And I'm like, nah. It's funny because as we've gotten older, like the grind has really become almost a detriment. You know, if I know a game has a lot of grind involved to it, it's almost like a put off. And it's weird because that grind is supposed to, like, get you to want to play more. Like, it's, hey, you know, there's more that you can work for. There's more that you can do.
