If you know any of my writing on this site, you know I’ve been just a wee bit critical of Dungeons & Dragons—while I did like the 2024 ruleset overall, I have larger structural issues that have more to do with Hasbro’s bungling of just about everything—and the idea of D&D as a whole stagnating….
If I were writing the big book of maintaining morale, my number one rule for keeping the talent happy would be: don’t threaten to take them to court. But those mavericks at Ubisoft have always done things their own way. According to Assassin’s Creed 4: Black Flag voice actor Matt Ryan (who played protagonist Edward…
“This is why we can’t have nice things”. Stenzek, the developer behind the excellent PS1 emulator DuckStation, has threatened to pull Linux support following issues with certain sectors of the community.

The best superhero TTRPG—ranked second in my list of ‘tabletop games I cannot stop yapping about at every social function’ next to Pathfinder 2e—is getting a new edition, and I could not be more excited to yap about it further. Alright, that might be a little unfair. There are plenty of good superhero TTRPGs out…

The Sega CD original is a Parodius-style shmup with eye-catching visuals and great music, while the Saturn sequel mixes things up with platforming sections and some amazing graphics. Annoyingly, Keio Flying Squadron 2 was never released…

Now, those who follow this list every quarter won’t find a lot of surprises here. In fact, since Pokémon Scarlet and Violet…
There’s even some heading for Switch 1, too! Nintendo’s quarterly financial report is here, and as usual, the company wraps things up by highlighting a bunch of titles we can look forward to seeing on Switch 2 (and Switch 1) in the coming months. Now, the last one of these that we saw looked super…
Crazy attach rates. Nintendo’s latest financial results are live, and the platform holder has confirmed Switch 2 hardware sales “exceeding 6 million units globally in the seven weeks after launch.” Switch 2 launched on 5th June and today’s Q1 financial report includes figures up to the end of that month. The stated figure of “more…
Pays tribute to the “vibrant underground C64 scene”, apparently. Retro Games Ltd has revealed that it is re-releasing its C64 Mini micro-console in a new black colourway. “The release is part of the ‘Back In Black’ campaign, a tribute to the vibrant underground C64 scene that’s quietly flourished since the 1980s,” says the company. “These…
