Pre GPT data is going to be like the steel they fish up from before there were nuclear tests.
Predator: Killer of Killers was pretty fun. It's an anthology movie, but it also expands on the Predator lore. They don't just collect trophies, they also collect specimens who proved to be a match for them. In this case, a viking mother, a ninja and a WW2 fighter pilot. And the ending stinger reveals that the protagonist of Prey is still alive, although in cold storage.
Glitch Studios made a deal with Amazon Prime, so I'm rewatching Murder Drones. Knowing what's going to happen makes it easier to appreciate all those blink-and-you'll-miss-it visual gags.
Captain America: The Most Recent One was very forgettable. What a waste of good actors.
Migration to #switch2 was mostly painless. While the cables were a bit shorter than with the first one, the charging cable has now USB-C on both ends. System migration went fine and there’s a card slot for Switch 1 games. The only gotcha is that it requires a faster SD card for extra storage.

I tried Dead as Disco. The story mission teasers were fine, but the infinite mode doesn’t pose much of a challenge. The main input from music is the BPM, and even that’s static across the runtime of the track. So you don’t get the tempo rampup like you get in One Finger Death Punch, and you don’t get the intensity changes like in Beat Hazard either.

The beat matching is very forgiving, unlike in Crypt of the Necrodancer, which will ignore input and eventually fail you if you can’t keep pace.

I’m watching the Mountainhead. The main characters are not quite any techbro you know, but there’s a mixture of vibes.

I'm a fan of stealth games, but one variant has so far eluded me: Picture safari games. On paper, they have many things in common with the more common cutthroat stealth games: You have to avoid not only your target's attention, but also everyone else in the environment. While you can snipe, the best shots are up close and personal.

However, I'm not sure whether there's any game out there that also simulates the ecosystem; To get the shot you want, you'd also need to know the target's behavior.

I've been watching Bojack Horseman intermittently for a year or two, so I only got to the New Mexico episode today. I get that the protagonist is a piece of shit that somehow continues to reach new lows. But still.
New Black Mirror episode just dropped:
