What an absolute farce.

Played it somewhat recently and the voice acting isn't terrible, but i was assuming they'd want to do a localization pass and record new lines for the remaster

I'm guessing the kids comment was about pets. 'No real bills' I'm guessing she still lives at home and pays some token amount towards rent/utilities.

We can speculate all we like, but I could see this going either way, and I'd be frustrated if my 24 year old couldn't support themselves too.

Shame the game wasn't better. I wanted to like it, the voice acting was solid, but ultimately the combat was unpolished and feels like a early PS2 game.

I hate to say it but I feel like the devs are gonna blame the anti-woke backlash, and while that is obviously a factor, the game simply isn't that great. Needed some more time in the oven IMO, there is the soul of a good game in here.

Oh boy is that a loaded question.

As someone who has played every game in the series, the trend has been to make them less like RPGs and more like action games. Gameplay wise, this was far and away the best action-y one and had a decent enough story. Anything compared to 15 would have looked like a masterpiece, lol.

I vastly prefer the more traditional RPGs overall though. 16 was a pleasant surprise since I came in with a bit of a bias against the shift towards action games, and really only gave it a shot because the director has earned a lot of credit with his handling of 14 (the MMO)

That 'divisiveness' got us an actually electable candidate so fuck off with this revisionist bullshit. Biden was a dead end that was not worth going all-in for, especially faced with the threat of a second Trump term.

I doubt it brought in 46m worth of revenue to the state though.

You're always going to be judged. If you base your own happiness on the collective opinion of society about you, you will never be happy. You can't control how other people feel, so you need to focus your mental energy on controlling your own feelings.

Does Hashimoto's disease actually cause obesity? Feels like a lot of people blame thyroid diseases for issues that are actually mostly under their control.

In the grand scheme of things, weight is a physics problem. I seriously doubt that outside of extreme cases that someone would be obese solely from hyperthyroidism.
