In an industry full of terrible ticket buying experiences, it's refreshing to see AXS be so far ahead of their peers in just being the absolute worst.

A few weeks late, but finally pulled together my photos and thoughts on Produce Volume 4, the (likely) final wrestling show held at the White Eagle Hall in Jersey City. It was my most regular show venue, and I'll miss it. (CW: the show closed with a death match.) #wrestlesky #wrestling

It's me, I would like to see another bodyslam. Looking forward to seeing the number 1 promotion in North America according to Cagematch, and also finally getting to the 2300 Arena!

OMG. 29 years ago I put an Easter egg in Duke Nukem 3D Mac, that replaced two of the in-game posters with pictures of a couple plush animals I had. I never told anyone other than my wife about the code (DNGLENDA) and completely forgot I did this. 1/2

Also, the description is incredible and/or insane? (Definitely "and".)

Meat sacks
Player biology is fully simulated, from brain activities to hormone levels and everything about what constitutes you can be altered and augmented: feeling too weak? Get carbon nanotube muscle implants! You are too smart? Get a lobotomy right now!

Gender is a social construct, but in Hypernet Explorer gender is fully commercialized! Alter your starting gender via surgical, magical and hypercapitalistic means.

Enemies have over 80 different biologies with different limbs and organs to rip and tear to weaken the stats of your enemies! Cut off a vital part or organ of an enemy to get an instant kill.

Hypercapitalism oh!
Names are power...and money is power! And it happens that Mario Draghi's name is written over a billion times on 14.5 billion euro banknotes in pre-printing phase. This gives hypercapitalists who amassed huge amounts of euros huge arcane and political powers.

Invest in the OIL and SOUL stock market, buy real estate and squeeze rent from your tenants as you squeeze the black ichor of earth from deep oil deposits, burn your stock options in battle to summon powerful entities.

Scale every minigame and side activity with incremental games inspired mechanics: why settle for a measly greasy pizza place when you have an entire galaxy where to export the concept of "pizza"?

About This Game

Hypernet Explorer is an immersive-sim roguelike set in a weird and alternate 2001, where the Y2K bug shattered reality and erased most modern technology, that is slowly being rebuilt using magic and the occult.

Form a party to explore a 92 floor skyscraper that barely holds the cosmos together or just get lost in alternate activities; manage a cursed pizza place, become a certified tarot reader, date yourself from another plane of existence, start your own space program, get filthy rich by manipulating the soul market and... go bowling with your beloved cousin.

Every boundary that once separated religion, science, finance and magic is now obsolete so... do what thou wilt.

Sometimes you are shown a game trailer of such overwhelming scope and chaotic unrelated slices of gameplay that even if it only exists at 0.1% of what's being shown, it would tower over every other creative work released that year combined. Anyway, here's Hypernet Explorer:

Our trip to PDX last week had *everything*: last-minute Vince Staples shows, @swinku.co hangs, bible clubs, sad waterfalls, and celebrations of the Log Lady. Oh, and a lot of absurdly good food and drink. Nearly 1,000 words and 60+ photos of our trip back to the PNW:

Just looked at the numbers and if it helps, there's only three "recent" (1991 or later) boy bands who ever popped 1M+ on the first week: NSYNC (2x), Backstreet Boys (2x), and Limp Bizkit.

The more I ponder what Mary said here, I think it is VERY important for those who don't like this EVEN IF YOU DON'T STREAM and want to send a message to Amazon on where the Twitch community falls in the genAI discussion to go in their settings and turn this off. The metrics are what speaks to them.

They're showing the "Thanks World, We'll Take It From Here" ad for MLS *during halftime on the Apple TV broadcast* of Philly vs. RBNY. I don't have my name on the game ball, but I don't know, maybe advertise the league at people who aren't currently watching the product?
