Funko Pops, to me.

I understand that some of them are fairly overpriced, but I also really like them as is. It doesn’t work on all characters, but it sometimes work on a lot and there’s so much representation and variety that it’s good to have a few.

If people want to talk about waste of plastic and vinyl, they should bark at the companies who make teeny tiny figurines that serve no purpose and have so little detail that spending any money on them is a waste.

    Starfield. The game isn’t bad, it just isn’t as good and the game design was especially outdated for its release window. It’s legitimately a better RPG than most Bethesda games.

    I’m fairly confident modders will actually be able to salvage it despite its flaws.

      Seconded. I actually enjoyed the game for what it was, almost Skyrim in space. Almost, don’t shoot me for saying that.

      I had fun with the various factions, with constellation, and the story was reasonably unique but maybe not extremely enthralling.

      That said, my expectations were basically zero. I purposefully ignore all prerelease hype about video games as it tends to ruin the actual experience of playing the game for the first time.

      I’d be less annoyed with it if it were bad. It’s just the most boring thing. There’s nothing interesting going on. If it were bad there’d be a reason to care about it.

      It’s just really annoying because Bethesda used to care about doing something interesting with their games. It’s just increasingly gotten more generic though, and Starfield is the worst of it.

      I had fun with it. I don’t pay attention to the story anyway. Skyrim and oblivion didn’t have great stories imho either.

      I enjoyed the basic formula of past Bethesda games and Starfield delivered more of the same plus some cool extras like being able to disable and board/capture spaceships. I don’t understand the sentiment that’s it’s outdated. Modern AAA games are not dramatically different in design to games from 10 years ago in my experience.
