So, I’ve been checking out Bungie’s new shooter, and honestly, while it got some good reviews when it launched in March, it hasn’t really taken off. I’m seeing way fewer people playing it compared to Destiny 2, especially on Steam. It feels like it’s mostly just us dedicated fans keeping it going right now.

I’ve been completely hooked by The Wonderfools, this new eight-episode Korean drama! It’s about a really charming group of underdogs who suddenly develop these strange, fun powers. Honestly, it feels like exactly what I needed after finishing The Boys – both shows are brilliant at making you care about flawed characters whose abilities come from a larger, somewhat dark secret (think of the Wunderkinder as the K-drama’s version of Compound V!).
