Is this not blatant money laundering?

Yep! 175gb for a single player game right out of the gate.

Granted, I think most of the size comes from 4K textures, maybe? It really is a good looking game though.

God I wish I could play this game again with a fresh slate and no knowledge of anything again. Story, style, soundtrack, and gameplay all in an endearing package.

I bought this game a day or two after release, and it wouldn’t even go into the main menu without connecting my account.

The story goes like this.

I buy the game, download and install a 175gb game, and get excited when it’s finally done. I start the game. Get more excited. BOOM. The first prompt I see says PSN account required. The ONLY fucking options I have are to sign in with the account, or fuck off and quit the game. I try to find a mod (this one didn’t exist just yet, more on that in a moment!) and find nothing. I try to change my region via VPN, and still get this prompt. Okay, I’ll use an old account I used on my old PS3 (I really love the new God of War games, so I do want to support and play them). I go to log in, and it says my password is wrong, okay. I go to the PS website and try to do a password reset. The fucking email never came though. I tried a few more times, probably for an entire hour guys, and nowhere in my email boxes was this password reset email. I then uninstall the game, leave a bad review, and then refund the game. I got a pirate copy, let it download, install, scan scan scan, and BAM! I boot the game up, and it’s at the main menu in no time. Played for quite a few hours and loved it.

The mod came out TWO HOURS after I had gotten my refund. I will not be making another purchase of the game, that’s for sure.

Needless to say, if you are like me and tried to be the Good Samaritan by purchasing the product, well, pirate it. It played as it should have when I bought the fucking thing legally. Fuck Sony and their numerous security breaches, fuck Sony and their stupid ass shareholders, and fuck Sony specifically because they thought this was a good idea.

Not OP, but Dead Money story is at least semi interesting. I didn’t have a hard time with the DLC due to my character being overpowered in Fallout 3, and going through most of the main story before splitting off into the New Vegas DLCs.

For both of you, I recommend a playthrough of Tale of Two Wastelands as it incorporates Fallout 3 into New Vegas’ better engine, and allows you to carry over your character from either or to the next game. By this, I mean you can even start New Vegas first, and then head to the Capital Wasteland. It makes more sense to do Fallout 3 first though, with the whole birthing scene in the very beginning of the game. :)

I agree 100%! I just know that the average Joe doesn’t look at these things the same way we do. :/

I love this animation of Gabe! Thank you for sharing!

You can for sure! It’s just I wouldn’t go around recommending that to just any person because they then might get a little crazy with the freedom, brick their Steam deck install, and then try to say that the Deck is a POS.

Bad word of mouth is always a lot more damaging than spreading the good word that it’s a solid system.

“ I attacked someone first by calling them dumb, you explained to me in a very reasonable tone why they might feel that way. I don’t like that. I blocked you. 🤡”

Yep! All true! Have a good one!

I posted the article to create AWARENESS, homie. I even said I was looking to use Kagi myself.

I have nothing else to fucking address, because IT IS RIGHT THERE ON THE WEB PAGE WITH HYPERLINKS. Those same hyperlinks will bring you to your fucking answer! READ it, just like I did.

By the way, sunk cost fallacy. A subscription doesn't change anything about it. lol

My first question would be, "What person in power drives themselves anymore? Don't they all just fly around so they aren't down here with the plebs?"

It's really not that hard, but damn, Americans sure do make some of the BEST mental gymnasts I have ever seen!
