Credits on Pirate Yakuza, what a weird little game. Silly, fun, final villain monologue about how pointless the entire thing was as a story, a good time.

See, I think the reason BG&E 2 is going to eventually come out is that the entire game is just a way of making a new engine for Ubi to use on other open-world projects.

First episode of Starfleet Academy was fun, breezy and we both really enjoyed it. It’s fun that Star Trek changes tone and style with each show, it never stays still.

As screenwriter of the Labubu movie I want to clear up some misconceptions. Yes, technically they do eat human flesh, but only necrotic tissue around wounds. Doctors use them to clean up injuries and promote positive health outcomes. Labubus are humanity’s allies, except for evil Labubus of course

Swoon neglected to tell us that they did not in fact have the dining table we ordered in stock when we ordered it, and that it would likely never come back in stock. Incredible effort there.

Finally finished Assassin's Creed Shadows last night. At least I think I did, I got a credits sequence about 5 hours before what felt like the actual ending, and I've never been more baffled as to how to progress a story. A good time though.
