You mentioned some time ago that there is a "The Heart of Cyberpunk 2077" video kicking around in your head. With the latest update kinda turning the narrative around the game, which was your main obstacle to covering it at the moment, should we get our hopes up?

Not in my head, complete on digital paper. However, I wouldn't expect this video to get made anymore at this juncture. It'd be a total of 5-6 minutes, and I'd rather cover that game in much more extensive fashion in the future. I am likely to integrate parts of that script into say a "Years Later" analysis of that game.

You know… I'll just upload the script onto here sometime.

Are there any outstanding video game mods that you think more people should know about?

Honestly, it's been a long time since I really delved into mods. Stalker Anomaly's the main one I've said numerous times before of promising myself to get into. I've also been sitting on a lot of what look to be really good standalone campaigns for things like Quake, DOOM, and Wolfenstein, the main one being Blade of Agony.

Unfortunately, my last modding experience was a Sim Racing game (GTR2) that lasted hours and hours and hours for not much gain, and a month later, none of it nor the game's original folders work anymore, presumably something to do with a Windows Update.

I've learned to mostly stick with Mods that are relatively accessible. I remember hesitating to boot up Mass Effect Andromeda for Mods because it seemed needlessly complicated, but actually, once you got one tool for Frostbite, it was just drag and drop.

The beauty of modding is tweaking something to exactly your preferences.
