I honestly think it'd be tough to do so without a lore dump. Or a very, very specific direction. But I do agree.
Rogue Trader, cRPG, does a good job of depicting the insanity of humankind, but it is flooded with lore. Though I guess their singular Space Marine is also more of a tortured hero type.

It's reminiscent in all the best ways of games from the late 90s/early 00s in that it only focuses on entertaining gameplay. Blast to play and such a treasure for WH40K fans in terms of mood, lore and visuals. Shooter/melee hybrid.

Have you played Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 yet? Or the first one that was just remastered.
Would probably be right up your alley in terms of (lack of) collectibles, etc. Also theme wise. And all things Warhammer. And atmosphere. And pure fun, fun, fun gameplay. Highly recommend it!

Also bold move from Black Mirror to cast Rashida Jones as the bed-ridden dying wife, when Key & Peele exists in our timeline.

As a journalist I understand why magazines/sites want to cover the latest episodes, especially with big twists, but as a reader it is just disheartening being robbed of that watching experience.
Especially when everyone is "not-spoiling-but-actually-very-much-spoiling" with the headline already.

Just a quick update: I've played 15-20 hours after this. So, yeah, go play it, now.

At 5 063 words my first draft of my first ever classified as a short story is done.
Considering I came up with the idea in the last 24 hours and also wrote it during that time, I am rather pleased. Quality be damned.

Thanks, and I will, upcoming night most likely! Every now and then my brain just goes to overdrive and I can't sleep, no matter what, so I'm used to it. I just decided to be productive outside my brain this time. 🙂
And it's now over 3600 words, with only one short story left to write. So progress!
