  • Not related, but OP, if you get the chance I recommend at least trying out Project Wingman in VR with joysticks.

    Holy shit, was it a transcendent experience.

    I beat the campaign with a controller on a monitor my first time around, but on my second playthrough I played it in VR and I found there is nothing like looking for bogeys and tracking them by peeking around your cockpit.


    More related to the prompt, but if anyone wants a recommend:

    I just beat both Pentiment and Return of the Obra Dinn and both were truly the historical detective / mystery games that I’ve waited so long for.

    Go into both completely blind and report back. I guarantee you, that you will not be disappointed.



  • Haha I actually brought this up in my comment to OP, but do you find that you have this clogged nose in hotels or other places?

    If not, and you notice it just at home you may be allergic to dust mites.

    I bought dust mite bed covers, pillow covers, and spray and applied them after washing my original bed sheets and pillow covers.

    Immediately that day I stopped having a clogged nose in bed.

    I’d been suffering all my life thinking it was normal to have a clogged nose in bed lol, turns out I had an allergy.


  • I recommend getting both the anti-dustmite sheets and pillow covers as well as the spray!

    A combination of all 3 legit stopped giving me a clogged nose at night immediately.

    Edit:

    Initial steps I put in the other comment:

    My initial steps I took were:

    • taking bed sheets and pillow covers to the washing machine

    • applying anti-dustmite cover to mattress

    • applying anti-dustmite cover to pillows

    • putting bed sheets and pillow covers over the anti-dustmite covers

    • spraying the anti-dustmite spray over and letting dry


  • Anti-dustmite spray helps kill a good amount! I was actually impressed with how fast it worked.

    That and getting dust mite sheet covers for both your mattress and pillows is effective and over time will kill them off.

    My initial steps I took were:

    • taking bed sheets and pillow covers to the washing machine

    • applying anti-dustmite cover to mattress

    • applying anti-dustmite cover to pillows

    • putting bed sheets and pillow covers over the anti-dustmite covers

    • spraying the anti-dustmite spray over and letting dry

    Immediately noticed the difference and stopped getting a clogged nose in bed that day



  • This is actually common in many other cultures and I wish it was more normalized in general US culture.

    That being friendships where there is no need for a reason to hang out besides the company.

    I live in NYC and I have some select friends who also grew up culturally outside the US and we do this:

    If I asked them what they were up to, they’d say something like “going to the barbershop for a haircut”, “doing laundry at the laundromat”, or other errands.

    I would then ask to tag along and maybe say a thing or two from time to time, but for the most part I’m doing something parallel to them.

    Usually I’m reading a book, checking my phone, watching Netflix, working on my laptop etc.

    It’s great.

    There’s no need for an excuse to be with these friends.

    We just enjoy each other’s company.
