I’ve been an Android user since the beginning, started with the G1. But I’m starting to think about Apple. I have no other Apple products but I just don’t care about phone tech any more. I want a long lasting phone that launches apps, texts, and makes phone calls.

Which phone is it? My pixel 5a’s camera just gave out and I’m in the market.

For me it was too long. I finished it with all the DLC for the first time a few days ago. I generally enjoyed it but was also quite happy to be done with it when I finally finished it at around the 110 hour mark. I actually took a break after Hearts of Stone and played a couple of shorter games before I came back to finish off Blood and Wine.

I haven’t yet played a single player game that I thought needed to be more than 60 hours no matter how engaging or well made it was.

Yeah, the ones I still play are PS4 games - Overcooked and Lovers in A Dangerous Space Time.

Very few people want to play a single game forever. But a lot of people are willing to hop from Gaas game to Gass game.

I’ve been in Plus for quite a few years now. I used to be able to get it for $40 around Black Friday. That was an acceptable price. If I can get it for $60 this year I may re-up. There’s no way in heck I’m paying $80.

I ditched them in 2019 after the Blitzchung “liberate Hong Kong” controversy.

The whole point of Counter Strike is to be Counter Strike.

I don’t think there’s a backlash against shorter games. Ubisoft found a formula that has kept people playing their games for long periods of time, and if anything, there’s a backlash against these long, collect-a-thons.

Yeah, I feel that way about all entertainment. I don’t want to be watching 8 hour movies, reading a book for six months, or sitting through 20 seasons of a TV show. There are so many entertainment options, it seems crazy to spend so much time on one thing.

I’m currently enjoying Witcher 3 but at the 80 hour mark I’m seriously considering finishing Hearts of Stone and then taking a break before tackling Blood and Wine.

What breaks? The screen?

I think the fragility is either overstated or there were some lemons in the batch. I’ve had mine since day one, don’t treat it with kid gloves and have never had an issue.
