You may be tired all the time cause you be getting stoned... idk. I used to smoke all day and felt the same way... the clarity and energy that came with getting clean after 8 eight years is incredible. absolutely no hate - have been taking in content since the conception! Wish you well and good health.

That's what I was thinking. Colin seems to live a healthy and engaged life otherwise but I would worry about any substance abuse. It may help with anxiety but the side effects are clearly memory issues and sluggishness.

Hey Dude, Was PlayStation Plus the first major digital service to use the "Plus" suffix for a premium tier? I did a little research online about it, and out of over 20 services that have used "+" in their branding, PS+ seems to be the earliest. It is possible that they are the ones that started the whole trend. It might not be a huge deal, but it's a cool bit of PlayStation lore and history if it's true. Thanks for keeping the great content coming while everyone else was off! Best, Jared

I just gotta chime in about the E33 comments of “it’s not the first to do anything”. Is that important? Do games have to do something different to be special? Or to be Game of the Year? All the games I can think of that have won GOTY were never the “first to do” anything. Was Elden Ring the first souls game? Was Astrobot the first platformer? Was BG3 the first CRPG? I don’t understand the Last Stand Media hate on E33.

You're arguing with a ghost. Who said it needed to do something new to be good? Half the Playstation games that come out are Sony Slop and no one is making a stink about that here, lol. I think you're misunderstanding what's being said
