Welcome to another installment of God Rolls where I am girding myself to face a February of mammoth releases. Some things I’ve been playing a while already (Lost Ark), some things I am not going to get to until the day of (Horizon, Witch Queen) and some things are going to have to wait (Elden Ring). Oh and who knows I could theoretically have a kid born this month too? But probably March. Maybe April.
What I’m Playing: I have been playing Genshin frequently to gear up for a Zhongli pull, who I got this week and he is as good as everyone says. Besides that, I’m starting to bounty stack a little bit in Destiny because there’s nothing else to do.
What I’m Watching: 10 of 12 episodes through All of Us are Dead, the Korean Netflix zombie series that I like, even if it’s a bit bloated. Did that Kristen Bell show with the title so long I’m not even going to write it here, which was fine. The Euphoria/Demon Slayer/Attack on Titan trio is tonight, as ever. Oh and Righteous Gemstones too now, I caught up. Boba Fett had its Mandalorian episode this week which was great and shows that Boba Fett himself kind of sucks.
So, the recap:
Destiny

Other Games
New PS5 ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ Cover Art Spotted In Store Database, Release Imminent? - CDPR is actively putting new art in the PS5 store now so yes, things are happening for the re-release.
Meta Unwisely Kills Off The Oculus Name For VR Headsets Once And For All - This seems like a bad play when you have the most recognizable VR brand and everyone hates your stupid new name.
Sony Is ‘Safe’ For The Whole PS5 Generation, But What About After That? - I don’t buy all this “Sony is in danger” after the Microsoft ATVI purchase, but the longer term? They need to start thinking about where they go after this current gen.
The Best Use Case For Gaming NFTs Is One Publishers Like Ubisoft Won’t Discuss - The closest thing I will write to a positive NFT article, but mainly it’s about how the actual ideas right now are trash, and no one wants to consider one potential use case about game ownership.

This weeks TWAB was about some changes to reputation and Nightfalls that I think needed to go further:
This is me trying to figure out what Blizzard is going for with their new announced IP:
So is there really not gonna be a pre-Witch Queen live event this year?
Finally, some scratches:
See you out there.
