I have continued my Kenshi antics, killing slavers and freeing everyone. I have most of the UC slave farms down now and finally finished my "I got the Phoenix" world tour and handed him to the Shek.

Also bashed through a lot of Jump Space with friends. 4p co-op mission-based PvE space FPS, think Deep Rock on a ship. Love it. Incredible pacing, honest. Could use some player progression, but I'm assuming that's just the early-access-ness. If this is all that ever comes of it, I'll still have gotten my money's worth and would just think of it as a bit repetitive on the content. But fun as hell.

Tried Arc Raiders. Absolutely furious about it. Gamers suck. Thought this could be a learning moment for them since all meaningful loot comes from not-other-players, so the PvPvE should really lead to mostly PvE play and freeform team-ups, but gamers are gamers and deserve the gulag. It's just another Tarkov; most players are pieces of shit. (Note: I have not gotten good, but the moral judgement stands.)

I haven't had much time for video games, but I have managed to play a little more Yakuza 0. Still laughing at the complete tonal whiplash between the wholesome/comedic tone of most of the sidequests compared to the gritty seriousness of the main story so far. I kind of dig it.

That game is great, an absolute masterpiece of both comedy and genuine dramatic storytelling.

Yeah! I'm glad you're enjoying Y0. You've identified what makes Yakuza so interesting; it's the dichotomy began a gritty, serious crime drama and wild, unhinged side quests and characters. I don't know how the full series plays out, but Kiryu is a great example of a non-toxic male character.
