Reply to Buy PS5 or XBOX by swingingboyboy

I had both, ended up selling the PS5. Gamepass and the rewards points are excellent value for money, exclusives aren't as often as PS but that's set to improve.

Wangled 3 years of gamepass ultimate for less than $50 a year - for me it's a no-brainer.

How do you take off your pants? Do you drop trou, step out; do you unfasten, then proceed to step on the cuff/hem and raise your leg out; do you grab the bottom cuff with your hands and pull; do you sit?

Reply to What is fun about Death Stranding? by DrMcnasty4300

I think it's probably the small bursts of reward in the form of the "delivery completed!" screens. Personally, I tried it twice. The first time I gave up at the end of ep2, the second time ep7-ish I think. I really liked the game engine and the controls were great. But unlike MGSV (which I really enjoyed except for the fact it was essentially unfinished), I found myself mildly irritated by the constant deliveries, and found the enemies more just an annoyance than a threat. The story was also just a bit weird/thin for me (and I liked the MGS story, more or less).

If you like multi-player games, choce the one that your friends are on. Or look at the games you want to play and see which system has more of them then the other.

Some context might help. This bit of dialogue is from a conversation with the lady in question who is from the New California Republic - one of the few coherent nations to have risen from the ashes of the Great War that ultimately ended in an apocalyptic nuclear exchange. She is generally defensive of the NCR, even if she spends most of her time on its frontiers, and will tell a curious Courier (the player) that the NCR generally has the right idea. She summarizes that point nicely by saying that even with its faults, should the NCR be under threat, she'd happily be on the NCR side of the line.

But she is also very much a realist who makes a living on the frontier running caravans, noting that the Legion (a coherent state that controls much of what would have been the southwestern US including almost everything on the other side of the Colorado River and which is in the middle of a years-long cold war with the NCR) would be able to provide far better security on the roads. This, it turns out, is a deeply personal observation because when you meet her, her caravan had been ambushed and killed in part because the NCR couldn't provide adequate security.

If you keep pressing her on this point, clearly seeing that her devotion is far from blind or total she says "I'm not some blind, flag-saluting do-as-they-will NCR lover. They're family, but let me tell you what family means. You ever had a brother? Some dumbass younger brother, say, who knocked up the pastor's daughter, can't hold a job, and his home-away is a jail cell? That's the NCR. Their compass is spinning, all the time. They try to put their stake in everything. Nobody's dick is that long, not even Long Dick Johnson, and he had a fucking long dick. Hence the name."

Emphasis mine. It is not a prurient statement, but a concise use of crudity used to give her opinion in the form of a metaphor: the NCR is reaching too far trying to control New Vegas.
