I own and use a FlexiSpot L shaped desk (bamboo top). It’s super sturdy and I love it. I can completely understand your hesitancy because I was wary as well. Took the risk anyways after also watching some videos and it worked out good regardless. I would recommend having a buddy help you out when setting it up since they’re a bit heavy, but it you’re well off fit it should be okay.
If you haven’t read or watched it already, Hellsing.
I love DhD immensely and got the same joy from it as when I first read Hellsing many, many years ago.
Absolutely loved this show, I watched it religiously in the morning before going to school as a kid. So yeah, I would say pretty formative!
Mexican upbringing here, it is most definitely a “Whitey” thing.
If it was going to be anything like how the Artemis Fowl movie ended up being, y’all dodged a huge bullet. I’m still sad about AF.
The original two Max Payne games are lovely and a favorite of mine to replay every few years or so, personally. They are very straight forward shooters though and can be a little hard at times, but extremely fun.
If you enjoy Sam’s writing, you’d very much enjoy Max Payne 1+2. Experience where it started, as it were.
This version of Tetris likely has my most amount of hours on it as well, I played so much of it on my DS back in the day. Absolutely fantastic.
My runner up in terms of hours is probably Puyo Tetris.
Just a minor correction as I live in the area as well, Spring is the closest direct suburb of Houston which is anything but small town. Not excusing it of associated problems of being a relatively affluent/gentrified area in Texas, of course.
Reading through this thread, this guy is nuts though. That’s a special brand of crazy.
I have a soft spot for Twist as well, it’s a delightful little gimmick for Bejeweled. The music in that game specifically is surprisingly catchy, too.
The price is a very fair point.
I will say I was skeptical as well with Dylan as the MC but this game is very specifically an intimate experience with them building up Dylan as a character and someone to care about coming out from the first Control. I think it would be worth a try once it goes on sale to a price you are comfy with.
