I can easily recommend Watch_Dogs 2, it's what the first game should have been. It's a Ubisoft game, which is to say it's like all the other Ubisoft games, which is to say a giant map littered with icons, most of which are filler-tier stuff to do. Still, the Bay Area is a great setting and the game features a cast of truly likeable protagonists, which goes a long way toward giving a **** about their plight.

Make it a prequel with SIE as the main protagonist.

One step at a time. I need to play the game first and experience the story before I decide whether a continuation with the same protagonist or a new protagonist would make more sense for a sequel.

Not immediately jumping to conclusions? In current year? Get with the times, Gromnir. I demand a Stephen A Smith-esque HOT TAEK right now.

I don't have one yet. I plan to get one eventually.

Valve put out a new game more recently than both Epic and CDPR.

My company has me making a delivery in Jeffersonville, IN tonight at 22:30 then I'm supposed to get reloaded at the same place at 18:00... tonight. Now, I will readily admit that there is some high level calculus that escapes me and that I don't fully understand quantum mechanics (I'm not sure there is anyone that fully understands quantum mechanics) but I don't quite understand how I'm supposed to get reloaded 4 1/2 hours before unloading. Keep in mind, due to the nature of how matter works, the unloading needs to take place first.

As a Linux gamer, I always purchase from Steam when everything else is equal. Valve may not be perfect, but they have done more for Linux gaming over the past half decade or so than just about any company out there. That alone has earned them my money.

But why? Is there no communication on these boards? Have we deteriorated to the level of dumb mobile gamers?! You can turn your back on a person, but you can never turn your back on DRM, especially when it's waving a razor sharp hunting knife in your face.

I finished Kiryu's real estate mini-game in Yakuza 0 and unlocked his 4th style. Now I'm all about finishing the main story.

Fear and Loathing in Obsidian Forums

Phoenix Point lost me when they cancelled the promised Linux port. They had a working Linux version too. Epic Store timed exclusivity doesn't really matter to me at this point, since I wasn't gonna get the game anyway, but it is a bummer.

I've taken over 3 of the 5 territories in Kiryu's real estate mini-game in Yakuza 0 and am at about 50% in the 4th territory. Honestly, this is wearing me out. I'm going to finish Kiryu's real estate mini-game, since I'm already this far and I might as well at this point, but I'm not going to bother with Goro's club czar game. Maybe if I didn't have anything else to play after this game I'd be more inclined to finish both mini-games, but I have all types of backlog to play and I'm not going to spend another 10 to 15 hours grinding out Goro's mini-game. It's just way too time consuming and as much as I love this game I don't care enough to grind this out.

I haven't been following the development of the game so I don't know if Activision has left From Software completely alone to do the development or if they've stuck their nose in. I always get nervous when I see a name like EA or Activision attached to a seemingly promising project, for obvious reasons.

Bowie was so far beyond normal human understanding via MASSIVE amount of cocaine and Crowley-esque black sex magic that the majority of his brilliance escapes most of us. Here's another favorite of mine:

Yeah, it's not a 1 to 1 comparison, but my point was that both artists has a plethora of songs that just sort of escaped me and a few songs that were on some next-level unbelievable amazing ****. Bowie had more of these amazing tunes, that's not to besmirch Bjork, who I am a big fan of, it's just that Bowie is one of the Greatest of All Time. Fun fact: Bowie was on a steady diet of cocaine, milk, and peppers when he recorded this masterpiece. That's not even a joke. Bowie himself had said he doesn't know how he lived through this period. Sufragette City is the lowkey best Bowie song ever Go ahead and @ me

^ Same problem in North Carolina. We have a really vibrant craft brewing scene going, but 90% of it is IPAs. Nothing against IPAs, but I'm mainly a lager guy.

Bjork is sort of similar to David Bowie in my mind, except Bowie was MUCH more prolific. Both put out albums that had 1 or 2 HOLY **** AMAZING songs of unbelievable brilliance on them and the rest were either filler or just stuff that my feeble mortal brain was beyond comprehending, with the exception of 1 or 2 MASTERPIECE albums top to bottom. In the case of Bjork it was "Post" and in the case of Bowie it was "Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders From Mars" and "Aladdin Sane".

A lot of unnecessary distinctions have been made over the years in beer making. For example, Pilsner originally meant a lager made in Plzeň, Chech Republic. Over the years it came to mean a lager with a light golden color. Really, it's just a lager.

I've long thought porters to be more sweet and stouts to be more... bitter, for lack of a better word, but I'm not sure if that's accurate. I'm hardly an expert in this field. When it comes to beer, I know what I like, and this is what I like:

I wish I could uninstall all the useless bloatware on my phone. Alternatively I could drop $600 to get a phone with pure Android, but that's WAY more than I'm willing to spend on a phone, so I guess I'm stuck with a bunch of useless bloatware sucking up my resources.

I enjoy a good stout or porter (Poles don't tend to make stouts, but we do make some delicious porters), but, generally speaking, I drink 1 stout or porter and I'm done, I can't really drink any more without forcing myself to. On the other hand, I can drink lagers all day... which is both a blessing and a curse.

You definitely need to do the pocket circuit mini-game. It's super fun and SHOCKINGLY in-depth. That's part of what makes Yakuza 0 so great. Some of the mini-games have so much depth to them they could be their own game. Yakuza 0 would be a terrific game on the strength of its mini-games alone, never mind the gripping, emotional, roller coaster ride that is the main story. The game has so much quality content that it's honestly almost too much.
