? Whether it's outdoor adventures, gaming marathons, catching up on reading, or just doing nothing at all - I'd love to hear how you unwind and enjoy your time off.

Have you ever splurged on an expensive item, like a piece of clothing, shoes, or an accessory, only to wear it once or twice? What was it, and why did it end up being barely used?

I'm curious, what are your go-to strategies when you find yourself tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep? Do you have any specific routines, apps, or techniques that help you relax and drift off? Looking for some new ideas to try out.

When you travel, do you prefer to pack light with just the essentials, or do you bring along a lot of luggage? Some people like to be prepared for every situation, while others like the simplicity of traveling with less. What’s your style and why?

My brother loves that song as well. Another one I like is Cover Girl.

Bananas are fantastic. I do check for sugars as well as what other ingredients they put into the food.

I know but some people don't like their own cooking for whatever reason. The only thing I don't like about cooking for myself is that I can't blame someone for taking too long to prepare the food.

For me it's broccoli. Growing up, I'd eat most other vegetables but I really despised Broccoli but once I became an adult, I just decided to buy, prepare and eat it one day and I've loved it ever since.

I've ridden a few horses and a couple of elephants. I also rode on the back of a dolphin once after one just came up underneath me while I was swimming and carried me around for a bit.

That’s rough for Firewalk, especially since it’s their first big project under Sony. Concord would have fared better with a different launch approach or more development time. Maybe the studio's expertise would be better used co-developing a title like a new Destiny spinoff. Overall though, Concord was a massive flop and I bet Sony hasn't learned anything from this and will push for another generic live-service looter shooter.

It would be awesome if Rockstar did episodic content like they did with 'The Ballad of Gay Tony'. I think focusing on past characters would really enrich the GTA universe. However, I agree with you that Rockstar seems more invested in the online content now. It’s hard to imagine them splitting their attention, but I’d love to be proven wrong.

$700 and it doesn't have a disc drive? I'll definitely pass - this isn't an upgrade. How can Sony mess up this badly?

Just to add, Nintendo's actually suing them regarding patents which is interesting.

I'd recommend Alto's Odyssey for a relaxing yet visually stunning adventure, Hades for action-packed rogue-like gameplay, and Polytopia for a simple but highly addictive strategy game. For puzzles, you can't go wrong with Mini Metro or Threes!. These games are easy to pick up and play for hours.

I'd say Steam is the biggest and best because they have an extremely large catalogue of games, active community which is helpful for the most part and most people use it anyways.

PC gaming definitely shines in customization and upgradeability. You can build a rig that suits your exact preferences and upgrade it over time to stay current with new tech. This can lead to better graphics, faster performance, and overall more control over your gaming experience. On the other hand, consoles offer simplicity. You buy the system, and you're set for the generation. No need to worry about upgrades or compatibility issues. Plus, consoles often have exclusive games that don’t make it to PC, which could be a deciding factor if you're into those titles. It really comes down to whether you value flexibility or ease of use more.

For me, it's Metal Gear Solid for the original PlayStation. From the amazing storytelling to the unique characters and great gameplay, it's probably the one I'd choose. There were others that run it pretty close like Castlevania SOTN, Zelda: Ocarina Of Time and Grand Theft Auto San Andreas along with others.

Personally, out of all the gaming laptops I've ever had, I'd say the Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop that comes in 15 and 17 inch sizes is right down your alley. It has decent specs for the price point, the battery life is great and for around $600 - $700, it's great value for money at that price point. They're extremely reliable - how do I know you ask? I still have one from 2016 that functions well and isn't giving me any issues. My primary one is an MSI but I think I'm going back to an Acer gaming laptop once I upgrade. Either that or a Framework laptop.

Video games have taught me patience and the importance of trial and error. Some of the hardest games, like 'Dark Souls,' made me realize that failure isn't the end. It's a stepping stone toward progress. That mindset has shifted how I approach difficult situations in life. Instead of getting frustrated, I try to learn from each mistake and keep pushing forward.

If you're into games like Portal 2 that blend gameplay, storytelling, and atmosphere, you should definitely try 'The Talos Principle.' It’s a deeply philosophical puzzle game that combines challenging mechanics with an engaging narrative about consciousness and existence. The world is beautifully crafted, and it has some brain-bending puzzles that will keep you hooked.

Here are some I'd recommend: Skyrim God Of War (2018) Devil May Cry 5 Monster Hunter World Baldur's Gate 3 Horizon Forbidden West
