Thanks for that. Yeah, I'm not as active on socials these days, but I'll pop in when I can. Still very thankful for our community and that the game is going strong more than a decade from its initial release.

Appreciate the critique. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.

Great work! Hope you had a wonderful time there.

Sure thing! Yeah, each dev has a mental list of the things they'd want to be updated or added to the game. Often that stuff gets discussed as a group, triaged, and backlogged for future analysis. We (as individual devs) don't comment publicly on things like this as a rule because we want to be careful about setting proper expectations. Very often, the things players might ask for on reddit or the official forums are things we've wanted or talked about for a long time but that haven't aligned with our goals, directives, or plans for various reasons. Thanks for the chat and for the kind words. Means a lot.

What resolution display are you connected to? 1080p? 1440p? 4k?

Gonna try it this weekend. Thanks for the heads up.

I've been using SamCW's soulslike layout for about 2 years, with minor edits to it. I like it because it keeps my fingers on the shoulder buttons and triggers for combat so I can use my right thumb to move the camera around in action cam mode. But it relies on the extra buttons and touch pads as well for shifting on the skill bar and accessing menus so it wouldn't work docked (unless Valve were to come out with a separate Steam Deck controller, which would be rad).

Good luck finding one you like.

Thanks for confirming. Yeah, it's actually been something we've kicked around internally for years. No promises, of course. I can't say either way if this is something that we'd ever do. But it's good to know that folks might be interested in an update that could make the quality of life better should we have the opportunity. Understanding pain points and collecting data is always the first step.

I'm going to paraphrase the OP to make sure I'm understanding the feedback:

* The existence and quality of in-game books and lore pages is fine
* The implementation of finding books and pages in the middle of a combat zone or scattered in and between open world events creates unneeded time pressure which prevents someone from actually reading it during gameplay
* OP is suggesting/recommending a way to "unlock" or "bank" books and pages for reading later

Is this an accurate assessment of the feedback? Or am I missing something?

In other words, the best GTA with the best music.

Thank you for my early Christmas gift.

Amazing how life gives you the wisdom to see the same thing differently over time.

My first thought was, "Oh, this is one of the more recent jokes," not realizing that time has only accelerated, and this was from the 20th century.

Here's a weird gen x take: while, yes, the earlier seasons were indeed the golden age of the Simpsons, the recent seasons have been pretty great IMO. I stopped watching around season 15 and have only now gone back and started catching up on everything since and have found some gems that were made in the past 20 years. Hell, even the past few seasons have had some fantastic episodes.

Definitely one of the funnier Simpsons gags from *checks notes* season 9.

Excuse me while I crumble into dust.

Got this one to celebrate the launch way back in 2012.

Game Pass is great for trying out different things on a budget.

I'm doing exactly this right now. LOL

I bought New Vegas ages ago but never finished it. Between the Amazon show hype and wanting something to play on my Steam Deck in between GW2 sessions it's been a lot of fun.

This is the only correct answer.

I'm definitely curious to see what folks think once the next expac is announced and they can see what threads will continue, etc.
