Hello everybody! Hope you're doing well.
This weekend's the end of October, and it's been too long since I gave an update on current projects. It's known that I'm working on Metro Exodus... Years Later, and it's been challenging to say the least. The last two months has been spent working, but not always resulting in progress.

Since you mentioned liking Tea; What are some of your favorite types of tea?
Bengal Spice is a common go to, just because you can buy big boxes of it here, but there's nothing better than a good cup of licorice spice. Goddamn, I could really go for some of that right now...

Those following me on Twitter probably saw this coming a mile away, but here's the album I've been blasting non-stop for the past couple weeks. Before listening to this EP, the only Bring Me The Horizon song I knew was Nihilist Blues, an electronic and cinematic banger, sounding like Nine Inch Nails meets M83, absolutely superb.

Y'all know me. I don't really care what other people think about video-games. Whatever I like could be rated at 10 on Metacritic, and I'd still dump hours into it, because not only should other people's opinions dictate your own, people are generally pretty unreliable critics. What was once considered a bad film can be considered good because ci...

You mentioned in the previous QA that they should get rid of Dishonored's morality system. so what do you think about "Deathloop" offering 0 consequences to your assassinations?
I've always wanted more bands, directors, and developers, to all work from the same material to showcase how much creative can interrupt the "same" thing.

I'm not the biggest Muse fan on the planet. Not that I don't love a lot of their songs, but they're one of those bands I just haven't been able to listen to an album of theirs from start to finish.

This is mainly a recommendation for those with Game Pass, as $17 CAD's a little much for an ancient puzzler from the PSP, though it is one of my favorites and not unlike Tetris, holds up so many years later.

There's a documentary I'd recommend (actually I did) RIP A Remix Manifesto. It's about Copyright and its effects on Remix Culture as well as just the world's culture. Despite being made in 2009, much of it's still relevant to the modern world, and its stories of ordinary people being taken to court over downloading music need to be preserved, fo...

It's not something you're going to hear in a video, because I've already refunded the game. Granted, I'm not surprised, I was merely curious to try this game out, as I'm rather unfamiliar with Monster Trucks despite my general love of racing.
It's certainly not a bad game. Far as ...
