Hey.

I’m Dan. A 36 year old father of two who doesn’t have nearly as much time as he needs to do half the things he wishes he had the time to do.

Oneeightnine , to gaming in How does multiplayer gaming fit into your life?
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

It kind of doesn’t. Me and my brothers will play some Rocket League on a Monday night (assuming our kids are in bed) but aside from that my gaming is exclusively single-player.

Never been a big online gamer, but since having kids that’s basically become a non-starter.

I finished Hogwarts Legacy last night and whilst I think it fumbled the landing to some extent it’s probably one of my favourite new games of the year. I usually prefer a more…focused experience, and that’s the case here, but the game does a fantastic job of getting you into it’s world.

Not sure what to play next. PinocchioSouls is still a month away.

@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

Only takes one though. As soon as someone looking at buying a console sees there’s a chance they’ll miss out, they’ll potentially make the decision to go with the Sony machine instead.

Microsoft already has an exclusive issue, this isn’t doing anything but compounding that issue.

I’ve finally gotten around to watching season Three of Ted Lasso. I’m not sure why they made the decision to push the episodes above 50 minutes; it messes with the pacing and leads to less snappy dialogue…and the shows grasp of the business of football has never been less… realistic.

Aside from those complaints it’s been pretty good stuff.

Oneeightnine , to workreform in Major 4-day workweek study suggests that when we work 5 days we spend one doing basically nothing
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

I work five days in a warehouse. If I go more than five minutes without scanning a box then it alerts the manager and they’ll come down and see what’s occurring.

So yeah. I feel like this stat is more for office sorts who (and I may be wrong here) spend a lot of time on Reddit and Facebook during the work day.

Right but you’re probably a little more clued up to this sort of stuff than the average consumer who’s seen the marketing and thought ‘oh lovely, I don’t need a disk drive’ in this thing.

Both my brothers own the S. It’s an incredible little machine, but imo they screwed the proverbial pooch when they pushed this as a 1080p alternative to the more powerful Series X.

I think the problem they’ve given themselves is that they pushed it as a cheaper alternative to the X whilst also maintaining that it’ll be able to play the same games.

How do they go about messaging that can’t be the case going forward without pissing off those that spent the money on the S in the first place.

I’m with you brother. Five years on and I’m still exhausted.

Quick look on Wikipedia and it looks as though the UK, Ireland and Australian versions of SoS got split in two because of length.

Oneeightnine , to books in Any Books like The Martian by Andy Weir
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

Had a hard time with this one and I’m not sure I ever figured out why. Initially I thought it was just a bit uninteresting but now I’m wondering if there’s more there. Not sure he writes his female protagonists all that well (which I can understand given you know, he’s not female).

Massive fan of The Martian and Weirs follow up called ‘Project Hail Mary’. It leans a little more in the direction of Science Fiction than the Martian did, but it’s an absolute page turner from front to back.

Agreed it’s deeply cynical on their part…but the sad thing is that people will happily hand over their money for it.

Oneeightnine , to books in Do they also sometimes split a book into two in your country?
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

I think the English language versions of 3/5 ASoIaF books are already split into two anyway. Can’t remember if aGoT or CoK are however.

Oneeightnine , to ukcasual in Happy Monday, whats the craic?
@Oneeightnine@feddit.uk avatar

Missus took the kids away for the weekend; first time I’d have a night to myself in well over 5 years. It was amazing. Until they came back…

Anyway Monday is going to be an easy day. Partner is working, the kids are tired from the holiday and I think we’re just going to mong out at home. And when I say ‘mong’, i mean that my daughter is going to make me watch The Descendants over and over again on D+.
