AFK Arena exists

Today, I decided to publish my draft on AFK Arena, a game where you afk and chill, I suppose. Here're my two cents on it and why I don't like it.

Opinion on “Nazi Gamer?” by Frontal 21

Frontal 21 uploaded a new documentary about how Nazis are infiltrating the gaming culture but they're painting a very biased and wrong picture here. Here's my opinion.

MonHunLog #8 – We’re all about that cat!

Before we grind our way to our new power-up, we need to make sure that our furry friend has all the options available to them. Alas, Tammy is getting a whole bunch of new toys!

Alex Hutchinson is out of touch with reality

A lot of streamers on Twitch have been using music that they don't own or that they weren't explicitly allowed to use in their streams and now have to fear DMCA strikes and potential takedowns from clips and VODs that could be plenty of years old. Twitch is trying its best to mute those VODs... Continue Reading →

I’m not a gamer

So, yesterday, I made a post on a couple of topics, including toxicity, bad game design encouraging certain , "tryhards", the terminology of "being a gamer", gatekeeping and other stuff. My problem with that post was that it started with a question, then it suddenly branched out into three different topics and at the end,... Continue Reading →

2020 hasn’t been that bad EA-wise

2020 wasn't that bad when it comes to indie titles that left EA. While the world is going to shits, the gaming industry pumped out a fair few titles. Hence I thought I should maybe write a piece about a few of the games that reached their 1.0 his year and that I really enjoyed... Continue Reading →

Bloggers planting blog posts

For the past couple of days, I've been playing Viridi while working on different stuff, which was quite relaxing. Suddenly, an epiphany came to me as I had a very good idea involving different bloggers... and these plants. But first things first. What is Viridi? Viridi is a chill free-to-play game that I'd like to... Continue Reading →

The “To The Moon” Play-Along – Act 3

To The Moon! We've kind of forgotten about that, haven't we? Well, I haven't. I was just really busy... and didn't really feel like playing the game. Act 2 was dragging on for so long and Act 3 wasn't too surprising either and also felt quite boring so I stopped streaming the game (as it... Continue Reading →

Unlocking Lillia’s Haiku – a quick guide

Lillia is going to be next skirmisher-type jungler in the Rift. Today's post is a small guide on how to get Lillia's Haiku, an item that saves you 7800 BE and unlocks the champion for you on the next patch. But who is Lillia? Well,… I don't really know too much about her. She's a... Continue Reading →

This person rips off Indie Devs and gets away with it on Steam

There are good games out there… and there are bad ones… and then there are people that develop games for the sake of trolling others, wasting their time and money while ripping off other developers' content and making a quick buck off it without getting any repercussions at all from Valve's side. This post features... Continue Reading →

The “To The Moon” Play-Along – Act 2

"It's the second week of the To The Moon Play-Along and alas we're getting right into Act 2!", is what I would have said if I wasn't late with this post. Alas, an explanation: I was not at home to play the game and therefore couldn't write a post on this prompt. I couldn't play... Continue Reading →

Got too many games? Fear not, here’s more!

At this point, thirty minutes ago, StuffedWombat, the developer of Gutwhale, asked on Twitter what long term effect this 1000+ game bundle will have on the people that will buy games/that have big gaming backlogs already... and well,... here's my answer to that. https://twitter.com/wombatstuff/status/1271388336826048516 When I speak of "this bundle" I mean the Bundle for Racial Justice...

Late to the Party #3 – Assassin’s Creed

There are some games out there that probably everyone has already played or that people would deem "Classics". It's games that get spoiled constantly since everyone already played them… Games that are the milestones that started entire franchises and genres. Games that are so great that it's a miracle that I haven't played them yet!... Continue Reading →

To The Moon Play-Along – Act 1

Ever participated in a Group-Reading-Event? Me neither! But Naithin borrowed the idea and planned out this Play-Along event so I thought I'd participate and also discover a cute new game… and this time around it's To The Moon! So, during last Tuesday's stream, we started off playing through the first Arc of To The Moon... Continue Reading →

Arachnophobia intensifies – Venturing into the Deepnest

I've talked about my fear of spiders in the past before in this post and even in this one… but ever since I've visited that spider-convention nearby and had that tarantula on my hand, I have not really encountered any spiders in my flat. And apart from "Kill It With Fire", I haven't seen any... Continue Reading →

Steam – PLAY NEXT

Steam has gotten a bunch of updates that were quite neat. I love the "new" (it's not that new anymore) library with the dynamic and static collections, the new home screen, the updates being shown there at the front page as well as the fact that it all looks like a shelf where you keep...

Risk of Rain 2 – Revisited

A while ago, I've reviewed Risk of Rain 2 and had a blast, but since it got updated a ton over the course of more than a year now, I wanted to write about it again and… well… I recently got back into it again and had a blast, again. So, strap on for today's... Continue Reading →

Another look at Ring of Pain!

It hasn't been too long since we posted about our last look at Ring of Pain and there's already been a new updated demo for it. The last version was V0.8.21 while this one (got updated today, again) is already at V0.8.36, featuring a complete stat-overhaul and some UI-improvements, item effect changes and other updates....

Quantic Foundry Gamer Motivation Profile

A while ago... well... a few months ago, I should say, I was nominated by Frostilyte to participate in a new tag post thing. And then I thought I'd do it later... and then I forgot about it... and now it seems like a good day to post about that, so uh... here!  What's this... Continue Reading →

Just another post about Hollow Knight

I love Hollow Knight. It's a great game. And essentially I've been referencing it for a while now in my posts while playing it for fifteen hours already on stream. So, I tried to re-create my Avatar as a Hollow Knight character but didn't quite manage to do it and now I got this. Tadaa!... Continue Reading →
