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
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
What video games are you guys playing these days?

"She Liked You in March. It's October Now."
Attraction runs on a clock.
She flirted for weeks. Touched your arm. Found reasons to be alone with you. And you were careful. Respectful. Waiting for the right moment.
The moment had a shelf life. It expired around month two, and by the time you asked her out, she'd quietly filed you under "little brother."
One of the hardest lessons inside the 22 Rules: women rarely wait. Interest either grows or it decays, and nothing decays it faster than a man who never moves.
Make the move while she's still inventing reasons to be near you.

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.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

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 just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

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.

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)
