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
"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.
What video games are you guys playing these days?

“The 22 Rules That Flip the Script With Women… And How You Can Use Them Tonight”
Most guys accidentally kill attraction before they even speak. They assume they need a bigger bank account, a better physique, or smoother lines. They miss the point.
Female desire operates on a specific set of psychological triggers. Break them, and you're invisible. Follow them, and you become magnetic.
I learned this the hard way. Years of freezing up. Getting friend-zoned. Watching other guys walk away with the girl I wanted. Then I discovered a set of 22 simple rules that rewired my entire approach.

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.
"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.

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)

Derail Valley. If you like doing more that just driving a train from point A to B, this is the one. You have a career and you take on all sorts of jobs to earn money for licenses and gadgets for your train.
There’s shunting, long hauls, logistical hauls, loading/unloading consists, and several different locomotives you can earn licenses to operate. There are lots of cities, towns and industries that you travel to. Later you can unlock the museum license where you can tow old wrecked locomotives that you find lying in the weeds throughout the valley. You can then restore them, and at that point you own them.
This is one of those games where they really got the physics right and there are no annoying aspects to the interface. The locos and trains have a very heavy, physical feel to them. The sound is immersive.
This game doesn’t hold your hand. You’ve got to figure out how to logically navigate around various train yards by throwing the correct track switches. It’s a great way to get lost for several hours at a time.

Undead campaigns in WC3 was a yearly thing for me for a while. Now I'm not so sure.
"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.
