These chips are near-identical to their 13th Gen counterparts, and I’m not entirely convinced they’re worth picking up just yet.

Slay the Spire developer Mega Crit has released a new autobattler card game called Dancing Duelists. The game is available for free on itch.io and features a cast of different characters, all with their own decks, who you level up between dance-offs with new cards and abilities.

While giving an enemy disadvantage on their next attack roll is useful, psychic damage is often resisted by foes—and its damage isn’t anything to write home about. No, what…

Habbo, formerly known as Habbo Hotel, went all-in on the Web3 nonsense in 2021 with the announcement of the Habbo NFT project in 2021. Its first offerings were Habbo Avatars, which quickly sold out 10,000 randomly generated NFT avatars, before moving on to NFT furniture and other cosmetics. You can see why publisher Sulake thought…
