I have a "permanent" discount for Proton Pass Family, so long as I don't cancel the subscription.

That's nuckin futs. Thanks for the breakdown.

i have played so many games i woild have never tried and i live having the xbox studio games on release. i am a patient gamer so i always waited for a game to drop below $40. its nice having access to so many.

Subscription gaming has its problems but I'm with you on this.

That's so hard for me to fathom. For me it's Xbox controllers all the way. Funny how different individual preference can be. Really, I'm just glad we both have options that fit our needs.

I didn't budget for much of my adult life because I had barely enough money to get by. That changed,.and I had to learn how to budget because I knew I would still be living hand to mouth if I didn't. No matter how much I made.

I break my savings down into broad categories. It helps keep me honest. I can't imagine the overhead of budgeting for every single item I might need to replace someday.

As much as I despise media consolidation in general, I couldn't be happier about the Batman Arkham franchise finally leaving the purview of such terrible leadership.

I was converted from a subscriber to a pirate about 20yrs ago... And the enshitification of everything makes me love the feel of my well worn hat.

I have, and always will, maintain that the Xbox controller button layout is the only one that makes any sense to me.

You make some very good points. I loved RDR2, but felt like two-thirds of the way through the game it became main story and nothing else. I thought the side quest content was really good, but there needed to be a lot more of it. The "random" events were awesome, but when they were eventually all completed, it made the world feel somewhat empty in comparison. That said, it's still one of my favorite games. I'm on a playthrough right now where I mostly just mess around in the world. I like how slow-paced it is. You can just do whatever. Eat, drink, fish, sleep, fight, hunt, cook, ride, shoot... There's no end to the number of personal side quests you can make up.

YT Premium recently updated their terms to include a provision requiring that the majority of your use be from your home country. YT saw how everyone sucked the Netflix teat when they killed sharing, and now they want a piece too.

It's such fun game. I will never see what happens past midgame.
