Base game is free now. Beyond that, unless she mentions any dlc by name, this is the situation for a steam gift card. The game itself promotes other dlc on launch. The content varies a lot in terms of price and amount of included content. The bigger ones (non-sale) are about $40 USD. Down to about $5 for the small ones. Pretty sure a decent sale is going right now too.

This isn’t new? I’ve seen splash less and no water, or both for years now.
- Comment on Adult gamers of Lemmy how do you find time to game without being exhausted of the screen? 1 month ago:
Lol…you don’t! Welcome to adulthood and having real world responsibilities. For me it’s turned into maybe 1-2hrs a night at best. Weekends I can sometimes get a bit more in.

Why not use capacitors instead of lithium? Sure they won’t hold a charge nearly as long, but they also charge in a fraction of the time too.
- Comment on TikTok now lets parents see their teen's follower/following list, block access during certain hours 2 months ago:
Hey kid, give me the phone…glance through followers.
Cool.
Why are we trying to turn parents into spies. Just talk to your kids. Check the devices on occasion. Check them anyways for shady apps or signs of malware. Phones are computers that happen to fit in the hand and has a sim.
- Comment on Block ADS On The Internet For Your Entire Family 2 months ago:
I’ve been running it for a few years now. Lots of custom lists. Got about 2.2 million domains blocked ATM. I’ve had to make a few exceptions and do some manual tweaks. The recent update to 6.0+ also gives quite the performance boost too while adding a few things that were lacking.

Vikings were successful with other countries women cuz they did basic hygiene. Shaved, washed, some hair stuff. They ‘conquered’ just from cleanliness. If Vikings aren’t manly enough idk what this kid is on about lol.

Ya, hindsight it’s a dumb comparison.
- Comment on Perfectly clear instructions HP 4 months ago:
For sure. Plenty of times I’ve had to go power cycle a little desk printer just for it to work again. Oddly, commercial label printers (like TSC) have been surprisingly ok, even in large industrial shops.

Maybe it’s the environments I work in, but WiFi printing always ends in tragedy.

- Comment on 63% of Gen Z Would Rather Play Video Games Than Watch a Movie 8 months ago:
Basically the same reason as my reply to above reply. But in short, you’re right. AAA games basically = trash now (rare exceptions probably).
- Comment on 63% of Gen Z Would Rather Play Video Games Than Watch a Movie 8 months ago:
Oh I’m not playing new games anymore. WoW burned me of that years ago (shadowlands refugee). I’m playing single player/local co-op stuff only. Bg3, modded Minecraft/sims 4/cyberpunk etc.
- Comment on 63% of Gen Z Would Rather Play Video Games Than Watch a Movie 8 months ago:
I’m an old millennial and Ive usually preferred games to movies.
I think one reason it’s hard for me to watch movies (or even books) is having no control over the narrative. Writing in a lot of TV/movies are just too, well, stupid. Even if a game is bad, you can at least have fun with cheats/mods or having your own objectives. Movies/TV your stuck with their plot as a bystander to a story.
- Comment on [Gamers Nexus] HW News - AMD Leaves High-End GPUs, EK Aftermath, Consumer Protection for Electronics 8 months ago:
I’ve been team red for a very long time. I’ve never thought of them as top of the line. CPU has shifted, but I’ve got no delusions about the GPU side. My 7800xt is great. Handles everything I need it for. I don’t care about Ray tracing. And I know its not comparable to most of the 40xx offerings.

I get that, forgot to mention that clicking the back button very very fast is what usually works for me.
Regardless, it’s annoying af
- Comment on Redirect to prevent back button 8 months ago:
Not sure about that site specifically, but others that’s done it to me was easy to get around. Most of them are thwarted with basically double clicking the back button.

- Comment on Avowed plays like a funny Obsidian role-player where you buddy up with the voice of Mass Effect's Garrus [Eurogamer] 8 months ago:
If it came across as talking bad about the game/franchise thats not the intent. It’s just rarely mentioned in the crpg mainstream articles I’ve seen over time. Usually Divinity and others are brought up more often.
- Comment on Avowed plays like a funny Obsidian role-player where you buddy up with the voice of Mass Effect's Garrus [Eurogamer] 8 months ago:
Overall yes they did well, but it seems like they fell off. Poe1 has the better narrative imo. 2 had better mechanics.

Been waiting years for this. The original games are super underrated.
- Comment on Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster will no longer grant ‘Erotica’ points for taking photos of women [VGC] 9 months ago:
Is it me or has the term remastered been changed to remake/redesigned?
To me it’s always meant that its just a visual fidelity and maybe audio updating. The rest of the game mechanics remain. Only extreme bugs should be fixed that would lead to corrupted saves or something.
- Comment on Sony Santa Monica is making its first new IP in over 20 years 9 months ago:
Ain’t just Sony. It’s actually difficult to think of any new IP, from anyone. (I see you indie scene).
- Comment on Hacker Shows How to Get Free Laundry For Life 9 months ago:
And to a point I agree. But the way the story reads, it sounds like not much was done with the new machines after installation. We’ve all had money taken from faulty vending machines. But the stakes are slightly higher in this.
