Adoption always comes with a certain level of trauma that not all people are prepared to help the child work through. There are also a lot of unknowns that come with it that can be challenging, both medically and behaviorally, that are lessened by having a biological child.
Naturally, it’s also much more straightforward to have your own kid if there aren’t fertility issues.
Could it be Knowledge Adventure? I played some of the JumpStart games growing up.
This may just be my device but I have to kill the PWA if I stop using it for around 10+ minutes, else I just get a black screen. Not the biggest problem but a bit annoying because I lose whatever thread I may have been reading.
I recommend giving Plate Up! a look. As good as it is, we also found Overcooked incredibly overwhelming/frustrating. Plate up is much better in that area, we feel. It eases you into the more hectic situations and you actually have agency over the design of the restaurant.
I don’t have much to add except RIP Heroes of the Storm 🥲
I go in cycles. Most of the time I prefer highly replayable games that I can sink my teeth into over a long period. Deep Rock Galactic, Monster Hunter, Grim Dawn, etc. Then I’ll dip into some shorter experiences for a little while. I have a hard time sticking those games out until the end most of the time. I guess I just dont like endings. It’s not a problem I have with any other media, though. Quite the opposite, in fact.
Powerwash Simulator is perfect for this.
Sony buying everything is just as much a problem as MS doing it. I think the main difference is that they’ve stayed under the radar by doing smaller purchases, but I want someone to push the brakes on them equally as much.
Slightly pains me to say that this is a good thing. As much as I hate what’s happened to Blizzard but especially Crash and Spyro, monopolies are only going to end up making things so much worse.
It’s admittedly gotten a lot of shout outs with Diablo’s release, but Grim Dawn. Just a super great old school ARPG with a fun multi class system. I think I made a mistake by letting it be one of the first in the genre I really got into, so it’s kinda tough to find another one that competes.
I got a decent ways into it and need to go back sometime soon. The puzzles and exploration (basically still a puzzle) are super daunting sometimes, but along with the story are really great.
Credit where it’s due, Bluetooth headphones have come a long way. I like the ones I have now. That said, removing the jack and micro SD slots was extremely anti consumer and they should come back.
