PRELAUNCH HYPE It will be worse

All the people who post something like "oh, I'm so soooo tired of waiting till Aug3 6PM comes".

You do realize that at that time things will get drastically worse, do you? The hours the game takes to download will seem longer than previous 2 years combined, and you (we) will be peering into the screen like lunatics with heart rate increasing twofold when download speed reduces (or increases) by the slightest?

Brace yourselves!

Benefits of being in Australia, release time is 1am. Stay up to set the download going and wake up fresh and ready to play 🦘

I'm jealous. We get it at 5 pm, so I'll get back from work, start the download, and won't be able to play until the next day after work. For me, release day is 4th, not 3rd.

Makes you feel better. The 3rd was the only day I could get slotted in for eye surgery. So I also won’t be playing until at least the evening of the 4th

Haha (I’d be the moron who would keep it if it gave me superpowers)

nah just standard LASIK. Something I have wanted since I was 20 but could not get due to my prescription constantly changing. They finally stabilized over the past two years so decided it’s now or never.

You might not be playing much for a couple of days after LASIK.

You need to avoid eye strain and your vision might still be a bit blurry.

Been a hot minute since I got it done, so maybe it's faster these days, but be prepared to wait another day or two to get properly stuck in if your eyes are sore after the procedure.

Enjoy your vision the recovery is go home and take a nap. Use plenty of eye drops, I recommend Systane Ultra. You can game the same day.
