Yes, that's the entire basis for the idea of the social contract. That you give up a little bit of freedom in exchange for security from living in a society.

I do agree, the whole "oops sowwy" with a sad Labrador vibe is a little irritating. But I guess they do it cause it's a harmless and layman-friendly response.

What I'm saying is that when you see one of these messages you should interpret it as "something is wrong on our end, nothing you can or need to do on your end, please hang tight as we're aware of the issue and working on it". They don't give you more info than that because that average person is probably not a dev and doesn't have any need for more details than that.

You're assuming they aren't already aware of the issue.

Because 99% of the time these errors are caused by something on their end that the user is unable to fix, even on the off chance that they understand the problem in the first place. So there isn't any need to give you more information than "something went wrong, please wait a minute and/or try again".

I always feel so reassured when you get to that one tricky step and Chef John says "But if you didn't, that's ok! It's still gonna taste really, really good!"

"Bread and circuses" only works when you make bread and circuses available to the people. They're starting to take them away and people are not going to stand for this bullshit without their creature comforts.

Food Wishes with Chef John. Very fun, laid back, and dare I even say informative if you're into cooking.

Love this game. I'm going for 100% for the first time, at about 92% now.

I actually think Guarma doesn't go on long enough. Should have been more exploring. Yeah it gets a little unrealistic, but a lot of the late game does (see also the prison break, the Pinkerton fight at Lakay).

But overall this game is hands down one of my favorites, and I really hope for another Red Dead in the future.

My expectation is between $400 and $500, but either way I'm preordering as soon as it's available.
