Random Video Game Crap

So there's a Russian Youtuber, Warlockracy, who does reviews mostly on weird Fallout 2 total conversions (which are big outside of the anglosphere apparently) and he posts generally once a month and I'll tell you, since he's not coy about his opinions on the situation in Russia, I'm happy and slightly relieved every time he posts a new video.
They've been doing wrestling for years now.
Yeah, their wrestling career started as a mockery of Cody Rhodes' Stardust character that hasn't existed for.....6 years, long, long before they came out as non-binary. Jesus it's been a long time.
Which slowly transformed into their current Commander Sterling character, which is a much different thing.

Yeah Sterling has been a professional wrestler for like five or six years now.
Yeah, they were doing it in Boston and Mississippi (even doing the long drives for that just to get the experience) but never got the push they needed because American Wrestling audiences are so hostile to LGBTQA people in general. They've got their own promotion over in England now, where they'll be going up against Kid Bandit (a fucking huge indie wrestler that recently went up against Malakai Black from AEW).
For everything Witcher 3 has to offer, I'm actually surprised you CAN'T fish.
Mmmmm. This aged well!

"PC gaming is dead" has been an on-going sentiment off and on for more than a decade, usually coming up whenever Sony, Microsoft, or Nintendo get a killer exclusive. Usually for the same reasons...
- It costs too much to get into
- The PC gaming community is too toxic
- PC gaming doesn't get killer exclusives like consoles do
- etc
Dear gaming industry,
Sometimes when I go climb into my escapist video game fantasy world(s), I do so because I want to be left the fuck alone, and not because I felt like spending some quality rando time stumping for LFG's.

The AAA Games Industry send this engraved message on customized letterhead:
"Dear Consumer,
Why is our money cow talking to us like its opinion matters? Just look at the flashing lights and open your wallet like a good little customer."

The indie developing world also sent this on a Post-It:
"Dear Patrick,
I know, right? Fuck those guys."
(but the handwriting varied from word to word, and a smear of mustard was on the Post-It, so... kind of a mixed bag).
I think it's going exactly as everyone expected
It's not just that. Some people using prepaid phone plans can not play the game. To play it's required to use a SMS authentification system.
Looks like Blizzard leave people with prepaid phones out of Overwatch 2, thinking they couldn't afford the battle pass anyway.
It's turning into a 100% default assumption that everyone has an active phone with SMS available. A decent number of Canada's government websites require it now; get fucked if you don't have a cell, I guess.
Overwatch 2 Launch Status Update
Hello, heroes. Yesterday was an exciting day for the Overwatch team—a day that we know you have been looking forward to for a long time. While millions of people have been enjoying the game, the launch has not met your, or our, expectations. First, we want to apologize to our players. We...
