Disco Elysium is a famous game for very good reasons. But when it comes to creating a sequel, there are now five companies all claiming to be working on a spiritual successor, all with part of the original team. And they're all suing each other. Get your popcorn.

Ben Affleck (Batman) and Hirohiko Araki (JoJo's Bizarre Adventure) have both come forwards to complain about AI. The future of their industries is at risk, after all, so they have some personal stake in the matter.

Rats enjoy driving cars. When given the option to take a car or walk to a treat, even though the road is longer, the rats will gladly hop into their vehicles and zoom off to the supermarket. Hmm, just like humans.
