I'm not in school anymore but this still hits close to home.
Final fantasy 9 almost having to fail out of my final semester of college. My roommate bought it the month before finals. admittedly I wasn't doing amazing before it came out but it's still just destroyed any chance I'm redeeming the semester.
I have a friend who completely stopped going to school the week Halo 2 came out, like he never went back. That was it.
I should clarify this was college, obviously. But to this day we still joke with him that when big games come out we worry he's going to quit his job, abandon his family, etc.
Is baldurs gate easier than the divinity games? I find their combat frustrating and borderline impossible even on the easiest like “narrative only” settings

I failed two classes in community college because of Demon's Souls.
I love that game.

I should know better than to comment on the dunkage in chat....
The third boss is a cut-off point for a large number of sidequests. I didn't realize this for a while until I saw I had collected a bunch of red X's. Once you use the macguffin to enter the bossroom, there is no return.

Guugh, that was not something to emulate from Dark Souls. Thank you for the warning.
Does anyone remember the conversion rate for EAPlay to Gamepass? I can get 12 mos of Play for $27. I thought it was 3Play = 1GP but can't find confirmation.
If my math is right, that's $7 per month for Gamepass

I don't remember failing anything because of a game, but I know I chose to play games over getting work done multiple times and because of that pulled plenty of completely unnecessary all nighters.
Since @Orivon does not seem to think Sunday is a rest day I am here again. 2 games which apparently were gifted to Orivon in the past made it to my library as well and Timelie which I thought looked interesting when I saw it a while back. I did kinda forget about it after but Orivon did not. Thank you.
Apparently I have a lot of "unrevealed"(you have to click on the entry to see the key) keys per an e-mail reminder from one of the storefronts I buy from. Usually stuff from bundles that I already have so I forget about them, points to them for sending e-mail reminders about it which they didn't really have to do.
There are a number of them so instead of flood out a page with code tags I'm going to just list titles and send a message if you want any. I am 99% sure they all still work but apologies in advance if they don't.

Bioshock Infinite shows its seams, but it's a great game.

The best deal for Gamepass is Live->GP Ulitmate
You can buy up to 3 years worth of Live for $60 each year (or less if you shop around, ie 2 years for $95 from Costco). Add those to your xbox account, then pay $1 to convert them to Gamepass. Conversion is $5/mo (the Costco deal is $4/mo).

Well, until it does the "but what if those who fight back against being slaves take it too far" bit.
It's more about the corrosive nature of violence, even when used for a good cause.
Edit: The 2 major themes to the game are that, and also how history can utterly destroy you
I would agree to that if the truth wasn't locked behind dlc.
I mean, the DLC is on theme, but both of those are very much evident within the original game, I thought.
This isn't to say all aspects of the game were done perfectly. But I thought it was pretty coherent and consistent on the themes, at least.

Man, these sequences in Observer where you jack into someone's mind/memories are obnoxious as hell. Sounds cool, right? Wrong.
Its trying to be artsy weird and scary and failing at both of them. Trying to throw as much noise and clutter at you as they can in poorly lit nonsensical environments.
You know whats fun and interesting? Trying to solve puzzles in a room thats impossible to see in while a baby is constantly crying in the background.
I was enjoying the game before this but if theres a lot more of these, I'm probably just going to move on.

Started up Alien Isolation for a second run after beating it a few years ago. Nope, can't play it with headphones lol, too creepy even knowing what's coming

I happened to mention in the chat that I was having a shitty day, and why... @Questor decided to take it upon himself to brighten my day by sending me porn. I mean, can't fault that logic.

I should know better. I really should. Especially when the game is on sale. I was complaining in chat that I missed the Mechanicus free weekend because I thought it went for 2 more hours. @Destroyah took pity on me and decided to let me find out if I like it myself.
Thank so much. I do love some turn-based strategy.

Thank you, you mad lad. Now I have the first new game I will be installing after I build the new PC at the end of next week (hopefully)!

Was tired of the run, said fuck it, wacked a dude with a bat.
In hindsight, should have consumed lots of drugs before going nuts.
