This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

I've played thru Witcher 3 multiple times over the years, but never on a console because my PC has always been so much more capable. I picked it up for the PS5 Pro though, and I'm dang impressed. The game looks great with RT, linking to my CDProjekt account shared some save data, and PS5 controls 👌

I've been thinking about this a lot for obvious reasons over the past several weeks w/ Krukow's retirement, and I think this makes the most sense as they work through the future of Giants broadcasting. I know Javi, Hunter, and Sean all want to do Krukow proud and keep his style of broadcasting alive
