I’m older so probably not in the demographic. I had a PS4 and liked it. My only complaint was paying for online service. But getting “free” games with the service, okay sure. Lol, you can play some games without PS+. I found this out playing rocket League, yay?
I thought about getting a PS5, but I’m not down with the whole rat race vibe. Paying more then retail seems silly. Resellers, nope. After 3 years the luster of having a new console is over. I’m fine with Steam.
Some of the larger cities around here have been dealing with the opioid crisis and homelessness. It’s not uncommon to see needles or human fences on sidewalks. Able families are going to move. Plus housing is super expensive.
I always feeling like a weirdo when just ordered a small coffee. Pro-tip: it’s better getting coffee at a bakery because their danishes didn’t come from plastic bags.
