I had been loosely following RAM shortages, but Micron leaving the consumer market made me take a deeper look.
If you're like me, and filed away as 'a thing that is happening', it's worth starting to take a look. It's getting pretty bad, pretty quick.

My dream is where I have 7 friends in a cul-de-sac I don't live in.

Zaheed is a S-Tier companion in Mass Effect, held back only by the fact that Bioware didnt think so.

I was thinking a month or two ago that Vince is up there with the absolute greats in terms of impact in the gaming industry. Just an enormous presence, and often, not recognised enough.
Horrible. RIP. Thoughts are with his family.

He was a co-creator of the Call of Duty franchise as well as the co-founder of Infinity Ward and Respawn Entertainment.

Real question: how can a competition format be more mature?

Overwatch 1, even when no new content was coming out and all we got was occasional balance patches at the end of its life, was still more enjoyable than Overwatch 2 has ever been.

I dunno what to tell you, man. I really liked Avatar 3.

The best thing about Avatar is how unashamedly weird it is. Its lore and the bio-psychodelic fixation is ripped from some back-of-the-library 1970s sci-fi book, but its the biggest film franchise in the world.

I really like the idea of a time skip for Destiny 3. Exploring the universe after a potentia lsecond fall would be interesting.
Hearing hushes about "The Guardian" and what became of them, digging through our current future as if it were past - there's something there.

I adore Marathon's vibes. It feels quite daring to have a live service game that is obviously trying to make you feel something other than a celebration of excess.
However, that also worries me. Will people consistently come back to a world that feels this antagonistic and dour?

I've been burdened with this bad joke in my head all day, so I had to make it real.

Yeah, but was Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 as good as the addition of Overwatch Stadium to Overwatch?

Excited for more Diablo 4. Really like checking in with the game when a new expansion comes up. That said, and look, I love Mephisto, but 4 has been very Mephisto heavy so far. I'd love to see a shade of something else this time.
