Vocal fry doesn't bother me in the least, and critiques of it largely come down to patriarchal bullshit, because it's all over traditionally masculine-associated speech patterns (god forbid a woman creak), but a high-rising terminal, regardless of who's speaking, will never fail to make the speaker sound stupid.

Hearing a "professional" podcaster speaking with vocal fry and valley-girl up-talk just makes me sad and my ears sad.

Should I buy Red Dead Redemption 2 for the PS again (atm 70% off), even though I already own the game for Steam? Even though I already played it once? But I will definitely want to play it again in the future and would definitely prefer to do so from the comfort of my sofa? Even if there's a small chance I figure out how to play my Steam games on my TV someday (e.g. with a SteamDeck)? And even though there's a 1% chance the game will get a PS5 update?
