I went on the Sewetch eeshop for the first time. I bought: Car Mechanic Simulator $30 Also, these were on sale for a few bucks each: PC Builder Simulator Forklift Simulator Piano Tutor And: Hypnospace Outlaw demo FREE Colors Live demo FREE I also saw Diablo 2 Remastered for $21. But a lot of these titles seem to be mobile game ports at least the quality titles seem to stand out.

centipede That's a lot of simulators right there, didn't know you were into the genre. This reminds me that my wife got House Builder House Flipper 2 on release day, on Steam, and has been playing it almost everyday since then. It looks like a cool game for anyone who likes more relaxing/simulator stuff. Edit: It was House Flipper, not Builder.

Cervantes Next one I'm going to get is Tropico 6, and it better have touchscreen functionality!. I've played Tropico 4 on the 360, where I was surprisingly benevolent for a South American dictator. Anyway, I figure if I'm going to procrastinate, I may as well be productive about it and make it educational lol I have a valid LF Forklift Licence, but was never really confident about it. I t comes down to what that 'Gaming As An Adult' video said: you feel like you should be doing something useful instead of playing. You say you want to play more RPGs this year, but I personally would rather start building that RPG Maker game and put it on Steam.

centipede It's an interesting thought. One of the reasons for why I want to play more RPGs is to play the ones that I have in Japanese, so I'll try to learn something from them. I had started doing that with Phantasy Star and it was working, it was an excellent way to study the language, but sadly I dropped it; maybe this year it will work out.

Cervantes I was talking to a work mate and I mentioned I bought PC Builder Simulator. He said it was so authentic, you could learn pc building easily. My taste with single player non-sims is all but completely numb, but I still get tempted. I saw Boltgun for under $50 at ebGames the other day. Also, I saw a game called Air Twister on ebay. Pretty uninspired name, but it was made by Yu Suzuki himself, as a spiritual successor to the likes of Space Harrier and Panzer Dragoon. I tried learning new words from trying to watch DVDs in other languages. It's kinda hard.

ordered some games and a skylander figure the 21st dec last year, it finally arrived today 4th jan, the parcel was very damaged with a large print on it, maybe from a tire or boot of some kind, like if they'd driven over it or stomped/jumped on it.. the packaging for the Skylander was completely cracked, torn and crushed on multiple places but thankfully the figure inside seems undamaged and the games all seem fine too, they were all on the other end of the parcel from where the damage was, so it seems the Skylander's packaging absorbed pretty much 100% the damage, thankfully
all new and sealed stuff, no second-hand used products this time
3DS: LEGO Batman 2 DC Super Heroes (dutch packaging, multilingual options including english in-game) LEGO Legends of Chima Laval's Journey (french packaging, multilingual options including english in-game)
Vita: LEGO Ninjago Shadow of Ronin (spanish packaging, multilingual options including english in-game)
Skylanders: Skylanders Superchargers Shield Striker

I finally got Shining Force III: Episodes 2 & 3 (Saturn, japanese). I've had SF III Ep. 1 (english) for over a decade, but never got to finish the trilogy. Having a very recent fan translation of Ep. 2 & 3 will certainly help - if I don't understand something, I can always open a longplay on Youtube. centipede - It is very hard, but, in this particular case, I did study japanese for a time and have a background in Linguistics, so I do get the basics of the language. More importantly, I'm not trying to fully learn japanese - I'll just try to learn a little bit more, maybe a few words and more of its syntax, not much. Armored Core Raven - Wow, good thing the figure itself and the games were intact. I've been very lucky with my packages lately, can't even remember the last time I got something damaged.

Enchanted Arms (X360). It looks like a really oddball From Software release.

I bought Zelda: TotK, but realising how much time I'd spend on it, relented and traded it back for a Switch TotK carry box to store everything in.

Nice one! On PS4 I got: - Darius - Darius II - Growl - The Last Blade 2 Sadly my internal HDD died when I unplugged my PS4 by mistake when I wanted to charge my camera, and my PS4 became unusable a couple days ago after surviving a few days after the incident, turning off by itself multiple times. So this could be an opportunity to upgrade to an internal SSD drive. I had a 2TB HDD drive in there, and it was already running out of space at least for the games I want to keep there all the time. So now I'm considering going for the 4TB SSD, but I'm not sure if my PS4 can handle it. It is a PS4 Pro, but I got it at launch, so I don't know if this particular model can do it. I have seen Digital Foundry putting a 8TB SSD in there, but I don't want to spend that kind of money. Even with the 4TB I'm not sure if I should do it. I don't want to spend the money for it not to work at the end. At least if it doesn't work I can still use the drive on my laptop that also has a 2.5 inch slot, but then that would mean at that point I need to buy another 2TB SSD for the Pro. So I'm not sure if I should just buy the 2TB SSD, go for what is safe, and live with the limitations of that, or risk getting the 4TB.

Could you find a repair shop nearby and ask them to plug one in to see if it works with the possibility of buying it from them if it does? There may be a situation where a local shop is the only option to fix it because if the HDD isn't the only problem, there is still a very small possibility that a certain chip needs to be replaced, which is a little black thing on the side of the motherboard. Hopefully that's not the case, and only the HDD is the problem, which is the most likely situation. The issue is that where I live a SSD is 50% to %150 overpriced, and it is not worth it buying it here. It is way cheaper to just get on Amazon and pay the small shipping fee through a third party, which luckily are abundant for these type of things. Only if you buy something using official shipping companies like DHL, UPS, or even directly through USPS when the shipping becomes ridiculously expensive. If I can convince a local shop to do me the favor to try it, the process not only would involve they opening the drive, it would also mean formatting it, and risk damaging it, which is a long shot, but still a possibility they may not willing to try. However even if it works, the drive may cost as much or more than buying 2. I guess I just have to take the risk myself and try it to see what happens. I appreciate the ideas though.
