I only have so much time.
What method do you suggest to weed through entertainment that is not worth your time?

RE2 on PSX was my first.
I had two distinct feelings of extreme dread and true primal fear.
One was the first sequence, attempting to maneuver through the burning zombies.
The next was the morgue, even knowing as I walked in exactly what would happen.
I’ve never since then felt such and emotion in life that compared.

Oh man… “crimson heads…”

Holy crap…. is THAT what was happening?!
I wondered why the damned things would never die.
I liked both RE2/3 (also loved the originals) but wasn’t as blown away as OP was.
Perhaps it came down to the difficulty issue you note and the fact that I’ve played / beaten every RE in existence.

Was he not just the benefactor of being in the right place at the right time and reacting in a good way?
I’d say that his high point was mostly due to luck and a good playing of the cards dealt to him at the time. He has since revealed that he is a scummy dude.

I’m not from New York so I could be greatly oversimplifying or misrepresenting things, mind you…

Great to see consequences for the terrorist acts they committed.
I can’t help but scratch my head how someone with obvious Latino roots managed to find himself a part of this gang and then to have risen to the top…?
It is like a real life version of Clayton Bigsby.

I just wrapped up the last one on my list: Sekiro.
It wasn’t as hard as everyone makes it out to be but that could be due to my having previously gone through Bloodborne and learned how to be aggressive.

All of their games are superbly fun but it did take me a lot of tries for it to click.
I started out terrible at them - and frankly am still nothing special - but am super glad that I persevered.
While I have other favorites as well, the Soulsborne will always rank at the top of my list for gaming perfection.

I loved BOTW as a generic open world adventure game. It was probably the worst “Zelda” entry outside of the CD-i games though.
I just pretend that it wasn’t one at all.
The weapons breaking thing along with incredibly repetitive and boring enemies made me avoid all fights not absolutely necessary.
The boss fights - few and far between though they were - were good.

I had hoped that the new one would fix all of the previous one’s issues but as people like us are in the minority it seems that they kept the formula the same. I’m not sure if I’ll even play it.

Yeah, the federal law needs to be fixed.
In the meantime though, it is pretty unlikely that they would go after anyone.
Keep on following state / local laws and vote where you can to improve things at a federal level!
That is my plan anyway.

Yikes - that last bit hurt!
I am extremely cognizant as I ride my bike but know that even then there could be a point where I’m forced to share the road and end up a victim.

I’m just to the point where my drive is fully internal.
Stay healthy and “all around” fit is good enough!

Almost certainly this is what is happening.
Most closely the baader-meinhof phenomenon.

Uhhh… I managed to save up a hefty down payment and bought my house in 2009.
It has since then over doubled in value.
So yeah, “sane choice = buying a home while you are young” is my vote.

… buuuuut, today you’d have to be nuts to buy a home.
Not sure where that leaves the young people today, but there is no way (in my area at least) that home values will keep on climbing.
They plateaued and I don’t see any further appreciation.

If you have the option, maybe look @ moving to a blue state that is doing all it can to keep the crazies at bay and create human-centric societies.
Personally, it isn’t the most important thing to me, but I did vote for it to be legal and I am proud that I’m aligned with the majority of my neighbors on the issue!

As someone in management, health is absolutely paramount and the basic building blocks of creating happy and productive workers.
I have a guy that will soon be taking 6 weeks of paternal leave (sucks I had kids too early to do so myself) and my only requirement of him is that he only thinks of himself, his wife, and his kid.

I said I’d leave and followed through.
Between Spez and their killing of Apollo, I decided to part ways.
It is also really nice here @ Beehaw (thus far) to see that interactions are of a much higher caliber.
I don’t comment a ton, but I have yet to have any negative experiences.
Maybe the “human vetted” application process helps?

I am simply engaged in a never ending battle with the most feared and revered opponent I’ve ever come across: myself.
Seriously though, I don’t have the time / interest / patience to do group sports.
Running / cycling / hiking are great loner sports.

Oh, and maybe you didn’t realize it at the time, but kids are just as if not more brutal and competitive.
I occasionally help coach my son’s hockey team.

Were we at a concert together?

Yeah I now recall reading that.
I also recently read that he is aware that he has never had such an inspired and creative moment in his life since 2003. Whatever the case, I’m glad they dropped that one magical gem and that was that. You can’t top perfection.

Of Monsters and Men disappointed me with their second album.
As mentioned by another user, Mumford & Sons went a weird and unfortunate direction.

I’ll say that I am glad that The Postal Service dropped one perfect album and never released anything ever again.
Also, while Daft Punk did change over time (maybe hardcore house fans grew to hate them), I would argue that their albums only got better over time and their final album was absolute musical perfection.
Their breaking up was the most bittersweet decision I’ve seen in music.

Glad to hear this one. Their third album seriously had me wondering if it was incorrectly labeled.
What a dumpster fire.
I still love their first two albums of course.
