"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

As a follow up, I just finished Tails of Iron, which I got on March 19. That should give you some idea on how I am with video games. I may only play once or twice a week, and might only put in 20 minutes. If I play over an hour, it's very unusual, I don't usually do those long gaming sessions you hear about. Anyway, I found the game difficult, but I liked it (or I wouldn't have stuck with it), I wasn't used to the combat system so it took me awhile. By the last boss, you really need fast reflexes. I guess I'll tackle Cuphead next.
 

"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.

If I can find some time this weekend I will probably play the remastered version of Alan Wake in anticipation of the new one that is coming out.
 

"She's Out of Your League"

You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.

Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.

She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.

Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

I got no gaming consoles. My TV stays cold because I hardly turn it on unless I’m streaming Netflix or playing youtube. I kinda regret dumping almost 3gs on my oled 4k but I rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

I prefer to read a book in these trying times but maybe thinking that some gaming will be a good mind workout as well.
What should I get a ps5 or Xbox?
Been wanting to play some GTA

Been doing a lot more video games lately. I’ve made it a point to play video games every single day. I think it’s a great way to prevent burnout even when you have a massive volume of work.

The best bang for buck these days Is to Buy an Xbox Series S and pay a Game Pass Subscription, No one can beat that value.
No reason to buy other consoles unless you are really into console exclusives.

The issue is that I game between 30 mins - 1 hour a day, but there are so many games that I want to play :lol:

Both on my backlog and new ones coming out. I’ve bought games for them to literally just sit lol. Trying to get caught up

For the life of me I can’t get used to the XBox controller. I grew up as a PlayStation/Nintendo kid tho
 

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"

You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.

For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.

Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.

The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

This is what happens when you take a 10/10 masterpiece like Breath of the Wild as your base. Then you polish, improve, and expand it for 5-6 years.

11 out of 10

It looks so good. I haven’t even beat the first one though :lol:

Maybe I’ll do that after I beat Kingdom Hearts 3.

However, if we’re talking Zelda it probably makes more sense to do the Link’s Awakening remake first cause that game is pretty damn short.

Yes. I recommend you to play them in this order:

Link´s Awakening Remake first (like you said, its shorter)

Then Breath of The Wild

Then Age of Calamity (its supposed to be a prequel to BotW, but it just makes more sense if you play BotW first anyway)

Then you finally play TotK to nicely put a bow on what Im calling "The Breath of the Wild Trilogy".
 

“The 22 Psychological Triggers That Make Women Chase You… Starting Tonight”

Forget the cash, the cars, and the chiseled jawlines. Female desire operates on a completely different frequency. Primal. Subconscious. Triggers that bypass her logic and hit her on a gut level. Most guys are totally blind to them.

I know because I was one of them. The overthinking. The paralysis. The silent drive home kicking yourself for freezing up. Watching average guys walk away with the girl while you stood there stuck in your own head.

Then I decoded the psychology behind what actually makes women tick. 22 hard rules.  Subtle behavioral shifts that rewired my entire reality. The anxiety evaporated. Women started leaning in. Investing. Chasing.

Definitely want to see what all the hype is about. You think I’d get burnt out playing the Breath of the Wild games back to back to back?

Or maybe I could throw some other short-ish game in the middle. Idk.

If they were average games, probably. But no, I dont think you will burnt out.

Age of Calamity is like an 8 out of 10 but BotW and TotK are masterpieces. You can skip Age of Calamity if you want (I wouldnt) and you wouldnt be really missing on the story since its supposed to be a prequel anyway.

I started playing some Fortnite and CoD: Warzone. Not sure why I never played them before, they are free.
Another free game released yesterday: My Hero Ultra Rumble. Its similar to Fortnite.
These game are available on pretty much all consoles. Except CoD Warzone, its not available on Switch.

Changing the subject a bit, Jim Ryan is retiring as Playstation´s CEO. Hopefully whoever´s next is an improvement.

I think EPIC is trying to slowly kill Fall Guys. A few months ago they announced they would "move away from seasons". So what´s the idea? The game survives just on cosmetics a fan-created maps? Then news broke yesterday that EPIC fired most of the Fall Guys team.
