PS2 Backlog Committee

a) Get a PS5
b) Get an Xbox
c) Get another Switch
d) Get a Steamdeck
e) Retire from gaming (or just replay stuff I already own, of which there is a lot)

You know what to do my child. Listen to your gaming heart...



*********************

I'm stuck in Broken Age act 2. I can't figure out how to get a dude to cough up something in his throat on the boy's side. (I think it has something to do with a snake, but I can't figure out how to capture it.) And on the girl's side, I'm at a loss as to how to get the "mother" to open the door. I've searched everywhere with no new items presenting themselves, and there are no more conversation options with the only two available characters on the space ship. I really hate surrendering to a blockage and seeking outside guidance, and usually don't do so unless I'm not really enjoying a game much. But I really like this one, and I want the satisfaction of getting it done on my own. I'll hold on for a while longer here, but there's little point in wandering aimlessly forever.

If I were intelligent (I'm not), I'd get a powerful PC (purportedly for work) and hook it up to the TV.

Only the truly wise are aware of their ignorance.

izzy, I appreciate your humor. You often make me laugh which is a good thing, because I don’t laugh much these days.

I'm glad I am a source of amusement sometimes for you. I saw your comment about your ongoing health struggles. I hope you are able to manage as best as you can. Life can be hard at times, and laughter is always a nice reprieve from life's stresses. Now I won't be able to be funny though because you've made me self conscious.

Thanks, I’ve been getting a little better just taking it one day at a time.

I used to really like those skits, I miss that era of SNL when it was actually funny.

Thanks for the kind words phase (or sarcasm..whichever. ). Yeah those were the golden years of SNL. I haven't seen more than a minute or two of it in ages though. But I'm fairly confident it wouldn't be funny now.
