You gotta be true to yourself but a couple extra minutes, if even, to boot the game because of a launcher that’s integrated into steam isn’t that much of a biggie.

Shit after you launch if the first time I’m pretty sure you can skip the launcher popping up, may have to use a command line argument in steam not sure but it makes it so the launcher is basically non-existent at that point.

Anyways I don’t need to convince you, fine stranger, but I really would be remiss to not at least push another person to play one of my favorite games of all time.

Fuck rockstar but it’s 20 bucks for GTA:O

Fwiw

You’re robbing yourself of an excellent experience. Like, I get how annoying that shit is but RDR2 is one of the best games I’ve ever played. Still go back to it on occasion.

The world is so well crafted and believable and beautiful honestly there’s not many games that get me to just stop and stare at the scenery but RDR2 has that effect on you.

Bots probably already know that though because of what they’ve been trained on. Actually … Let’s see Gemini do it for us.

Not too bad.

I will vouch that even without the Phantom Liberty expansion Cyberpunk 2077 is fantastic. Phantom Liberty is awesome though, the story is intriguing and the new area is really well done. Everytime I visit Dogtown in that game I’m always like “damn this place is a fucking trash warzone,” the devs really nailed the vibes.

Anyways absolutely amazing game, and it’s half off it probably won’t go below half off for another year I’m guessing. Like you, I got into it after some major updates so I didn’t experience all the crap at release - to me the game is a masterpiece.

I don’t think you know the definition of the words “literal” and “communism” if that’s what you think.

Jesus Christ what is wrong with people… Microsoft giving in to a clear troll, surprised they didn’t just lock and ignore that shit and move on.

You can’t really keep them from getting back up, they won’t stay on their sides perfectly balanced because of the curves on their legs. Even so they could “kick” their legs to push them to be able to get back up.

Just in case you’re wondering in the future if that will work.

That’s awesome, best wishes! Sorry about your medical situation, I get stress/anxiety myself so can commiserate.

I’m not down voting you and I applaud chasing your dreams, but a well paying, stable, fully remote job is not something to give up lightly.

Maybe that’s why people are down voting you? Not that they should but people be people.

Personally, I’m just some schlub on the internet, but I’d strongly advise you to reconsider leaving that kind of financial stability. At the very least you’ll need a pretty good amount of money saved up to live off of. Most indie games aren’t successful, most indie game companies fail. There’s a gigantic risk for you and a huge lost opportunity cost (your income & benefits, particularly benefits like health insurance if you’re in the USA) just to get started and on top of that you have to make something people want to buy.

Not doubting your talents but people would kill to be in your spot (remote, well paid, full time) - I’d think long and hard about the risk you’re accepting.

I do, however, wish you well and hope you succeed beyond your wildest expectations! Just something to chew on.

they should have [thing that already exists]
