"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"

Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."

You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.

She's been waiting forty minutes.

Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

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.
 

"I'm Not Looking for Anything Serious Right Now"

When a woman says it, guys hear a confession. A heads-up. A scheduling conflict.

Here's the translation: I don't feel anything. Right now. With you.

Watch what happens when a man triggers actual attraction. The busy career, the recent breakup, the "not in a place to date" — all of it evaporates instantly. The same woman who was guarding her freedom is suddenly free every night.

The "22 Rules" explain why. When the right switches flip, her timeline rearranges itself around you.

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.
