Death From Above

"Well, it's official: Murder is now legal in the state of California"

They're running Edmonton on May 8th and working real hard to talk me out of buying a seat. I honestly don't know if there's anyone in wrestling I give less of a fuck about than CM Punk except for maybe Billy Gunn and Jeff Jarrett

Oh man you're going to have a good time with Perfect Dark. Frankly it's held up a lot better than Goldeneye even if that one gets a lot of nostalgia points (and is still fun in its own way don't get me wrong).

I'm watching the ETU vs Dragon Gate show now. Alec Price vs Shun Skywalker is really a lot of fun.

I don't think I realized how much I needed the simple joy of that DEAN show. Just a bunch of good fucking pro wrestling with good people. Soul food.

Oh, and having dumped Spotify for Tidal a while ago, I really don't miss it at all. I feel like I still have access to 99% of the stuff I had anyway (there's even a playlist transfer option though I had so many that only about a third of it made it over lol), with the added bonus I can now listen to Neil Young without needing shitty bootleg MP3s or whatever. Plus, you know, no Joe Rogan.

I never gave a single fuck about The Police because, honestly, Sting isn't a very good singer and I'm baffled by the love for the guy. Copeland absolutely tore shit up in Oysterhead, though, so he's cool.

I've had a couple very small feed hiccups but, like, I live in rural Canada the fact I have internet at all is a true miracle of modern science. This show has exceeded my wildest expectations. Something for everyone and that dog collar match was actually fucking insane.

It's a part of our history, like stuffing instead of potatoes.

I will be watching from home. It makes me feel good, for a change, to know that so many of my fellow DVDVR's that I've known online forever will be watching too.

One of the weird things I've discovered I like on Tiktok is there are home inspectors that will show you all the insane bullshit people will try and get by inspections, and also how some inspectors really don't give a shit as long as they get paid. There's a lot of new construction going on that is just fucking ridiculously bad too. It's a real jungle out there.

I immediately think less of people that take anything Punk says at face value. We have like 2 decades of obvious examples that it's a dumb idea.

I swear that my cat has been randomly checking in on me lately just to see that I'm okay. We don't deserve animals, man.

I had this one too lmao

Backstage Assault is incredible for just how difficult it is to overstate how bad it really was. Looked like shit, full of shit design ideas, controls that calling shit would be generous to, it really was the complete package. A hall of fame bad video game.

Baldur's Gate 3 is still hanging around in the top 10 most concurrent players on Steam, which is downright incredible for a full price single player experience. Everything else on the list is your free to play and/or multiplayer behemoths. Well, and right now Stardew Valley has returned to the top 10 so I assume it's on sale again. It's very hard to think of the last single player focussed title that maintained this sort of momentum on the charts for this long, so even based solely on PC sales Larian made insane amounts of bank. Walking away from doing DLC or BG4 is absolutely leaving 9 figures on the table for the company, because hey, maybe they have enough money. What a novel idea.

People marking out about belts and I'm over here just happy that Eddie Kingston is having a 3 year run where he has, like, every concievable Kingston dream match one after another. What a fucking ride, man.

I really hope the DLC's add an actual reason for base building to be in the game because as it is, it feels like a thing someone designed and was then tacked on but has no actual relation to the game they built. Say what you will about settlement building in Fallout 4 but at least it was connected to the actual game experience. There's also a definite sense that none of the faction playthroughs have any meaninful impact on the game world. I enjoyed the game, but the other thing that desperately needs reworking is the planetary exploration. There's just so much... nothing. The more I played this game the less I liked it, though overall I still loved my first playthrough. It desperately needs the mod community so like Fallout 4 it can actually be finished. Fallout 4 with mods absolutely rules so hopefully Starfield gets that creation kit sooner rather than later. The more disconnected I am from playing it (and having briefly tried the gong show that is Fallout 76 since) the more concerned I am for Elder Scrolls 6. There's a real distinct sense of a company that doesn't have any new ideas, even if the old ideas were executed mostly well. But it's not like as an overall publisher Bethesda has actually had a good last few years. They've put their publisher name on a lot of junk recently that definitely has people asking questions.

So I've heard people who have generally good taste for years say try Hunt: Showdown. I always don't try it because it's a Tarkov-style game and I fucking suck at PVP. But the current steam sale suckered me in. Yeah, go try Hunt: Showdown. It's an amazing PvPvE cross between the late stage wild west and, like, Resident Evil. The atmosphere rules, the matchmaking is actually pretty solid at keeping normal people away from the true sharks, and I actually find the PvE elements really fun. It's also another game that is absolutely gorgeous when it isn't trying to fucking kill you.

I'm very happy the remake exists because the original on PC does Very Weird Things with a lot of modern graphics cards.

I don't even think it looks that much better than the original. Like, the game started in development years ago and it already looks dated before it releases in beta.

I swear to God, I have watched all the POE 2 trailers and it just looks like POE but they put a 2 on it to me.
