The "What's on your mind?" thread

[civiclx]

I just got a PS4 this week and I'm wondering what games I should get. I have gotten Hitman: Definitive Edition, Grand Theft Auto: Premium Edition and Mortal Kombat XL so far. I'm too cheap to buy the PS5 so that's why I got it. The reason I never ordered a PS4 before, (can't believe it came out 8 years ago), is because I had decided to put most of my money towards traveling back in 2013.

Anyway, so just browsing and trying to come up with a little list.

What games do you like?

If you like Souls-type games Bloodborne gets great reviews.

The PS4 is not lacking in RPGs, with everything from Final Fantasy to The Witcher.

Open-World type games got more popular later in the PS4 life cycle. Horizon Zero Dawn was my favorite, but there's also Red Dead Redemption 2 and GTA which you already got, plus various Assassin's Creeds.

Other hits were God of War, Uncharted series, The Last of Us, Spider-Man. It really was a great time to own a PS4.

Here is a shot of the games that I had for PS3. I never even opened all of them but I was interested enough to buy them all I will say that with games, I am not big into fantasy. I'm cool with fantasy movies but in games, I prefer my humans to fight other humans. I am considering one of the Middle Earth games though. Target has Middle Earth: Shadow Of War for $14.99 right now.

You should check out Uncharted 4 and the standalone Lost Legacy. It's like Tomb Raider and the PS4's capabilities get maxed. Best of all, the games are under $10.

I haven’t been this light, other than an ugly period during the 90’s, since I was a teenager.
When I got here 7 years ago, I was 205.
In my prime, I was 190 or so.
Now I’m quite a bit less.
I wonder why and am thinking I should see someone about it.

Is it affecting your life physically or mentally? If not, then it's probably not a big deal unless you care about being at peak physical condition. We all lose muscle mass as we get older, though many of us end up gaining fat!

My all-time low was 145lbs, my ex kept giving me shit for eating light and exercising, probably because I was making her look bad. Lost the motivation and ballooned back to 200lbs. Currently at 205, my once baggy clothes are tight on me now but I've decided I'm not going out and buying new clothes this time around(sold/gave away all my XL tops and 40+" waist pants years ago). I'm hoping to regain some confidence in myself to join a gym or at least rekindle my passion for trail running & long-distance cycling again when we complete our move from the northeast to midwest.

My advice as long you aren't feeling horrible(weak/sick) and have an active lifestyle, it's likely nothing to worry about.

Everything seems to be going to hell. My mood and my health.

When I had a severe weight loss 10 years ago, it turned out to be type 2 diabetes. I definitely recommend consulting a medical practitioner about it soon and safely.

Thanks, I have heard of the series but I'm not real familiar with it. I'm a retail store guy. Where can I find them for under $10? I haven't checked the various stores yet but I'm wondering if you might mean in a marketplace.

Sorry, the price is mostly secondhand on eBay and the like, where I'm seeing tons of listings for $7.xx shipped. It was bundled with consoles so the prices are cheap. If you have a GameStop or Best Buy nearby, they retail at $18-20 but are cheaper during sales. I'd send you mine, but I sold it on eBay for $8 recently since it's included with the PS5 PS Plus Collection. You might also find it at some Wal-Mart clearances.

If you don't mind digital copies, you can set up notifications below so you can get an alert when the PS Store has it for $10 or less:

I feel like a man this weekend. I installed 2 cordless blinds for my bathrooms, since both were broken. The first time, it took almost an hour to install 2 brackets & 4 screws because I installed the brackets backwards.

I reread the instructions and got it corrected.

These cordless blinds are nice. I’m thinking about replacing 2 bedroom windows with these types.

No offense, but these two lines don't add up IMO. But that's coming from a guy who can't mentally process most written instructions.

Nothing wrong with the bolded part.
As long as you admit to your mistake and learn from it, that is all that matters.

Type this into youtube: Stallone Highlights - Death Race 2000 (1975)

A plane that was flying here to The Mine or back to Yellowknife, lost power and it’s two engines shut down. The pilots, god bless them, got them fired up and they were okay.
Those planes are now grounded pending an investigation.
I don’t like flying and will now never ever get on that particular plane.

When I moved into my first apartment (still there) I had to buy window treatments (aka blinds/curtains) for all the windows. I'd never installed my own blinds but it looked easy enough on youtube. That may be the case for modern buildings or homes but not for 90-year-old apartment buildings with moldings with old caked-on paint all over them. I had a hell of a time and I never did install them correctly. I'm the type of person who would rather pay someone else to do the work lol.

That was my very first time installing blinds and I did watch YouTube prior. These blinds from Walmart were cheap, but they do look nice. I will probably replace the bedroom windows in the near future.

If you ever decide to do it yourself, just carefully read the instructions. I learned that the hard way.

Wow, not even a Day.
That has GOT to be a record!
