... _was_ there anything between WW1 and WW2 to win? For that matter, I don't recall us supporting the Reds in the Russian Civil War.

Not that any of that is the point, of course, but.

Either way, some players are going to use it as a high score table unless it prevents you from completing the game (and if it does, you're likely to have other problems unless the game is very short).

If it's trying to be some late-game rug pull, well, I've played games like that too (on a lesser scale) and it seems easy to mess that up in various ways.

I think as long as the "charged with" is something that happens during, like, the endgame rating sequence (like when Metal Gear Solid gives you stats on kills, detections, etc., and then your code name), it could work.

At an office party where there was karaoke, a former co-worker once did an amazing Jekyll-and-Hyde rendition of "I Kissed A Girl" with relatively normal vocals for the verses and vocals like this on the chorus.

I am still subscribed to Crypto-Gram, but am woefully behind at actually reading it these days. Cool place to be linked, though!

I read this to mean that you are in favor of the World Wide Web, which, yes, me too.

I'd say "I grew up thinking Dravus was normal" except even growing up it was pretty clear that parts of Dravus are not particularly normal. And it doesn't even make the steepest-of lists!

The demo as presented looks like someone said "it runs like a dream" and nobody stopped to wonder in what sense.

But maybe after an adjustment period $100 becomes the new mental anchor point and it's not any harder to pull the trigger on those than it is now?

Even as it is, I suppose I buy very few AAA games at full price ... the most recent three might be the FFT remaster (if that even counts), Dawntrail (granted, an MMO expansion), and Diablo IV? Hmm, maybe a couple of Switch things too.

I'm trying to get better about it (even without a price increase), but I have disposable income and I buy stuff speculatively and then don't get around to playing it much (granted, often not at full price).

Oh no, WTF?

Is this like related to how I find social deduction games fascinating to watch and think about but how I'm fairly trash at playing them well?
