    Fr though like the others said. 100%ing just comes down to whether or not I feel like it will be enjoyable. if after rolling credits you feel done let it be. I rarely 100%ed anything until my wife and I played pokemon sv, rolled credits and she was like "yeah I'm gonna finish my Pokedex". I didn't wanna be outdone or feel left out so I also completed mine playing alongside her. it happened again after ToTK credits she casually was like "yeah I'm gonna find all of the shrines, towers, and lightroots." and we'd play side by side doing completionist things just for the sake of it. so theres that aspect as well.

    confirmed. ordering inside at the kiosk has no timeout restrictions like the app. but still one deal per order. I felt dumb while doing it but i do what I can to stick it to "the man"

    When the protagonist is in a firefight and surrenders and the enemy stops shooting. They were shooting to kill so why stop? If the protagonist was killed during the firefight isn’t that mission accomplished? If you wanted them alive don’t shoot in the first place. Makes no sense.

    if you can afford ~$150 I’d recommend the retroid pocket 3. The reviews are overwhelmingly positive
