Whoa. Trent Reznor is bringing back NIN. That alone perks my interest.

I was going to say Wakanda would have double the tax.

Yeah, I played a bit of Indy on my PC and realized this will look a lot better on my TV. I'm excited for the PS release.

Xenonauts 2 just released a stable build of Milestone 5, which means the game is now able to be completed. This is the last milestone before release, so now it is just about balancing and fixing bugs. I started a new campaign. It is fantastic!

My mom always made carbonara with pancetta for my birthdays, so that is my favorite way to do it. I love it, but I can also feel my arteries clogging when I eat it at this stage in my life. It's a pretty rich dish.

I just finished it with the wife as well. It was a lot of fun. I'm excited for the Neagley spin-off series.

My little town has had quite a bit of drama lately. For the last 5 years, a MAGA group has been camping out every Friday on a Freeway overpass that leads into town. Traffic is already miserable on Friday, so commuters get a nice look at all their posters as they crawl through the gridlock. Most of the posters are anti-vax and pro Trump stuff. They even have a local celebrity that got arrested on January 6th in the bunch. Last Friday, this ended up getting flown: This caused quite the stir, with people calling them out all over the media, and the Trumpsters crying out that it wasn't them. Yesterday (Thursday) some of the group decided to respond to the flag by flying this: So today (Friday) there is supposed to be a counter protest, where a bunch of non-MAGA folks go up and confront the MAGA folks. I am sure that will end well. I am sure it will be on the news.

I wonder if they just choose a random game to throw in with Diablo? I mean, I assume Project Zomboid isn't paying for bot advertisements.

The Last Showgirl - This made Anora look like a bubbly romantic comedy. It was pretty bleak all around. That being said, Jamie Lee Curtis was phenomenal and the cast as a whole was really good. I love all the Vega glitz, so I really enjoyed the setting. But it definitely was a downer. Worth a watch when you want to be depressed.

I thought the new thing was people get angry the employees of the company rather than the content of the game. For example, the anti-woke crowd got all mad about Avowed because an artist on the game posted some stuff online that hurt their feelings. In terms of Kingdom Come, I thought Theresa's DLC was the best part of the game. A Women's Lot was a great short story and you didn't have to play the absolute lug Henry. Honestly the only characters in the first Kingdom Come that don't come across as idiots are the women.

Anora - My wife chose this one, but I enjoyed it for the most part. People had told me it ended badly, which I thought was a given based on the premise, but I was surprised by:

Come on, like we all haven't accidently texted top secret military plans at one time or another. Perfectly honest mistake. Some people drunk text d-pics, others send bombing reports.

Did you read your own review? "Everything was great. Game was a letdown."
