How are Obsidian still releasing games like it's the early 2000's, 5 games since 2019. 2 possibly even this year. With less than 300 employees.
These aren't small games either - 3 were open (hub) world RPG's and 1 one was online survival/crafting.
Literally how?!

Peregrine falcons have been nesting intermittently on the Parkinson Tower of the University of Leeds since 2018 and they've since set up a webcam where you can currently watch these beautiful birds incubate their eggs.
