The BBB is a bullshit company just like J. D. Power and Associates.

It felt like that was the intent. In the intro you even see a guy in power armor jump off a building and when you get your first suit there’s a little “I’m here to kick ass and chew bubblegum” sort of intro. Or at least that’s how I remember it.

The dumbing down of character interaction is what made me feel like it wasn’t quite “real Fallout” and trying to break into the mainstream. It worked. People I know that do NOT have the patience for New Vegas or 3 are super into the franchise now. Despite giving up after the “read all these terminals errybody ded lol” launch of 76. (They went back to 4).

Also the burning desire to answer rhetorical questions that I know are rhetorical. Or to point out their sarcasm isn’t as clever as they think and look like a jerk.

Resident Evil after OG RE:2 and Code Veronica. Maybe they set the bar too high for me. Nemesis was frustrating as hell and stressed me out. Plus, the mystery was gone, they just beat you over the head with the storytelling leaving nothing to the imagination. Cautious exploration and wonder turned into a frantic, aggravating hide and seek with a yelling OP monster.

Nearly any game where your weapon breaks. Some handle it well, but most don’t. Feels like crappy, low effort, artificial difficulty to me.

Mortal Kombat. It was interesting at first with the break from sprites but coming from SF:2 and SNK fighters the controls seemed incredibly awkward and the lack of frames for animations felt off.

I also remember trying it for the first time and not understanding the hype or why it was so expensive. When I worked in a restaurant later on it finally made sense. I was on the line then and used it in sandwiches. Their description is dead on… I mostly treat it like plant butter. But I’ll eat it straight up now that I’ve developed a taste for it.

It’s been backdoored for a long while. Epic has a similar issue. Two factor is useless. They don’t change your email because they don’t need to and/or don’t want you to close your account.

Narcissistic personality types gravitate toward this type of thing. Found that out the difficult way.

Yeah that’s a squat pot.

Knew a calico that would do this. She’d hop in the kitchen sink, chirp at me to turn on the tap and let it pour on her head while she “drank” and purred. She was… interesting.

Our current ancient void will occasionally force her way into the bathroom and jump in the shower while yelling. Makes for an exciting morning.

Spot on for my Dad. Don't tell parents anything at all about personal things anymore. I'm not even vegan by any means. They just sneak lactose into everydamnthing as a sweetener and I prefer not taking earth-shattering shits every time I somehow miss it and being in pain when I wake up.
