    I'll avoid DMing her right away as I could make things awkward for real when they don't deserve to be. But I will definitely try to catch up with her later if she's fine with it.

    You're right I'm thinking through this too much while she might not be thinking about it at all, it isn't worth. Even if she does or did think about it, she knew me for 3 years afterall and would know it's how I am sometimes.

    Also true, the DMs are always an options so I can catch up with her anytime.

    I let my anxiety get the better of me and I didn't acknowledge a former class mate from HS

    Well today I attended a HS graduation ceremony for my siblings, I myself graduated a few years ago from that school, in that ceremony a classmate of mine sat close to where I was so I had a lot of chances to greet her but I didn't, I was always a shy guy with lots of anxiety but damn I wonder if I left a bad impression. I was never really close with girls in my class but still I feel bad, regardless I had a brief DM exchange with this classmate a few months ago so it makes me feel worse. 🫤

    That's great, I'm sure it even made them do better at school as they're probably not as easily distracted by tech.

    I'm 22 years old, not in a relationship and I don't have any kids yet so I'm just asking out of curiosity.

    I've made a bad habit of attaching the word "reddit" to the end of too many of my searches even for questions that I should be looking for their answers in trusted sources instead of taking answers from random redditors the blackout has helped a little with avoiding that.

    I'm a bit bummed that I'll start my Bachelor in CS program before I get to play this, but on the bright side in a few short years when I hopefully get my degree the modding scene for this game would have matured and I would imagine there would be quite a few DLCs out by then too so it's a tradeoff.

    Exactly, which is why I was able to run it reasonably smooth, although it was sluggish at a times probably due to the fact you just mentioned.

    Cities Skylines is often the perfect game for me to just zone out and chill, it surely didn't run on a smooth 60 fps for me on my i7 laptop with no gpu but it performed well enough for me.

    I just like to spend a couple of hours laying new railroads and streets and just expanding my city, be aware though the game can be a timesink if you're not careful.

    I bought a Flip 4 last October. While I liked a lot of stuff about it I was anxious about keeping it as my main driver for the next 3-4 years.

    Aside from the fear of the folding mechanism wearing down heavily over the years, I was disappointed by small quality stuff such as those plastic bumpers at the bottom bezel of the screen that fell off after a few months. Other than that, the battery was small for such a big phone, 3700 mah for a 6.7 inch phone while unfolded, so the battery life wasn't that good, the camera experience was a bit mediocre, there are only two camera lens on the back, none of which are zoom lens just doesn't do it for me. There's also the thing of having to open the phone and close it everytime which was annoying.

    I didn't think I could sell it, especially when the small coverscreen was cracked or scratched (I couldn't tell which at the time) . Anyway, some retail chain offered trade ins for a list of phones including mine, while they didn't offer much for it on paper and in reality, I reckoned there's no other way I could rid of it in it's state and because it's a foldable and people would be wary of buying it used. So I took the hit, lost much of what I paid for it and traded it in for the regular S23.

    As I said I liked so much stuff about it, especially the coverscreen and clutching it while folded felt nice, I also miss the sidekey fingerprint scanner but I regret buying the phone since I was clearly not the target audience, also the technology hasn't yet matured and many of the issues I mentioned may be resolved in future iterations.

    Hence, after all, I should've just waited for the S23 Ultra.

    I think having an app to use this site easily on mobile will obviously be incredibly useful and can help this place grow even further. It may still be too early but if no such app exists so far are there any plans for one? Edit: Guys, looks like Jerboa started acting funny, I keep logging in but the app insists that I'm not logged in. I'm on the mobile site for now until I figure it out.

    I've started MGSV GZ and TPP about two months ago and I've enjoyed them. Earlier I played Sniper Elite (V2, 4 and 5) and I looked for something else that scratched that stealth itch and MGSV was often recommended so I got it.

    I'm almost done with TPP, but there are so many things that I don't understand yet about the characters and their stories which made me eager to learn the story in its entirety, I also want to enjoy the whole series seeing that I've liked it so far so obviously I've started with MGS1, though I only did so yesterday and the last time I was playing a few hours ago I was still (slight spoiler) ::: spoiler spoiler stuck fighting the Psycho Mantis heh. :::
