Like Russ and Rebecca, from Chums?

I’ve also worked in state government. I am both surprised and not surprised to hear this.

I’ll also say fuck Asurion. They seemingly bricked my phone during a routine repair. Obviously they came up with a flimsy excuse for why it wasn’t their fault, but regardless I ended up walking out with a paperweight instead of a screen damaged but otherwise fully functional device. Would’ve been better off not seeking their service.

I thought the same about Liftoff. I downloaded it and Connect at the same time and felt ok about both, but didn’t see them as improvements over Jerboa. As of five minutes ago I started giving Connect another shot; the Sync hype has me wondering if the grass is greener anywhere but I’m not willing to drop $20 to remove ads for a federation access point.

Thanks for your concern, but I think I understand my own enjoyment of things and my financial situation better than an internet stranger.

I’ve preordered two games in the last decade and I regretted neither (ME:LE and FO4). If I regret this one, I’ll get over it.

I was going to buy it anyways, even if it’s a mess. If I spend the money now, the game feels free later.

I actually haven’t preordered it and might not, but this is how I felt about Mass Effect Legendary Edition, and Bethesda games are at the same tier for me. I have hundreds of hours in every game since Morrowind; I’ll eventually get my money’s worth.

This is a good feature to bring back to modern games. Anyone else remember F10 from Counter Strike?

I also hate this guy’s wife!

I know buggy Bethesda games have become a meme at this point, but I feel like it’s very possible that this will be no more buggy than FO4 or Skyrim. Those games had their bugs, but I had way more trouble with bugs in Morrowind, Oblivion, and FO3. Now, janky physics or mechanics? I’m sure we’ll get some of that… And I can’t wait!

I wish that there was a way to take better advantage of the Steam Deck controller with this version. I bought a copy to check it out, as I don’t really like playing on mobile but would love to take it on the go. It was… Harder than just playing on my phone.

To the uninitiated: despite my comment, Cataclysm DDA is still worth trying out! Where else could you skateboard down the street naked while holding a plank covered with nails?
