I’ve never had Rosemary chips but now I desperately want to try some

The subtitle of the article says it’s not available in the US -

PC Manager app is only available in some regions, but could come to the US eventually

WHAT
When did it die? That’s so sad

That was early access. The full release is soon (q2 2024) according to their Steam page

Most formal cleaning companies will do a deep cleaning to form a clean baseline, or let you add on extras per session to address when you need. Usually it’s hourly based with a minimum time requirement. If you don’t need them to do something, it might work out to be cheaper if doing it would have put you over the minimum time.
If you find a self employed cleaning person, they are more likely to be more flexible and able to handle the odd tasks like tidying up or handling laundry. Maybe even help organize or do other routine tasks that you don’t have the bandwidth for.

Sorry, I don’t really have any for PC, we played Pico using remote coop

Pico Park made our group rage in the best way. It’s a cute and fun game

FFXIV handles it “okay”, in that you get a large portion of glam in game and the cash shop stuff is largely excess. There are a few cases where it would have been better to have the reward in game, but for the most part I feel like I can play the game without needing to buy anything.
The impression the community gets is the cash shop is a begrudging feature that SE higher ups mandate to keep cash flow going (because XIV is funding most of SE’s other projects)

This trailer and the feelings it evokes will always be in my mind. It may just be a bunch of clips and speeches overlaid with amazing music but damn is it perfect.

It makes sense, especially with the direction Remake started to go. And the original Crisis Core was getting to be very dated by now, so a refresh was welcome

Sure, I’m curious what your opinions are on it! I enjoyed it quite a bit, but I can already think of parts people might not like. I’m not one of those rabid fans that will defend it religiously, it’s by no means a perfect game.

I used to avoid turn based for the same sentiment, but have found some really compelling games that change the formula that have changed my mind. Not every game will be a winner, but there are still some good ones out there.

Strict turn based used to always seem simple to me, and I don’t find it appealing all the time. Pokemon has unit variety, but the strictness of each turn can get really stale.

Games that improve turn based combat are my preference in this category. Persona 5 changes the flow of combat depending on how each unit/character performs and exploits type weaknesses (chain/group attacks). It also takes Pokemon typing and unit diversity and makes a cool fusion/inheritance system out of it.
Older Final Fantasy games with Active Time Battle also scratch this itch where the timing of using skills and specific character order still somewhat matters, you don’t always mash A and spam abilities. FF also does really well with unit customization - materia, GFs, Sphere Grid, etc. mean consecutive playthroughs won’t always feel the same.
Chrono Trigger takes ATB and adds geometry in a physical dimension to attacks which is really unique, but still feels turn based at its core.

Like you said, full tactical games are fine because the quantity of units or structure of the arena make the turn based mode interesting. BG3/Divinity, Fire Emblem, Triangle Strategy/FF Tactics, and Gloomhaven fall in this category and I love games like these.

I realize now I kinda hit the points in the article, oops. Sorry if this was repetitive lol

This is a mod for Slay the Spire, not the game itself. You’re still free to buy it, a lot of people enjoy it, but the mod devs won’t get anything

Even better if you can get into a family plan with friends

Robit, mimicking how Zoidberg calls Bender sometimes

Nah I love that term haha I might steal it during my next online session

In games I play, we call it a “bio break” or just “bio” because it can also include getting more water or snacks, or stretching after sitting for a little bit

Or Variant/Criterion dungeons from xiv. Basically 4-man raids :/

In FFXIV, I had a friend that funded buying a small house thanks to fishing. She was only level 50/60.
