Quite a few games as a service games look like they could have been turned into interesting single player story based games if, you know, someone bothered to write a story for it.
Brink for example had fantastic art assets and back story, but no actual story.

This ^ I get it, the images we are getting back ARE stunning, but is there anything about this mission that demanded a manned spaceflight? Couldn’t we/didn’t we already do the same thing remotely with the other planets?
I’m glad we’re getting back to it, and I’m happy to see anything other “We’re sending mice up on the space shuttle… AGAIN!”
But even Artemis IV where they are planning a moon landing has been done.
Let me know when the first colony is formed, then I can get excited.
Image posts are not allowed, neither are known propaganda sources like www.mintpressnews.com
www.mintpressnews.com is a recognized source of Russian propaganda, not actually news. It is a questionable (at best) source and not allowed.
For me, it depends on when all of our paperwork is in.
Generally, the W-2s from the employers don’t come in until the end of January, then I have to wait on my stock account. My wife had unemployment last year, and dividends from an oil field.
All of that has to be in before we can file.
Technically we were ready mid-February but got laid out by hospitalizations. I think we filed mid-March?

More important is if the game looks and runs well.

Oh, man, I would so be there!
Ezekiel 20:24-26
"24 Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols.
25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;
26 And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the Lord."
Matthew 6:1-2,5-9
"1Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
5 And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him."

Spinal stenosis. I went to bed fine one night and woke up with my brain screaming that my back was broken. Not just that, but that I could feel the broken ends grinding against each other.
For the next 12 months, the pain was so intolerable, I was taking 10 vicodin a day just to function. 2 to get out of bed, 2 when I got to work, 2 at lunch time, 2 when I got home, and 2 to go to sleep.

To be clear, I’ve had 2 heart attacks, open heart surgery, 6 kidney stones, and stage 2 colon cancer… I’d gladly choose any of that over spinal stenosis.
Long story short, the biggest differences between now and then are the coloring, printing, and paper.
Pencils and inks are still pencils and inks, but the color process was vastly different then because of the four color printing process.
You also had to take into account ink bleed because of the cheap paper being used.
As of 1983, comics could be printed in 124 colors, prior to that, the max was 63 colors.

Last one I saw was “Who’s Holiday”, a drag production featuring Cindy Lou Who from the Grinch Who Stole Christmas, all grown up and living in a trailer park.
“Unbelievable!”
It means whatever the asker wants it to.
Ezekiel 20 also says hello:
24 Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols.
25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;
26 And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the Lord.
