I'm going to do these periodically.

Title kinda says all.

I'll have my own reply later.

Special weekly question:

What do you like most about 2023's repertoire of video games?

Honestly, you make Borderlands 3 sound very interesting and I... don't mind the whole "social media influencer villain" trope. And I don't mind a game that tries to get newcomers and casual players 'cause, honestly, I'm kind-of a casual player myself (or, at least, I mainly play on easy mode a lot for the story or just to chill). And yeah, the gameplay loops seem to be what I'm looking for.

"I'm at a point on it where I can boot it up and shut my brain off and relax for a few hours so that is no e too."

Yeah, that's what I've been looking for lately.

Not wanting to totally sell it as a perfect game. I am playing it through proton so it might be better on Windows but it's the buggiest of all the games in the series.

Oh, also purples and legendaries have a greater drop rate so you are constantly upgrading with fun gimmicky guns that make you feel like a badass. Forgot to mention that.
