I went to my dad’s office a few times as a kid. Never as a take your kid to work day, but he was a network admin.

I basically just played on my Gameboy trying to beat the latest Pokémon or he let me play Brick Breaker on his phone.

He showed me the server room and I thought it was noisy and cold, but cool.

Way of Kings is honestly a more like a prequel for the series. It’s pretty much ONLY setting up the characters and world building. So if you don’t get into that you might not finish.

Axehounds, Parshendi, chulls, chasmfiends, songlings, rockbuds, etc.

Oh and the generic “cremling”

You guys should read the Stormlight archives. Fuckin everything is a crab, even the plants.

They are. But Sanitation workers wouldn’t be emptying any of these bins in my experience as a guy who lives in the US.

You can fully skip episode 4, if it matters at all. The first two episodes are pretty strong but after that it kind of rambles a bit until around episode 6 or so.

Watch until episode 9 at least.

“You exist because we allow it, and you will end because we demand it.”

Probably why he is suing for damages now instead of access.

Kakashi from Naruto

Gojo from Jujutsu Kaisen

Those are the two biggest thirst traps I know of.

Glad it’s not just me then.

Wait does magical darkness not block anything like line of site?

This was such a good one shot from Fujimoto. Hopefully this will be available to western audiences soon too!

This looks really cost affordable and efficient, but I’m not sure my wife will go for the DIY aesthetic.

You’re getting a recency bias, but I watched Akudama Drive about a month ago and really loved it.

Yeah absolutely clicked on this to spout my spiel about Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann. It’s my favorite anime ever.

Neon Genesis Evangelion is up there too, but I like TTGL more.

What if you like your family more than your job? Hustle and bustle of the work/school week (even an enjoyable one) makes it incredibly hard for me to spend time with my family outside of weekends.

I did some Mario Kart and a some of Pokémon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum online battles.

But I generally liked single player games as opposed to party games.

The only one that I know that really gets compared to BoTW is Genshin Impact.

Which, it kind of is in terms of exploration. They even added Korok seeds in their 3.0 update.

The big bad enemies are also ancient robots that can be terrifying when you’re low level too.

This game came out the tail end of 2020. It also has a very similar color palette to BotW in some areas. Especially the main “Castle Town” zone.

You can also buy them online for cheap and in semi-bulk last time I checked
