Ok, I really should. It was a major disappointment when I played at launch and looked everywhere for how to board the train and couldn’t find it.

I think it’s the harsh consonant sounds. I’m not a linguist and am sure there’s some term for it, but it seems like we identify words in English more from the distinct “framing” of the consonants and are more flexible about hearing variations in how the vowel sounds in between are pronounced.

For example, it’s the same reason that whispering (which largely takes out tone/pitch of vowel sounds) is super easy in English, but more difficult in some other languages.

Wait, does this mean they got the train working?! I haven’t played since early on.

It’s nobody’s decision but yours, but I will point out that as humans, we are very poor predictors of how we will think or feel in the future.

When we’re depressed, our brains process thoughts of the future as if we’ll be sad forever. When we’re happy and have lots of energy, we make big plans as if we’ll always feel that way. Lottery winners feel an initial euphoria and think they’re set for life, but studies show their mood returns to baseline after about 1 year. Age and development helps you push the fog of foresight a little further, but it’s still hard.

I don’t know you, but if I were speaking to myself at age 22, I would caution making a decision like that so early. I still cringe about being tasked with picking a college major at 18 and how wrong that could’ve gone, and this is easily 100x more important.

I love my Logitech G502, which I’m sure you will see recommended anywhere you look because it’s pretty popular.

I’m still using the wired version, but if I were to be in the market for a new one today, the wireless one would be the first I checked out.

How is Nintendo going to feed its family now?

I’ve noticed that with experience comes better predictive play, rather than relying on reaction time.

That deserves a medal as far as I’m concerned.

Never heard of that one, but will look it up. Thanks!

Getting there. I’m introducing my oldest (3) to all the Mario games now.

Remember when we all dressed like that 10 years ago?

Good luck finding land that is not near fracking sites. It’s been done basically everywhere, right?

I’m not a judge, but isn’t internet essentially a utility these days? Cutting someone off because of piracy seems like cutting off electricity or water because they did something illegal with it.

I did the same thing. SNES as well. The boxes were just packaging to me at the time, but now I wish I had them.

Chess has taken over a significant portion of my gaming time since getting into it a couple of years ago.

It’s a beautifully deep game, and it’s refreshing to be able to pour time into something with staying power that people of every age play all over the world.
