I have… a lot of mixed thoughts on Black Ops 7’s non-Zombies narrative, i.e. the Co-op missions that set the stage for the PvE Extraction shooter.
I’m intentional not calling it the single player, or the campaign, even the game itself forgoes that, clearly noting it’s “Co-op Campaign”, a first?

Gambling is an intrinsically vampiric industry, it makes nothing and adds nothing, and taxing it more heavily is a plan with no drawbacks
Betting firm threatens to end its entire High St presence if it has to pay any more tax bit.ly/4qhaL1j yet another in the too rich and too important to pay tax series
If gambling tax rises, we’ll shut all our 1,300 shops, warns Betfred
Increased levies expected to be imposed in next month’s budget could cost the company 7,000 jobs, according to Joanne Whittaker, the chief executive

Bad Bunny was born in Puerto Rico, which is part of the United States. Ted Cruz was born in Canada.
Bad Bunny is eligible to run for president because he’s a natural born citizen. Ted Cruz is not.
Thought that was a fun little fact.

I love the detail of the worldbuilding in Transformers. For example, while many Decepticons often literally transform into fighter jets they're still regularly beaten in battles due to the Autobots' more consistent communications, as Decepticons don't connect in aeroplane mode.

Really impressed with my first 5 hours on Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Mostly spent time with Naoe so far, she’s the first “RPG” protag for the series that actually feels like a proper assassin imo
Stealth finally feels engaging in the open environments too
Mainly though… you can build a zoo!

As the guy that made the last Balatro, I did sign with a publisher (later in development) and in my case I really don't think Balatro would have blown up the way it did without them. Tons of my fellow devs are looking for support for their dream - and I know plenty that attend these events!
Publisher bizdev people at events like GDC and Dice trying to sign "the next balatro" should realize that, statistically, the developer of "the next Balatro" you need to be talking to isn't at GDC or Dice talking to bizdev guys seeking 2m+ in funding

Post-Weisshaupt (so over the 50% mark afaik) now in my Veilguard playthrough. Not without its problems, my 40+hrs in Northern Thedas have been a delight.
Some narrative threads might be a tad blunt in their execution but that’s nothing new for Dragon Age
Returning characters are sadly the weak link

We had a lot of fun with #CaptainAmerica #BraveNewWorld... but wow poor Mackie keeps ending up in projects let down by evidently cut plot threads.
Mackie's Cap, Ramirez' Falcon, and Lumbly's Isaiah make a great trio in the opening act while Ford steps admirably into the late William Hurt's role.
