Like Returnal, we don’t need manual saves, we need save and quit. Just the ability to stop playing and go to bed, or go make dinner. 

I am a Random main as well... but mostly because I’m not great with anyone anyway and just prefer leaning into the chaos with whoever the game picks.

Bye Gita and Josh. Good luck!

Fucking herb
