It’s a completely fair point. I have most Rebel and Imp units in Legion because I like to paint and I get it on the table a few times a year but most army scale games that use an IP are expensive from both a financial and time POV. Legion has a skirmish mode which makes things more palatable but if you’re new to the hobby… my guess is that the Shatterpoint core box will be $100 - $125, a decent paint starter set from someone like Vallejo will be $35 plus a rattlecan to prime, $6 for plastic cement, and maybe something like $15 for a couple decent brushes? And that’ll be to play the game with whatever scatter terrain comes with it and supplementing it with household objects and the like. So you’re pushing $200 before you get a foam insert for the core box to transport the thing. It’s a lot. I will say, things like GWs contrast paints / Army Painter’s speed paints / Scale 75’s Instant Paints, and the upcoming Xpress paint from Vallejo can get work as one coat solutions on top of a primer for something around a tabletop standard. But they’re no less expensive than “normal” paints. It’s a bummer because there’s a lot of gatekeeping in the hobby just because of cost, but it’s really fun to move little plastic figs on a table and roll dice to murder them.

My guess is that the boat is a pretty reliable way to give the player some agency in where they're going but also lets the writers know a minimal amount of time to get from A to B on critical path story bits so they know how long to let NPCs and Kratos blab. When you're on land there are generally shortcuts you could make or it's possible you'll clear puzzles on the first go. And in the first game you can't die on the boat so you don't have the GTA problem of dying mid mission and hearing the same shit over and over.

My wife has decided to put a pool in, and I don't know how I feel about it

The house I bought a few years back has a very small one in the backyard. Maybe 18’ in diameter, only goes to about 5’ deep. Basically a big hot tub, but not hot. So it’s not good for actual swimming but it’s great to cool off in and because it’s so tiny the maintenance is easy and it heats up quickly in the spring and fall when the weather doesn’t do that naturally in New England. -
Our boy's had it rough, be sure you only pull out enough to win. Don't wanna show him up.

Yeah, sorry. Said that in my initial post, just got lost in the quote train.
