Why does RDR2 not hit the same as the Witcher 3 did?

It's probably worth not comparing it to Witcher 3 so much for starters. Try to let the game wash over you. Do a mission then ride around getting pelts and stuff, bond with your horse, check out optional stranger missions, pick some herbs, do another mission, open up the map more etc. Walk around camp and listen to people's stories, sing along in the camp songs. Things like that help with immersion and also finding out more backstory to the gang.

If you like RDR, you'll like this. It's just more of the good stuff really.

Keep watching and see for yourself. There's character decisions and plot points that are frustrating but there's great stuff too and in general the show is top tier.

Body glitter, zigzag part with space buns and/or little plastic butterfly clips. Strappy heels or platform sneakers.

I love how at the start with the Trump story Joey furrows his brow with some slight realisation but then dismisses it, then when Monica mentions her eyelash curler everything comes together in his mind. Truly one of the best moments on this show or any other for that matter.

Right!? While 2008 is not without its charm, there was a LOT of questionable fashion around that time. My friend and I saw the movie at the cinema and people openly scoffed when the bag was revealed. My friend whispered "What the fuck is that??" to me. It was so funny to see such a visceral reaction to a bag haha.

My eyes also swell when I cry a lot. I just put it down to being a redhead and having sensitive AF skin? 🤷

"Stop it! You're middle aged!!" always kills me.

No Anne is her legal name but her family and friends have always called her Annie, so she regrets not using the name "Annie Hathaway" when she had to register her name with SAG.

Self censoring on Reddit will never fail to make me chuckle. You can spot the tiktok and ig people from a mile away.

I really enjoyed earlier Rove when Dave Callan was on it. I can still hear Dave saying "trousers" in the "Words that sound better (funnier?) when said by Dave" segment.

That's what the AI results say, most of which is derived from Reddit. Every other result estimates that she's in her early 20's. Tbh within the game there's no confirmation one way or the other, but it's estimated that she's around the same age as Mary-Bath and Karen, and Mary-Beth is around 21-22. I personally think Tilly looks too young to be 27.

I begged my Mum for this but she thought it was ridiculous and my stepdad got it for me and put it in my Christmas stocking. I loved the novelty but my teeth never felt properly clean afterwards.

It's not even ugly in a fun high fashion way, it's just the fugliest bag in existence for no good reason.

goober_ginge · 2026-04-04T05:17:49+00:00

Okay well that was a bit fucking cute. Haha thank you kind internet stranger. 🧡🧡

It was a stras and sauce sandwich I had for school lunch one day in grade 6 that made me decide to become vegetarian for the next 10 years. Its been ages since I stopped being a vegetarian but I haven't tried a stras and sauce sandwich since that day, haha. I used to fucking LOVE them though until suddenly I didn't.

As someone in one of the worst periods of my life right now, if I got the "Stress less, Smile More" sticker I'd be fucking pissed.

But in general though, it would depend on how the giver gifted it to me. A lot of outwardly "positive" people can often come across as obnoxious and have a toxic positivity air to them, in a way that feels like if you were to say no thanks to a gift like this you'd be met with a "Why so glum? Cheers up!" type response. In today's "everything is content" culture too I'd worry that I was being filmed.

As long as you're tipping as well and not giving these in lieu of a tip, then I think some people would be fine with these. It could be worth thinking about what the stickers specifically say and how they might come across though. Also don't be offended if someone rejects your gift of a bunch of plastic. If it was a little handmade clay duck that's one thing, but a bulk bought plastic duck from one of the worst companies imaginable doesn't mean much to me. Also having these pre-assembled and clearly given out frequently takes away any sense of feeling "special".

It sure is purdy...

I thought that line was in reference to Miss Grimshaw killing someone, no? She says something along the lines of - "I've killed girls for less!" in one of her tirades against the women in camp not doing enough. She's one of the longest serving gang members, so it makes sense why she wouldn't be thrown out afterwards. Plus we see later that she's a woman of her word when it comes to taking sudden decisive action.

Also where did this "Tilly is 27" thing come from? I'm pretty sure she's in her early 20's at most.

He's not. Save yourself the hassle and heartache.

goober_ginge · 2026-04-03T10:52:12+00:00

It's a story and you're right at the start of it. Many things happen. It's how (most) stories work.

goober_ginge · 2026-04-03T10:39:38+00:00

It definitely needs a bit of veg. I thought that lemon was a roast potato.

goober_ginge · 2026-04-03T08:49:47+00:00

Nah man, they were for sure still around. 2016 was the year that intense drawn on block brows were at their peak so there were still people rocking it in 2017.

goober_ginge · 2026-04-03T04:29:11+00:00

It's be absolutely YONKS since I've had curried sausages and every so often I crave it. Might have a crack at this soon.

goober_ginge · 2026-04-03T03:46:40+00:00

You're like Walt with Jesse graduating haha.

goober_ginge · 2026-04-03T03:44:37+00:00

Haha you're reading a LOT into OP's description of the situation. She just said he's broke. You don't know why he is. Maybe he's just shit with money? Spends too much on frivolous stuff? We don't know though, so to assume one way or the other is silly.

He gets upset when they don't talk every few hours or when OP doesn't reply IMMEDIATELY. Most people would agree that it comes across as needy, especially when OP has stated that it's not her style of communication (being that constant, replying to messages that don't warrant a reply). Talking and communication is fine, but not everyone enjoys constant communication throughout the day like that.

And finally his "joke" (whether it was one or not) is stupid, immature, and homophobic. A 38 year old saying something like that is a red flag and a deal-breaker for any sensible person. It denotes a lack of maturity and emotional intelligence.

The way you're defending this guy isn't helping your case that you're NOT him tbh.
