Welcome to another edition of God Rolls, where there are actual god rolls to be found given all the changes to Destiny 2’s Trials of Osiris, which have allowed me to bathe in glorious loot in that mode for the first time ever. But more on that in a bit.
What I’m Playing: Besides Trials? Caught up on Genshin and am trying to level Baal. Dipped back into Avengers. Previewing a new game this week I cannot talk about yet, but I am interested to play.
What I’m Watching: Just watched Malignant and Kate, a good and okay horror and action movie respectively. I’m about to sit down and watch my Walking Dead screener I forgot about. I missed this week’s Ted Lasso and I still don’t like that airing weekly instead of being a binge. Oh well.
So, what did you miss this week? Quite a bit going on:

Arkane’s ‘Redfall’ Leaks Suggest It’s Going To Be A Borderlands-Like Looter - The leaks looked bad because it’s pre-alpha test footage, but it comes with the news we may have another looter shooter on our hands, which you know makes me excited.
The Big PS5 ‘Wolverine’ Game Question - Lots of Sony news this week with their show, including the surprise debut of a new Wolverine game, which raises one obvious question about it.

My take on the story this week, where I genuinely don’t understand why we’re not telling Crow the truth at this point:
After a day of Trials farming, my take on how this suddenly became the best loot farm in the game:

Alright, and guess what? Evie is feeling better! She got an anti-itch shot and started two different antibiotics to quell infections. Still a ways to go, but no more cone!
