Obsidian’s latest RPG, Avowed, is out now on Xbox and PC (for those who pre-ordered the expensive fancy version) and it’s a really good game!

Overwatch 2 Is Running Out Of Chances, So I’m Glad It’s Finally Taking Some Real Swings
I never thought I’d become a lapsed Overwatch 2 player, but that’s what I’ve been lately. I barely touched season 14, and that lack of interest was the culmination of years of stagnation and broken promises finally pushing me away.
