I convinced a friend who bought it for their backlog to start it yesterday instead of waiting.

The fact that Chipotle is cheaper than Burger King nowadays is absolutely wild to me.

Big same. I caught it in the middle of February after dodging it since day 1. And then I proceeded to take over 2 weeks to test negative. Hope your case is mild and passes quickly!

Wait, is this supposed to be a hit piece or an endorsement?

That's how I'm feeling with the latest FFXIV expansion. The story was kinda meh, but the combat encounters have been great, so it feels like around a 7-8 out of 10 to me overall. And yet everyone's dooming hard and saying the expac was horrible and review bombing it. It's wild.

Considering the safety cert system in the US is essentially "Trust me bro", I'd be more surprised if they were LEGAL in the EU.

In Shadows of Mordor, I did every sidequest, got every collectible, maxed out my skill tree completely. And just...stopped before the final boss. Literally the only thing in my quest log was "Defeat Sauron" and I just closed the game and never played again, lmao.

Also don't know if it counts because I play the game every week, but the story of FFXIV up through Endwalker is incredible, and will probably stick with me for many years to come.

Every now and then I think about Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. That game really sticks with you. It has one of my favorite instances of "story telling through gameplay" that I've ever experienced. Can't describe it without spoiling, but DAMN is it good.

I think I also prefer S1 because I started to see the formula for the storytelling a bit. Any time it feels like things are going too well, you KNOW it's not going to work out. I hadn't been conditioned to expect that yet in S1, so the twists hit really hard, but in S2 I was waiting for them lol.

While I think I prefer the 1st season personally, I also didn't find the pacing of S2 to actively bother me in the moment like it did for some people.
I think I would've enjoyed it MORE with a couple extra episodes (especially for Mel's storyline) but I still thought it was a phenomenal season.

Previously it was a grey area for me under the "remakes of previous mainline games" category but I guess it's mainline now.
To be fair, mainline vs spinoff wasn't a mark of quality for me. Link's Awakening DX for the GBC is one of my favorite Zelda games, and I was considering it a spinoff lol.

Huh, I never realized how much my definition of mainline fell outside the norm until looking it up just now. I always thought it was pretty much your big marquee releases like your OOT, TP, SS, with everything else being spinoffs. Never realized the Gameboy and 3DS games were considered mainline.

The only two I'm considering to be mainline Zeldas on it are BotW and TotK. I personally consider Echos of Wisdom to be a spinoff. And I don't consider HD remakes of older Zelda games to count either.
Probably could've been more specific in my initial wording.

Honestly, I find it very unlikely we're going to get a 3rd mainline Zelda on the Switch. We're probably gonna see a new console announced and released at least a year out from the next one. I AM curious whether they'll stick with open world format or move back to a more traditional Zelda structure.

Super relatable. I'm going through it now, and my 2nd monitor has 2-3 wiki tabs, and a bunch of tabs with various class builds at any given moment.

Christmas became much more enjoyable when I started proactively sending a Christmas list a month or two ahead of time.
I just list a bunch of random stuff I'd like that I'm not likely to go out of my way to buy (got a bidet this year).

If I understand the gripe correctly, it's because instead of having a single overleveled pokemon, your entire team is overleveled, and it removes the small amount of challenge was there.
I don't care because I don't play pokemon to be challenged, but I understand the reasoning.

Just finished a 100% playthrough of DQ11 earlier today, and I never changed off the option to play DQ8 music the entire playthrough. This song is just way too good as overworld music.

My friends and I were talking about the new cards after the expansion dropped. And every time someone was reading a new card's description I'd be like "Wait, lemme guess the first line. 'Flip a coin'".
