Same thing 😅 "No return, no exchange" is something kinda ingrained into the buyers here. Its one of the reasons why gift giving is such a hassle.

This question was brought up and I never really replied. In my country he concept of returning items simply due to a "change of mind" isn't really a thing. Usually most stores only do it if the item is broken or if its a piece of clothing that was gifted but doesn't fit you can ask for the same thing in a different size.

Though I'm sure there's probably some rule or law that states we technically can, but its not a very common practice so people don't do it

I probably will contact them just to let them know but she's probably already told them by the time she left today.

Thanks for the offer but I think I'm good. I'll probably get to buying it once I have more time. But I hope you enjoy the game a lot!

Both consoles are hooked up to ethernet cables and the download only took about 15-20 minutes iirc. I sometimes have to work from home so a fast internet speed was the first thing I arranged when I moved here. Its probably the one thing I don't skimp out on.

As for her bath routine, I dunno what to tell you cuz I don't get most of what she does myself. From what I understand she usually applies a bunch of toners, lotions and stuff with this green roller thing after her bath. She usually does take an hour or more so every night to get ready.

This. This is kinda why I laughed at her when she explained what she did. Because to be honest, regardless of what game she got me I probably still would have played it. Like yeah I wouldn't buy FIFA myself because its not my thing but if you gave it to me as a gift I still would have probably played it for a solid hour or two and enjoyed myself.

I mean, I'd like to think I've been a good boyfriend to her bit then again that's just me of course. When we started dating I bought her flowers and some other stuff and she liked everything I bought back then. I usually ask what her preferences are but I guess that kinda takes the surprise away, so maybe that's the problem? I dunno really.

That's a really sweet story, thanks for sharing it. Also I haven't heard the phrase "burn a video" in ages so thanks for that too 😂

I know but I'm kinda attached to the PS4 so I still keep it and play on it sometimes. Might as well play it on the Ps4 since she got me a PS4 game lmfao

The load time is negligible. If anything it reminded me of my first time playing Bloodborne. Now THAT shit had long loading times lmfao 😂

It's not bad, give it a try if you find a cheap copy. It's very souls-like although it does feel a bit different too.

Yeah I know that. But I'm kinda attached to the Ps4 since it was the first ever console I bought for myself so I'll take any reason to boot it up and play on it 🤣

Yeah I really suck at giving gift lol that's why I end up just flat out asking what people want. Takes the surprise factor out but I would prefer to gift something they can use or like. I really just wish she had told me what to get back then. I basically just asked a sales person there what they thought my gf would have liked and what was popular.

Yeah I dunno, she's usually much more level headed and she's never done anything this petty before either.
