My roommate kept walking past the couch making comments about how tense I looked, and by the third night she just sat down and started watching properly, we ordered food and didn't talk about anything else that weekend.

Vous allez me dire que c'est pas pareil, mais moi aussi j'ai eu droit aux soupirs de mon coloc à chaque mort.

Compared to what's coming out on other consoles right now in the genre, this still holds its own without breaking a sweat, movement alone beats most recent attempts.

I've replayed this more than I'll admit and I'll defend its spot every single duel, no shame here.

Every duel someone says no shame, and every duel I nod along and change nothing about my vote.

I remember picking it up right after a breakup, which is probably the worst possible state to fight through a planet full of things trying to kill you, but I think it helped more than it hurt, though I'm not totally sure I'd recommend the timing to anyone else.

Pareil, sauf la partie breakup.

rough timing but same feeling here, it stuck with me too

My daughter watched me play through the whole thing and now she asks about the ranking every time we check the site, like it's her own personal stake in this, and honestly I don't have the heart to explain ELO to a nine year old.

But comparing months of evenings to a ranking spot feels off, my kid's excitement doesn't tell us much about where it should sit against everything else.
