I was reading the walkthrough of Story of Seasons : Pioneers of Olive Town about Spirit Quest that occurred after finishing the main storyline.
There are a lot of Spirit Request after post game that really really required tons of items to finish the request. It was like I have to working my butt off to get the requirement items with the amount of quantity given and those numbers are ridiculous a lot. 😱🥴
I still have to postpone my wedding before my house get upgraded to final expansion and at least I have obtained all the four seasons islands because I have 3 bachelors to be my husband and I want to experience with different husbands so I have to provide another 3 save slots for each husband as I married with specific husband, I will continue the game with different fate and to play with other husband that have different progress of my Spirit Request, it will be very painful to redo the unfinished Spirit Request when I played with different save files.
One save file might be have better progress than the other save files as I don't want to working my butt off for the same unfinished Spirit Request on different save files.
If I have to finish all the Spirit Request, it will take very very long time to finish, might be take 3 years to finish all the Spirit Request and when I can get married if I have to postpone the marriage for 3 years. 😵

Well, at least I will keep the first save file data with condition before married, just in case if something wrong happened.
My first priority is marrying Ralph as I like his masculine looking as a forest ranger with baseball cap.
My second priority is marrying Emilio as I like his spiky short hair with beach boy looking and medium skin. He looks sexy with that looking.
My third priority is marrying Jack (I prefer called him Raymond as Jack name was similar as Jack / Raymond name in ACNH) as he has cute looking face with blonde hair.
I have fourth priority, he is Damon but I don't really like his facial shape and his body was skinny with punk biker outfits.
Not sure if I want to expand the hunt of other husbands from the DLC.

@Anti-Matter The Golden Compass/Northern Lights is a lovely children’s story all about atheism, child murder and genocide.

@nessisonett
The Golden Compass has the video games (PS2, PS3, Wii, XBOX 360, PSP, NDS), the movie and the kids book so I believe the contents inside are still tolerable enough for kids to digest.
The book version by Scholastic (screenshot above) was available in my school library.

His Dark Materials novels are suitable for children aged 11+, some suggest 9+. I'm not so sure, it really depends on the maturity of the child. They are excellent books though, I highly recommend them. Absolutely can get a lot out of the as an adult as well, definitely not just for the younger reader.

Today is 3rd anniversary of my PS3 Slim purchase day on 29 December 2019. 😊
And to celebrate the anniversary, I bought PS3 Move set after 3 years I have been waiting patiently to find the right time to buy PS3 Move.
I tried my purchased PS3 games with Move requirement right after I bought the PS3 Move set. Some games I still struggle to follow the instruction due to first time using Move. My biggest impression so far was from Kung Fu Riders and Racket Sports. Eyepet was really tedious to listen all the narator said in order to able to proceed the next commands. Since I bought the PS3 Move controllers with low battery condition, I have to charge them while I played PS3. Next time I will charge all the PS3 Move controllers onto PS3 machine while I'm playing normal PS3 games.

Just a random question/musing that I know we’ve touched on before, but how many of you multitask during gaming? The question is prompted by @Fight_Teza_Fight remarking that they sometimes have a TV show on in the background while playing video games. I’m not sure I’ve heard of that practice before (this isn’t a judgement by the way — actually more of an expression of sincere admiration that you can do that), but I hear a lot of people will listen to podcasts or their own music while gaming.

I guess I’m maybe an outlier because I just can’t do two things at once like that. I don’t ever have anything else going on in the background while I’m playing. The most I could say is that I might have the washer going and be doing some chores simultaneously when I can pause the game, put them in the dryer, then come back — you know, something like that. But I have to pause the game. (Insert grumpy comment about FromSoft games not having a pause function…)

As an aside, this doesn’t just apply to gaming either. I sometimes try to engage in other things while watching TV — like reviewing some paperwork, surfing the internet, folding laundry (sheesh… lots of laundry stuff today), and I find one of the two activities suffer. Either I lose what’s going on in the show and end up not enjoying it, or I do a poor job at whatever else I’m trying to accomplish.

Am I in the minority?

@Th3solution i'll put on some youtube when i have to grind for a while in a game to make it less boring.

it helps me push through the grind.

@Th3solution Personally I don’t do almost anything without multi-tasking so it might just be me. When I’m driving to work, shopping or at the gym I always catch up with my podcasts.
With gaming I always have either Netflix or YouTube on. I obviously pause during story segments, but that’s about it. During the World Cup for example I watched almost 2/3 of all the games whilst gaming as I work late (apart from the final). I wouldn’t want to choose between the two.
I also don’t have much ‘me’ time & I do try to make time for the family.
It works😅.

I don’t multitask in games, a big part of the experience is the sound design and not being able to enjoy it as part of the experience just kills it for me. Watching YouTube while playing frankly sounds hellish to me, even if I am just grinding out XP. I used to play Tony Hawks and GT1 back in the day with the radio on or something, but that’s about it!

@Th3solution Just me and whatever game I'm playing, bad enough when the Mrs walks Infront of the t.v. never mind having another screen to look at or something. Phone on silent and PS5/switch on 😃!

With gaming, almost never doing something else. At the most, I will have music on in the background if I'm playing a racing game, or something where you spend a lot of time in the menus, as I usually quickly get bored of the in-game music.

When it comes to TV and films, I'm usually on here or catching up on emails etc. I know when something has really grabbed when I stop doing that to actually watch it lol.

@Th3solution The only time I’ve multitasked was watching Netflix while grinding in Yakuza: Like a Dragon

That said, I’ve started watching a lot more on streaming services recently as I feed the baby at the same time in the evening. I’m rattling through shows at the moment!

Wow, interesting poll so far. Looks to be around 50-50 of people who like do multitask during gaming versus those who like to focus on just the one activity.

I have heard that brushing your teeth while in the shower is a great optimization of both activities. Have never tried it though. Nor eating in the shower, which also is apparently done by some.

I do read while on the toilet, but doesn’t everyone do that? 😜

I turned on MP3 songs from my handphone while playing games with very boring music.

@Th3solution all sounds very alien to me. If playing a game, 100% focus on the game.

As an aside, worst case of multi tasking I saw was a man at work eating an apple whilst using the urinal next to me

@MatthewJP 😂 Yikes! I’m not sure why that disgusts me, but it definitely seems gross.

After I use a public bathroom, I have to resist the urge to burn all the clothes I was wearing because those places are often really disgusting. I especially hate looking down on the floor when I’m using a urinal. I don’t always wash the bottom of my shoes when I get home but I definitely at least take them off before I walk inside! 😅

My PSP 30000 battery couldn't be charged (blinked flash orange light when being charged).
I was thinking to dock my PSP 30000 and I want to display the PSP games on TV and being controlled by PS3 controller.
Is that possible happen ?
How do you dock your PSP 30000 without battery ?
