I read one of the devs later worked on Red Dead Redemption 2 and it all connected.
This game feels proto-RDR2.

Finally dabbled in OG Xbox emulation. Still rough and rather demanding on less powerful hardware like mine.
But loved finally getting a chance to play games I missed out on.

Phantom Crash

Ninja Gaiden Black

007 Agent Under Fire

Rallisport Challenge

..because that is how system is built. Those who did escape it, worked really hard or chose walk away it while they had chance (also hard).
3. An emphasis on African American Black lives. Apart Fresh Prince Bel-Air, I've not seen many shows with that focus. Need to watch more.

Still thinking about The Wire.
1. The fact you can draw parallels from Drug trade with corporate companies. This could've easily been Succession - gangsta edition.
2. Love the fact none of characters escape the system - be it police, drug trade, politics, union, teaching (contd)

Tried digital Pinball with Pinball FX3.

Just lost 100s of inactive tabs on phone Google chrome because they automatically turned on "remove tabs after some months" without my permission.
Sucks ass, all of it.

Counterpoint - CRPG Book
Hugh collaboration with other CRPG enthusiasts and their experience, plus loads of history of games from other countries never covered by western centric press.

I've head ok things about other books sold, but CRPG Book is legit.

First time since 2018, I will not buy a single thing on a seasonal Steam sale.

Saving all money for Digimon Time Stranger, before it gets delisted from India region after few months (like they have done with past 3 Digimon games).
