Dude thats crazy. I havent paod full price for a game in years, have a little patience and you can get a bunch more games for that much.
Games are always on sale.
Different industry for me, but we just call this professional development. As long as whatever is being read or studied can be related to improving your value to the company, performance at the job, or even learning to perform another job at the company, its not only allowed but encouraged. This of course comes with the caveat that you still need to get all your work done, which it sounds like you do. If anyone hassled me I would just say “this is part of my professional development” and that would be the end of it. I even enter this stuff in my performance reviews, and at my prior job it was expected to have something (and they would budget for me to take a training or class, typically of my choosing).
As I recall the powers combined with shooting was really new to the genre, along with the ways you combine them. Lighting enemies on fire who would run to water to put themselves out, then hitting water with electricity to zap a group was creative stuff. The way big daddies acted like a boss fight you could tackle in a bunch of different ways was significant too. The options there and with many other obstacles gave player agency for how to navigate most non-linear levels that was a real rarity. For instance, those turrets - have you shcoked them and hacked them? What about freezing them and hacking them? Or using hypnosis on enemies to make them fight the turret? But hacking all those turrets makes for a great distraction in a big daddy fight. And breaking the turrets gives you more ammo.
At the time most shooter were “go here shoot this, go there shoot that” and hell, thats still really common. This game really shook it up, even if it drew inspiration from thief and system shock, it did a lot to improve and advance them. Combined with the unique environment, smart story line, and interesting characters there’s plenty of reason it sticks in people’s memories as an all time classic.
Dammit but I thought I was as young as I feel!
Wait… That’s still old. Shit.
It also sucks that when you buy a game to own it often isnt maintained, so upgrading your phone or sometimed even just OS updates will break the game with no fix, no recourse. I got real fucking tired of losing my purchases to that shit.
Notably I played the ever living shit out of xcom enemy unknown and would have kept doing it too if it weren’t for this issue.
Cool, I’ve been wanting to play the new god of war but passed on it because of this bullshit. Time to put it back on my wishlist and … wait some more for a sale, which is never much of a discount with Sony
I never pay full price for a game.
Always running sales. If they aren’t just check history or set an alert on isthereanydeal and wait a bit.
Somehow this is less surprising than him being married in the first place.
Zuck is married?!
I don’t speak polish though so that makes it difficult and scary.

There is no locking yourself out of anything in this game. Everything is a very intentional design. Look closer, try everything.
Edit: Explore when you get stuck. Sometimes the way forward isn’t obvious.
Absolutely. Always be open to changing jobs if you need to, and always keep that option as a back up plan even if things are going well. Know that if you find a new job it may fix some things while introducing new problems, there is always some risk to doing so. If you aren’t in a rush to get out try to line something up that makes the change worthwhile - get a promotion out of it, or at least some pay raise or other benefit. Often times annual raises suck enough that many people need to get a new job to find a decent pay bump anyway, so it’s good to be looking for that. If you haven’t interviewed in awhile line a few up as practice too, so when you find something you’re more serious about it will go smoothly.
There’s five horsemen here
Shadow of the erdtree all the way. People bitched so much about it being too hard. Great DLC, was not that hard compared to other souls games (the final boss was a total bastard though holy shit I died a lot)
My main issue is a perspective thing - it felt like playing half assed fallout in space, in the sense that many questlines and stories felt very “been there, done that”. Its probably great if you haven’t played fallout 3 or new Vegas, but it just didn’t do much that was new beyond a coat of paint so I just got bored with it.
So my general understanding is that you can use a magnet to create an electrical current. Its like it pushes the electrons, like a paddle pushing water. So they coil a bunch of wire around a magnet and rotate the magnet, which moves the electrons in the wire and that gets you electrical power. But you need something to push that magnet around, so you attach that to a big ass fan and use steam to push the fan. That’s your turbine. Nuclear power is just using a hot rock to make the steam. Hydroelectric power uses a river to push the turbine. Wind power is doing the same thing, just uhhh, with wind.
To shreds you say?
Fuck exclusives that shit is cancer
