This month I will try to complete two games again, one already in progress as well as start a new one. I found that bouncing between two games actually made playing more enjoyable. The game I will try to complete is Control. The new game I will start is Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness and the Secret Hideout. I will still be playing Monster Hunter World on and off I think as well.
This month I was able to complete Code Vein and the main story of Monster Hunter World.
I started Code Vein a while ago and have been playing it on and off. It is a fun anime dark souls like with pretty fun and also very difficult game play. They story was actually enjoyable to me. Some of the music in this game was very top tier, especially the one that played during flash backs for me. Gear and skill progression was fine. Some of the in game descriptions of skills were not helpful and I had to look elsewhere to find out what it actually did or meant. I would say overall I would recommend this game if you like either a challenge or cliche but good anime type stories.
Monster Hunter world I started at the beginning of this month and beat the main story pretty quickly. I had tried first Monster Hunter Generations on the Switch and hated it and thought this series was not for me. Enter World and something about it just clicked for me and I couldn't stop playing.I honestly only stopped playing so I could finish Code Vein and will be jumping back in weekly to do some kind of hunt.

This month I have started playing Monster Hunter World with my brothers and am aiming to finish Code Vein. I have made progress in both and hope to have both completed by the end of the month.
In the month of September I finished Hi-Fi Rush. It had been in my radar for a while and decided to just take a stab at it. It had all right right genres ticked for me. Action, music, combo scores and a story that was fun and lighthearted. I will come back to it now and then to do the challenges I think.
I dropped The First Descendant. It was fun jumping on board when it released, but the fact that it is so grindy and the story drips are so few it's hard to keep up unless it is my dedicated game. I don't want to stick to just one game forever and can't really find the time to keep playing it as well as beating other games.

I finished The Vagrant on the Steam Deck. It is a 2d action RPG. I was able to beat it in about 11 hours and there is a new game plus that ups the difficulty. I probably won't do that and will be moving on to the next game. The story was light, but enjoyable. The music was good. The combat mechanics was fun. The inventory was okay.
Not sure what I will start or finish next. Still been keeping up with The First Descendant. It's a grind, but it's still casually playable.

I just finished the main campaign of The First Descendant on a mix of Gaming PC and Steam Deck. I enjoyed playing it as Free to Play and spent about 50 hours playing through it.
Starting with the good: The game play of shooting and using skills was fun. They story itself was okay, but I still enjoyed it as comfort gaming. I see myself playing it on and off to do whatever story expansions there are for now. I haven't dug to deep into the grind but it seemed okay from my own experience. I'm pretty patient waiting for things and I will probably grind a for few characters when I just want to turn off my brain.
The bad: I am not sure if it is resolved yet, but damn I had so many disconnects at the worst time that I just stopped playing the game for the night and did something else. I feel the movement could be improved, just giving unlimited grappling shots would make it vastly more fun. Even though I played Warframe years ago I remember enjoying the movement much more in that game. The music is kind of forgettable I suppose as well.
Other thoughts, playing this game made me want to just Warframe, but the fact that I first played the game many years after release, and then only for a few months. Jumping back into it seems daunting and I would no doubt be loss. So maybe not.

I would say unless you always want to do troubleshooting for this friend just stick him with windows. At some point it is up to the individual to be able to troubleshoot these issues using the Internet as the resource, but a lot of people just don't want to mess with that. My own time is too limited to be on call for people.

Check out antiperspirant for your feet. The issue might be related to your feet sweating and creating dampness in your shoe your whole shift. Also ideally have two pairs of shoes to alternate for work.

Oldest one I boot up regularly is Super Mario World I would say. On a less frequent occasion I do also play Tecmo's Deception (PS1). I do like going back to Gradius for the SNES as well.
Contra and Contra 2 are fun, but very challenging games I will occasionally bust out.
PC gaming wise I have been playing City of Heroes and Diablo 1.
Oooo I forgot this was airing...going to have to pick it up. Thanks for the post.
Yes I have. I switch between older AAA and current indie games. I have tried some recent AAA games as well. I play anything I want at the time I want to play something.

I have a pair of indoor crocs only. It is great on non carpeted floors. Mine are white to make it easy to differentiate from my outdoor crocs.
Here ya go mate:
Thanks for the reply. I see the request has been posted by someone else and has been acknowledged/tagged. I guess it is just waiting for the feature to be implemented now.
How do I make my community text only?
I am creating a community that would be text only and not sure how to go about changing this setting.
Maybe I should branch out with my food choices. It has always been some kind of prepared meat over rice.
For me it was "The Last Samurai" and Return of the King"
