Of course, I didn’t mean any disrespect or to suggest you thought that way yourself. ❤️

The verse you are thinking of is from the New Testament, Matthew 6:5 “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full.”

Edit: While also not a biblical scholar, I don’t think this verse is condemning what the good Reverend is doing here, rather the overly pompous and egregious prayers and acts that some “christians” feel like they have to do to gather as much attention to themselves as possible. Case in point; any time I would go out to a restaurant with my parents, they would make a big show of bowing their heads and praying loudly over their food. Things we didn’t do at home growing up.

Thirded. Triced? Anyway, I haven’t gamed in front of a TV or monitor in almost a decade. All of it has been handheld (either 3DS early in those 10 years, or now with either phone or a Retro gaming device of some sort, or a switch, I dont have a steamdeck).

And I haven’t had a long gaming session in almost that same time frame. Games that I can pick up and play for 10s of minutes before I have to go be an adult again are the ones that get played the most.

Having played Grand theft san Andreas, and Grand theft Auto V, the best part for me is driving around and exploring. I’ve tried doing the missions and such and I dunno, just not my thing.

So, a way I would enjoy the series more is like a free roam mode or something, maybe a crime spree mode too now that I’m thinking about it, where basically you could get away with whatever and not have your star level increase.

I guess just the regular game is a free roam mode, at least in GTA V. San Andreas locked parts of the map behind a “Hurricane preparation” excuse till you did more missions.

Maybe they will be so gorked out of their minds that they’ll fail to implement anything in Project2025
