I am but a simple creature. I get some kind of primal satisfaction from going to the gym and lifting heavy things so that I can lift even heavier things in the future.

33, I first played RA2 about 2 decades ago and still hop onto games to this day! Would love to try its predecessor so thanks for the chance OP!

Assuming you mean cutting soda out entirely and not just diet soda, I just want to reassure you that it does get easier. I've gone from drinking a can or 2 at lunch/dinner to only drinking like a handful of times a year (only at parties/events for social purposes). In my experience after the 6 month mark, soda straight up tastes bad and at that point it's smooth sailing. Your teeth and wallet will thank you.

Ahh my bad, I misunderstood. That's great to know!

I'm not entering but just wanted to say Stubbs is criminally underrated and one of the most entertaining games I've ever played. Hope the game goes to someone who will enjoy it as much as I did. Thanks for doing this OP!

Bought Battlebit Remastered, Crab Champions, Code Vein. Already got my money's worth out of the first 2. Both shooters feel great to play and mess around in with friends. Haven't actually started Code Vein yet but having fun just making waifus in the character creation menu.

Thinking of buying Half Life Complete (better late than never), the Steins;Gate VN, and Nier Automata. Also looking for more singleplayer autobattlers like Astronarch but this genre is surprisingly small. Doesn't help that searching by the 'autobattler' tag also shows you bullet heavens (or Vampire Survivors-likes if you prefer) in the results.
