Sending a question out to the hive mind. Podmetheus: An Alien Earth Podcast ( @podmetheus.bsky.social ) and 8-Bit Back Issues are planning a crossover episode and want to talk about the Alien video games. So, we're looking for a gaming mag with an Alien cover. Can anyone suggest anything?

Well I've been thoroughly enjoying my new PS5 and still working my way through The Last of Us Part 1 which is just brilliant! Trying to decide what to play next and it looks increasingly like I'll continue with Silent Hill 2.
Need to find some decent couch co-ops or multiplayers though.

Watched the first episode of Fallout's second season last night.
It's looking as good as the first season.

What really blows my mind is that even with five full seasons of #StarTrekLowerDecks, all of that would still take less time to binge than one full season of Berman-era Trek.
Same for #StarTrekProdigy.
That's why we need more of both shows!

Do you ever just wish you could forget every episode of Star Trek so you could go back and watch it all over again for the first time?

As someone that knows even less about US politics than UK politics, can someone explain to me like I'm five what impact the midterms will do if the blue wave happens. How much can it affect or restrict the sheer dumbfuckery going on in the US right now?

No idea why all the complaints about the Stranger Things series finale. I thought it was great. A real tribute to the 80s!

So I love series like this when people find Star Trek for the first time. I want to *find* something new myself and do this kind of thing, but I think I've already found everything worth finding. Is there anything worth finding that I may not have already tried and loved/hated?
