This post is amusing proof of the coincidence of thoughts in independent minds:

I have cited this exact example many times to many people for the same reason that you have.

Won’t someone please tackle cutting zip ties, peeling off plastic protective sheets, and digging your hands into the sand.

Sounds vaguely like my failed attempts to have fun in a CRPG.

It is as though someone took a possibly enjoyable combat system and ritually drowned it in an ocean of talking, inventory management, and collectible pieces of paper containing bad writing.

This is quite a brilliant way of describing it.

At least one high profile government official will become infamous for recommending you “warsh your food before eatin’ it”.

You’ll need to be as close to your screen as she is.

If your game doesn’t have wildly player-biased action-canceling I probably at least somehow hate you.

I think everyone can still agree that freely mixing combat milfs is inherently risky.
