Don't feed those bottom feeders/I mean scalpers. Eff them.
Keep trying with the Steam Deck. I've also been confused at times but when it works its effing brilliant.
I'll just wait for a price drop before getting it.
Hey Steph, apparently the devs for Fight Knight have a rather toxic history with abuse allegations. It may be something to look into just in case.
that's unfortunate.
I think you are dead wrong about Bloober Team, as someone with mental health issues I for one did not think The Medium did a "shockingly poor job" of handling those issues at all, for me that games writing impressed the hell out of me and i'm super pumped for the remake of SH2 and I for one think they will knock it out of the park and I think you will be eating crow when that game comes out. For me SH2 was good but not as good as part 3 so I don't have it on a pedestal like you do(I think some of the voice-acting is kinda wooden and some of the dialogue is a bit naff and the control scheme hasn't really aged that well IMO) so I don't have unrealistically high expectations of a remake to begin with, I have plenty of faith in Bloober Team and I think you should at least give the remake a chance. P.S. I see my first post got removed, I hope that means I got through to you with what I was saying before.
