One of us is trying to play new things. Chamberlain finished up Possessor(s) before moving on to Borderlands 4, which is somehow worse than Alex described but still digital crack. Chance tried Expedition 33, again, and dropped it, again, before playing more Silksong, again. And Alex played Dispatch, again, before playing Silksong, again.

There may be clues to game of the year recipients in the above paragraph.

Alex has returned, riding the Dispatch hype train. Heck, he was conducting it and tries very hard to pull everyone else on board. Chance almost gets on, as he is almost done with his most recent Fallout 4 playthrough. And Chamberlain doesn't even see the train. He is busy with another lower end metroidvania. This time it is Possessor(s), which he admits he is playing just because no one else is.

Chamberlain has finished Outer Worlds 2 and is reasonably pleased with it. It's no Avowed, but it scratched an itch, mostly because there were 20 points invested in guns. He also tried Bloodlines 2 so that you don't have to (and you shouldn't). And Chance was so stung by his buggy experience with Outer Worlds 2 that he retreated all the way back to Fallout 4 and will not return until his gauss rifle wielding smooth talker rules the wasteland.
