"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

What video games are you guys playing these days?

"You Can't Argue a Woman Into Liking You"

You made your case like a lawyer. Stable job. Good guy. Ready for something real. All true. All irrelevant.

She weighed your points, nodded along, felt nothing — then fell hard for some tattooed bartender with a motorcycle and a gambling problem.

Logic is where attraction goes to die. The "22 Rules" work a level deeper, on the subconscious switches that decide within minutes whether you register as a MAN or as part of the furniture.

Stop presenting evidence. Start flipping switches.

I had originally decided that a Switch 2 wasn’t worth the asking price, but that Zelda remake is so close to changing my mind :rofl:
I think they have only increased the price once, like 50 dollars or something iirc. Compared to how many times (and how much) Ps5, Xbox Series, and Steam Deck have raised their prices; Nintendo is coming off as the budget option in my perception.


Nintendo Switch Successor
    • Price: $499.99 USD (increased from its initial $449.99 launch price on September 1, 2026). [1]
    • Details: Features a hybrid design with a 7.9-inch LCD 1080p screen and DLSS upscaling. [1]

PlayStation 5 (Sony)

  • PS5 Standard (with Disc Drive): $649.99 USD (following a $100 price increase effective April 2, 2026). [1, 2]
  • PS5 Pro: $899.99 USD. [1, 2]

Xbox Series S (Microsoft)
    • Xbox Series S (512GB): $499.99 USD (following a $100 price hike effective August 1, 2026). [1, 2]
    • Xbox Series S (1TB): $599.99 USD (following an August 1, 2026 price update). [1, 2]

Steam Deck (Valve)
    • Steam Deck OLED (512GB): $789.00 USD (increased by Valve on May 27, 2026, due to memory component costs).

Wow. I had no clue video games were this expensive nowadays. I thought it was Nintendo being unreasonable. I guess it’s just inflation.

Its not inflation as far as I can tell. Back in the good ol days it used to be that consoles would become cheaper as time went on; Now its the other way around, supposedly because of RAM and components shortages due to AI growing so fast.

Anyone playing through any horror games for the halloween season? I usually play Witch Hunt and Darkwood (among others), they are absolutely goated indie horror games.

Little nightmares 3 The Backstage Dlc. New mechanics. Less than an hour. We liked it.

Not really horror but I have been playing Fortnitemares and Little Nightmares 3 with my woman. I might try some The Backrooms games by myself.

Sounds good. I might check them out eventually.

I still haven't even gotten around to playing Little Nightmares 2. But I really liked the first.

Just fyi Witch Hunt can be beaten in like 4-6 hours, whereas Darkwood takes like 25+ hrs, so might recommend the former if you don't have time. It could be a fun game to play with your girl too, as it's super atmospheric and tense and has a simple but interesting story. It has a Sleepy Hollow sort of vibe, except its actually scary.

Pragmata

Got this Sci Fi Third Person Shooter as a gift from my woman for Ps5 but this game is available pretty much everywhere and it is Steam Deck Verified. Great gamepley, characters, story, etc. I would highly recommend (especially if you have sequel fatigue or franchise fatigue as its an all new IP)
