I want to preface this by saying I have played a lot—and I do mean a lot—of farming simulators in my time. I’ve pushed through the good, the bad, and the straight up tedious. However, Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar has been the most fun I’ve had with a farming simulator since I played Stardew…
There’s been an important update for Pokémon TCG Pocket’s upcoming expansion, Wisdom of Sea and Sky, and unfortunately, it’s not a good one. After releasing previews of the set, it brought to everyone’s attention that one of the best cards in the set had been plagiarised. “It has come to our attention that there was…

After spending hours exploring the Statue region and then climbing up…
Itch.io appears to be scrambling for cover after credit card payment processors began pressuring it to remove or moderate its NSFW content, a move claimed to be at the behest of anti-porn groups like Collective Shout—an ongoing situation that’s been causing a huge turmoil over the past week.
