Anyone who has two brain cells to rub together should be unnerved at the idea of national secrets of the world's largest military being loose and unaccounted for, to be honest

I feel like being in possession of that amount of incredibly sensitive national security data (according to the unsealed indictments) ought to have been no-knock warrant territory, personally

What she did is not at all "essentially doing the exact same thing". At all. I'm not saying she's not probably guilty of some crime at some point because most of our politicians are corrupt, but you are absolutely misinformed if you think she kept hundreds of classified documents, showed them off to people, and lied to federal investigators about it.

Idk how many more qualifications you need, really.

Two massive differences between TOTK and Diablo 4 though - TOTK is not intended as a live service game with (presumably) years of intense support and extended development post launch, and TOTK is a first party game developed by the most successful video game console company to ever exist - meaning it's an investment into selling more of their consoles. But mainly the first one. Diablo 4 is going to have seasons of content and according to one developer, 2 DLCs and prolonged support. So it'll probably end up costing an order of magnitude more than TOTK to produce/support.

For me the sweet spot would be itemizing those $25 cosmetic sets so you can buy pieces of them at a time for a couple of bucks, even if piecemeal it's a couple bucks more in total. I'm not likely to buy a $25 set but I'll buy those 6 items at $5 a piece every time.

Personally, I am okay with there being cosmetic content that is entirely unattainable without a cash purchase, so long as there is still cosmetic content attainable without microtransactions and the purchased content doesn't yield any other advantage.

I can accept that I can't have everything without buying it, far more than I could accept the standard price of a video game going up to $100-$120.

As long as cosmetics can also drop as part of playing the game, I don't care if the shop's charging people $25 for a gear set, because I don't need to buy it.

Hey now. Calling him a game show host is diminishing his filmography significantly. He was also an extra in Home Alone 2.

My first ever was Dragon Quest I (originally called Dragon Warrior), which you can get and play on Android/iOS or emulate, depending on what kind of JRPG you're looking for. Dragon Quest XI on newer consoles is also a terrific classic-style game in the genre.
