Very real

It's reasonable for two people as well as a "first home." My partner and I own a 960 sqft condo and it's all we need. If we wanted kids it wouldn't work but as just a couple it's great.

If the former they'll soon be fired. If the latter they'll soon have new recruits.

Good idea waiting on Firebreak. I've dabbled thanks to it being included in the PS+ Extra tier and have some thoughts. It's clearly a Double-A or even Single-A if that exists game that feels like a fun side project while Control 2 is in the works. There is fun to be had in it especially if you can get friends involved but it isn't a game with staying power. I feel like I'll keep it installed for a while and play a few rounds every now and again, checking on the patches, and just using it for a fun romp with no commitment. It is certainly light on content and buggy though so a few patches wouldn't go amiss.

I can't recall having ever seen it written down so I just assumed it was another French word/phrase bastardized by anglophones. It's a reasonably safe assumption but certainly has its failings.
