Aside from Spiderman and RDR2, what else should I look at as far as exclusives?

God of War and Horizon: Zero Dawn are what I have next on my list.

RDR2 isn’t an exclusive but is really good.

God of War and Horizon Zero Dawn are both better than RDR2, IMO.

Spider-Man and Uncharted 4 are worth your time.

Last of Us and Shadow of the Colossus remasters if you haven’t played them or have and loved them.

Demo or rent it first, it's a good game but remember that it's a good game in a very specific genre that honestly doesn't deserve the blanket recommendation it always gets

That's true. It's a very specific experience that reasonable people can totally hate. That said I loved Bloodbourne and the Dark Souls games always felt like boring torture to me.

It's crazy cheap now. I think ps+ gave it away as well.

If you liked any of the Souls games it's a must have, but I will agree that it may not be for everyone. Probably the most accessible of the entire series too.

I mean it’s only $20 and one of the best games on the console. That’s a fair risk in my opinion and I’m saying this as someone who has yet to beat the game while still including it in my top 10 games ever list.

I know it’s technically not the question being asked, but both Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey are worth the price of admission for a switch. If literally zero other good games come out for the switch, I’m completely content with the console purchase just for either one of those games.

On topic, Middle Earth Shadow of Mordor/Shadow of War and Doom are also both :krad:

So I just got myself a Pixel 2 and I'm trying to find a case for it. Something sub-$20 and somewhat protective while not being too thick. I was thinking a TPU case but I'm concerned it won't be enough protection if I fumble it as I have been known to do to phones.

I had a pixel 2 with something like this and it did alright, I have had good results with Spigen:

And always like their 2-piece models though they make the phone significantly larger; they have an integrated kickstand and really bubbly corner protection:

I'm looking for a PC Microphone that I can mount to my desk. My headset mic broke and I don't really feel like getting an entire new headset.

Something that I can move around (Arm mount?) but with decent area noise cancelling. No idea how much something like that would cost.

Something like this? Not sure on the quality though.

Hey! I have that mic.

It's trash. For a condenser mic like it, you NEED the 48v phantom power box. By itself, you have to turn the gain up so loving high that it's useless. But even with phantom power, it's still low volume. I opened it up and inside I noted the mic element was mounted backwards, so the logo would have to face away from you for it to pick up, so I fixed that but still. It's total garbage.

Get yourself a USB microphone, or a real branded condenser mic with phantom power, and skip the hassle of returning that neewer.

It's called rock candy and it's super popular here in Australia (and possibly the UK since their sweets influence ours so much?) so you could almost certainly find an australian shop to ship it to you.

I stayed in a hotel for work the other day and had the best nights sleep I’ve had in years. It seemed like the mattress had sort of a pillow top so I’m starting with making my foam mattress a little softer on top. Any recommendations for soft mattress toppers?

I’m looking for a new thin bifold wallet. I’m not so crazy minimal that I want money clipped on the outside or anything, just a simple one that holds a few cards as well.

I’d also love to have a color that makes it easy to spot and a material that isn’t so slick that it wants to fall out of my pocket. I used to have a Big Skinny but I don’t like how slippery it was.

Devour a good book.


The person who runs philswallets.com is a goon who makes bifolds in small batches. I have a slim from him -- on my second after the first got stolen -- and it's soft but not shiny or slick and I expect anything else he makes to be similar. If I weren't on my phone I'd see if he still has a thread in SA Mart.

My go to is the Slimfold Micro Softshell: Link

Have yet to find a bifold that is slimmer and not made of Tyvek. Potential issues for you would be colors (black, grey, blue) and slipperiness (I do not find it slippery, but not sure what you consider slippery)

Is there anything wrong with Men's Wearhouse in particular? Also Suit Supply looks a bit over what I'm willing to spend. I have a wedding in June and then after that I probably wear a suit once every other year.

The issue is I need something made to fit because my body is weirdly shaped. Which drives up the price. I have a 48 inch chest, 34 inch waist, and huge butt/quads. Makes any kind of conventional sized clothing fit terribly.
