  • The men’s section at bath and bodyworks has some great smelling ones that work great and since a little goes a long way a bottle usually lasts me months. Pair that with an exfoliating poofy or whatever it’s called and it does a fantastic job, doesn’t leave a strong scent and does wonders for my skin.

    For deodorant I use arm & hammer essentials. Works great, no aluminum parabens or phthalates, isn’t overpowering or super smelly like Old Spice and doesn’t cause any skin reactions.

    Why did 15g sugar pancakes taste sweeter than 100g sugar cupcakes?
  • I noticed this with coffee a while back. Was putting several tablespoons teaspoons of sugar in to make it palatable but got distracted one day and only put in two, it was sweet and it was much better tasting

    The Great Gasby (2013) - What in the world?
  • I know the movie isn’t for everyone but I really enjoyed it. I thought it really captured the whirlwind feel of the era with the grand visuals and kickass soundtrack. The story made sense and was about as good as anyone could have done with a movie and not a 1:1 episodic retelling. Was it perfect? No, but it was damn good and fun

    I miss the magical "mystery" of childhood games
  • If it’s an unknown studio or something I’m dubious about I like to check spoiler free reviews after the launch just to see if everyone hates it/it’s broken or not and then I’ll give it a try. Other than that I still try to avoid most media about it. Reviews, trailers and forums give so much info, spoilers and wish lists presented as fact that it can lead to let down I wouldn’t have had otherwise

    I’ve also tried to let go of the idea of what I want the game to be and just let it be what it is, which for me has made them much more enjoyable

  • For sure movies too. Trailers have ruined more movies than I can count. Going in blind or having only seen the first trailer really made the entire experience much more enjoyable for me

  • One thing I’ve found that helps is not watching trailers and reading articles/threads. I’ll watch a single trailer, usually the first one and then ignore everything else. Now I get to discover everything on my own and don’t have a ton of preconceived notions and opinions already in my brain when I first boot it up.

    It’s made my gaming experience a hell of a lot more enjoyable again
