Questions

JoeColeslaw: Anyone want to lend me their steam link pad thing so I can play Gas Station Simulator? Or I can wait until next year for the console port.

Sometimes, it's best to 'hit the reset button' in life like an overgrown lawn to just spend 2 days and get it back to a manageable level. Or a cluttered house, spend a week and get it deep cleaned so it's easier to maintain. Or, I don't know, MAYBE move across the country and unpack into your new house!

The same could be true in video games, you get so lost, or just want a fresh start. When have you pressed reset on games you're playing and start from scratch?
