It looks like Outer Worlds 2 from @obsidianent.bsky.social sold 1/2 of what #1 sold. That's unfortunate because it's a better game than the first. I can't stop thinking that it was the enormous price tag ($99 for the full version with 2 DLC packs) that held it back.

26 hours into "Outer Worlds 2" by @obsidianent.bsky.social and I've just finished the first chapter. This is definitely a game to dive into but also savor. They really have perfected the RPG where you can play in almost any style, with any set of skills, and find a way to succeed.

My advice: keep your coding skills up to date. In 4-8 years when it’s all falling apart you will be necessary

I firmly believe the events depicted in the pre credits opening of HR Pufnstuf are responsible for a good 75% of Gen-X trauma

"Stiller & Meara: Nothing Is Lost" is a great documentary. I read a review that said: "It's just a Ben Stiller therapy session" and I thought "have you ever watched ANYTHING Ben Stiller has ever done? They're ALL Ben Stiller therapy sessions!"

My 19-year-old was just playing DJ in the car and said "Have you ever heard Stiff Little fingers?"
How do I explain that the band was basically the soundtrack to my late teens?
My brother, the late Brandon Crist, I used to sing this one on the way to Long Beach State

Replace ping pong with architecture and Marty Supreme is basically The Brutalist, just more annoying.

Re-Playing Stonekeep programmed (in part) by the late Peter Oliphant. It plays much better in 2025 than it did 2005. Dare I say, it's fun? When I met Oliphant in 2001, he felt ostracized from the game industry after it did not live-up to expectations, but I think it needs a critical revisit now.

In movie theater. Paramount has sponsored the pre show with commercials and all of them are for modern, fantasy, western cop shows where every character has , dusty jeans , cowboy boots, a big belt buckle and a Ford F-150.

I cancelled by regular after Xmas quest to take my team from Division 2 to the Premiere League this year as I'm boycotting the stagnation of the EA FC series, so instead I'm playing a $20 physical copy of Star Wars Outlaws and I have to say, it's fairly decent!

I’m at the “I hope to one day find my books at “$1 Book-Off” state of dormant authorship.

I think what Paramount has not calculated is how little their content means to nearly anyone. It’s an easy boycott because they have hardly anything worth watching besides Colbert, and the next generation is attached to almost none of it.
