This is not true love. True love is stop playing a game that can't be paused in the middle of a cutscene or combat.

Ah.

I just figured out why I'll never find true love, then.

I ain't doing that for anyone.

Except my cat.

You say you will never find true love but it sounds like you already have, friend.

I have and my wife likes to test it as she never has anything to say to me unless im in the middle of a cutscene that can't be paused.

As someone who has also found true love...I felt that comment in my bones. I guess it cannot be true love if it's never tested...lol.

Edit: And all the game developers who make 'start' skip the cutscene instead of pausing it need to fix their shit. Argh. Lol.

This is why I like playing games through proton on Linux and the steam deck. Being able to "pause" an unpausable game by hitting the power button is great.
