@NEStalgia
Thank you for the compliment. 😀
But my gaming policy is still Strict as always.
Zero tolerance against rated 18+ games whatsoever reasons because i only want to play with kiddie,
cute, beautiful and nice looking games without something insulting and gritty.
Even my bedroom and gameshelf is pretty kiddie and colorful like kid's bedroom.
And Keanu's cool in my book. Some of his movies are hit and miss, but ever since the John Wick movies, he's certainly back, and not just because he himself thinks he is...

@ThanosReXXX Yeah, that's the one, I couldn't recall the name. It's not a game for me, probably, just because horror isn't for me, but as far as horror games go, that one, like Dishonored, has my curiosity piqued. I wouldn't buy it, but if it showed up on Game Pass I'd definitely give it a go. Very unique premise.
He's kind of meta, and in that way, likable, I like Matrix in spite of him.....but it's still all cringe in general for me whenever I see or hear him. I think I like him as a person more than as an actor though. And memories of Speed never, ever go away....
@Anti-Matter That's certainly a fair choice for your own purchasing. But E3 shows are casting a broad net for everyone. There's you, there's kids, there's "the Wii market", there's the angsty 16 year old that dresses in black and only accepts death imagery....it's a show showcasing the products they make for everyone..so they're all on display.
Trust me, I could most definitely have done without seeing Resident Evil and TLoU2 at Sony's last two shows......
@Anti-Matter
Appreciate your opinion, I may pick up one next time there is a good sale. I know Nintendo is selling the refurbished 2DS for $100, but might wait for a similar price with a bundle before I bite.
@Not-Geno That translator is not really helping, seeing as it doesn't translate Wingdings back into text...
Here's a crazy idea:
Why not just type actual text, so people might now what you're trying to say the first time around, instead of them having to do stuff they don't want to do, to find out.

Ubisoft is giving away a free copy of Rayman Origins to anyone who watches their twitch feed for 30 minutes or more. You need to link your twitch account to a Ubisoft Uplay Account. It starts in 20 minutes and 1:30 Eastern Time Zone. All the information is in an article from June 4th at Gameinformer.com.
@Octane I didn't forget. I didn't know it existed at all! That's encouraging, I'll have to go find that. Then again, why is it behind closed doors now?
@BacklogBlues Cool promo...but....I'm not sure I'd link anything to a UPlay account no matter what is free....
@NEStalgia That's what they did last year as well. Press only at E3, and public demo at Gamescom. There was a hidden Dropbox link in their presentation from yesterday that contained a thank you message and them explaining why the public won't get to see the demo until Gamescom (them being Europe based may have something to do with that as well). But it was also to build up hype. Every major gaming website is present at E3, so it makes sense to show it there, along with a more cinematic trailer. And Gamescom is where the public is; but people will have something to look forward to since every gaming news site will be talking about it. I dunno, they're pretty transparent about it, and they said that they think this is the best way to gain the most publicity.
My mother bought a little bottle of eucalyptus essential oil at the pharmacy, mostly because the oils are a novelty there, so I bought a small cheap humidifier to try mixing some drops of oil in the water...
But apparently that's bad for humidifiers?
Anyone here has any experience with these things? The humidifier is small and cute, I'd hate ruining it so quickly.
@Morpheel - I actually did some internet research on the topic because I wanted to put eucalyptus oil in my cpap machine, which is basically a humidifier. The manufacturers say to not put essential oils in the machines as the oil doesn’t evaporate like water. It can leave scum in the reservoir, and it can also be pulled through the machine and gunk up the mechanicals. I also read a lot of people who said they put it directly in the reservoir and haven’t had a problem. Other people said it ruined their machines.
If the humidifier is expensive or special to you, I would advise against it. Try putting the oil on a small dish, or a cotton ball, and then place it near the intake. That works really well for me. It does eventually evaporate sitting out in the open, but the effects last a while. I recently switched from eucalyptus to a blend by Doterra called breathe. It’s basically eucalyptus with mint in it.
@Bimmy-lee: Thanks for your input! It’s my first humidifier. Cheap one, but quite nice.
I mixed some oil into the water before reading about it, so we’ll see how it does. The humidifier actually comes with a circular slot around the nozzle (?) where you’re supposed to place an scented ring that came with it.
I didn’t use the ring because it’s only one, and I wanted to test the oil. Maybe it would better to use that slot in the future.
On a tangent, I was so mystified playing with the humidifier, trapping the mist in a wine glass, looking at the cool effect... That I went and dropped one of the glasses and now there’s sharp bits on the floor. My foot has been stabbed.
