Well you are an older and more patient person now so here’s hoping. I like to believe a slow first act is necessary sometimes and usually they are justified by the rest of the game.

I don’t mind slow, as long as it isn’t tedious. The narrative sounding why you are there is well crafted, the gameplay on the other hand. Hopefully it won’t bother me as much, it won’t stop me in my tracks this time.

I suppose therein lies the rub, the narrative importance of the ranch missions only becomes evident in the denouement and end of the game.
That being said I always liked the MacFarlane’s as characters so that was always enough plus you unlock the marshal’s missions after the third ranch mission and that is where the game introduces the combat so those missions have more momentum.

Now I just need to find a moment to play the game, have played nothing but BF6 religiously since October.

I like the cows! Unfortunately I didn’t know the bull will attack you in free roam 
I wonder if it’s possible to play that game without breaking the law 
only fire if fired upon, lasso people, and make all your money from gambling (which seems to be legal?) and sales. Only use horses you bought or caught wild, spare when you have the option, aaaaaand try not to trespass but that one’s tricky to know if you are sometimes.
Sometimes the missions force you to commit crimes (like crashing a homemade tank into a fort and gatling gunning everyone down, blowing up a convoy or robbing a train). So maybe you could argue duress in those situations? Especially as technically, John is under duress from government agents the whole game.
Hmm damn, now you’re all getting me interested in trying to get further into RDR1. Never got out of that initial farm area. and yeah while the MacFarlanes (especially Bonnie with her "I’m the head-honcho of cowgirls) was cool, some of the gameplay felt quite tedious.
Though maybe that’s just Rockstar games controls in general, very weird to sprint by mashing a button…

In some countries I could even be imprisoned because of just owning it. The violence is pretty benign, even compared to games such as Postal 2, let alone modern games such as the newer Mortal Kombat.
My purchases over past week
New disguise for my Mi9T Pro
New face companion
And a new look and home for my earphones

A sealed copy of The Nations or Alien Nations as it’s called in Germany.
Learned of it from one of Sseth’s videos 
Interestingly enough, the soundtrack was composed by a young upstarter named Jesper Kyd. Hopefully he got far in his career

At the beginning of January, I bought the ThermalGrizzly Wireview Pro II to safeguard my worries for my 5090 PC rig. It got delivered to me last Saturday and has been working very well so far for me. This device monitors the per pin current of your power connector, comes with temperature sensors and even has a cable that can be hooked to your PC power switch so the device will automatically safeguard and shutdown your PC if it detects current instability for a certain amount of time. Very customisable.
It’s a real shame that NVIDIA are continuing to choose to not yet introduce active amperage load balancing for the wires, introducing safer dual power connectors liked with their 30-series cards and instead we have had a number of increasing cases with the 40 and 50 series GPUs especially at the high end where cables melt and in some cases, become melted to the port so the GPU could potentially get ruined! Some 5080s and some 9070XTs are reported to have been affected too.
@scat1620 I know you have a 5090 rig so I was curious if you were considering to buy this device/what are your thoughts on the 12VHPWR connector debacle? Some have said it’s overstated and statistically it most likely is, but that’s based on guesstimations of how many 4090/5090’s have been sold without any melting issue. The sort of information that we’d never publicly get.
For the fellow tech enthusiasts on here who keep up to date with PC hardware news, it’s one of the most bleakest times I’ve seen for a long time, if ever!

Didn’t build my PC, I’m afraid, it was built by an SI so if I run into problems with it I’m going back to them.

I know the UPS is bigger, but I think it’s much more effective. The good one course.
Either way, congratulations with the newcomer

Got the GoodSmile Nendoroid of Solid Snake! Just a little over the equivalent of 100 USD, at 2000 MXN pesos. Not really into the Chibi style but the low polygons face accesory convinced me of the purchase.

Gotta respect that they included the Famas! A SOCOM would’ve been the classic, but it might have licensing issues
