would you recommend cyberpunk as it is at the moment? or would it be better to wait for the next big update before playing it

Depends what you're playing on, if it's on PC then tbh the game was pretty playable even at launch (I only encountered maybe 4 major bugs and it wasn't anything that reloading a save wouldn't fix). I honestly didn't have that much time to play lately so I can't really compare the game's current state to how it was running previously that well, but I'd assume they've fixed plenty in a year since it was released. I certainly haven't noticed it running any worse than before, so I'm assuming it got improvements 🤷‍♀️

If anyone of my followers has something to add on this feel free to chime in.

Also definitely don't buy it at full price, wait till it's on sale. It might've gotten some updates and fixes but it's still not really worth paying 60$ or whatever they're asking for lol

RANT!!

RE: Leafeon from Build-A-Bear

An extended rant from a comment I started on Youtube.

Just saw it a few minutes ago because saw something on Reddit (I lurk there) about it being released soon. I LOVE my Bulbasaur and Vaporeon from there, (As well as the MLP plush I garnered over a few years) but the prices are so exorbitant, even if they are excellent quality and huge. If they were 40-45 USD, I could see it and wouldn't balk, but 65 is the price of a whole video game or one well-made dress. Anyway, I can't buy it (right now).

I know it'll sell out in a week or less, but I also know at the end of the day it's just a freaking toy. Can't logic my way out of not wanting it, I just wish BAB was a bit more moderate with its pricing. Even when the Pokemon plush goes on sale, they don't usually go under 50. (I waited patiently for Bulbasaur to go on sale, and Vaporeon was discounted to around 30 because they ran out of her clothes.) Sorry for ranting. Guess I'll finish this up on Tumblr.

And here I am. When I was typing out that rant, at first I said BAB was for rich people and splurges, which isn't altogether untrue. Like American Girl dolls, BAB is practically a status symbol if you can afford one. Most middle-class people would think twice about dropping 50 dollars on a teddy bear (or Pokemon), even if they could afford it. I've said it before on here, I'm not poor. I just inherited one of my parents' cheap-o wallet-tightening genes. I spoil myself a lot, but I rarely pay full price for anything and if we're talking MLP, I gravitate towards ones that are slightly messed up in some way with marker stains or whatever. IDK if it's a subconscious thing where I think I don't deserve pristine, like-new ones, or if I'm just weird. Or both.

And, as I've also said, I get annoyed with myself for being in my 30s and still collecting toys like some woman child nerd. Your interests are your interests and we're all hard on ourselves. I have scaled down my collection significantly and no longer look at stuffed animals in the store like they are my oxygen, but it seems fandom-related ones have become my kryptonite in the past few years. Guess it's like any other vice. You want to stop, but you're not sure how.

Maybe if I try to wrack up those crazy gift cards they keep offering me (I don't get them because I really don't buy from BAB all that often, maybe a few times a year if they have something I like. The only time I got something non-fandom-related from them was the Hot Topic bear and the Shark with legs, which I never look at), I'd get somewhere in getting the price down. (But I'm not 1000 percent certain you can use gift cards on the Pokemon line?)

Uhh, not much else to say? Leafeon is REALLY cute, but too expensive right now. (Bills happen, and with things as they are this month and going through some big changes and a lot of emotional stuff, I don't want the fam looking at me sideways again because I made an unjustifiable just-for-me purchase that was a lot. Same reason I have held back on getting the Saturn figuart that's been my grail forever when I found her at 49, then 51. So tempting, but not worth getting lectured. Again. >_<;)

I enjoy the Pokemon line over there because they have voice boxes and are huge and really soft. the Pokemon center plush might be soft, but they don't have size of BAB's ones without being $200 and they definitely don't come with voice boxes. Unfortunately, many of the Eeveelution line have been online exclusives, if I'm remembering right. Sucks, but that's life. Well, C----19 is also a thing, so even if Leafeon was in the store, doesn't mean I'd go rush out and buy it. (Couldn't anyway because I haven't driven in months and don't know the highway yet. We have no BAB close to us.)

Bleh. Maybe if I could play the Pokemon games like everyone else, I wouldn't have this deep need to collect nearly all Eeveelution merch. XD
