I really wanted to like JFO but I just hated the combat mechanics, it almost seemed like it was lightsaber fighting underwater with how sluggish it seemed, and I hated the number of times I died early on from basic beasts just because you can’t break a 3-button combo so if they dodge ever so slightly that’s a good 2-3 seconds they have to lunge attack.
I tried Baba and really enjoyed it to start. But once I hit a wall, way earlier than I thought I would, I did touch it for like another year, and haven’t played it since.
I was really into the game before the end of the first island but really started hating that there was a mongol group every 100 feet on the roads, and that even if you roll to dodge an attack if they’re mid-air lunge they will seemingly change direction mid-air and still hit you.
I took a break partway into the 2nd island and I’m still skittish about restarting because of how repetitive the game seems.
At this point the if lid on a Little Caesars smushed against the cheese you couldn’t tell the difference between the pizza and the box
If dating apps are an indication, this will appeal to 80% of women in america!

Takea GTA5 (or the rumors of GTA6) approach and have the narrative swap between Mac and Jenny.
The original Saints Row was wacky enough to not be just another GTA clone, SR2 kept most of the tone but got serious.
SR3 just went completely off the rails and I loved every second of it!
One tip I heard when I first got a job is if you go shopping and pay with a debit card, don’t be afraid to get $10-20 cash back just to throw in a rainy day fund. Granted the person that told me this used it to hide money from her husband but the point still stands.
Always keep emergency/rainy day money because you never know when you’ll need it

Is there a way to mix in the old concept of Tomboy into the conversation since that’s something older folks would maybe understand?
No! You don’t say…
I always find it strange because dark modes and light text on black backgrounds bugs the hell out of my eyes.
No, it would’ve been something along the lines of “A: We are evaluating it at this time for the best approach moving forward”
So a corporate douche CEO wants to screw over their own userbase in the name of money alone and they are 100% onboard with opposing the boycott/protest…
…but are perfectly fine harassing and threatening stock workers at Target over Pride Month displays, outright absurd-levels of “boycotting” because of a limited-edition can with Bud Light, and the whole Chick-Fil-A DEI hire?
Those subs are going down faster than spez’s credibility
I never cared for RPGs growing up but when KotOR came out when I was in college I was immediately hooked! My next serious dip into the RPG pool was Oblivion and I loved it!
Skyrim, for how much it improved on Oblivion didn’t capture me the same way. Despite it red-ringing my 360 the seemingly endless random dragon attacks made me outright quit the game. It wasn’t until last year I gave it another shot on XBone with the anniversary edition and even then it wasn’t as enthralling as everyone makes it out to be
The same powermods that teed up his prepared answers…
I’m hoping it won’t happen here but the endless shoehorning about how every single little problem anyone under the age of 40 encounters is because of fUcKiNg BoOmErS, and how anyone under the age of 40 is the most oppressed group of people in the history of time.
2 very recent ones on PS5
God of War Ragnarok: I did the story and as much f the side missions and challenges as possible. But there are a few Berserker Graves, and the final Valkyrie Gna that no matter how many times I tried it would just get absurd. I almost threw my controller through my TV a few times when trying to roll-dodge to the side for an attack after they’ve already jumped at you and, i shit you not, they change direction in mid-air.
Spider-Man: I did 100% the main game, all the side-quests and collectibles just not all the skills. Did all but the last DLC, but finally ragequit when trying to do the base tokens. Interior with tight corners. and you have to take out a dozen enemies including the whip-enemies attacking you from all directions…while rockets are being fired at you in the middle of 5 enemies.
