It really is. I even got the wife to say she would like to play it more.
Cities: Skylines World Tour - The Last Stops
A whole bunch of DLC, like content creator packs, which will probably be the last line of updates the game before the sequel comes out. So, one last hurrah before the sequel, basically.
Some of it sounds solid, too. I'm curious about the free update to the base game called Hubs & Transport. And the shopping malls and sports venues updates sound fun, too.

Why isn't this Rice Krispies? Surely the "snap crackle pop" goes better with Creeper *hiss boom* than Frosted Flakes.
Also, are Pop Rocks going to do a Minecraft tie-in? Because "creeper bits" should be explosive.
I don't expect product tie-ins to make sense any more. Too many of them are dreamt up and implemented by line-goes-uppers, meaning the only thought put into them is calculated solely to try and create overlap between Venn diagram circles that weren't already. As it is, I'm kind of surprised they have the headphones over his actual ears.

What's kind of ironic about the Senua's Sacrifice sequel is that part of what made the original game so memorable was that it was done on a very cheap budget using basically parlor tricks and cheating to make it look expensive. There was only one actual human character model and everything else was faked using FMV and physical actors with a filter.

I thought more "Heidi" with a bit of "Dog of Flandern", but the style of these World Masterpiece Theater animes are all pretty similiar.

Can't say I'm surprised. With every major game publisher choosing to do their own event these days, like Nintendo Direct, E3 was increasingly less relevant.
E3 Has Been Canceled - IGN
After months of speculation and multiple companies confirming it would not be attending, the ESA announced today to its members that E3 2023 has been canceled.

I mean, did you even notice them if they weren't redheads?
On the one hand, I get it. E3's relevance has been fading in this modern age, in which it's no longer necessary to exhibit at a convention if you want to reach the press and consumers.
On the other hand, this makes me sad as another fond memory of my youth is consigned to the history books.

(This song lyric did not age well at all)
Any song about girls playing hard to get and/or boys having to pursue/hunt/insist can be (mis)read into aggression and forcing.

As we've all agreed in the past (every time "Baby, It's Cold Outside comes up), of course, it's really rooted in the lack of sexual agency provided for women in stereotypical relationship roles. If you have/want sex, you are NOT A GOOD GIRL.
Hence what "The Machiavellian's Guide to Womanizing" calls "The Big Lie."
The Big Lie is that women don't want sex and that you have to trick/coerce them into it.
The truth is they actually do, so you actually don't.
But you have to let them have the pretense to protect their image. It doesn't have to be a GOOD pretense, it can be the flimsiest thing ever. It just has to check the box of meeting the bare minimum of plausible deniability.
It was a very shitty way of dealing with a shitty situation. But it was gonna take a lot of people dying of old age before a woman was allowed to agree to (or heaven forfend, ask for) sex without being branded a slatternly hussy.
