  • Am Canadian, can confirm. Can’t exactly compare to American prices since I’m not American and also haven’t visited in years, but it is very expensive to live here, at least in any medium or large city. Smaller towns aren’t too bad for housing costs, but then grocery and gas prices go up. There’s places that are reasonable in certain aspects but then they’re very expensive in others. I’ve got family all across the country, literally coast to coast and north to south. West coast of BC to east coast of Newfoundland, northern stretches of Iqaluit to southern tip of Ontario and everywhere in between, and no one has a low cost of living all around. I’m sure there’s places cheaper than something like NYC or LA or something but overall I’d guess Canada is probably more expensive than most of the US.

  • I’d definitely recommend checking out Emerald and either Crystal or HGSS before dropping the series, if you’re willing to do two more games. Those are the highlights of the series for sure, in my opinion.

  • I haven’t played it before but I have heard of it, I think it’s on my wishlist too. I didn’t know you can play it calmly though, that’s neat.

  • I love Pokémon Gen 1, I’m always hesitant to recommend them but I’m glad you also like them too. Have you played anything else from the series yet or just Platinum and Yellow?

  • They’re right. Bulk ingredients, and prepared salads and stuff are almost always in big plastic buckets.

  • I played a bit more Evolve this week. I unlocked the rest of the hunters and monsters now. Not really sure what to work towards next, maybe getting legendary skins for everyone. That’ll take a while though.

  • Nice! I’ve been wanting to switch to desktop for years (still on a gaming laptop). Hopefully one day I can do it.

  • There is a bit more story in Inside but it’s still kind of on the back burner a bit. The main allure, at least for me, is the constant “what the fuck is happening here” I’m constantly asking myself whenever I enter a new area. At the end of the day, it’s a short game, it’s cheap to buy, and if you don’t like it you can always refund it on steam. By the time you’re two hours in, you’ll know by that point if you’ll like the rest of the game or not. Or if you’re really good at puzzle platformers you could probably even finish it within the refund window, though I wouldn’t recommend doing that.

  • Maybe, that sounds familiar.

    By the sounds of it, you probably wouldn’t love Inside. You might like it a bit more than Limbo, but it’s got the same things you didn’t like about Limbo, which happen to be the reasons I love both games. The gameplay is basically just a different flavour but it’s quite similar, and it’s also very sparse on story, focusing more on atmosphere and vibes basically, which I actually really like, but it sounds like you don’t.the main focus is definitely on the environment, with everything else sort of on the back burner.

  • What was it about Limbo that didn’t do it for you? I’ve played both many times so I may be able to help more than the person you replied to originally.

  • I’m a huge fan of Inside. Genuinely one of my favourite gaming experiences ever. So good.

    Limbo is really good too if you haven’t played it, but I personally prefer Inside.

  • Another week where I’ve actually had time to play, but not on pc at all this week unfortunately.

    The last few days I’ve been playing Evolve. I recently found a used disc for PS4 and remember really enjoying it back in the day on Xbox (which I no longer have). I’m actually having a blast playing through it on single player again. The DLC is completely inaccessible nowadays unless you already have it unfortunately so I’m stuck with the base 12 hunters and 3 monsters but that’s okay, all my favourites were from the base game anyway. It’s too bad this game wasn’t better received, I used to play it a lot and was very confused when I saw all the negative reviews it had. Maybe it just didn’t click with most people and it did for me, not sure. Or maybe there was drama with it that I didn’t know about. Either way, I’m having a ton of fun with it again. I’ve unlocked all the hunters except Lazarus and Caira (I think that’s her name), and I still have to unlock the other two monsters.

  • Not the person you’ve been talking to, but this part:

    you get in, wait for maybe 30 minutes, get treated and leave

    just seems crazy to me. I think my shortest ever hospital trip was around 4 hours, the average is more like 7-8 hours. I’ve seen as high as 22 hours before though. I’ve never seen the show but I’ve heard it’s one of the most accurate depictions of typical hospital work on tv.

  • What other music do you like?

    These days, mostly rock music, but I also listen to a lot of folk/singer-songwriter too. I know Steely Dan a little bit, and Dire Straits are one of my absolute favourite bands, but I’ll check out Sultana and Chuck Mangione. I’ll also check out Joe Pass and Grand Green too.

    Jazz more than rock is sometimes more oriented around composers than artists

    So like classical then? Because that’s what I grew up listening to, so I know that quite well. I’ll check out some standards and go from there, too. Thanks for the tip.
