My dad passed in 2013 at the age of 62. He was almost 63 and one month before my daughter was born. He had two heart attacks at ages 47 and 49 and one stroke at the age of 53. To tell you the truth he had been in decline for so long that I was sort of numb to his death. We didn't expect him to live to see 50.  Every now and then it hits me and I get emotional (like typing this now) but we speak fondly about him and are rarely sad about it. The thing about it is when I reached 47 I started to be concerned like I am destined to follow in his footsteps and have a heart attack too. I live a much healthier lifestyle but there's always that lingering concern. I really would love to see my grandkids and provide for them in a way that my children missed out on.

Too young. I share your experience pretty much 100%

My advice, spend as much time as you can ansd ask him as much about his past as possible. Become a research student of his life.

This is great advice.

Yeah it is. I tried that and went on a citytrip with my dad last year.  Lets just say our family aren't the best talkers.  We had a nice couple of days, but we came no closer.  

I often wonder, if he should pass away tomorrow, what would I even say on his funeral?  He's always been there for me, but I don't feel llike I really know him.

I bought Nier Automata on Switch at the beginning of summer, only started playing this week.  And then only about an hour.  I didn't know much about this game, other than that it looked like something I'd want to play.  Turns out it's some kind of action game/bullet hell hybrid?  It's pretty cool, although the button mapping seems odd?  It reminds me of PN.03 a bit in that your character looks very cool and nimble, but actually controls a bit slow and not very fluently.


What also struck me is how dated it looks.  Granted, it released 8 years ago, but even as a Switch game it looks old.  And it seems to take itself very serious as well.  As someone who's always been predominently a Nintendo gamer, it's like stepping into a different reality where games are serious and much less colourful.

Use the Switch 2 button remapping feature. It's great.

I especially hate the run button being mapped to pressing the left stick in.

I've been watching Cyberpunk videos and trying to grab all the unique and free gear. Whilst finding someone these locations is fun, often the item in the video isnt there and its something random.

Feel a bit cheated by these youtubers
