Is that a Trump "Tim Apple" reference? I wouldn't have even noticed if you hadn't called it out.

A goofy, Zucker-Abrahams-Zucker-adjacent spy spoof from France. Stunningly, the same director and male and female leads wouldater collaborate on 2011's Oscar winning The Artist.
Demo still doesn't actually seem to be on the store yet, if anyone else was looking.
Update: Hadn't been able to find it in the PS App but it is downloadable from the store directly on the playstation.
A while ago, like mid-to-late aughts maybe, it was in vogue to joke about Ben Affleck being a shitty actor. I haven't seen all his roles and granted I'm sure he's had his duds, but the existence of the Dogma parking garage scene was always evidence enough to me that he had the chops.
No judgement on his skill as a producer but Kinberg sucks as a writer from what I've seen of his. He strikes me as a studio-friendly hack, and this is a dumb move to keep the franchise "safe" rather than trying better to make it interesting.
I suspect he didn't remember what it was and took a gamble on the reporter's qualification that Johnson had voted against it and Trump opposed it, rather than sounding uninformed. Otherwise it's just an extraordinarily stupid thing to admit in this situation.
Many noted a striking similarity to the case of Savita Halappavanar, a 31-year-old woman who died of septic shock in 2012 after providers in Ireland refused to empty her uterus while she was miscarrying at 17 weeks. When she begged for care, a midwife told her, “This is a Catholic country.” The resulting investigation and public outcry galvanized the country to change its strict ban on abortion.
But in the wake of deaths related to abortion access in the United States, leaders who support restricting the right have not called for any reforms.
My country's aptitude for remaining entirely unmoved by preventable tragedies that utterly upend political trajectories in other nations has become one of our most globally defining traits.

"Are you a supporter of Hamas?"
"Are you a racist, violent person inciting violence against me?"
Yeah, what happened. They take it down?
So close to great. I wish more developers were making environmentally detailed, high production value, single player linear games like Callisto Protocol. Just that little bit better executed to round out the total package.
Oh, I meant to mention the map, I know a lot of people take issue with it. It's certainly unusual and makes hundred-percenting item collection challenging. There are some maze-like areas with different levers you have to pull in certain orders that I'm undecided if they were improved by having less information.
Definitely a point of contention though, to say the least.
I know the yard sign thing is dorky but I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss it. Feels to me like a helpful way to communicate to your neighborhood and community, especially to marginalized members, that there are people who care and are willing to help. That anyone who is feeling isolated is not alone, especially where there are homes flying fascist flags as there are in my neighborhood.
