I'd also add:
- Zero speculation at how long the outcome lasts
- Far less stressful finding an outfit / suit
- No bouquet throw, tho I might ask for that at mine 😂

I score weddings and funerals on a scale of 1 to 5 stars. Funerals always score more highly. They're cheap, you get time off work, there's free food, and you don't have to buy a present. You get to meet all the same people as at weddings and there's no shitty disco.

So the latest review is up and this one is pretty wild, a fair shmup that lots of people have nice things to say about, except the original Japanese release had a couple of really deranged 2 player mode story arcs... Gunbird has a nasty secret... youtu.be/kc3iOkTe_Bo #retrogaming #playstation

My old habit used to be:
One that was nearly finished.
One that I was really getting into, and
One that was waiting to be read next (though i'd already read the first chapter and if it was good enough it could jump the queue!) 😂🤦🏻♂️

I buy a ton of books because I'm not good at predicting what I'll want to read next, and I like to have options.

I recently started building a PC for my youngest. I realised that I haven't built a new one since 2006.
Gave up upgrading the old one around 2012.
One of my kids bought a 2nd hand one for me five years ago and so the guts of that are 10yrs old 🤦🏻♂️😂

People say there has never been a truly perfect Star Wars experience and that's how you know they never played the Ladder Map in Jedi Outcast.
Yes, it is scored to Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up, and the song starts when you ignite your lightsaber and begin to move.
