I personally am so grateful for the mass adoption of mechanical keyboards in the last ten years or so. No longer niche gamer devices, now everyone can enjoy the excellent feel of real switches bouncing underneath their fingers. One of the brands that started mine and many others obsessions here is Cherry and they’re back…
Every McCloud has a silver lining. Our fingers are crossed that Switch 2 will usher in a brave new era for Star Fox — come on, it’s been almost 10 years — but, if McCloud & co. are still otherwise engaged, at least we know that one of the series’ imitators will be making an…

Everybody in the Europa Universalis community has spent the last four months worked up about the (admittedly hilarious) glitches that have plagued EU5 since its release, but the real problem with the game is much deeper. I’m an EU4 veteran with 1,700 hours and a world conquest under my belt, and I can attest that…
