Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes (Switch, 2019)

Take it from me: I know that when you tell me as a tech guy that the computer did something 3 times in a row and didn't now that I'm looking, you think I think you're lying If anything I actually believe you more because that's the most believable explanation possible when it comes to technology
