My wife and oldest kid keep watching hours and hours of Korean soaps. So, we also had to upgrade to unlimited data caps.

Good so far. But, I haven't had much time for games over the past couple of months.

I did assemble a cheap i5-8600 PC and replaced my old car with a new one.

It's not dying where I am. For one thing, malls are a cheap way to cool off when it's +110F outside. Plus, there are only two real malls: one at the north side of the city, the other to the south.

Let them be. Their posts show how idiotic they are.

The STALKER games handled alcohol pretty well. It's also a cheap way to handle radiation poisoning.

A lot of the other stuff suggested here have already been done in the STALKER games.

Games where I'm happy to just look and walk around, interacting with the game world and not caring about the game objectives. It just so happens all are open-world games.

Although, my family have smartphones, I don't have one yet. I've done okay without one.

Being a navy brat, I've traveled and lived in many countries. I've also been to many shitholes I don't care to visit again. Where I live now is somewhat okay. But, I prefer to live once more at Lake Tahoe.

If there's any place where I want to spend my vacation (again)? Antalya, Turkey. I love vacationing there.

Whatever classification they used to be, they're "Dad Rock" now. Oldies to the younger set.

How about getting rid of all these idiot (aka safety) devices on new cars? Anyone with decent driving habits don't need them.

While on the subject of cars, I want to get rid of the new gas mileage laws that were enacted within the last 10 years. During the previous decade, I can buy a decent V6 midsize sedan for $25k or less. Now? It starts in the upper $30k and more frequently, well past $40k. These new laws have pushed V6 car prices into the realm of luxury brands. In their place at the $25k range, we get turbo 4-cylinder cars that either burst into flame (Hyundai/Kia) or, defective (Honda 1.5T). The quest for better gas mileage also have resulted in crap CVT (aka disposable transmissions). Lots of lemons and potential lemons. I certainly wouldn't buy a used car that has a turbo or CVT.

Turbos were very popular back in the 90's. But, as that decade ended, market forces began the switch back to naturally aspirated cars because of better durability. Then, the turbo cars made a comeback this decade. But, it's not the result of market forces. It's the result of those new laws. Screw those new laws.
