I 100% Dragon’s Dogma 2 despite hating every minute of it because I got it on PS5 and couldn’t refund it anyway. I had to milk my money back out of it somehow.
That’s how i decide if im taking something to the mechanic or not. Gotta remove the exhaust headers just to reach the starter, then figure out how to physically remove it and put the new one in vs $350 and probably be ready by end of day. $2k for a new clutch or 16 hrs cursing, busting knuckles because you got almost a meter of extensions to reach the top 3 bolts. About 6 hrs were spent just laying on the floor crying, contemplating insurance fraud, murder of the engineer who designed it, or cursing my lot in life.
This is why I didn’t assemble my current pc myself, and somehow no one gets it. Yes person in my circle of acquaintances that I told about the PC i got, I know it’s not hard to do, I’ve done it a few times. But I’m hella incompetent at small fiddly shit so screwing in the mainboard and placing the cpu cooler takes me half an hour each, cable management makes me want to die, and don’t even MENTION the I/O panel.
Or i can pay like 80€ to have it built and support a local business while I’m at it.

Most of the time you’re just paying someone to deal with all the little bullshit problems you encounter along the way.
The Stars program was still going at the time, so I got enough points to get a $10 gift card from the achievements. 🤷♂️
This is me with MMOs. “surely, after I buy this expansion, it’s going to be fun”. No idea why I fell for it several times.
