A $2000 computer is great for games, and with Gamepass and an xbox controller it is effectively an Xbox minus some legacy 360 titles. Only reason to get a playstation is for a few exclusives that will end up on PC after a few years anyway.

plus Epic Store giveaways and cheap Steam sales on some of the older games that are must plays, it's cheap as gently caress to game nowadays. Plus Path of Exile, Destiny 2 and a few others are pretty decent free-to-play games

OP, the current Nintendo system is called a Switch, it's like a super fancy game boy that can hook up to your tv. You can use it on the go because it has a tiny screen.

Anyway one of the most celebrated games for the Switch is the Zelda game from 2017, Breath of the Wild. It's known for being a large world you can explore as you please, you can fly through the sky and take things at your own pace. You start off with almost nothing in the middle of the map, and you can choose to fight Ganon right then with a stick and just 3 hearts, or you can explore to get stronger. You have the freedom to proceed how you like.

The sequel, Tears of the Kingdom, was just released May 12 and people are going nuts for it. It's wholesome and engaging.

Anyway my rec is you should pick up a Switch and both/either Zelda games.

i love food, but i'm just now discovering what it can really be like. someone posted some really good links to food books and youtubes that i've been looking at. i will be checking out the food subsections here too.

the first thing i had when i got out was burger king and i couldn't even eat it, it was so salty. i just wanted a real hamburger but i know bk isn't the right choice for that but it was the only thing around.

if you want to see true horror do a google for 'nutraloaf'

it is now banned in a lot of prisons but we had it. it was usually only given to solitary inmates and as a punishment. but my prison was poor in a poor state with lots of poor people in it so i think we probably had more of it than most others.

dietary restrictions were routinely ignored

I first skipped the thread thinking I'm not gonna waste my time with another gimmick but if that's what this is it's good in my books and if this is real, which btw after 10 pages I'm more than half ready to accept it is, then I gotta say you seem cool and I like how you set boundaries on some subjects in a natural way with no needless apologies or defending of your position.

A lot lot LOT of American food places salt the poo poo out of their food, use too much butter, and throw in a bunch of sugar. This is because these ingredients are cheap and make your brain happy, and the people selling you the fast food only care that you come back and eat their food forever until you die of a related disease. You have a huge leg up on being healthy compared to most Americans if fast food is already gross to you. I wish i could stop loving taco bell.

sideways jim, one of the only decent guards, said something about this once. he said it was whichever group had the most money inside and most influence on the outside. since the whites were the majority they had more money and they got the best treatment. by more money i mean funds directly available to the inmates from their jobs or sent to them from the outside.
i imagine in other places it would be a different group. but also i think in a vacuum it would still be the whites because you know, white people. over the years we sometimes had more black guards in my section but they still showed preference to the white cons. the asians were treated the worst.

I learned about nutraloaf from a previous ex-con goon called Hiding For Goro, who did time in Leavenworth, the Federal Military pen because he was selling A LOT of party drugs while deployed in Hawaii. Nutraloaf is vile poo poo.

There was another ex-con goon who also did Federal time, but she was convicted of wire fraud and bank fraud for passing large bad checks in different states, hence the Federal charges. She only did like 16 months, but it was interesting to see what women's prison is like.
