That number is way too low, we ought to be at more than that right now.

Yes, myself included.

Trials and Children of Mana makes me dubious that this is going to be any good.

Not that I have progressed enough financially yet to be in a position to buy a Tesla Model S, it's gone from a dream car to something I'd be ashamed to own because of being disillusioned by who Elon Musk is over the past few years.

Yeah beyond tower defence games I agree.

Play whatever you want, I doubt you're getting weird looks for playing anything in public.

I personally despise the mobile gaming industry as a whole for its propensity for going live service or shovelware in the vast majority of instances. Of course I can think of gems in the rough but in many cases it went for a business model I ended being disappointed in.

At the end of the day, the switch and steam deck are far preferable on the go gaming platforms that suit me much better.

I hummed hawed on this over the past few years to finally end up in the pixel watch 2, being sold on getting workout, sleep and general heartrate metrics.

This is a daunting proposition, I'm admittedly massively invested in Google's ecosystem. Gmail and Google calendar, I have a pixel phone, watch and buds and have YouTube premium. I feel like the time I switch is when I have a homelab and am able to find open source alternatives to everything heavily use and be able to do so with all devices I use.

Hollow Knight for me fits this scenario to a t. I got it as part of a humble bundle, but couldn't get into it for at least a year as the initial part felt really depressing, and didn't at all grab me.

But once I managed to tough it through to greenpath, and started to get some power ups, it finally sunk it's claws into me. I proceeded to nearly 100% the game.

Super Mario Wonder. I got it at release as I came down with Covid and beat it 100% that weekend. Excellent experience, I just wish it was longer.

Agreed, Covid ties or is a close runner up for me as well in terms of people showing their true colors.
