This is correct. Financially literacy for most people only goes so far as them knowing that paying their bills on time is good, and not doing it is bad. They don’t know or understand that paying on time on a 84 month loan is not as good as they think it is. 

Presumably, someone who has better qualifications has some sense of financial awareness.

It seems to be intentional as some of Gene's move are similar to the ones in the anime. 

I like to say Valkyrie Profile in response to questions like this. The game gets a fair amount of praise, sure (most people who’ve played it say that it’s good), but I don’t think it gets nearly enough of it; I think it’s one of the best three games released for the PS1, yet it almost never appears on lists for the…

Sleeping Dogs. In my opinion, it’s much better than GTAV. It presents a gritty, realistic Hong Kong with a great combat system and compelling story. It stands with Ghost of Tsushima and RDR2 as presenting a truly realistic/grounded open world to explore.

One of my favorite FPS games from the later 90s when it seemed like every publisher was trying to jump on the craze. Shogo MAD released around the same time Half-Life did and was largely overshadowed & subsequently forgotten. Shogo had an intriguing story that had branching paths due to your actions (bit of a rarity…

Castlevania: Lords of Shadow.

I know a lot of Castlevania fans hated this game, but I really liked it’s new take on combat and exploration. Plus the narrative twist at the end felt earned. I’d love to replay it again, but I have a PS5 and it was never re-released on PS4, so alas, I will stick to enjoying the excellent …

A couple of titles come to mind from the PS1 era. First, Silent Bomber. What a strange, wonderful game. I feel like no one played it and no one remembers it, but I’d love to see a sequel, or at least a spiritual sequel.

Freedom Fighters on XBox/PS2/GC. A fun alternate future TPS game where the Russians invade America and you play a plumber who stumbles his way into leading the resistance. Had some interesting level design for its time with multiple paths to get around, and a sweet mechanic where the order you chose to do missions…

Sleeping Dogs. It got really good reviews but I don't know many people who played it. So many called it a knock off GTA game but it was so much more. The characters and story were really well written and the gameplay was phenomenal.  I really wish it had gotten a sequel.

I can name three game on the top of my head. I’m sure there’s more.

I’m one of them! But sorta by choice. Found a 2020 Mini Clubman JCW with a couple thousand miles on it that was a dealer demo for the regional Mini rep. Sticker was $49,850, I got it for $37,500. The interest rate (1.99%) was the same with $0 down for 60 mo. as it was with $20,000 down for 24 mo, so why not? Granted,…

Those are the HS50M studio monitors. I think that specific model is discontinued but was replaced by the similar HS5. (I use them in conjunction with a Dayton 8-inch subwoofer to fill out the low end.)

If the game launches without introducing any bugs or issues, it should be a “buy at full price” choice.

It depends.

This is unrelated to PS5 and won’t help you but I’ll post a FedEx story from last September that shows what can happen to a box. Many other replies to you seem to think a driver is responsible but sometimes it is computer error. I doubt delivery drivers steal them often, more likely they deliver to the wrong place due…

Works in delivery for most of my life.

Most delivery worker i know have a 3 strike system in regards to losing parcels. 3rd strike and you’re fired, however, if you lose the item, you pay for it.

i am guessing delivery dude had some “leeway” with his strikes rating and therefore could have just stolen the PS5, paid for…

It almost certainly got stolen, but having worked in shipping in the past (and most recently a couple of years ago), unless things have changed considerably, I haven’t seen internal tracking of that sort (with the exception of international stuff, and only then to see if it was still in customs or if it had been…

Ten bucks says that console went exactly the same way as the TV I ordered once upon a time that got partway into shipping and then just...disappeared.
