I like them both for different enough reasons, but I'm a Vinny-level gaming optimist, so whatever.

Witcher 3 had solid gameplay, even though you got what you needed to play so early. My answer for that was turning up the difficulty. By the time I was at the highest difficulty, any fight with any monster was something I had to be laser-focused for or I'd get wrecked. The tension made any fight I survived satisfying, especially if I was manipulating weaknesses to stay alive like Geralt would. In MGSV, I could bullshit my way to victory, but the number of tools available to do so make it meaningful and entertaining. Sadly, I had to actively handicap myself because the game got so easy, forcing myself to try for higher ranks that I'd normally ignore, and sometimes not using that insanely OP rocket punch. Christ, that thing is a win button, if I may be so bold as to sound like I'm fourteen.

Both have good stories (the Witcher had a better, more understandable arc, MGSV had that fun Kojima-crazy).

Witcher 3's side stuff was better written, better realized, and consistently entertaining. MGSV's side stuff was repetitive, but again, the crazier-by-the-minute tools available are what made it fun.

I'm at 135 or so hours in each game, but I have one mission left in MGSV to s-rank and I'm done forever. Witcher 3 I'm playing the new expansion, which is effing amazing, and can't wait for the next. It's been a damn good year for games, yall.

Dude, a janitor! I'm super serious, I've been trying get a job as a janitor where I live for forever. I actually would like to write books (or whatever) for a living, but working at a cleaning job, especially one where I work alone, would mean tons of time to think about my writing, to plan ahead, to go through stories and make sure they work.

Although the point for me would be the time to think so that I can later on not have a dead-end job. Funny how your awful job is what I've been trying to get into for months and months now. Before this two weeks of unemployment for me, I worked at an Amazon warehouse, which was a sh*thole full of lazy, creepy, horny, selfish people. The first thing I did after the car accident that forced me to look for other work was start looking for janitor / cleaning positions.

As others have mentioned, "hot garbage" is with me til the day I expire. Also, Ryan's "nightmare factory" is a sparingly used favorite - I like it too much to use often, I want it to have oomph. Somehow I think "sadness factory" will be used by me sooner or later, too.

Basically, that you'll have to pay for Windows 10 or crack it when there's one available. I bought a cheap extra Windows 8 code from G2A.com for like $35 for any future PC builds I do, but those prices skyrocketed after Windows 10 was available (I bought it because I figured that would happen). I think they're around $60 now, which is still a decent price to make a system legit and avoid possible annoyances down the line.

I had a problem with the 360 controller not being recognized when I first installed, but all I had to do was uninstall / reinstall the drivers manually, so no biggie. Other than that, I've had exactly 0 problems that were Win10 specific.

I'm finished with my main game, but a while back I started selling my plants. I don't need a ton unless I'm doing specific research, and even then I can keep above 500 of the minor plants and sell the rest. Now that I also have the double plant pick-up upgrade, I try to get as many plants in the field as possible. Getting 20 of any plant with the upgrade and selling them for 500 / 1000 GMP each means that grabbing up those makes up for deployment costs almost immediately, and getting more is straight profit.

I just wish I didn't screw up early and miss the prisoner I needed for that upgrade - I would have never, ever been hurting for cash if I had gotten him/her when I should have. The game definitely kind of screws you in making some of those necessary skills obtainable only through completely optional, occasionally annoying effort. Minor complaint.

Sooner or later I'll make a new one with all those nice words I've gotten more recently.

General selfishness annoys me to absolutely no end, but that's completely rational. Actually, now that I think about, almost all of my daily / weekly random bits of anger come from the unchecked selfishness of others.

I'm at my most irrational after even a minor screw-up at a fast food place (I rarely go to begin with because as I get older all that garbage food doesn't leave my slowly more worthless body without a ton of work). I know these people are at the near-dredges of workplace society, and they sound high as a kite half the time, and I should feel sorry for them for having to work at McDonald's or whatever to begin with, but instead I get incredibly pissed for a good couple minutes at ANY mistake. I worked retail for so long and NEVER made these kinds of top-notch stupid errors. Who in their right minds gives me two motherf***ing McGriddle buns when I ask for "just egg and cheese, no meat" - who wants to eat a pair of tiny mediocre faux-pancakes for $5!?

Hah! I reminded myself of the multiple incidents of that last example and honestly made myself a little upset.

I'm glad I'm done with pointless internet anger, at the very least. My last incident was on GB during the Deadly Premonition ER, in which Ryan and Brad seemed to be having the worst time, and appeared actively angry. It annoyed me to no end that they kept sounding like whiny children, but I was just upset that my entertainment wasn't 100% what I expected, which was ridiculous. It was so embarrassing that those posts are the top-of-mind reminder when I get mad at something online, and I end up deleting whatever dumb half comment I just wrote and say: "I've got better things to do with my time than write this."

I used it as my main OS for a few months a few years back, but it meant booting to Windows whenever I had to do anything important (involving programs that didn't work or didn't work well in Linux). It was such a pain that I simply stuck to Windows and after some time got rid of it altogether.

I toy in my head with the idea of installing it on a laptop, but with the now-incredible usefulness of cloud storage stuff for my writing and other projects, the idea floats away very quickly - Windows has everything I need and is easier to use for me at this point. If I see something come along that Linux is amazing at and is useful to me personally, I'll 100% install it on some random extra machine I buy or build.

I just bought this with no intention of playing it since I'll just watch GB play it. That coverage alone is worth $10, a fraction of the price I'd pay for enough movies to cover that amount of entertainment, and with a stronger chance of being not even remotely as entertained by the films. I want this Tim Follin fella to have my support, for sure.
