Roadwarden (PC) Review
Text-based RPGs have never been “my jam,” as I suspect the youth would say. I didn’t grow up in what I think of as the genre’s “golden age” a few decades ago, so perhaps that’s why I’ve never gone out of my…

Astro Bot (PS5) Review
I wrote an article back when I first got my PS5 about how Astro’s Playroom was probably the best usage of the PlayStation 5 and its Dualsense Controller that I had ever seen. I really loved Astro’s Playroom, but to my surprise,…
TCG Card Shop Simulator (PC) – Preview
I know that no one likes hearing stupid background details of how I do things, but in my word processor of choice I just duplicated my “chapter” for Nokta Games’ Supermarket Simulator. Admittedly it is something you don’t care about, but I’m…
Supermarket Simulator (PC) – Preview
I’m a fan of the early 2010s brand of crap German simulators you’d find in the bargain bins of odd shops. I say this because from there you find the gems of Euro Truck Simulator, Gas Station Simulator, and all the other…
Linkin Park – From Zero (Album) Review
Linkin Park for me like many others was a foundational band. It shaped my youth and my taste in music for the rest of my life. I consider the first two albums to be the definitive soundtrack of the early 2000s and…
Gift Guide: City-Builder & Management Games
I know I certainly shouldn’t be placed in charge of building or managing anything more complex than a desktop PC, let alone an entire city, school campus, dungeon, small Caribbean country, or settlement that’s home to the last vestiges of humanity in…
Keiran’s Top Books of 2024
If I’m honest, I’ve been a bit “lazy” this year, managing only to find 6 notable reads that I was able to really say anything on. Quite frankly I don’t care and that’s the point of these articles, to just talk about…
2024 Albums of the Year – #5-1
It’s the most wonderful time of the year for me, that is. In this series, we’ll explore the 2024 albums of the year, a list of 25 records I believe to be the year’s finest. I love doing this annually for Phenixx…
Another Crab’s Treasure (PC) – Review
It all depends on your definition of a Souls-like, but Another Crab’s Treasure places itself among the pantheon of imitations despite lacking one of the defining traits of the genre. Released early in the year, Aggro Crab’s second game takes place down…
Lower Decks “Fully Dilated” – Review
Penis, bums, and willies, or are we just saying the double entendres are not intentional in an episode called “Fully Dilated”? Directed by Megan Lloyd again, I know before I see more than a minute of the episode that we’re going to…
