So what's the deal with this lady? Because I follow her, not that closely, and her stuff seems pretty fine and good. But also I rarely see anyone, even on the left, sharing her stuff. Makes me worry I missed a memo and she's super transphobic or something.

The actions your character takes (picking up objects, looting bodies, crafting, etc.) are realistically slow for the most part. Embrace it. A lot of people hate it but for me I think it's a game that was intentionally designed to be taken slowly and is better for it.

Don't try to experiment or find novel solutions during missions, just do exactly what the game tells you. It's an open world until you're in a mission, at which point you're forced onto a very narrow path. Feels like the developers didn't want you to think or get creative, they wanted you to control your character as if he's an actor in a movie performing a role. There's a single case that I know of where you can successfully go "off-script" but by the time you get there the game will have trained you to strictly follow its orders, so you probably won't find it.

I don't know about you, but for me I loved the early hours of the game when money was scarce. I felt like I really had to make decisions between upgrading my ammo pouch, or saving up to buy a varmint rifle so I could get perfect pelts, or upgrading the camp so I could swap horses there. Unfortunately I soon found my first gold bar and sold it for a ton of money, after which money was almost a complete non-factor. If you enjoy games where resources are scarce and you have to make tough decisions, avoid selling high-value items. It's way too easy to become extremely wealthy. In addition, this ability to get rich quick really clashes with the game's storyline, creating some noticeable narrative incoherence.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy your time with it. It's by far the worst game I've ever loved.

Dammit I knew proton wasn't super special I just didn't want all my eggs in the google basket. I guess I have to move to tuta now but I've still got more than a year left on my proton sub

Yeah I watched it in three or four sittings, but only because I had obligations. I absolutely could have sat through all four hours in one go.

Jenny Nicholson's video about the failed Disney World Star Wars LARP hotel is four hours long and when it's over you'll wish it was longer.

There are so many missions where 47 can successfully escape by just leaving the area and walking down the street (or, in at least one case, riding a bike out of the area). 47 is the CEO Eliminator for sure

Since they're only allowing one keffiyeh per order, anyone know if they will cancel my orders if I wait in the line multiple times to buy multiple keffiyehs? Wanted to buy three as gifts

good to know, I realize now it's been quite a few years since I've used it and I didn't know that

The best way to see them all for free is annualcreditreport.com. It's jointly operated by Experian, Equifax, and TransUnion to comply with some federal law that says they each have to give you a free report every year. You only get one of each annually, so if you want to keep tabs on your credit more frequently you can get one now from Experian, wait four months, get one from Equifax, wait four months, get one from TransUnion and repeat.

To be clear, this is the app you'd use on a macbook or imac or whatever they call their desktop computers these days. It's not the app for iphone or ipad
