It was an unbelievable year for global climate.
As data is released in the first two weeks of January, you are going to be hearing all about these new climate change records. Apologies for all my graphs in advance!! 😬

Yeah I watched my brother play that game while I was heavily modding Kenshi.
He still plays every single Assasins Creed game and insists each one has innovative new gameplay and realistic stories…
I mostly remember basically every character in HZD having basically very wooden, barely passable facial animations and overly dramatic fantasy nonsense dialogue.
Like HL2 had better facial animations and dialogue in 03 or 04.
Oh well, I’m happy for Ashely Burch I guess.
My brother just also did not believe me when I told him I met her at PAX a decade + ago during the Hey Ash Watcha Playin? days.
HZD is a very pretty game, but not very interesting to me beyond that.
I would think that within the setting of the game’s pre apocalylse technologically advanced past it would make more sense to just use genetic engineering to resurrect extinct species (we have nearly already resurrected the the wooly mammoth by basically using recovered frozen dna samples and filling in the gaps with an existing descendant elephant) and modify existing ones, but apparently it makes more sense to continue strip mining metal and rare earth metals to make robo-animals.
???
I will agree the animations when talking were kinda stiff in Zero Dawn, but they definitely fixed that in Forbidden West. I liked it as a open world action/adventure, and appreciated the time that went into creating the world. With that being said I have 0 incentive to play the game over again since I hit level cap. As a sci-fi story, though, I really liked it and it sucks that Lance Reddick died because he voiced a pretty major character.
Based on how advanced the world was in Horizon pre-apocalypse lore I’m surprised genetic engineering was mentioned, but they do tie it all together in the story on why they went to robots. If you have the inclination I’d recommend giving it a shot yourself.
I met Ashley Burch at a Borderlands 2 event in Dallas about 10 years ago because from what I understand her brother wrote the story for the game, and she did voices in it.
You know I had heard that Forbidden West was better in a lot of ways but uh hilariously my brother made me homeless by royally fucking me over so I havent had a chance to play it yet.
-//Posting this on mobile in a motel halfway across the country on a burner phone because my bro engaged parental control mode on my phone by lying to TMobile amd claiming I was insane amd then lying to my friends and family telling them the same, all while using said parental control to stalk and harass me, and send me insane demands and gaslight me until I got the burner phone//-
Man good luck with all that BS, sounds like a crap situation to be in. At least you’ve found a way around the fuckery.
Well Ive lost everything I have ever owned, was at one point held hostage, starved and beaten by a fentanyl crazed madman for 5 days, and discovered that all of my former friends and family are too busy to help me in anyway, or more common they would prefer to gaslight and play devils advocate type mind games with me while I am starving and sleeping outside.
So uh… yeah. New game +, but I am older now. Oh well.
