    Small unlucky differences like that among players can really make or break a game experience, for sure. I got through the starting areas in Last Epoch on release very quickly, and I only experienced a few crashes that didn’t prevent me from having a great time all the way to endgame. That was pure luck I think, bc when I maxxed my character out there were still a lot of players struggling with login and loading crashes, and I know some who refunded the game because they couldn’t even get in.

    I thought it was great on release. Bugs were mostly easy to work around or beneficial and didn’t stop me from completing the game. I stumbled onto a bug that was basically infinite money and unlocked all the cars and motorcycles before it was quickly patched. Also a way to terrain glitch the psychos and beat them when I should’ve have been strong enough. Cruising through content when you feel like you’re breaking the world like Neo dropped into a William Gibson novel is exactly what I wanted from a cyberpunk game.

    If there were a steady growing economy and no crazy events for the next 20 years, and no major health issues, my Roth 401k would probably be enough for a modest retirement.

    I was just wondering what the penalty would be to withdraw everything before 59, so I could figure out if it would be enough to immigrate somewhere with reasonable healthcare and a social safety net that would take those worries out of the equation. I think since it’s Roth it would just be 10% of gains + one-time capital gains tax?

    It might be enough. Simply having a lump of $ makes so many more countries welcome to immigrants.
