PS5 Collection So Far & Waffles

[@SoftOtaku]

Partying like it's 1999, every single day. 🎉😅

[@TB-TheGoldenAgeGamer]

What a great collection. I have one ps5 game and thats demon souls. Tbh i havent even set up my ps5 and its just sitting in the box. Ive been so busy trying to 100% all the souls bourne games. Your video showed me i have a ton of great games to look forward too when i finally dive into the ps5.

[@SoftOtaku]

I have Demons’ Souls digitally and it’s awesome. Eventually I want a physical copy. I showed a lot of games in this video that are great for $9, but not if you want to save space and just have the good stuff. Except for the horsey game. Buy 2 of those.

[@TheHighlander71]

"Am I shrinking?" this is why I am entertained.

[@lactobacillusprime]

OMG that intro cracks me up! I have about 4 physical games. Most of the physical games I have on the system are actually PS4. We've been playing a few of the big games but I got those digitally so both Elise and me get to play them simultaneously as we do have two PS5s in the home as well as two Switches - so that we both get to play and don't have to take turns. :) Going digital saves money - but I do intend on getting the games I really like physically eventually.

[@SoftOtaku]

Yeah, digital is so convenient and saves space and money. Especially on Switch!

[@TheHighlander71]

Very funny and entertaining. "REGGIE!"..haha. I especially appreciated your impression of the sonic game: "it's okay". I have a nice bonus underway from work and I could easily go out and get a PS5. But I won't. I think I'll just watch your impressions of the games. Maybe it would be different if I watched Metal Jezus too.

[@SoftOtaku]

Good for you. Thanks for stopping by and hanging out. Congrats on the bonus!

I love your content. Please, never change! I used MyUS for a while, too. And I had the exact same issue that you had with them. I used to receive at least one game case slashed through with a box cutter in every shipment. And they would always deny it was them. So I eventually closed my account and never looked back 😄 Oh, and you need an air purifier, too much cat hair and fuzz flying around 😁

[@SoftOtaku]

We have 2 COUNT ‘EM TWO air purifiers in that room. It might be the fact that the heater was blowing everything toward me during the video. Or maybe we are just disgusting slobs. Did you find a company to replace MYUS? Thanks for loving my content. ❤️

25:49 I've seen a few renditions of Alice in Wonderland set in a very dark, but whimsical world. I think the two words can go together, like a psycho circus--a colorful environment that has a foreboding feeling around every corner.

[@SoftOtaku]

Whimsical is a word that seems like it may carry different connotations for different people. I think I misunderstood it slightly as a result, but I personally still struggle to think of something as simultaneously dark and whimsical. I may need to look into changing careers. 😆

[@WhatsOnMyShelf]

@@SoftOtaku Traditionally, I think the word was used in exchange for capricious by the definition pointed out in your video, but I definitely have seen it used in the light-hearted sense you ascribe to it. I think language can have some flex to it. Once a poet writer decides to describe something using one characteristic of a word, I think a word starts to evolve new meaning and subtleties, based on context. I'm thinking the word bad and more recently ,since I brought it up in the response to my other comment, the word dank. Those words now have different meanings from their original merriam-webster page definitions. I think the study of etymology involves looking at the cultural exchange of ideas affecting the evolution of words. I sometimes find it fascinating to look into the history of the usage of certain words--like. 'how did it end up meaning this'?

[@viktorgrror6034]

Love the long videos! I'll watch while playing Fire Emblem Engage.

[@SoftOtaku]

Synchronicity! Cheers!

23:08 I barely eat sodium. I don't eat processed foods often either (maybe 1-3 times a week). It's pretty easy to get potassium and other nutrients, if you eat unprocessed foods. I will say that I have noticed that zinc, magnesium, and iron can be tricky, but I've figured out an alright diet. Pumpkin seeds are great for those, btw.

[@SoftOtaku]

Good for you for actually thinking about your diet. That’s better than a lot of us do until it’s kinda too late.

[@WhatsOnMyShelf]

@@SoftOtaku I think it's a routine you work yourself into day after day. One of my food vices are bagels (processed foods!). They're impossible to get on the West coast, so I don't eat them often. I grew up in NJ, and nothing out here is equivalent. I bring up these bagels because after many years of not having them or thinking about them, my parents started sending me boxes of them every now and then. That's when my routine of rarely eating processed foods out the window. So yeah, just avoid the foods that you don't want long enough till you crave those that are better choices. Also, if you add salt to your foods regularly, other strong spices like garlic, onion, lemon / orange / lime zest or juices, ginger, turmeric, or some really good paprika or cinnamon can be a good exchange, depending on the dish. Cardamom and fenugreek are also very powerful spices that can punch up the right dish. A little of those goes a long way.,

[@SoftOtaku]

@@WhatsOnMyShelf Good words. Unfortunately my wife acquired a bionic nose during her second pregnancy that has rendered her EXTREMELY sensitive to the smell of garlic and onion, as well as possibly some of the others you mentioned. 😞

[@WhatsOnMyShelf]

34:19 This is whimsical decision-making. You probably would have better success starting with one thing and sticking to it. Once that becomes routine, you could try adding other things. It all depends on stress level and what you think you can take.

WHIMSICAL AND DARK

[@WhatsOnMyShelf]

@@SoftOtaku Very dark. Maybe the kids these days would say dank. Is dank still a thing or is that so two years ago?

[@SoftOtaku]

@@WhatsOnMyShelf All I know is it rhymes with wank, so it will likely never go out of style. I say jank(y) as well, but I don't believe I've ever uttered the word "dank." Whimsical and dank. Hmm.

[@WhatsOnMyShelf]

@@SoftOtaku Yeah, I don't really take on the new terms either. It would feel like I'm uttering a lie if I used words like dank, fire, or based. I know it's silly, considering I have no issue with cool, bad, and totally tubular.

[@electricadventures]

So many games not enough time :) I actually don't have that many PS5 games so far, as I am trying not to continually increase my backlog (plus finally getting Switch has not helped). There are quite a few PS5 titles I wouldn't playing how ever. Do want the Deadspace remake for sure! And the daughter wants the new Harry Potter game, so we should at least be getting those.

[@SoftOtaku]

"Backlog" is a dirty word. I have a library. 😝

[@SoftOtaku]

The Hogwarts game is intriguing. I’ll give it a whirl.

[@SoftOtaku]

Never played the original Dead Space. Bought it. Put it on the shelf. Good fun. 😆

[@electricadventures]

@@SoftOtaku One of my favourite games on the PS3 (as well as 2, have 3 but haven't actually played it).

[@bigkeith41]

What up Ant

[@SoftOtaku]

The "partying like its 1999" comment was meant to be a reply to you. 😆

[@WhatsOnMyShelf]

If you don't like Sonic, why get Sonic Frontiers?

[@SoftOtaku]

I don’t particularly like Mario, either. But some of the best games ever made feature him, so I tolerate him. 😉

[@WhatsOnMyShelf]

@@SoftOtaku Maybe I'm getting you confused with another person I watch, but did you say that you weren't a fan of platformers, in general?

[@SoftOtaku]

@@WhatsOnMyShelf I love platformers. HOW DARE YOU! 😂 As for Sonic Frontiers, I bought it because I wanted to play it. I love Breath of the Wild, and the idea of a little bit of that with Sonic's speed appealed to me.

[@WhatsOnMyShelf]

@@SoftOtaku I've not played Sonic yet. From the trailer I saw, it reminded me of Shadow of the Colossus.
