Seems kind of like the game is just suffering from reactionaries, but I definitely don't put that much stock in critic reviews these days either.

I can't tell if I don't like Starfield, or playing games anymore. I got it on September 1st, and played it for a few hours that night. I played it for a couple hours the night after that, and then I played it for like 30 minutes yesterday. I haven't really been hardcore about any game since before the pandemic. It's not the same now that my gaming machine lives at the desk that is also my home office. I've typically wanted to just get out of this room when work is done, so a game has to be really good to keep me sitting here.

I'm considering moving my PC to the living room for this exact reason.

I did, and it's great. Really helped to have it somewhere I don't also work.

It's a good idea, but my eyes aren't good enough to read my screen if I park my ass on the couch and need to view the TV to read dialogue text :(

Easy. Get glasses and a bigger TV

No see... I have glasses and an 65" TV... I really can't get better.

Sounds like maybe you need a new eye exam... Are you unable to get to 20/20 with corrective lenses?

I have glasses and I game on a 46" TV from about 12 to 14 feet away and I can read most (if not all) in game dialogue...

I did struggle a bit with Pentament but that was part of what helped me realize I needed a new eye exam.

It seems like my eyes are just deteriorating quickly now. I end up getting a new prescription each year in December.

That's how mine are these days. I just noticed that my prescription expires after a year (the paper one), so if I'm tempted to get an updated pair of frames, it's going to mean an eye exam for me.
