Fuck Spotify
In April 2024, Spotify implemented a new scheme: songs with less than 1k streams per year would no longer receive royalties.
The data for 2025 was just released via Luminate, and 88% of songs have been demonetized.
Read it again: 88% of songs on Spotify have been demonetized.

Mentioned it yesterday but these two are genuinely great little stealth games with a moderately irritating protagonist (especially in the second).
The levels are very dense and VERY vertical, with a lot of climbing around/over/under buildings. Very limited combat but backstabs are highly encouraged

ICE officers slipping on ice while trying to terrorize communities is the most accurate metaphor imaginable. No balance. No footing. No moral ground. Just cruelty, incompetence, and gravity doing its thing.
