So while I expected Silksong to kick my ass, the Hollow Knight sequel has proven itself surprisingly brutal even for those who’ve beaten Team Cherry’s…
In a recent interview with IGN, Keanu Reeves offered a spark of hope that he may return as foul-mouthed rockerboy Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2, the currently in preproduction follow-up to Cyberpunk 2077. This is far from a confirmation, though, and the original game’s many ending permutations complicate the character’s potential return. Asked if he’d…

It’s a fair question, but having lost 1,000s of Rosaries to bosses, environmental hazards, and even just plain old enemies, I say yes—why not get some currency and buy some upgrades you can enjoy versus slaving away to gather a few beads…

Let’s play a game of “guess the US administration’s next trade war move”—too late, you lose (me too).
