  I played this at lunch, and yes…a little bit but not fully.

  By that I mean you’ll get crafting recipes, but it’s not the granular block by block building of Minecraft.

  Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom.

  Turning off the HUD makes you look up at the environment to help you plan where to go. You start to remember shapes and areas that way. Plus it’s just nice.

  Your hearts and stuff will show up if they need to, but otherwise it’s totally blank. And since pulling up the map is quick it’s really not that jarring to not have it in the corner.

  Do I still have to tap X to run?

  If you do drop, just know that it’s often a lot harder to get the motivation to go back if you need to.

  In ten years, if you are 35 or so, no matter where you are in life it’ll be harder to go back.

  I’m not saying the answer here is to stay in school if you are burned out. But just realize that it will be harder to get that motivation later on in life.

  Ugly Thunder win and impressive Mavs comeback.

  Dort seemed to shoot several clunkers back to back in that fourth quarter that just killed momentum.

  I’ll always take the W, though.

  I’ve always thought that they didn’t do it because they’d have to change some characters out wholesale because Americans are prudes.

  Specifically, there are several men in drag in the game. And they are part of the main story, so it’d be too much work to change them.

  I’m still going through Spider-Man 2 as my main game.

  I was fortunate to get a new OLED recently that does the 120hz/40fps modes and all those wizbangs, and things kinda finally feel “next gen.” Smooth gameplay with little sacrifice to visuals (ray tracing is still on). Yeah yeah, it’s not a 4090ti or whatever. But I’m in my living room with a giant 4K screen and surround sound and it’s great.

  I think with the much better SSD speeds of the ps5 and xbox, along with this 120hz business, I’m finally like “oh wow, ok. *That’s *cool.” The newest Ratchet and Clank in this setup is insane. There’s probably an argument that you shouldn’t have to buy a new TV to get these visual benefits and whatnot. And that’s fine. But I’m fortunate to be able to get the fun toys, so I’m having a real good time.

  Back in the day, I installed Chex Quest on our computer and then tried to uninstall it later on. The base files were removed, but the PC always showed a listing for that game in the Add/Remove Applications section.

  The ghost of Chex Quest haunted that PC until we moved on from it.
