'The Outer Worlds 2' Is a Quirky, Satirical Space Opera in the Vein of 'Fallout'
Obsidian returns to 'The Outer Worlds' with a strong sequel to their spacefaring first-person RPG
www.rollingstone.com
Hey! I reviewed The Outer Worlds 2 for @rollingstone.com and I had a grand old time. It’s a space opera RPG that in my opinions, hits the right notes.

ICE agent recognized out Christmas shopping—throws tantrum when citizens profile him.
"We're trying to prevent you from kidnapping our neighbors," they say.
"I'm not doing anything but walking, leave me alone!" he yells.
"Not right now you're not—but the past 5 days you have."

Watching this NBA game on Disney+ with the Disney characters, and it says a lot that the Disney characters used for this game are the main six (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy, Goofy, Pluto)…and Stitch.
Stitch is apparently “Mickey tier” popular now!

Showing Olivia the Pee-Wee’s Playhouse Christmas special and she’s…confused? But also into it. Which, yeah, that checks out.
(Also, watching this back, there’s an argument to be made that Paul Reubens created the first Twitch streamer in Pee-Wee.)

"we did use it when it was new but we didn't like it and never will again" is a great and satisfying answer

Surprise snow in suburban Philly! Whenever I see snow falling, my mind goes, as all of our minds do, to Diddy Kong Racing’s Frosty Village song.
