    My wife also picked this up for us over the holiday and I've been getting stuck in.  I know that there's supposed to be a dozen possible solutions to problems but my idiot lizard brain still goes in Video game Shoot Stuff Mode whenever I see a badguy and inevitably I wind up pulling aggro for every typhon on the level at once and promptly eating shit.  But I'm doing the no typhon abilities run and so far most of my skill points are stacked in weapons+stealth, which only works when you can pick them off one at a time.

     

    (also I somehow got all the way to deep storage without getting a gloo cartridge fab plan? I am starting to suspect I missed it early in the game and am now suffering for it.)

     

    edit:

    Spoiler

    I just looked it up and they're in morgan's office safe.  Jesus.

    My two primary social networks lately are twitter and mastodon.  Twitter's only still on my list due to network effect but a lot of my core online social circles have switched over to mastodon, which socially feels like something between livejournal and usenet, but formatted like twitter.

    I saw the star wars! I liked the colors and the shot compositions and the general vibe of like, all the characters and how into being their characters they were.  Rose was the absolute best. Purple-haired Ellie Sattler was the absolute second best.  It was a super pretty movie, could not get enough of the 'wow what a great picture I'm looking at' feeling I got from it.

     

    The story criticisms made in this thread make sense, I guess if I went back and saw the movie again and tried to find some sensible explanation for the decisions the characters were making I might be confused by that but none of kept me from 'believing' the characters and their motivations.  The emotional core of the movie was strong enough, for me at least, to stay invested despite narrative weirness.

    So I just got this for ps4, playing through the singleplayer campaign, and tried a multiplayer round (attrition mode, I think) and actually had a lot of fun in multiplayer.  I didn't feel like I was dead weight, killed some titans and some other players, and jumped from level 1 to level 4 at the end of the round.  I think their matchmaking paired me with a bunch of other scrubs like me but I had no objection.  If any other thumbs are still playing, hit me up!

    For me, it's Breath of the Wild by volume and Diaries of a Spaceport Janitor for game that made the biggest impression on me for world that I just want to soak in.  I'm not sure if it 100% counts because I think it came out last year, though?
