I recently had the pleasure of interviewing Benjamin Ree, director of The Remarkable Life of Ibelin, about his project—which follows the well-documented life of Mats ‘Ibelin’ Steen, a World of Warcraft player with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). DMD is one of many muscular dystrophy conditions, and is considered to be one of the most severe,…

Giving up freedoms and privacy for a mirage of promised safety is very 1990s-coded. So, with this in mind, it seems like an apt moment to talk about Ricochet’s continued struggles with the 1991 period piece Call of Duty: Black Ops 6. Players have a pretty rocky relationship with Activision’s anticheat software—mostly thanks to its…

Stardew Valley is all well and good, but these smug farmers would have nary a field to furrow if it weren’t for the true origin point of the global economy: blacksmiths. Without some guy with a hammer, agriculture wouldn’t have any of the tools it needs to keep itself going. No scythes, no hoes, no…

Nothing gets you into the spirit of the season like gingerbread, and the recipe for a Gingerbread House in Disney Dreamlight Valley is surprisingly easy. This 5-star dessert requires 5 ingredients, but these can be found around the valley. Be it through foraging, farming, or Remy’s pantry, you’ll get your hands on the ingredients of…

Today I watched a trailer where in the first 10 seconds a ‘90s-style 3D model of a businessman kickflips a dolphin in slowmo over the flashing words “ASSET FLIP”. Such was the pull of this spectacle that I immediately went to Steam and downloaded the free demo of Spreadcheat, a game whose opening gambit to…

Arcane’s second season is all done, which means an end to the series, too—though there’s been a whole heap of winks and nudges that Riot’ll be cooking up more seasons of stunning animation with Fortiche in the future. For now, the current debate is whirring around whether the season happened to be ‘rushed’, or if…

Tinasha’s Mastery is the newest rocket-assisted sidearm to drop in Destiny 2, and if you played around with Indebted Kindness from Warlord’s Ruin, The Call during The Final Shape, or more recently, Aberrant Action in Echoes, you’ll know these weapons are a big deal. Tinasha’s Mastery is the first stasis rocket sidearm, and in what…

Sony has announced that Shuhei Yoshida, one of the first members of the PlayStation team and a major figure in the platform’s history, is to retire after 38 years with the company, 31 of which were spent on PlayStation. Yoshida joined Sony in 1986 and would find his first role with PlayStation in 1993, when…

World of Warcraft’s Mythic+ system, wherein players can time-trial endgame dungeons for a chance at loot and bragging rights, has been a bit of a curse and a blessing for the game since it was introduced. It’s been a blessing because, well, it’s become a massive scene—letting small-scale groups get all sweaty without having to…
