Free this week - "Epic Pack" for Paladins + Stubbs The Zombie.

I'll absolutely give Taxi Driver a good home.

Another good feedback hands on preview from a big Forza streamer. Lots of good in depth impressions here.

Whole bunch of hands on previews going up today it looks like. 4 weeks to go??

PC Building Simulator is currently free.

I liked the Dr.Strange one as well. The Zombies / Killmonger ones were not good.

Caught up with "What If...". Not sure if I liked it overall. The lows were really low, and the final was largely awful.

I'm a few episodes in - watch it with subs not dubs - and enjoying it, though they've spent more time "out" of the game than I expected. It's bizarrely blowing up big time in the mainstream.

This arrived in the mail, for 100 rides, though I'm about to hit 100 walks too. Bike arrived middle of March, but it was July where I really kicked it into being routine. Down 25+ pounds so far, saw a digit I haven't seen in 18 months, and my blood numbers are all healthy except cholesterol. Doc is happy. Another 25 pounds or so will get me to just "overweight" on the BMI scale.

Europa Universalis IV is currently free.

I genuinely don't need any more Zombicide. Still to seriously play 2.0.

Oh that gets onto a completely different topic that I can't really post about. GamePass success metrics.

Oh that's a fun interesting (to me anyway) topic that's not as obvious as it first appears. Moving to free to play removes "friction" to try it, sure, but you do lose up front guaranteed revenue (even if it's just a $10 on sale key)... It also means the players who do buy it are likely more 'engaged' than the average free to play player - by overcoming the 'friction' of buying in, that player is more likely to play or drop cash on upgrades etc. That make sense?

For sure. The show has done a really good job of moving past superficial drama quickly. I trust it to continue.

I'd argue your spoiler has been obviously brewing for a whole series.

Up for sale again. They got bought for 1.2b by a private equity firm a couple of years back. Crazy growth for something not making much profits.

It felt like the game threw cars at you in FH4.

Football is life. Glad you liked it. It's fantastic tv that hit home really hard with the divorce plot.

Knife skills class was really interesting. Lots of vegetable prep, lots of learning, and a good group. Came home with a big bag of prepped veggies for soup tomorrow.

I was gonna say - try Descenders. It's a little lowfi at times, but it's been an awesome "chill out" game that I keep coming back to.

Speed Brawl + Tharsis are currently free.

The Keyforge stuff is bizarre + weird operational situation to be in. I've seen a few theories... Something is seriously messed up on a company culture / procedure level.

Tonight's gaming was straightforward - a couple of new Queen games (a Feld take on Dominion & a dice race game) and Railroad Ink. All easy to learn for gamers, with some nice takes on their genres. I almost won Scrap Racer. I did abysmally at Railroad Ink, a good 20 points behind.

Last weekend, for Labour Day, was the usual day of gaming out in Liberty Hill at good friends' place after a completely unhealthy Chicken Fried Steak at one of the best places to have it in the state. A few new games, some favourites, and a "two table teach" of Dune Imperium that was a ton of fun. I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. Lunch: The games:
