Dying Light 2 is here, though the subtitle is shite, that much is clear. Also curious Star Citizen fails at its calming persuasion, I'm fairly convinced that it exists for tax evasion. Bungie has been acquired by Sony to make live service games, I hope that they don't throw good exclusives to the flames.

So here it is viewers, our most recent of chats, please if you would be so kind drop some change in our headwear, or really, just go with Patreon, like think about maybeeee?
