'The Outer Worlds 2' Is a Quirky, Satirical Space Opera in the Vein of 'Fallout'
Obsidian returns to 'The Outer Worlds' with a strong sequel to their spacefaring first-person RPG
www.rollingstone.com
Hey! I reviewed The Outer Worlds 2 for @rollingstone.com and I had a grand old time. It’s a space opera RPG that in my opinions, hits the right notes.

Did the thing I manage to do during every Olympic Games:
Turn it on while events are happening live, and see an event.
Turn it on during the prime time coverage, and see the exact same event.
I’m watching this Japanese couple skate for the second time today.

Together, we raised over $600,000 for @translifeline.org this year. From the bottom of my heart, I'm so grateful. We have come together to say to our trans friends and family that they are loved and that they are not alone.
Trans rights are human rights.
When we gather together, we can make Magic.

I just want to point out just how successful this is.
Yes, $500K and counting for Trans Lifeline is a big deal on its own, but outside of ONE video, this has ALL been word-of-mouth. One community, gathering together, to make magic for an incredible cause.
Gives me faith in my fellow humans.

We just raised $500,000 for @translifeline.org. If we can raise just $60k more before 10am tomorrow, we will have broken last year's record.
Thank you to everyone showing our love and support for the trans community. When we gather together, we make MAGIC.

Holy moly. You love to see it.
I just woke up.
$425,000 for @translifeline.org. I feel like I must still be asleep, must still be dreaming that this is happening, but it's true.
You are all amazing. We have one day left. Let's make some magic! 💜🤍💙💜🤍💙

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

Not my "favorite" per se, but one that always makes me laugh is "The Ten Coolest Things About New Jersey" by The Bloodhound Gang.
It's ten seconds of silence.

Deleted a post about “what’s your least favorite song” because the vibes are bad enough already.
Instead: what’s your favorite song that has a long title, say at least 6 words long?
Mine: “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” (Pearl Jam)

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

If this chant somehow broke out in a WWE crowd, fucking HHH's music would hit and he would legit start tear-gasing the first few front rows.
