My 2020 Games of the Year
https://asininetech.com/2020/12/14/my-2020-games-of-the-year/
wrote up a few words about the games I enjoyed a lot in 2020
Hi, I'm packetcat!
I have been on the fediverse since April 2017 so it feels strange to be writing a introduction post but here we are.
I am a huge nerd who is into video games, competitive Overwatch and computer networking. I have a podcast with my amazing friend @chosafine called Shades of Brown.
I also have a couple blogs, Asinine Tech and Irreverent Space.
Last but not least, I run a IRC network called EntropyNet!

or they get relegated to a support studio status for EA's other franchises
EA, Bioware cancel Anthem’s sweeping overhaul
"The story of EA and Bioware's beleaguered action-RPG Anthem has apparently ended. According to an official Bioware blog post, the ambitious jetpack-combat game's "overhaul" project is dead. The staff that had been assigned to rebuild the game into a better shape has been reassigned to work on other Bioware projects, particularly Dragon Age 4 and the next Mass Effect game."

Report: Fry’s Electronics going out of business, shutting down all stores
"The Valiant ownership won’t change hands, but the end result was the same: the Valiant broke up their roster just over two months after signing them—and they found out through the tweet of a reporter."
this is a good read, the context about the LA Valiant for the first two years of OWL vs the one we have now is especially important
