You forgot to mention that Lightning ultimately ends up in rural France, a fate perhaps worse than death

You are right, they don’t even deserve a chance to fail again lol. Well said.

I think the on-site ovens are standardized enough to prevent overcooking, though it might have been overbaked at the supplier. I’m going to try again, but the flavor was overwhelmingly “potato” for me. Not a bad flavor, of course, just not one I’ll regularly be paying for!

I tried mine in the car this morning and had no issue consuming it on the go. Was it possibly overcooked by the barista? Or just a tough batch? I found them really delicious, albeit overpriced.

On a scale of 1 to Fernet-Branca — what are we talking here?

Nobody’s under the illusion this package is mandatory, so pointing out that you don’t have to buy it is a straw man. The problem is that it exists at all, that CIG are even selling digital items at this price point in the first place.

This pyramid scheme is still running?  Oh yeah, it’s not a real pyramid scheme.  In those, at least some early adopters usually actually get a payout...

Perhaps the most ridiculous part isn’t the prices, but that after all this money and all this time, they still haven’t lived up to their original promises. Something that was supposed to happen in 2015.

When I saw the Starfield award on Steam I just assumed it was the community mobbing the vote to be an ironic joke. As in Starfield feels like the least innovative game of the year.

And what about Red Dead Redemption II winning an award for the game with the most continued support this year?

Will this be an overplayed reskin of Farcry, or an overplayed reskin of Assassin’s Creed?

That’s fair. My cat poops in the bathtub and it’s really annoying. 

In my headcanon, I am imagining Gabe Newell personally seeing that post, and adding that point himself, without anyone else at Valve involed.

It’s kind of like asking when do you get your inheritance right after a parent dies. Your parent is dead so you can’t stop them being dead, and asking when do you get your inheritance really has no physical impact. But it’s just rude and selfish to ask. Especially because you’re not necessarily entitled to an…

Senua, Hades II, and the yet to be announced but almost certainly on the horizon, Dino Crisis remake. DO IT CAPCOM

All of them have the potential to suck and disappoint, but I am watching these games in the course of next year:

Need I say any more?

Hellblade 2 and Hades 2 (hopefully) for me

Most anticipated is definitely Hades 2 although I don’t think it’s gonna come in 2024. I see it more as a 2025 release. And I’m almost certain I’m not playing early access. I don’t think it needs elaborating why, the first Hades was about as close to perfection as any game I’ve ever played.
