Patient gamers unite! I wait until that game I want hits AT LEAST -75% off.

The only exception I’ve had for that rule for myself in recent memory is for Monsterhunter games.

You look hard enough (or maybe not very hard at all) and you can see which developers and companies can’t do launch days very well, or release too early. Blizzard/Activision, CDProject Red, Ubisoft, and Microsoft come to mind.

It’s the smaller to mid-size companies that have something to prove that release something more polished. Not always the case, but you’ve gotta stand out somehow.

I’m getting strong “blue steel” vibes.

Agreed. It was great game because the story, but I can barely remember anything about the gameplay aside from the interactions with Elizabeth. Sadly, my final moments were destroyed by a visual bug - right at the climax of the story near the end of the game Elizabeth’s hair inexplicably stopped rendering… She was as bald as Sinead O’Connor. It kinda killed the vibe.

Oh hey, hay čxʷ q̓ə for the reply! That’s good to know what the equivalent quality is. I juuuust discovered a good, high quality instant coffee that is decent. It’s called Davidoff. Pricey at anywhere from $15 - $20(!) CAD for 100g.

I’m trying to avoid Nestle products on principle, and I find the Tim Horton’s original blend way too high acidity/bitterness but it’s okay in a pinch.

I’ll take a look at more of the big box stores you mentioned.

You’re right, I can’t even access the site outside of Australia. However, if I’m ever in Australia - I’ll look it up!
