This is a great coincidence for me as I have been getting into retro gaming and emulation so I have been enjoying going back and playing games I loved as a kid on the GBA, Gamecube, and PS2. Tops right now are Simpsons Hit and Run, Pokemon Emerald, and Super Mario Strikers. It’s amazing how well older games can be emulated to the best versions you have ever played of them today.

I am in the last semester of my studies which I resumed again because my current job had no room for growth.

Will probably take 6-12 months to find a better role I am anticipating

Can I ask what your parts you used for your build? I’ve been enticed by the PC route as well because of the same bs from PlayStation you have outlined here. Everytime I look at building a PC I get overwhelmed by all the options though

I like the idea of this. A open and non competitive atmosphere where you can play with your friends and family. I think the organized league style is killing my love of playing sports.

Definitely Netflix with the password sharing lockdown garbage. Then I looked closely at my Spotify. I realized my yearly rewind was almost always the same artists at the top, so I pay over $100 a year to listen to the same music every year. I bought the album’s I like and I feel so at peace now that Spotify can no longer tnrow shitty podcast recommendations in my face.
