The Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater theme was re-recorded with the original singer for the game's upcoming remake. It somehow goes even harder than the original. Cynthia Harrell is a hero, being able to sound this good 20 years later.

Hey @johnmu.com, I'm sure you know how goofy search results are right now, but Google might want to nudge things in a direction where things are less easily rigged. Great example, this is the top non-sponsored result for "best free VPN":

Honest question, has anyone, anywhere, ever, gotten PUBG: Battlegrounds to run well?
It's from 2017 and I'm playing on a modern PC and I can't get it to hit a stable 20 FPS on minimum settings. This is about where the game was when I left it previously.

Spending the day in a Starbucks (I went to a different cafe first but a fight broke out so I left). Somebody on staff had the kindness to load up the playlist with RPG themes. Brings some joy.

Now I'm not going to say that everything should always work...
But PlayStation probably shouldn't be pushing everyone toward buying all games digitally and then bricking every console that doesn't have a disk drive with a prolonged PSN outage.

When it comes to the 2024 Game of the Year discussion, I'm very firmly of the "Elden Ring DLC should be eligible" persuasion.
That said, it'd be a shame if Metaphor: ReFantazio didn't win it. Possibly the greatest JRPG ever and ambitious storytelling.
