@Thrillho i like to confuse people, makes me seem more mysterious than i actually am

@RogerRoger @KratosMD i just checked and his last comment was a month ago, so yeah it looks like Sora just up and vanished

i wonder what happened

also that's 2 for stay and 0 for change so far

don't mind me i'm just changing my profile pic every day to confuse @Thrillho

@FullbringIchigo

@KratosMD @RogerRoger absolutely no ideas what happened to Teza aka @Fight_Sora_Fight. I'm still including him in messages but he has gone completely silent.

He did mention he wanted to finish his game of KH3 and his schedule had become too demanding. I hope he is ok

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy You missed so much! — E3 happened including a bunch of Cyberpunk and FFVII hype, Death Stranding got a release date, .... uh, and @themcnoisy is apparently building the next Game Awards GOTY within Dreams! Other than that, it’s the same junk as usual. 😛

Building on this conversation since i have been out of loop for 2 months. bites nails

@Thrillho

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy
Urgh!!!
Have experienced a burglary (well, house breaking, assault and attempted burglary) - it's not the nicest. Hope it wasn't too affecting.

@FullbringIchigo Urgh, not that guy again.

That is your most disturbing avatar so far though.

@Thrillho i have a LOT more i can use

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy
Indeed! I hope you beefed up all of your security - that's not nice at all!

I ended up chasing 2 men out of my partner's house to a narrow passage and a locked gate. One tried to stab me in the neck with the screwdriver they used to pop the upvc door while the other was forcing the gate. Thankfully, he was as bad at stabbing as I am good with swinging a kosh

Welcome back @Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy your teammates were wondering if you were OK a few weeks ago. Glad to hear you are safe!

We need Teza back now. Top person, always had a great comment to continue the discussion. I hope he is OK as well.

@Foxy-Goddess-Scotchy Welcome back! Hope your real life gets better for you, and your next gaming experience isn't such a let down as Resident Evil Zero.

Always sucks when a much beloved franchise has stinker of a game released!

So ive had alot of back problems and ordered me a new bed. Its a casper 12" memory foam mattress. Has anyone tried a bed like this? I need a better bed and wondering if anyone has any input on this.

@ellsworth004 I had a foam mattress in one place I lived and it gave me backache for the first couple of nights as I got used to it but after that it was great.

I’m glad me and my girlfriend agreed on the type of mattress we liked when we bought one after moving into our new place. Her one back at her parents’ house is so soft it also gives me backache.

I’m getting old

Hey y'all, having real problems at sticking with games. I am normally a very much complete a game before moving on (unless the game is really really dire). I have just struggled to complete much this year. The only games to hook me have been smaller indies.

I've given up on Sekiro this year, and faltered on a few other titles. Almost finished Bloodborne for the second time and DLC for the first time but now finding it hard to find motivation to get off my backside and get through the last 5-6 hours. I also suck at boss fights.

Not sure if it is the insane size of my backlog doing this to me that I feel pressure to move on. Or maybe I am just too stressed at the moement to really savour what I am playing. Anyone else have this?

@Rudy_Manchego it could be that your just unsure as to what you actually want to play right now so your switching through trying to find that one that grabs you

you know like when you flip through the TV channels until something catches your eye

@Rudy_Manchego
I routinely bail on games for many reasons, but mostly because I have a pretty short attention span for some games. It either grips me completely in some way or it doesn't.

A lot of the time with something with a good online element, I'll be wrapped up in that and disregard the single player a bit. Most recently that's happened with Ace Combat 7.

I tend to really hammer a game for a week or two then just pull back from it. And quite often go back to them well after the fact, but sometimes not.

Not something I worry about if I'm honest.

Going back to finish the SP of Doom (2016) soon

@Rudy_Manchego I’m definitely right there with you. I have developed a propensity to bail on games too. I have had trouble with games of length especially. I was able to finish Red Dead 2, but I keep sputtering on Persona 5 and The Witcher 3. I look at my backlog and the games that seem to interest me most are the short ones or the pickup-and-play ones. So my last few games I’ve spent time with have been fighters, indies, platformers, and music games.
I wish I had a solution for you. It’s weird what seems to strike my fancy though as lately I booted up The Handsome Collection on a whim and I’m loving it. With super awesome games like P5, W3, GoW, Spider-Man, and AC Origins and Odyssey in my backlog, you’d think I’d want to play all the GOTY contenders, but problem is, the time investment is a turn off lately.
