Okay I've mucked about with Two Point Campus and I really like it - it seems to solve the core problem of Hospital in that the trick to that game was to ignore amenities and comfort and all of that in favour of establishing the most optimal diagnosis-to-treatment conveyor belt possible. The fact that you get students at the start of the year and they are around for the academic year no matter what means you do have to work the scenario puzzle.

what do u do when yuo're born to play fps? guess there's nothing left to do but play fps. boom headshot
yeah I liked TPH at first but it quickly devolved into just plopping a million 3x2 dungeons to serve as doctors offices with a labyrinth of benches to guide patients to where they needed to go. maybe I'll check out Campus

I just made a separate campus building that has nothing but food stands, drinks, games and a bunch of sofas to lounge on. It's great and it's a very popular spot.

I’ve played my Xbox Series X for like two hours in the two months since I’ve had it because I have a newborn. Not winning currently.

Get the kid their own controller and kick their rear end at couch pvp games, and enjoy it while it lasts!

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."

Quick Resume was made for newborns. You should play games that let you enjoy them in 2 minute chunks, like THPS1+2 for example.

I know exactly where you're coming from. I have to do dailies in an mmo and Fall Guys every day. It's not a baby but it's the same level of constant obligation!

Set it on a hard surface. I never have any issues with setting it in my coffee table, but something soft like the couch will hit the paddles.

I am really hoping that hits gamepass after the acquisition, I want to be able to play it on both xbox and pc.

Also any good alternatives to the elite controller? Are Scuf ones decent?

Seems like costco has pretty good prices on the elite fairly often might just get one for use on both pc and xbox.

The first 6 months the baby doesnt move at all its prime gaming time you are blowing this. Wait until you have to actually watch it and chase it so it doesnt get hurt thats when gaming dies

The worst part is when they get big enough to want to come see what you’re doing just when you think you have some gaming time to yourself.

Although it’s not really bad and is fun to watch them fumble around in fall guys or whatever.

The worst part will be when they don’t want anything to do with their lame uncool dad but not there yet!!

Our youngest was a difficult sleeper and when I had baby duty, I just circled the coffee table for hours, with baby in a carrier on my chest and either watching Attack on Titan or playing REZ on my Xbox.

Getting into the various survival games on game pass and trying out Ark and Conan Exiles.. Pretty ridiculous amount of gaming available on GamePass, always impressed.

Also gonna try cooking simulator!

I was thinking about getting spider man for PC but with all this stuff I really don't need to get that at least not until it hits a decent sale on Steam.

Spiderman is fine idk. Its all first impression and 12 hours later its still basically just an arkham clone with a day night cycle and im giving it an 8.5 but my heart knows its an 8

It's absolutely Arkham with a more fluid movement system. Just zipping around the city in Spider-Man is fun. The story is ehhhhh and I didn’t love it enough to finish it or bother turning on the jet engine I call a ps4 to continue playing it.

My heart pumps blood instead of hurthling's icewater so the insanely good web swinging kept me engaged for however long it took me to nearly 100% the game. The combat is definitely Arkham but it's better than the Arkham games imo. Faster and more fluid and it's got aerial raves. Also doing my part to fight misinformation online: Spider-Man doesn't have a day/night cycle, rather fixed times-of-day that get advanced by the plot. It's a big reason it looks so good, lots of accurate baked lighting

One of the bigger strengths of the Arkham games is that they didn't institute a day/night cycle and instead focused on looking appropriately thematic

Spider-Man has always been my favorite superhero just because he's the friendly neighborhood wall crawler.

That said I agree that both the PS4 games are good but not great. They kind of show their hands in the first 4 hours. The Miles one is fun and adds invisibility and elemental damage.

Its better cause its shorter, has more moves that help you blast through the stealth, and they dont make you play as any non spider people

In boyfriend dungeon do you eventually find err meet a 2-handed/heavy weapon? Also lol i think i’ve already deduced who the stalker character is that the opening text warned about

The dude at the mansion is a scythe, you can meet him almost right away. but the best weapon is a lightsaber imo. Of course it's really late in the game.

Who it isn't the twist so much as the game trying to make you feel bad for not returning his advances
