The last few years have been a curious time for Sony’s PlayStation brand. Not only has the company’s apparent effort to “Americanise” itself allowed the Nintendo Switch to gladly and gleefully take up the ecchi baton from where the Vita left it, but it’s also seen a bunch of fantastic, stylish and highly enjoyable first-party […]Read More
There aren’t many things I’m happier to talk about than VTubers, especially Hololive, so here we are again in my happy place, but this time talking about some criminally underrated members, to go alongside our recent article on big-name VTubers from Hololive and beyond.

So here I am once more, this time recommending you a whopping 10 more wholesome titles to keep your mind occupied, refill your happy meter and warm up […]Read More

As we sink deeper and deeper into the digital age, more and more discussions are starting to arise on the subject of video game preservation — particularly how we might preserve those games that are only available as digital downloads on proprietary platforms. A few games come up quite often in these discussions, with one […]Read More
I’ll level with you, dear reader; idle and clicker games kind of baffle me a bit.
