Hate to say it, but if there's anything I'm addicted enough to to get withdrawals, it's probably Facebook. I'm pretty isolated from most of my friend group at the moment, so I hate the feeling of disconectedness I get if I don't check in with people. 

I actually haven't gamed recently, sicne I've been catching up on Netflix shows. I really think I'm gonna swear off TV once I'm done with Stranger Things and just watch movies for a while. I hate big time commitments, and I need to start lesson planning soon, so I'll hate them even more. 

Good luck on the job search though. I know exactly where you're coming from there. I definitely have my own insecurities to get over. 

Looking forward to the podcast. I have not had a handheld system since the DS, but if I can find something as cheap as $30, maybe I'll change that. Or buy a Switch ... being honest with myself, I'm probably not going to buy a Switch. 

Good for you with RDR2, cause this is the second time I've rented it from GameFly and had the data disc just stop in the middle of the download. I've tried several things suggested online and am now moving a couple files around and switching to system storage (as opposed to the 2TB external HD I was trying to put the game on before). Wish me luck!

Side stories, I should say. 

STAGE SELECT: I have jammed this in my car, thanks to buying the CD directly from him at a con: 

CAGE MATCH: I'm way more experienced with Space Invaders via free online websites. I am much better at it than Gradius, which I just played for this cage match, and suck at.

... Gradius wins on presentation alone and is nowhere near as monotonus as Space Invaders. I actually want to play Gradius on NES now. Space Invaders is a worthy distraction, but it has little in the way of style and is very repetitive. I could see Gradius becoming addictive ... like, I want to get past where I got. I want to do that now. 

EDIT: Never mind. Fuck Gradius. Space Invaders wins by way of being playable. 

I'm surprised you never played it. It was always right next to Solitaire and MineSweeper. 

Maybe not the right term, but less detailed.

I remember a much lower-res PC version of this. 

Youngblood looks fun, but I was too much a n00b to really enjoy the initial Wolfenstein reboot. I beat it, but putting it on Very Easy makes me feel like I didn't REALLY beat it, and for some reason I skipped a lot of the story, which was the whole point of continuing anyway. 

I still haven't completed all the side content in Kiwami 2. And I already bought Judgment ... 

Just tell yourself you're a bipedal Dr. Suess fish. That'll help your budget.
