Pain Points
Tom and Ben still don’t work or get cut off when they try repeating what I say
it is always glitching
why the fun option like video uploading in tv got removed
I hate how Ben has only 2 attacks but Tom has 3 and that so insane because I have no idea who thought it was a good idea to PAY
