To shut out the month, I completed catching up on the extremely enjoyable Star Trek Lower Decks. Finally, I briefly took a visit to the longer term with Cyberpunk 2077, which has some vibrant spots in its writing and feels prefer it could possibly be an actual good crime epic…however about 10 hours in, the bugs have been changing into actual annoying. I’ll give it a while earlier than going again.
