Quotes (from this video)
- But I'm a sucker for theme.
- As a gamer, this is a gamer problems I experience.
- When the setup and the barrier of entry to get back to the table outweighs the actual enjoyment I would have for a couple hours, that game I just don't need anymore.
- The Hellraiser movie. Oh my, that is uh quite It's not the movie I watched before. I thought that's the one I saw. It definitely wasn't.
- This is rough. Oh, so rough.
- I feel like this one there's some scenarios where like items you can kind of ignore and they're not as um important. I feel like this one is definitely leaning into the items are a necessity.
