At leasz you put it near your head if you have to 🙏

80% agree. If it's a brief exchange I'd also have if the other person was standing next to me, I don't mind. Full on private conversations? No, I'm not the one.

You'd have to hold a gun to my mother's head for me to take a call on speaker phone in public... 🤐

Personally I blame phone manufacturers removing the headphone jacks for contributing to this epidemic of lost shame...

Am I the only one who thinks talking on speaker phone in public is insane?????

What a finale for Sunday, I finally cleared my first run in Hades II! 🎉 I have zero shame in admitting I'm playing on god mode, because this was/is still challenging and super fun to me.

Aaaand as with the first Hades, this is where the REAL game begins. 😈 But yeah, we knew this already. Onwards!

Oh yeah, the tattoo itches... Is the swelling at least manageable? Can be a b*itch on leg tattoos.

Sunday Morning Setup 🎮🍲

I followed through - made some brokkoli cheddar soup (which turned out purple because of a single carrot), now the rest of the day can be dedicated to coffee, tea & diving deeper & deeper into Hades II. 25 hours in & I still find new mechanics opening up, this is amazing.

I wanted to post something for Caturday but Tifa is nowhere to be found, huh.

So you have two things to look forward to now 😅
Jk, vacation sounds great, just a shame about the wallet

Getting back into good habits after a week of vacation can be tough, esp since I brought leftovers for several days. But it turns out going back to the gym + cooking + calorie counting with my own groceries now doesn't feel like a chore but like getting back some control, so I'm actually... fine. 😮‍💨

I also usually take longer than the site says, but I can't complain because I'm also not posting my own times there to improve the statistical dataset 😅

Made it to Chronos for the first time in my Hades 2 run! About 15h of playtime so far. Expectedly got my ass handed to me, but progress is progress. Respect to everyone who beats this whole game in 20 hours or so. I'm clearly not on that level but I'm enjoying the hell (lol) out of my time (lol).

Those replies are making me emotional. 😭

For me it's not even a "peak" game, just randomly Planet Zoo. In 2022 I visited an old friend who I hadn't seen since before Covid. And I remember how happy I felt sitting on her couch in the morning, playing a bit before heading out into town with her.

Do you ever remember WHEN and WHERE you played a game more than the actual game? Like you remember the place you were at (either physically or emotionally) and that's what matters to you, not the game being a masterpiece?

Japan, cherry blossoms, the anxiety of being called home, and Covid in general - that's a wild combination of things you now always connect with Animal Crossing wow!
