Finished Fallout.

Kinda sucked with its later reveals but the main cast was great. Nails the feeling of the world too.

Shocked it has great ratings because it's much closer to Halo than tlou imo, but it's awesome how well video game tv shows are doing.

I may have just bought 4 different 4K collections of BBC documentaries narrated by David Attenborough.

So I now have 5 4k "TV series"

that video looks horrible.  
It's a modder hacking around. Only point is that the city loads without crashing.

The pauses for level streaming would suck if they happened like that during real gameplay.

Returning samples from Mars will require a new plan, NASA says | CNN

So happy. The plan was so stupid and would have killed so many other projects with its bloated budget.

I'm pretty sure SpaceX will now just pick them up with a starship based mission.

Yeah i'm getting very sick of the AAA space thinking that games need to be these monstrosities with 100 hours of content.  And that in itself is lowering  the quality bar because everyone is trying to do the same old open world crud. Give me $50 - $60 singleplayer games that are fairly linear with minimal to no side content and that would be awesome.

I think ND struck a good balance with TLOU part 2 with giving a bit more freedom, but the entire story still bing a very strict linear story.

I don't know if I would consider Banishers a AAA game, but it felt like it got trapped in the need to have more open worlds and a lot of unnecessary content. It made it a real slog to get through. Even though you could just run through the story a lot of the side stuff felt necessary to get the full experience.
100% agree about Banishers. I thought I would be done by 25 hours but I have 35 hours of content but not finished. The combat and world doesn't have enough depth to be this big. I would much rather a tighter and shorter experience. Surely it would shorten the development time and reduce the cost and improve quality. Pubs fixation on length is becoming grating but I get it as people want their money worth £70.
