The only game using Godot that I've played so far is Halls of Torment. Really love that game. Glad the engine is doing well.

Will this actually last? Is GZDoom dead? God I hope so. Would be so satisfying to see Graf gone permanently.

Ahhh, hardly anyone remembers the original TV show . . . and deservedly so! After the original movie, which at the time seemed almost as big as the original Star Wars, they did a TV show, which was actually not bad for a while, but sank deeper and deeper in cheese as it went along until I gave up. I don't know how it ended, or if it really ended at all as opposed to getting a sudden axe.
I saw the original 70s one when I was a kid, but only as re-runs.

Of course the DLC isn't on sale on Steam where I already have a copy of the game.

I loved most of the show, but the ending still infuriates me. They went through all that hell just to decide to live like cavemen (and why did Apollo get to make that decision for everyone, and why did nobody dispute his decision?), and the whole God thing was ridiculous. It just annoys me so much. I get that it's just a show, but the ending was just so illogical. Also, making Starbuck an angel was stupid. I can never watch that show again because of all that nonsense.

Anti-grav racer BallisticNG brings new tracks, enhanced online play and more for the final update

I guess I picked a good time to buy. It is fun but tough to get into as somebody who grew up playing F-Zero rather than Wipeout. Piloting the racers in this feels comparatively like trying to steer an oceanliner at transonic speeds.
Try practicing at Cassandra. That's the best track for learning, IMO. The 2159 version of the Barracuda Model A ship on the toxic speed class is a good way to get used to the speed. I'd run some speed laps around Cassandra in it, and then, after you feel comfortable, increase the speed class gradually over time. That's what worked for me anyway.

Kinda sad that development is coming to and end, but I can understand wanting to move onto new projects after so much time. I adore this game. It's THE game if you want a true spiritual successor to the Wipeout series. I can't recommend it enough. It's very frustrating that it's so overlooked.

Weren't they working on a huge Lord of the Rings MMORPG? I'm guessing that was quietly canceled?

Krafton (PUBG, Subnautica, inZOI) becoming an "AI-First" company

Cause this isn't totally going to end up being a disaster for their company that will likely get a massive number of their employees laid off, only for them to desperately want them back as AI runs their company into the ground.
