Married with kids, mainly interested in gaming.
I have similar feelings and I was raised in a very controlling home. It took me years to realize the environment I grew up in wasn’t healthy, because that was my “normal”. It could be the same for you, but only you and/or a mental health professional could say for sure.
In The Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale, starring Jason Statham and Ron Perlman. I saw it in theaters. When the evil army started loading their ninja turtle orcs into the catapults, setting them on fire, and launching them over Definitely-Not-Helm’s-Deep, the audience started cracking up and openly making fun of it. It was a terrible movie.
This is the only movie series that legitimately made me mad. The book seemed so simple to adapt to the screen. Just follow the book, with a little cut out to help with screen time, and watch the money roll in. Instead, we got one of the worst book adaptations Hollywood’s ever seen.
A few months ago, I was outside blowing bubbles with my 4 year old. She moved on to something else, but I kept it up for a while. I forgot how fun it is to watch them fly off and see how far they go!
It’ll be interesting to see if Meta can convert enough users to Threads for it to be a lasting platform. As much as I don’t like Meta, they’re in the best position to take over this social space with the most resources to do it. Especially while Twitter is laughably bad right now.
I miss the specific game subs, like Elden Ring, Satisfactory, Hades, etc. I don’t think we have the population yet to have subs like these with lots of content posted each day.
