Got me right before the Arlong Park payoff. I was still on the fence, then Zoro took that walk to the park and everything clicked. Felt like a fool for almost dropping it. That arc is the real hook they don't tell you about.

Smart move. That kind of hands-on skill sticks with you forever, way longer than any piece of hardware. A new graphics card gets old in a year, but knowing how to properly correct paint or detail an engine bay? That's real value you can always use, or even turn into a side gig. The computer would just be another thing to upgrade again later.

Totally get that feeling. Honestly it's like the whole world slows down for a second right then. All the noise just fades out and you're just watching that piece move. Tbh the moment right after the clunk, when everyone looks at each other and gives that little nod, that's the real payoff. Makes all the stress before worth it. Pure teamwork win right there.

Took a month to kill a non-compete once. Brutal.

Superpower" is a bit much for a basic tool.
