Totally memory holed that Activision published Angry Birds: Star Wars, a launch game for PS4/XB1. Apparently it was $50 😮

Okay this campaign is actually kinda busted. Next mission my guns disappeared. When I did restart checkpoint it actually moved me ahead in the mission lol

The Battlefield 6 campaign is pretty bland and very rough around the edges. I just missed some vital information because a character failed to load into the final mission cutscene 🤷🏻‍♂️

The Nazi world reveal was incredible and set the stage for some fascinating stuff. But all that potential is completely wasted with the final two episodes. The nature of that twisted would really had zero impact on the overall plot or character development.

So that Peacemaker finale was pretty bad huh

I’ve missed hearing Woody Allen’s voice - I’d been so rattled this week and there he was, his full self.

[Me, a poor, on the subway, glowering jealously at all those fat cat, fancy pants rich people on the public bus]

Andrew Cuomo tweet:

@ZohranKMamdani's "plan" provides no relief for working families who take the subway, and unnecessary benefits to wealthy New Yorkers who take the bus and can afford the fare.

I focus on working families, while @ZohranKMamdani the mansion boy focuses on helping the rich.

Text from news report:

“Tensions between Venezuela and America soared following the attack, but Machado insisted to The Sunday Times that Trump was right to bomb the boat.
"I totally support his strategy," Machado said.
"And I've said on behalf of the Venezuelan people that we are very grateful. I think it is the right thing to do. It's courageous. It's visionary."”

Extra funny when you think about how Sinners, which features Michael B. Jordan gunning down Klansmen in broad daylight in slow-mo, is the 10th highest-grossing R-rated film of all time - higher than The Hangover, 300, Logan, John Wick 4, etc....

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke
