I just had a beef bowl from the Ramen joint my spouse and I discovered a couple weeks ago. It was awesome. Also a great seaweed salad app. Just to go full on, I picked up some watermelon Ramune soda and some teriyaki mochi at the store too. Didn't plan on a full Japanese cuisine evening but I'm glad it happened.

Good to hear you're all enjoying your meals today.

It's even dumber that his nom de sputum, is almost certainly a Resident Evil 4 reference. ๐Ÿ™„

FWIW, my last phone (until 3 weeks ago) was a OnePlus Nord N20. Absolutely stellar budget phone with a solid mid-range experience and features. It had a headphone jack AND an SD card slot, as well as dual SIM tray if that's useful. I think it's actually higher spec than the N30. You can still find those. OnePlus is pretty good about including a lot of that stuff, except on their flagship phones. Hope that's helpful.

 

If I'm late to the party on this, my apologies. I just got the game because it's cheaper with PSPremium. It's awfully close to the VR Astrobot we hoped we would get. I've played about 3-4 hours and am on the second "world", and so far it's an absolute blast. If you played the original Astrobot Rescue for PSVR1 it's very similar. I don't want to go on too long, but here is a short list of pros and cons:

Pros:

*They add a few Mario-like mechanics with hidden blocks and overworld maps. *They add direct participation in the environment from the player a bit like Moss for some levels and it's great *Some score attack mini-games based on game mechanics

  • Movement and jump physics feel very smooth and intuitive

Cons:

  • The graphics and art are great but not quite the level of an Astrobot or Mario
  • They don't really develop the additional mechanics much or make make them integral to the gameplay
  • The difficulty is generally lower than a Mario, maybe a hair lower than Astrobot, but it has some strange ups and downs mid-game that make some parts feel too easy and others feel strangely frustrating. (This is minor, but it does pop-up from time to time.)

If you liked Astrobot VR this will definitely be a good choice for you, and over-all I think it's one of the better titles available on PSVR2 currently. I hope that's helpful information.

I played it back on the PS4. My memory is that I enjoyed the vast majority of it, and was pretty completionist on that one. Mostly because the world and environments are hauntingly beautiful. I enjoyed riding slowly through the world, almost never using travel, and exploring the nooks and crannies. If that's your bag I think you might like it. But The story does go through some contortions to fill out the play time.

Ah, so I'm guessing you're fully behind the Uyghur genocide that Xinping is committing.

When we switch to DST, we "Fall Back. ". We set the clocks one hour back, at 2:00am Sunday, so basically we get an extra hour of sleep just on that night. Then we lose one when we set the clocks forward in the spring.

To be fair, I don't think that extra hour, once in the Fall, is used as a reason for Daylight Savings in any debates.

So, just sword and sandal Sims? Jesus, it sounds so plausible now.

Thank you! Added to my watchlist.

Great, now we're going to have to fight the apparatus of the wealthy again to keep musk from destroying whatever life might be on Mars with his self aggrandizing BS.

My fear is that they will fix the chalice dungeon exploit. I'm perfectly willing to admit I am not good enough to beat it without that.

A "major" hasn't hit Tampa in over 100 years. (Major being 3 or higher.) Since landfall was Sarasota, I don't know if this counts to break the streak, but it's definitely the worst wind and rain in decades for Tampa and St. Pete. I'm very glad the storm surge didn't also set records

 

"Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii was revealed earlier today, setting up the bizarre story of fan-favorite Goro Majima donning buccaneer cosplay and sailing the high seas. In the wake of the announcement, people are suddenly starting to remember that an accurate outline of the entire game actually leaked months ago - it was just so ridiculous nobody believed it was true."

JUST IN: The jury has reached a verdict in Donald Trumpโ€™s hush money criminal trial in New York. The verdict will be read in court shortly. The 12-person jury has been considering whether Trump is guilty of 34 counts of falsifying business records, which are all connected to the alleged cover up of hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels. The jury must be unanimous in its decision. Trump has pleaded not guilty to the charges in the case and denies the affair with Daniels.

Taken early May, 2024; Myakka State Park, FL.

 

I also got several with internal reflections between the filter and the lens. Thought it was kind of cool.
