Predator: Badlands was pretty damn good. It was cool to see them expanding the lore for Predator culture, too.
Also, if anyone has read Harry Harrison's "Deathworld," the movie's exactly like that... except with Predators and synthetics.

I have to commend Cyberpunk 2077 for having me view a cut scene by literally having my character hide inside a giant TV monitor and watching the scene play out from within.
The metaphors and irony of the whole thing is still blowing my mind.

Grats to @expedition33.bsky.social for their wins at the Golden Joystick awards, well-deserved. I enjoyed the title very much, and the team did a great job. Kudos to @sandfallgames.bsky.social, looking forward to what comes next!

Loving @expedition33.bsky.social, thank you, SandfallGames. Great voice acting, characters, companions, and a beautiful (and shattered) world.
Also, kudos for them not including a mini-map, it actually started me making old school maps of dungeons again. I actually feel like I’m exploring.

Kudos to the Chinese Room for trying to salvage Bloodlines 2, but several missteps from Hardsuit (the former devs) and Paradox occurred before it reached their hands, unfortunately. To this day, I couldn't tell you who actually made these calls. : (

What the Fuck Happened to Bloodlines 2?
So since I made a statement about what happened last year, I’ve been getting a lot of questions that have nothing to do with it. Thanks for…
