I say regular, but it often gets pushed to the wayside for those things as well. Plus, not to mention our littlest often wakes up around 10 o’clock. Or 1. Or 4 if we’re lucky.

I also oftentimes stay up much later than I should to game or read 😅

Thanks! Sadly, I don’t think this works well, cause I usually sit up and am awake while I play.

Not really imo. I only do so because my wife likes to watch TV and we hang out together at night in bed. I would prefer to chill in the living room, but she’s a bedroom person. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The Wild Robot, Migration, and Wall•E have been some recent hits in my house.

Cheap solution. I will definitely try it!

This is kind of what prompted the post. I’ve been seeing ads for these things off and on for a while and always thought it was a bit pricey for what it was haha.

Many are just Game Key Cards.

Which are like Carts, but they need to download digitally. The worst of both worlds :D

Do you not just grab the Libgen link from Anna’s in the [external downloads] section?

Ah, so more Hyper Light Drifter then.

Wow, Mark of the Deep looks really good.

The combat seems similar to Hades, which I was a fan of. But I’m not a super huge fan of the random upgrades and things in a run, and this looks really nice.

That’s okay. I’ve been an unintentional member of the patient gamers club for years now.

They’re all digital gift cards from what I’ve seen. I do appreciate the warning though!

I don’t have any solid gaming console or PC at the moment.

I have an Xbox Series S, a Nintendo Switch, and a Steam Deck.

I have been wanting to build or buy a decent PC for years, but money has always been tight.

All this to say… maybe? It seems to be on par with the prices of prebuilts. My job uses a third party system to give us bonuses and we can use them to get digital giftcards.

I am trying to convince them to add Steam giftcards to it. If I can get that it means I’ll definitely eventually be able to get a Steam Machine. But also I’m hoping that the price decreases over time, as unlikely as that may be.

This is an “eventual” purchase and not an immediate one, in my eyes at least.

For now, I have plenty of games I can run well on my Steam Deck, since I hardly played my Xbox. 8 basically skipped out on gaming from 2016-2025 really.

The Steam Machine would really just be something I’d remote play from the Deck from to either conserve battery life or run more demanding games, like BG3 or E33. Basically anything with unreal haha.

Basically a serial shitposter for a few years. Came over during/before the whole Reddit API migration.

I also remember a lot of left leaning (duh) political memes and a fair amount of posts about how doctors couldn’t figure out his ability to swallow food or some such.

Because of that, FlyingSquid was unemployed and posted in a lot of communities daily and would comment frequently as well.

You are 100% correct.

Crispy like NYC’s. Satisfying like Chicago’s, without being more sauce than toppings.

My favorite kind for sure.

Apparently this has been an ongoing pattern with him from what the video alleges.

He fakes a respectable record for clout in the community and if he gets discovered as a cheater he just leaves that community.

Here’s the link for the morbidly curious.

I recently watched a 1 hour YouTube video about how some streamer (Werster? )has been cheating at Pokemon Emerald Battle Factory.

The fact that this community still exists in 2026 is surprising but not too shocking.

Seconding reading.

When Reddit went through the API changes I successfully replaced Reddit doomscrolling with reading.

I have started to backslide on my Reddit addiction in 2025. Maybe I just need to read more.

If I understand the question, you need to just stop using AI.

Got it, I’ll check out bad locks. Thanks!
