No, you see, you got it BECAUSE of these conditions. The master of the house was granting you the additional skill, patience, and ability you lacked without their assistance.

In all seriousness, I'm stoked to see what the Switch 2 becomes with the variety of titles coming its way. I'm also super curious how Cyberpunk will do on the platform. So many more "mature" titles that aren't THAT kind of mature.

I heard someone say in a streamer chat that this was a great SoP if you’re 35 and older.

Grammarly premium (regrets. I've got a few) loves to try and rewrite stuff. No, faceless, amoral AI, I do not want to use "must" for every require statement, nor do I want you to rearrange everything just because I used "just." Also, please stop introducing typos when correcting words.

Unless Boston’s pawn laws have changed, I’d imagine so.

Worked at GameStop at the time in Boston. This was just part of the job. Most customers hated it, but I did get a call from the assistant prosecutor to the DA once asking for the info, so I guess it came in handy?

You gonna be playing at all post-launch? Linking up might be fun, if you’ve the time. (Time. lol. What is it.)

Not sure we matched up, but maybe! You gonna be playing post-launch? I’d be happy to link up if the times work.

Did you ever do random matchmaking, and if so, did you come across a Xiant? That was me. I met a really good player I hoped it had to be someone I knew

They pay you, the work is consistent, and massive budget cuts don’t fall out of the sky.
