Fuck, you got really lucky. There were so many aspects of that whole situation that you could've died from, even just the ladder.

For someone like me that was trying to maximize facilities in a minimum amount of ship sections I'd love for there to be more clear info out there

Tell my wife I said... "Hello".

Oh man, one time I decided to replay Saints Row 4 randomly around Christmas a few years ago. For some reason completely unknown to me, unplanned, I just started playing and... for the next two days I didn't stop or play or do anything else, I just did... everything. I 100% completed the game in some weird fever dream session.

I don't even like the game that much! I love SR2 and 3, but I haven't even 100%'d those! It wasn't hard to do at all, but it still stands out to me as a weird achievement that I just sort of... accidentally ended up doing for reasons beyond my understanding. I guess the game was addicting, somehow.

We love you, Bender!

To be honest, after high school it just either doesn't seem like most people I know my age are very religious at all either way, or otherwise it doesn't come up.

I haven't had anyone give me shit for it, personally, I don't take offense to online meme bashing, everybody gets it

I'd say I'm agnostic, but my parents also didn't force religion on me, my dad is Catholic, and my mom is Thai Buddhist, and I view the Buddhist ideology to strive for being satisfied without material as an honorable goal. I feel as if I believe that attaining that mindset really is nirvana, and I don't think you need to be particularly religious to think that's possible.

I think video games' volatility and ties to specific hardware and issues of bugs and technical problems hold them back from being the best medium.

Almost all other kinds of art are much more easily preserved in their original form and have more longevity and deliverance of artistic intent.

It's about time to rewatch Avatar, isn't it...

That's an extremely difficult situation to deal with. I'm glad you were able to get some help. It's very easy to spiral down and sometimes you might feel like you deserve that spiral, getting out can be a real climb.

God, yes, they did such a good job on the show. MASSIVE SPOILERS, but I loved how they handled the scene with Joel and the doctors. They cut it off, leaving it ambiguous whether he kills them or not, meanwhile in the game the player is given the ability to kill them, but is not forced to. It translates that perfectly.

Absolutely. There are a few studios I love so much that I know what they produce I'll enjoy well enough to find it worth it, and so I'll watch a gameplay trailer or two to get a baseline understanding of the type of game I should expect, and as soon as I'm satisfied by the premise, that's it.

I wait for release and explore around the possibilities myself and wonder things, and test things, and get mad that I didn't realize I could do a thing the whole time, but it's really just an awesome way to experience a game.

Of course, this only works if I trust that the studio will put out a baseline of quality and expected type of gameplay. If a game is of questionable quality money becomes a larger issue than ideal experience.
