I was REALLY patient for this one but: Silent Hill (ps1). I tried to play it last year, ran into the creature in the alley at the very very start and immediately turned it off. Too spoopy for me. Finally decided to try again because the Silent Hill lore is just way too fascinating. Have made it through a lot farther this time (just passed the dog house now) and still going strong.

I work 8-4 with a paid lunch and I’m hourly. Don’t think it was like this at previous jobs though

Congrats guys

I use a sbc device with emulators now a days. It’s the perfect “pick up and put down” situation for me. I’d really recommend looking into it especially for quality of life things like save states and being able to pick up where you left off exactly.

As for deciding what platforms to play, my biggest advice is looking at how many buttons a controller has. I don’t see people talk about this a lot, but when I’m looking to play a simple game, my first thought is “how many buttons do I feel like using?”

With this thought in my mind I’ve been gravitating towards things like GBA, SNES, N64, and when I want something a little more complex, Ps1 or Dreamcast.

Custom Robo for N64. Cute little 3d shooter where you have a robot made of 5 customizable parts that you can mix and match to build the strongest robot and be the greatest “robo commander”. I think people say the idea was a “sci-fi collectible game loosely similar to pokemon”.

I know it’s late but posting for content.

Excuse me, my 783 loose bookmarks and I would like to have a word.

Oh man I understand your pain brother. Have the same issue but I got “lucky” and was forced out of it. Was in a situation where I had to piss/shit in a public bathroom for 4+ years. Still happens sometimes when I’m in unfamiliar places and there’s more than 1 other person in there. Don’t know what it is about the anxiety man. Just feels impossible sometimes.

I’m a lurker naturally but I’m invested in growing the community here so I’m trying to post and comment like crazy
