It’s frustrating in the gaming world. Been Xbox die hard and Gamepass was starting to grow on me… PRICE HIKE. I was interested in the Rog Ally… SO EXPENSIVE. Foolishly shelled out for the Destiny 2 game expansion and it’s just as bad if not worse then Lightfall.

Flashback Friday – Empowered volume 12 | Pixelated Geek
