I think it is being glossed over that the Epic store is an online storefront that still doesn't have a shopping cart and will ban you if you make too many transactions in a short period of time.

That said, I have zero issue with using the epic games launcher.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but I don't understand the problem?

That tweet reads to me as "politician meets family; says things to family's kids". Which, well, any politician ever will do that and it's not a bad thing.

Sooooo...he meets a 13 year old girl, and the first thing that comes to his mind to say - not to her, but about her to her brothers - is about sexual assault. And this is somehow normal and OK and accepted by a lot of people.

Go to my subscriptions, click upgrade to gamepass ultimate, eventually it asks for a credit card for the recurring payment and that info is already there, then it gives me

Try that again
Something happened on our end. Waiting a bit might help.

Strong contender for my GotY. Heads up for anyone who plays this and starts a new game plus though, don't use the homeward idol item before you save Kuro. Doing so breaks the game and stops you from progressing.

There are a couple levels that I have to step away from and come back later. Part of the reason I am enjoying the game is that it actually challenges me with its puzzles

RE2 is my favorite RE game and this remake is excellent. So far, I've only beat the first run with Leon, which is a change from how I used to play the game which was starting with Claire every time. Still need to play the second scenario as Claire and then the whole thing again starting as Claire.

Can't you just refuse to work or something? How can you legally be made to go to work for no pay?

TSA agents and the like have been doing it for over 3 weeks now, that's just how it goes when the government isn't funded but certain jobs still need to get done. And we *will* be paid at some point once those in power decide to do their job and vote on things.

Hope that happens soon. I'm lucky that DoD is part of the gov't that is funded, but I don't know how long that will last if this goes on much longer.

Dragon Quest XI (PC)

Got the second, true ending. Holy shit. Just holy shit. I put this game too low on my GotY list. I put it at 7 but it should have been in my top 5. Probably not #1 but a contender for 2 at the least.

So, here are some massive series plot spoilers that occur in the last cut scene of the game.

You play as Erdrick this entire game and it's a title that is bestowed on you by a dragon that is the true form of Yggdrasil.The last thing you see before the credits roll is the Dragon Warrior hero with Sword of Light looking across at the Dragonlord's castle and fuck the FFVII remake, I want a Dragon Warrior remake.
