You can make the argument the no one should ever buy a console until it is in the last 2 years of its lifecycle.  You likely get it at a either a discount or in a huge bundle.  It has a huge back catalog, plenty of which will be on discount and you get to pick out the gems.

Im not sure it is accurate to call Nier a huge series. Cult classic at best.

Yeah.  Nailed it.  Characters dont open up until at least level 30 when you can try different builds, but even then...they are minor.  They needed to lean harder into build dynamics.  Cap throwing the shield as opposed to using it as a melee weapon....iron man with laser should be way different than pulse or missles…

Eidos/CD clearly wanted to make a single player game....multiplayer is taked on and feels pointless.  Beat up nameless boring enemies over and over again to farm gear that never feels like it does more than boost stats in a minor way.  Grind 7 different resources.  Have crappy cosmetic dlc that is expensive and awful…

F AC Valhalla.  Its not a bad game.  It is aggresively ok.  Really well polished medicority. Stories that start well and end poorly.  A narrative that loses focus and then meanders around.  A lack of late game content once you have unlocked all the materials.  A town building mechanic that is functionally pointless. …

as a lawyer....I know what the salary range is (and dont go to law school, there are tons of lawyers who dont make 100k, or it takes them like 7 or 8 years to get there while wracking up 150k plus in law school debt alone. Higher salaries are in more expensive markets (NYC, DC, LA, SF, Chicago, Boston — Houston/Dallas…

got my ps5 in march after spending months jumping on every direct, best buy, walmart, queue.  I was so used to sitting in the queue and nothing good happenign, like even getting into the queue and seeing 30mins mean nothing.  The day i got it, the minute the queue opened i jumped from 59 minutes to 13....I was…

KH is a garbage franchise.  It has one good game.  The first, then it promptly when so far up its own ass to be incomprehensible drivel with crappy game play.  It was never some bastion (see what i did there) of great game play, but it was the right mix of fun, approachable, and fan service.  Summons were huge for big…

i got one back in march...i dont look fondly on the hunting that blows.  My buddy doesnt care quite enough to hunt like that, he checks if he sees a post when he isnt working/sleeping etc, but until you can go online an just order one...which looks like 2023.  Its going to be weird because my guess is this will delay…

For Sony I think it is more akin to the ps3 launch era in terms of a break.  GoW2 came out after ps3.  When you have an install base with 100 plus users...you want to transition them over as fast as possible...but right now, if sony could put 30 million consoles in stores...they would sell through.  They cant and they…

yeah, the appeal of fast food to me is its fast, and cheap.  If I am getting a burger delivered...i mean fuck fast food, at least step up to something worth it like Shake Shack/Moo-yah/Smash Burger/Five Guys.  Whats the delivery fee on a value meal?  The cost of another value meal?

Thank you.  First time i had in n out, i thought decent burger at that price point.  Not worth the hype.  Fries are garbage.  You know who else has shitty fries?  Shake Shack.  Five Guys has the best fries.  Hands down. I rarely eat in a Five Guys but  have, and geeze are they good.  

Bk fries got a new recipie in the 90s....those were pretty awful.  I rank BK fairly low on fast food chains,  McDonalds as better fries...but their burger meat is hot garbage (and hey my standard for fast food burgers is low) and their buns are too sweet.  I have a soft spot for mcdonalds nuggets, but those things go…

Far Cry 6?  Its not on here, but Guardians of the Galaxy is out this fall, thought that had an October release date.  We went through a number of years on both 360/ps3 and ps4/xb1 where there werent big releases in the fall outside of CoD and an AC or other Ubi game.  Seems likely this is more of the same.  People…

The Conservatives in England were so desperate to stop any bid to go after taxes and profits by the rich (because England is similarly dependent on finance as the US is, and its wealthy have been hiding their money for decades...as the US has) that they backed a Russian stooge and let Putin install another patsy to…

I have heard boomers who had kids in this situation talk about how they understand it, then go off on kids buying avocado toast.  As if that is why the kids cant buy homes.  My mom bought her house (current one) in 1992.  For 145k.  She was making like 50k.  That same house adusted for inflation would cost 287K. …

Or even if they do the job doesnt pay enough for them to cover the costs of student loans and rent.

pretty much.  At best they have varients, but only because of changes in tech and such.

Probably my second favorite Nintendo console after the snes.  To this list id add Tales of Symphonia (probably in place of Skies).  But it was the console i played Sands of Time, the other two PoP games, Beyond Good and Evil, Soul Calibur 2, NBA Street Vol 2, among others.  

I dont know how you remove the stigma. Community colleges vary so much. I literally couldnt have started at a community college for more than maybe a semester. I had so much in the way of AP credit I only really needed english class since that was the AP exam i screwed up on. I was taking classes for my major right…
