No problem! One last thing - while you can download the games for PS1, PS2, PS4, and PS5, the PS3 games on the service are streaming only (I... don't really know why), so if you're in a bad area or have a spotty internet provider, that can be a barrier for that specific generation with the package. Other than that, it is a great value. I use it to expose my 5 year old to the games I played as a kid (he's fond of ape escape).

If you're going to spend any money on getting into pc gaming don't go for a laptop. Go all in and get a gaming pc(Desktop). Be sure to do research and get something that'll last you many years before you have to upgrade.

trust me.

Hence the question mark. I'm honestly not sure what OP is asking for, nor am I sure they're sure. The best open world maps work so well because they're hand-crafted. Having a big, randomly generated open world just probably wouldn't be nearly as engaging or cohesive.

I think you need to chill. No one's attacking straight men here. I am a male who's attracted to women. There's nothing wrong with that.

However, there are many things to enjoy about games other than your avatar's appearance. Story, gameplay, environments, and so on. And there are many things to enjoy about your avatar other than the gender of their ass. Customization, roleplaying, and self-expression for instance. Straight men are no less capable of appreciating these things than anyone else.

Someone who indicates, even with hyperbole, loudly and publicly that they ignore these things to focus on visual arousal is indicating themselves to be a shallow and vulgar person. This is true whether they're a straight male, and straight woman, or a queer person.

I just find it ironic that people prefer this to having their sexuality questioned. I also find it problematic that enjoying a game on a more sophisticated level than pornography could cause a male's sexuality to be questioned. So I push back against this narrative whenever I see it.
