Just noticed that Remnant 2 (complete with all the DLC, which integrates seamlessly) is at its lowest price yet. £10/$14. Also the first game going for half that.
Hugely replayable Souls-ish shooters, even better in co-op. Also secretly the closest we've had to a Dark Tower game series.

Everything we do in life is influenced in some way by Mr Blobby, he mentally scarred all British people of a certain age. If you know, you know.
The Dr. Spotty hero card was our homage to our nightmarish OG.

How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍
