Ever since the Straw Hats entered the New World the Marines have been a complete afterthought in the story. Luffy was 100% concentrated on fighting the Yonko, and the Marines always had some BS excuse to not go after the Straw Hats ( revolutionary army, nations rebelling against the WG, going after the Warlords etc ).

But even after the Yonko saga ended the Marines are still irrelevant in the story, now it's all about the Gorosei, the God Knights and Imu himself. Luffy and the gang are now getting used to fighting "immortal" beings that can instantly heal themselves no matter how much damage they take. At this point in the story any Marine force that actually tries to go after the Straw Hats will be treated as a joke in comparison to the real threats they are facing.

The only thing that may keep the Marines somewhat revenant in the story is if they go after the Cross Guild. That would actually make sense considering that Cross Guild is the only faction that is directly opposing the Marines, and also let's be honest they ( Cross Guild ) are far weaker than the Straw Hats and their allies so it would make for a more interesting showdown.

Buying an access code from a digital store will never give same feeling of owning a real physical copy of a game.

Just because the corporate overlords want you to accept an all digital future it doesn't mean that you have to go along with it, now more than ever is the time to teach others just how valuable physical media truly is. A digital code that you can "buy" on Steam or the PS Store is a much inferior experience compared to actually owning a physical copy of a game , and sometimes a simple photo showcasing your physical collection enough to get people to finally understand just how big the difference truly is .

With all the ridiculous hardware price hikes that are going on right now going retro has never been more appealing, and of all the classic systems that deserve to be revisited the PS3 should easily be in the top 5 of everyone's lists for a few reasons :

1 - Currently the prices for PS3 games are on average much cheaper than say PS2 games. This is because the generation that grew up with 7th gen consoles are only just now beginning to enter their own nostalgia phase (aka rebuying all of their childhood favorite games and systems again) . If you want to buy all time great games like Killzone 2 for 2 bucks or Uncharted 2 for 4 bucks now is the time to do it, before prices skyrocket in the next 5 or so years.

2 - The PS3 is the greatest Sony console of all time, this console literally had everything - Incredible third party support, great gimmicky games ( Buzz and the PS move games ), the best first party lineup in Playstation history etc

So yeah what are you waiting for ? Go buy a PS3 and experience some of the best that gaming has to offer 💪

2 - Games made in that era were overall just better than 99% of the slop we are getting now . I can't for the life of me understand how anyone could get hyped for stuff like GOW Laundry or the nu Fable game, we really had it better in the 2000s man ( up until 2015 we were still doing great imo ) .

I owned a Fat PS2 during my childhood ( it unfortunately broke a few years ago ) but I never owned a PS2 Slim. Well I do now ! This thing is a beauty, and the small form factor makes it easy to store the device anywhere you want. I'm also slowly rebuilding my old game library thanks to CEX, it's really handy to have a used games store nearby to stock up on old games you can't find anywhere else 👍

The place is a literal desert with barely any water and very little food, and the number of criminals and gang members is significantly larger than the population of law abiding citizens . Realistically speaking Marshall Johnson and half a dozen deputies can't possibly keep this place civilized. If Bill wasn't an idiot, and had immediately stormed Armadillo with his men after shooting John, he would easily have wiped out the only semi civilized city in the entire state ( any of the major gangs in New Austin could have done this not just Bill's gang ) , and after that New Austin would immediately become an unhabitable desert in a year or two . I know this is the wild West, but not even the real wild West was this wild, sometimes traveling through New Austin feels more like a post apocalyptic setting than a fictional American state.
