I remember seeing kids in the middle school bathroom choking each other and I thought it looked really dumb. Luckily all my friends agreed it was a dumb game. In highschool we did the dead leg game and also a "zop" game where you hit the kid's forearm in the right spot to make a big bump form. I was never good at that game but I could give good dead legs. One time me and a buddy did a double dead leg to our other friend right before football practice. It was quite funny watching him try and run out to practice with both legs in pain. As I type it out I realize how mean it really was but at the time we all did it to each other so it was just normal.

I don't know how popular it was since none of my friends remember it but I loved Phantasmagoria. Its a point and click horror mystery game with video captured graphics.

And tears

I've completed this game twice with my kids. By far the most requested game they want to play because of the coop. The subject matter might be a little deep for their age but the gameplay is stellar.

Elden Ring to get a new character ready for the DLC. Picked up Symphony of War: The Nephilim Saga on a recent sale. Still only a few hours in so just now getting into some of the more complex squad builds. Seems like there will be tons of ways to customize the squads, I anticipate many more hours spent.

I picked up Dredge on sale a few weeks ago and got the platinum trophy recently. It's my first platinum trophy to ever get. The game was well worth the price even if I hadn't gotten it on sale.

My kids' school recently had an active shooter drill like we used to do fire drills when I was a kid. They said they all had hiding spots to go to and they thought it was pretty scary. They're in elementary school. It's definitely not normal that instead of doing something about the guns we have to teach kids to hide from gunmen because that's just a legit possibility now.

What makes drag queens scum bags?

Looks like this is what I bought almost exactly 3 years ago: AMD Ryzen 5 3600X 6-Core, 12-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor with Wraith Spire Cooler

I'm playing with a Ryzen 5 and a 970 and it runs pretty smooth on low settings. I'm not a graphics whore though so I don't mind the visuals on low.

Didn't even consider this one because I never left it. Having it on mobile means I'm playing it in way too many situations I shouldn't be.

I really want Armored Core 6 after seeing gameplay but my budget is tight right now. Also itching for BG3 but I have owned BG1 EE for years so finally playing that, and also just bought BG2 EE last night on steam for $6 so those will hopefully hold me over a while.

And then there's MK1 coming out soon but I know that'll eventually be packaged with all the Kombat packs for cheap in a few years so holding off there too.
