This is a great coincidence for me as I have been getting into retro gaming and emulation so I have been enjoying going back and playing games I loved as a kid on the GBA, Gamecube, and PS2. Tops right now are Simpsons Hit and Run, Pokemon Emerald, and Super Mario Strikers. It’s amazing how well older games can be emulated to the best versions you have ever played of them today.

I am in the last semester of my studies which I resumed again because my current job had no room for growth. It was a huge amount of money that had definitely upgraded my knowledge and abilities, but I’m not convinced it will translate to a better job, at least right away. Will probably take 6-12 months to find a better role I am anticipating

I like the idea of this. A open and non competitive atmosphere where you can play with your friends and family. I think the organized league style is killing my love of playing sports. Our league is supposed to be “fun first” but I find that is rarely the case. I think I do need a change and what you described here is very appealing

Definitely Netflix with the password sharing lockdown garbage. Then I looked closely at my Spotify. I realized my yearly rewind was almost always the same artists at the top, so I pay over $100 a year to listen to the same music every year. I bought the album’s I like and I feel so at peace now that Spotify can no longer tnrow shitty podcast recommendations in my face.

I met my wife on Bumble and we just had our first baby. Dating apps didn’t work well for me for about a year, but then they really started to pick up and I had much better dates. What I found worked best was sticking to swiping, but getting to an actual date within the first week of talking and limiting getting to know eachother over text. If you do the whole introductory phase on an app, then you will have a hard time developing a dialogue or a vibe in person. If you use the apps for brief introductions and finding dates, then they are good. I would just try to take the dialogue off the app as soon as you see an opportunity to have a date in person.
