    I'll never forget the time Chuck E. Cheese's advertised gourmet pizza under a ghost kitchen during quarantine. It was Pavarotti's or something like that. I remember thinking, "oh a new pizza place? Let me check that address." Felt really disingenuous to pretend it was a separate "gourmet" pizza place.

    That being said, more Tennant is best Tennant.

    I think Microsoft has near perfected flight sim. And with next year's edition adding even more seems crazy.

    I'd fully recommend the Hitman World of Assassination collection. I know you said you prefer first-person, but my favorite Immersive games are usually third-person haha. As for first-person, I fully recommend the STALKER series. Whichever one you choose probably has fans saying it's their favorite one as they all have something going for them. There's an amazing standalone mod called STALKER Anomaly, that's a great reworking of some of the series, but if you simply want to be thrown in I'd recommend STALKER CoP.

    I sincerely hope that the Vol. 1 means Vol. 2 will be MGS4 and others. I'd love to have that on a modern rig as it's my favorite one (don't crucify me). As far as the emulation goes, it's not perfect. Maybe I need to update RPCS3, but it still stutters plenty. There has been a revival of the online mode through modding, called SaveMGO and it runs incredibly well. That's if you can learn the game without getting dunked on by the people still playing haha.

    Hi, OP, if they like dramas based in the real world. Might I recommend Dopesick and Chernobyl. Then you have Billions, which isn't perfect, but somehow keeps me watching every year.

    One can hope. Just watched The Flash this morning and was wishing the whole time that I was watching Flashpoint Paradox instead. The budget really hampered Paradox's adaptation, but I think it helps the case of what a high budget DCAU movie could do. Hopefully, Gunn sees that with the Spider-Verse movies doing so well.
