If you need an office suite, you can use LibreOffice/OnlyOffice as a full MS Office replacement. OnlyOffice is basically identical to MS Word, Excel, and Powerpoint, and LibreOffice replaces the rest. With MS fonts installed, you should have no trouble writing a .wordx document in Times New Roman.

If you’re a gamer, I recommend Pop!_OS. Everything works out of the box, plus extra compatibility for Nvidia cards. It took me a second to get used to the UI, but now I can’t go back.

Bleach is awesome! Mix it with some water, use a rag or sponge and scrub. DO NOT mix anything else with the bleach. Bleach is basic, and a lot of other cleaning products are acidic. Mix a strong enough acid with a strong enough base and you get mustard gas. It doesn’t smell too great, on top of other issues. If you want to clean with bleach plus something, be safe and buy premade cleaner with bleach.

EDIT: I should also say you can’t use bleach on everything, it can damage some things. Always test a small, hard to see area before you clean a surface with bleach. For the stuff that you can’t get bleach on, you can use white vinegar or all-purpose cleaner.

The evidence is so blatant, in fact, that listening to him talk about his record feels more like listening to a 4 year old talk about how they didn’t take a cookie from the cookie jar while covered in crumbs and chocolate.

GTA: San Andreas, OG Loc mission. I’m much better at it after all these years, but I still run into at least 5 walls and fall off my bike every time. It’s way harder than the train mission.

Yep

Barbara Walters definitely was…

Oh, I thought it was named after the chicken.

Return of the Obra Dinn. The 2nd game from the maker of Papers, Please. You’re trying to solve the murders or disappearances of 60 people on a ship, using a watch that can view their moment of death. Insanely unique game, and it’s hard to replicate that feeling of all the pieces of the puzzle falling into place that this game fosters.

I think when they say “hard R” here, they mean a strong R rating for the film, not the other hard R for which Tarantino is known.

If only the people that do this actually thought this way.

Not scifi or fantasy, but have you heard of Pentiment? It’s by Josh Sawyer, lead designer of New Vegas. You’re an artist in 1518 Bavaria completing your masterpiece at a monastery, when someone gets killed and you must collect evidence. There’s much more to it than that, of which I can’t speak without giving anything away. However, I can tell you that the game has no combat, it’s just exploration and dialogue. The whole game looks like an illuminated manuscript, and you walk around engaging in some of the most captivating conversations ever to be in a video game. The character creation is extremely unique; in the beginning, you pick where you spent your year abroad, what you do in your free time, what you got your Master’s degree in, and what your favorite subject was at university. All of these determine your attitude on and knowledge of pretty much every subject in the game. It has one of the most unique speech check systems in any RPG, with entire conversations counting toward convincing someone, showing you what you said right and wrong at the very end. Masterpiece.

When people say mouse and keyboard is “better” than controller, they just mean that the skill ceiling you can reach on M&K is higher than on controller, which is true. At the end of the day, just use what you prefer. I can’t imagine playing CS2 with a controller, and I don’t think Far Cry would be nearly as much fun on mouse and keyboard, there’s different cases for both. But you absolutely won’t be able to stack up to people playing M&K in most competitive shooters, and that’s what people mean when they say M&K is better.

You’ve answered your own question. You like 3rd-person shooter platformers, a genre which isn’t as prevalent as it was in the 6th generation of consoles. Not as many games are coming out that fit your tastes. You’re also nostalgic, which is perfectly fine, but you have to take off the goggles sometimes. I like Mario Sunshine better than a lot of modern 3D platformers, because I’ve been playing it for years and it was a big part of my childhood. But just because I love revisiting that game more than playing a new game sometimes, that doesn’t mean modern games aren’t reiterating and improving upon the things that made it great. A Hat in Time, Psychonauts 2, The Cosmic Shake, Spark the Electric Jester, Orbo’s Odyssey, SEUM, Frogun, New Super Lucky’s Tale, Supraland, Crash 4. So many great 3D platformers in recent years, with a ton of improvements to quality of life and control compared to where we were back in the day, as well as many new concepts.

Also, claiming that PS2 platformers as a whole look better than modern platformers as a whole is ridiculous, and you’re also giving no examples of either case.

E.T. is decent at best. I wanted to watch it as a young kid, but wasn’t allowed. By the time I finally watched it, I found it fell short of my expectations and I found it quite dull. Super 8 was also a middling film, but I thought it was slightly better than E.T.
