I think your enjoyment will depend on what you’re expecting from your games.

Naughty Dog’s games are some of my favourites, RDR2 is the closest I’ve gotten to that playing a movie experience in an open world game. I would guess that’s hard to balance with more emergent gameplay in open-world story missions, so if that is more what you enjoy as a player, you’d probably feel very restricted.

Absolutely loved RDR2 though. My first or second favourite game of all time.

Absolutely no reason to buy it unless you love the design. Third party webcams will work with the switch 2.

I won’t stop using them because I (seemingly now foolishly) bought the lifetime membership, but I’ll be continuing to look for alternatives.

You can probably wait for this one to be free, or at least bundled.

Switch 2 battery life also isn’t fantastic.

Music is a no brainer for me since it’s something that is infinitely re-enjoyable (if that’s a word) and it doesn’t have to take up much space, without reasonable compromises to quality.

I bought a digital audio player last year so that I could be offline and disconnected when I go out but still enjoy music. One of my favourite purchases the last few years.

I used to work at Starbucks (almost a decade ago now), but at the time, the motto was “just say yes” to any customer requests. We also had free drink cards that you could give out to deesclate any issue. So I would say any time you’re even the slightest bit unhappy, bring it up, and you should at least have your problem solved, if not compensated for a free drink next time.

We also had customer satisfaction surveys that would print on reciepts, where filling one out would get the customer a free drink. We always kept them for customers that were happier to try and rig the odds in our favour of a higher rating, but also if a customer asked for one, I would give it if I had it. You could always ask the cashier if they have any of those as well.

Again, not sure how much either of those things have changed in the past 10 years, and I’m not sure how regional it was (this was in Canada at a corporately run store), but maybe worth a try.

Also I love these types of threads – great topic to post.
