I should probably go to bed at this point. I typed up a short story of my arduous attempts at defending an outpost in the STALKER modpack GAMMA and how my game crashed when I turned in the quest. Sent off that post and woe-is-me, the entire text didn’t get submitted and I didn’t have it saved in copy-paste. It’s just so ironically fitting.

So ya, what’s something you’d like to ramble a bit about?

    I’m just… tired of these “pre-order” stuff. Like you’ll be sure that you’ll get a product that’s worth it when the thing comes out.

      I refuse to pre-order stuff. As things stand I won’t even buy a game in the very first few months (with a few exceptions) because I know I would be paying to be a beta tester.

        I am paradoxically okay with winding up paying to be a beta tester! …if it’s for a tiny indie studio doing something weird, interesting, and experimental where I can join a Discord and talk to people about it. That’s a fun experience. To hell with paying a major corporation for the privilege of being any form of sucker.

      99% of people just dont care unfortunately, preorders, microtransactions seeping into everything, all these new games coming out unfinished and buggy, knowing that most people will buy them regardless of how bad they run.

      People will join the bandwagon saying a game is bad then buy it a day later too i noticed
