Somehow even less useful, since the source can’t even be verified.

My point is it serves no purpose here.

So explicitly not an expert.

Ah, but they don’t know about the anti-wooden whistle wax I dipped my ribbon in!

Quick way to end up with Calvin-ball magic. “Oh, but the red ribbon disintegrates if I toot my wooden whistle, making it doubly weak to fire!”

What exactly has he done to warrant considering this? He’s a yt star, not a privacy expert.

The opening is always a bit naturally DDOS’d. It’ll smooth out.

Stumbles ass first into giving creative control of their property to one of the most devoted and talented studios of the decade, leading to a wildly successful and popular game.

“That’s great! Let’s give it to someone else!” - some stupid ass exec who can only see ahead one financial quarter at a time.

The fact your seeking feedback suggests no, but it was certainly a bad move, both as a DM and as an uncle. Punishing anyone, though especially children, without explaining why is mean. You have a responsibility to clearly communicate problems with others as an authority figure at the table and in their life. I don’t necessarily think the punishment was unreasonable, but if it’s not explained to them, it just comes across as arbitrary and vindictive.

Imo, the best way to handle issues like that is to set the rules and consequences, making them clear to everyone, and to be consistent in their application. Letting people off or being vindictive will just exacerbate things.

And I’ll voice mine.

Mine is neither, but go off.

Nah, I think I will.

Lol, the cognitive dissonance of whining about capitalism because their vidya game got a little more expensive. Not only is the entitlement and hypocrisy off the charts, there are so many ways to play games for cheap and/or free, the criticism is entirely moot. Don’t like the price a company is asking for for an entirely optional commodity? Don’t fucking pay it. It’s not that hard.

Maybe ask them to block your account? That would keep them from seeing anything you talk about, though it’d also block any other communication here if that’s a problem.

You already answered your own question, bud.

it doesn’t make sense TO ME. Based on what I was taught

Why do you think other people are different than you?

Hah, I see. Thanks!

Eli5?

I can imagine exactly how they’d say this XD

I did find my way to the nexus’ collections (though thank you for the tip), which would’ve gone smoothly if I hadn’t fumbled a fresh install beforehand with an issue I already addressed in the first install.

Not a great feeling when you realize the last 10 hours of frustration are entirely self inflicted XD

There is a continuing story, but the first two are very different games, even from each other. They’re certainly fun, but won’t really be indicative of anything other than if you like the story or not, which you could mostly gather from wikis or video summaries. All that to say - it likely won’t change your experience of 3 if you don’t play the previous two directly.
