It's been awhile so it's a bit fuzzy but I seem to remember spending over an hour in the introduction and never actually getting to play the game. The fact I lasted even that long is a testament to how much I wanted to like the game. Anyway I uninstalled it right after that.

I immediately bought tickets to a Spiritbox show a month out and then consumed all their material over the next few weeks. They were amazing! I was front and center in the pit right in front of Courtney.
I'd love to see Poppy but it looks like all her dates are in Europe for the foreseeable future and I can't afford that.

Comment on Any good sites for e-book bundles besides Humble Bundle? in ~books
PraiseTheSoup Link ParentNo, these are bad. Like, riddled with errors. And I've always been able to eventually find a good file, so it's not the official ebook.No, these are bad. Like, riddled with errors. And I've always been able to eventually find a good file, so it's not the official ebook.

For example you will read a few pages and start to notice a lot of spelling mistakes, or maybe some strange formatting. Almost like they are leaked review copies or something. Then you have to go back and try a different copy, and you don't ever know if it's a good one until you get into it. I'd certainly be willing to pay a few dollars to guarantee I'm getting a "good" copy of a book, but not from bezos.

And by "this last round of Lord of the Rings" are you talking about the Peter Jackson trilogy from 25 years ago?
I'm just confused by your entire comment. Why are you watching old movies that you know you don't like? It's not like what they're hiding what they're about.

But then, Origins is one of my favorite games of all time, but I also played it on release. I can't imagine playing it for the first time now, I think it would feel very dated. But I have nothing good to say at all about Inquisition. The "open worlds" are empty and soulless and the objectives are exactly the same each time, the characters are all unlikeable and there's a mission in the middle of the game that is such a god awful slog it ruins any chance of replayability.
I never intended to play Veilguard at all after what a bad taste Inquisition left, but it was added to gamepass a few months back so I gave it a shot. I don't think I made it more than an hour before uninstalling.

Obviously mushrooms come in all shapes and sizes but I'd put that at around 3-4 doses if we're being honest.
What's insane to me is that the mushrooms are among the least harmful of the drugs she had and that's what appears to be landing her the lion's share of her sentence.

I'm glad to know that it is not, and maybe now I can give it a shot. I've had it installed for ages and it's taking up a lot of space.
I am interested as this is the biggest issue I have with my current partner.
