Coming Jan 2022.

I started playing this and I am fucking hooked. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1476170/Godstrike/

Bought a 2BHK in my hometown just before the pandemic hit and while I haven't really been there in a while due to travel restrictions I'll completely own it by the end of next year and it has ocean-front access so I like that. Came out to around 240K USD but it was worth it in the end. I sometimes forget we have threads like this.

I thought about deep fakes and then i said to myself "its already happening and does that mean we stop advancing?" Then I thought it would be cool to have someone like DeNiro tell me the news so why not? haha.

I'm surprised more folks didn't go to La Liga.

This is Disney. They will make so many that the only people who wont be sick is kids oh and McDonalds.

Army of the Dead - 6/10 Have to agree with Cicero that it was terribly entertaining but in the end it turned a bit formulaic. The dialog is funny as expected but you just really cant buy into how the characters are motivated or go about doing what they do.

Gotta say your backlog in itself is amazing haha.

Finally finished Curse of the Dead Gods last night and thank the fuck its over. Its very good but when you get run down before beating a final boss it can get a bit annoying. I am also at the end of RE8 (i think) so with that out of the way I'll start playing to finish the new Nier that came out recently in Japan. Apparently its supposed to be very good but I havent read too much about it.

You're in for a treat with that game.

Its an X-Mount so there are some adapters and lots of lenses now from Rokinon and Zeiss, etc. I think their standard lenses are pretty good too.

I used one recently and it just felt right for some reason. Granted its got fast-auto-focus issues but I think I can get away from those. My only issue in India is getting lenses I want and its mostly sold as a video camera here more than one that takes stills.

Back on the photo content. After almost four months of trying to source this thing at it MSRP I finally found someone who can get me one in October when they come down so I am getting one. Sad to move away from Canon after all the years its been used and basically taken around but I think I am going to like Fuji when I finally get my hands on it. https://fujifilm-x.com/global/products/cameras/x-t3/

Next you'll tell me Santa Claus isn't real.

https://kotaku.com/ign-staff-criticizes-managements-decision-to-pull-artic-1846910750 I only posted this here because it relates to whats going on between Israel and Palestine right now. I get that its censorship and editorial suppression but at the same time I read the IGN article and I think there was nothing wrong with it. Now, the only thing management could have really done was say something to the effect of "Please add support for Israel too". However, with what they did they've made it pretty clear which side of the "war" they are supporting even if they say shit like its an All people's issue.

Haha. Well they have made some crackers especially in the Vania series so I can't see an issue there. I read somewhere that they are now outsourcing the entire Metal Gear series to an external development house to be remade.

Excellent series. If you've never played it before and its pretty cheap I'd go get it.

I am looking for something a bit more from Venom honestly. Its about a guy with a symbiote expanding his anger and fear so I kinda wish Sony go this route. Also, bringing Spiderman into the mix would be a good idea which I can thoroughly see Sony using. I liked the first one too with its crude jokes but they tried to get serious a bit too fast imo.
