For me, the combat in DA:O just wasn’t terribly fun, because it was either quite easy, or frustratingly difficult with a ton of micromanagement + damage sponges. (Which I despise both of) i played through it twice, and while I enjoyed it at the time, it’s certainly not on my “best games ever” list. There are several…

Personally, I found sarcastic Hawke to be the best. Regardless DA II was a good game, story wise anyway. Honestly, Origins is the only one I dislike these days.

No, I’m going to have to side with this just being extra PC. “Blind” as a term for a “first time through, with no previous experience or knowledge” has been a thing for....ever really. It’s not something I most people would confuse with or expect to be an actual blind person.

On the whole, Nintendo tends to handle DLC well...mostly. There’s been a few missteps here or there (to me, the most recent Luigi’s Mansion comes to mind) but overall it’s been pretty good.

Yeah, I got real used to inverted controls when I was younger, then made a move to PC. Now that I’m used to M+KB, inverted controls are just weird to me. I don’t know why I ever thought there were fine. Probably because it was the only option, and in flying games it made sense.

Idk about others, but growing up i’d say 95% of movie/comic tie-ins were shameless cash grabs and generally shit games. As such, I’ve mostly wrote them off today, even if there are a few gems like Spiderman. The cash grab vibe is what I got from this game from the little marketing I did see.

You say truckier. I see minivan in a trucks clothing. 

Winter? What the hell is that? It’s mid November and we’re still hitting 90F. So, in short, no.

Honestly, probably the PS4. I think I own...8 games for it, over the entire life of the system. These days it’s largely been relegated to a streaming box out of convenience, but I could easily do this with other devices. I haven't played a game on it since P5.

 That's what it was. Dunno why my brain went stupid on that. 

Maybe. AFAIK, most auto manfs use the...I forget the exact term at the moment, but “on demand” ordering, where they only order what they need for a short period rather than keeping a large inventory. I don’t see Tesla doing anything different, but I honestly haven’t researched it nor do I care all that much.

Perhaps. The fact that in continued through 2018 though is just bad though. It wouldn’t be such a big deal if it was just the early cars.

First of all, what the hell did you do to an SSD to wear it out in a PC? Was it the only drive and you wiped it daily? Well...I suppose TRIM wasn’t really implemented early on.

Put bluntly, Tesla cheaped out and now consumers are footing the bill. 2012 is fairly early in the SSDs becoming popular space. In the last....eh, 5 or so years, they’ve become much better, with a larger amount of write cycles. Having more storage also helps offset this, as it allows a drive to spread the writes out…

So, assuming the PS5 supports CEC like the PS4 does, I just close my app, go to the home screen, and turn off my TV. Shuts down my system, AV, and TV all at once.

What? $10 a DAY I work from home? That’s a bit much, and would basically negate any benefit of me working from home. As many have said, this idea is stupid.

While I lean towards JRPGs, I’m not apposed to western games. I loved The Witcher 3, and played a lot of Skyrim. For me these days, it’s more the game needs to be fun to play and I need to find the world and characters interesting. I do agree with Fahey the WRPGs tend to be drab and gloomy. Sometimes that’s fine, but…

 Depending on your setting, all dwarves have beards...all of them.

As always, the DM(dev) is god. If the DM says you can do it, do it. You sound like a rules lawyer. =P

I counter your 6. PSO2 actually has a decent beard (and a few fabulous mustaches) but overall you're not wrong.
