It's time to explore the small town of Possum Springs in Night in the Woods as a college dropout. Surely we won't stumble into larger, more unsettling plot in this game!

The stream is over! Things got a bit heavy while spending time with Bea. We also spent time at the church, met Pastor K, Bruce who's living in the woods, and played more Demon Tower. We'll be back with another stream next Sunday.

For now, we raided Eidolon Dragon who's playing None Shall Intrude. Check him out here! https://www.twitch.tv/eidolondragon

We've decided to give YouTube Shorts a shot. There are so many clips we have on Twitch, and thanks to the new editing tool they can easily be turned into a vertical format for export. Our first Short is from @silver_huskey's playthough of Night in the Woods.

We've finally nuked our Facebook page. The page was always an afterthought. It had the lowest number of followers and the lowest engagement. We were suppressed hard by the algorithm years ago. We kept the page going for the few fans who liked it.

With Zuckerberg following Musk, there's no reason to maintain our meager presence there. We deleted our Twitter account for similar reasons last year. We'll update our social media links and graphics to reflect the changes as soon as we can.

Happy Friday! What do you plan to play or watch this weekend?

We're on streaming break until January 12th.

Offline we're playing Metaphor: ReFantazio, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and Final Fantasy XIV. We're watching Agatha All Along, Batman Caped Crusader, and season 3 of What If?.

This is Drew's last article for us. He's retiring from Damage Control Blog to start the next chapter of his life. Thanks for all of the fantastic news, editorials, and reviews for the past 15 years. Another thanks for expanding our horizons to include livestreaming. Your unique brand will be missed!

We will also have contributions for 2024 predictions from @Dio_Senrab and @silver_huskey later tonight. However, we wanted to highlight Drew's final article.
