"The Battle of Bamber Bridge"

Although apparently there is a major glitch for launching Saints Row 2022 on PC at the moment. Not sure if it's strictly a game issue or an Epic Games launcher issue, but a lot of people are getting a crash on launch where Epic isn't recognising you have permission to run the game.

Some complaints on the shallowness of some of the characters and lack of time to the main story.

Not a game per se, but this might be of interest to a few people:

The Virtuoso. A strange and kind of compelling feel. Slow-paced unfolding of a professional assassin sent to a sleepy town to take out a hitman with only a partial clue to the target's identity. Anson Mount, Anthony Hopkins as his mentor, and the mixed bag of Abbie Cornish, David Morse, Richard Brake, and Eddie Marsan as various characters at the local diner...

The Black Hole is just a glorious film regardless. It's the one you never expected to see out of Disney in the 80's. The sheer ballz of the visuals and model design of the ship. Plus, I shall always be amused that WEG Star Wars RPG actually slipped in a Maximillian droid that had fallen through some weird spatial black hole connection and ended up in a dodgy port in one of their official adventures.. 😄

One of the things about the majority of Gaiman's stories is they they don't generally have a serious villain or such. The stories are usually focused on the mythology around storytelling rather than a focused bad guy per se. The nature of belief, of dreams and imagination, the way we perceive reality through the stories we tell each other. Or maybe that's just me being pretentious 😄
