I love PC gaming because you can be playing something flawlessly on ultra settings one minute and the next you spend 20 minutes troubleshooting because you connected your controller AFTER opening Steam so your A button doesn’t work

The image is of a four panel comic.
In the first panel we see a dragon sitting on a pile of treasure. A speech bubble pointing off panel reads, “Dragon, why do you have all this treasure?”
In the second panel we zoom in on the dragons face. He simply says “shiny”.
In the third panel we pan to the left and see that there is a crow standing next to the dragon on the treasure.
In the fourth panel we zoom in on the crows face. He says “hell yeah”.

Rolled credits on Hades II! Amazing game, definitely GOTY in my book. Takes the formula from the first game and just gives you MORE. Art style is gorgeous, soundtrack slaps. At 50+ hours in it's still hitting you with new, fully voiced dialogue. 10/10. #Hades2 #HadesII

If you happen to be canceling streaming services for whatever reason, maybe throw a few bucks to a creative's Patreon or Ko-fi. Many have monthly tiers starting as low as $1, which may not sound like much, but if they get enough sign-ups, it could be life-changing money for those living on the edge.
