    Was excited about Shadow Warrior 3 until I realized it said Playstation Now rather than Playstation Plus.

    Elden Ring - From Software + George RR Martin

    Feels so claustrophobic. Will just play it on my secondary monitor, but for such a big release what a half-assed way to support it on PC between this and the framerate cap.

    Licorice Pizza (2021)

    I enjoyed it like I enjoy much of what PTA does, disappointed Philip Seymour Hoffman isn't alive to see his son's performance in this.

    Playstation 5

    Might be worth a part time subscription, but like my Ubisoft one it'd be the first to go unless there's a good annual cheap option. I love subscriptions, hate the half-hearted attempt to copy Game Pass, but it's something. Before this stuff was more ubiquitous I got a lot out of the 10 hour...

    This Next Fest is always one of my favorite events. So far just played IXION, and it's pretty cool for a builder. Looking forward to seeing how that one turns out.

    Total War: Warhammer

    This looks and feels like a 10+ year old game, not sure what the deal is (it also crashed as I took this screenshot). Maybe I'll try it on a standard monitor after raids tonight, maybe these crappy images in the UI are stretched or something because of the wide resolution. I've never really...

    Lost Ark Online

    The thing that does come across as feeling revolutionary for some reason are things like 'please go collect 12 of a thing'... you kill 4 guys and get the 12. Instead of quest after quest of '10 this, 20 this, 11 this' requiring 20, 30, 40 kills. Just the way it keeps you moving instead of...

    Lost Ark Online

    Hadn't happened to me... but now has. Game ended up just closing, and after a couple more attempts (one met by a general 'an error has occured') says I'm online and account is restricted for trying to login while already online too many times. Edit: my server (Mari) now under maintenance. Yay?

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Oh man, this scene really bugged me when I saw it. Everyone pantomiming to the ceiling... and then we never actually see the ceiling aside from the small bit at the top of the shot in the back of the room, just a shadow past a window.

    The Book of Boba Fett

    Was also a bit of a callback moment for Fett, he was bested, and turned the tables leveraging the Tusken stuff. My first exposure to the character, I really liked him and hope we do get more somehow in the future. Will get around to watching some animated stuff at some point maybe.

    The Book of Boba Fett

    I'm not sure I've thought 'wow, this fight scene is like 20 minutes too long' before but here we are. Also thought the post credits scene was going to be Cad Bane, but still happy with what we got there. Really felt like 5 different shows wedged into a 7 episode season, what a schizophrenic...

    Yeah, you can only mitigate so much w/ space weather, wouldn't be surprised if the data / experience this provided will be more valuable in the long run to future launches and operations than these lost sats.

    This is a big part of it. Sony doesn't have a lot of franchises generating recurring revenue like this, GaaS. Destiny brings them this and the experienced team to help enable it to other franchises.

    Icarus (Survival, Rocketwerkz)

    They update weekly. New missions, and have started expanding the roguelike tree of workshop items you can buy. IMO this is still lacking and/or im not sweaty enough to speedrun for resources to buy the 'best' stuff - which IMO is not super over the top great anyways). Apparently there's a...

    Still enjoying this w/ friends, a couple screens. This one reminds me a lot of Conan: This base near the edge of the arctic and jungle biome had some wild lighting at different parts of the day, was great.

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    I'm enjoying Icarus. The big thing with it unlike a game like Valheim is it's session based. You drop down onto the planet, you got x time (everything from 6 real time hours to 30 days) to complete some objectives and then you blast off. No persistent base, you do your job and then get...

    Valheim - Viking Survival Game (Early Access)

    Not enough, next big update is probably worth giving it another go. Mistlands and caves in mountains or something coming soon (tm). I'm guessing by the fall this year will be when I dive back in.

    Game Pass for Xbox and PC

    Man, that game is getting panned pretty hard, the product page apparently doesn't even mention franchise mode and fans have been screaming for updates for years. Seems like if the devs could outright remove it they probably would at this point (and it's not clear if that's happened in 22 yet).
