    D&D and chill.

    YouTube TV might be about to lose Paramount content.

    Unless YouTube and Paramount come to a last-minute agreement on a new contract, “after February 13, 2025, all Paramount content, including CBS and CBS Sports, will be unavailable on YouTube TV,” according to a YouTube blog post. “If we can’t reach an agreement and their content is unavailable for an extended period of time, we’ll offer subscribers an $8 credit,” YouTube adds.

    Paramount has a website about the potential changes, too.

    Hell is Us launches on September 4th.

    I’m not sure what the... heck... is going on in this new trailer, but I dig the weird and horror-y vibes of the game. It also has no map, which sounds intriguing and hopefully not terrible. It’s coming to PS5, Xbox Series X / S, and PC.
