The free roam changes are exciting and very much needed! I’m still hoping for the ability to login with two NNIDs when playing local online multiplayer, we’d bring it out so much more if they did.

I take it there must be an Enchantments in Western Australia for the confusion? My apologies!

Up Aasgard! We had a core permit so we stayed a night at Colchuck, two at Perfection, one at Snow, then finished our hike down. Weather cooperated for the most part, rained on us for a couple of hours our first at Perfection but was dry the rest of the time.

Did you make the trek recently?

That’s…actually correct and I didn’t realize it! I’ve thought the goat on the left was mid-jump but you’re right, zooming in makes it pretty clear the rocks are there. My wife and I have loved that picture since we snapped it, but I’m going to blame it on hiking exhaustion mixed with seeing what we wanted to see.

Hope the picture is cool regardless, but you’re totally right. Here’s another picture we took as a consolation prize - and the goat is definitely jumping in this one!

Good eye! We were backpacking up there end of July, my phone says it was taken July 31st.

No new releases from Naughty Dog partnered with big IPs like God of War and Horizon releasing early in the PS5’s lifecycle with no news from those studios is really making it feel stagnant from a first party perspective. When you list out the releases, the slate doesn’t look too bad; we have a new Spider-Man, Astro Bot and Helldivers were excellent surprises, and Ghost of Yotei is right around the corner. The issue for me is after Yotei releases, there isn’t anything we are aware of that I can think of off the top of my head that’s coming soon, except maybe Wolverine.

Intergalactic is obviously exciting, but there’s no way that game is coming before 2027 (if not 2028 or beyond). Guerrilla is surely making a new Horizon game which COULD make next year, but we’ll see. The PS5 release schedule has just felt pretty slow since 2022, and beyond 3rd party support, it doesn’t feel like there is anything huge coming to give it momentum.

Turns out I liked getting fucked so I needed to find another outlet after leaving Spez…

Have some respect. It isn’t just a can of beans. The can clearly says it’s with fucking tomato sauce.

I absolutely adored these games! Download play was one of the coolest things back then when games were small enough it wouldn’t take forever to transmit ‘guest copies’.
