This was a fun one. Glad to see he's finally getting some paper form Woodland Scenics (or at least free stuff) considering how much free advertising he's given them over the years.

I'm torn. More For All Mankind is good, but the Soviet stuff we've seen already is a big bummer for me. (not to get into spoilers) Generally I like a paranoid thriller, but not if my faves are tied up in it!

I've heard people say you should start a new game. Which I did. But I think you'd be ok to jump in if you wanted. There's a new neighborhood that it mostly takes place in. To start it, you have to complete some main game story mission about 3/4 of the way in, if I remember correctly.

If you're really enjoying yourself I'd considering picking up Phantom Liberty as well. I played through the main game shortly after it came out on PS5. I was very 'meh' about it. But I recently picked up Phantom Liberty and started a whole new game, I probably doubled my play time, and still spent 4-5 hours after I'd finished all the story missions, just bumming around bc I was still so enamored of it. The story missions in Phantom Liberty are, in my opinion, better, bigger, and more emotional than the main game.

This is really lovely. Keep us updated on the progress.

This is a shame. But I'm honestly surprised London Studio lasted this long. I loved Blood & Truth, but I'm surprised that they were sustained on Sing Star games for two decades. I mean, I know from a corp perspective they want to buy up people to stifle competition and then they don't need the people because they never intended to utilize the output. But like, gosh, use what you've got. How bad could their fantasy London game have been for them to not only axe it but shut down the dev...

Expropriate or bust!

Alba is a really sweet game with a photography mechanic. It's short and usually cheap and well worth the time you'll spend with it if it sends like something you'd like.

It's grim. Obviously twitter still holds sway over a lot of people. And spreading malinformed propaganda is bad.

But it really underlines that anyone with any conscience whatsoever needs to disengage from it. It's not okay for governments to engage with it. And though I don't suggest that capital cares has any sort of conscience, but engaging with it has been increasing in cost and decreasing in benefit. NPR recently left, for example, and saw nearly no impact whatsoever. So the cost of leaving is low.

Ideally people would deny it any money, advertising or otherwise, until it ceases functioning. I suspect Musk will continue to be a delusional asshole for years to come. But at least twitter will be dead and gone.

Neat!
