Watched a clip of The Uprising, the is-it-isn't-it Robin Hood movie and fuck me, is it not shaky cam on steroids, it's practically unwatchable. I'm getting tired of this style of filmmaking, especially when it can trigger headaches or migraines for some folks.

11 years after launch, more witchers are now walking the Path across the Continent than ever before. Seeing so many of you set out on this journey for the very first time, or relive it once more, means the world to us. Thank you for putting your trust in us, all these years later. ❤️
Stream graph shows numbers of players over time for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. The graph spikes at launch in 2015, in 2016, in 2020, in 2022, and in 2023, but the peak comes upon Remastered's launch in 2026. Numbers across the top represent the number of current players, the 24-hour peak, and the all-time peak, all at 119,852.

“A novel about a destructive force that threatens the entire galaxy” - so this threat obeys the Kardeshev Scale and laws of physics, and somehow can destroy 400M star systems at the same time? Oh, it’s a space station with lasers, you say? Might want to tweak your book blurb a little.
