The Final MHW Title Update Returns to the Old Monster Hunter World
“The Final Stand” is more than just another free title update for Monster Hunter World. It’ll be the last free title update. That makes sense! It’s been about a year since the Iceborne expansion injected new life into the game. And we’ve gotten a score of major content drops since then.…

Death’s Door Tells a Tragic Tale of Limitless Life
I don’t think I can do this. In one of the final battles, I’m forced to use every piece of equipment in my pockets in a desperate attempt to match the pace of this boss, and I’m failing. It’s a lot to manage at once! He’s summoned up an arsenal…

Intimate Space: The State of Queerness in Mass Effect
In Mass Effect’s vision of the far-flung future, humanity has integrated into a galactic society. Long gone are the otherings and dissension of modern-day Earth, as humans take their place in the stars beyond. At least, that’s the future it posits on the surface. In practice? Mass Effect is an…

Dragalia Lost, the Less Horny Gacha from Nintendo, is Winding Down
Dragalia Lost, the Nintendo published gacha, is shutting down. Or at least ongoing service for the game is ending at some undetermined point in the future. Technically that’s always been the case. Nothing lasts forever, but the development went and made a statement about it today. That’s… never a good…

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is Going to Find Massive Success in a Post Elden Ring World
This week’s episode of Thanks for the Knowledge features an amazing roundtable discussion about Overwatch 2 with resident expert Kenneth Shepard and lapsed player Mike Williams. I thought the discussion did a great job of explaining exactly why you might be excited about the new information Blizzard just dropped and…

Game of Thrones Season 8, Episode 3 Recap: “The Long Night”
What if Lord of the Rings had been a horror movie? What if the heart-stirring charge of the Rohirrim had been a fiery midnight ride into pitch blackness? What if the women and children hiding in the caverns behind Helm’s Deep had been torn apart by shrieking ghouls? “The Long…

Revisiting Inglorious Basterds in 2022
Content warning: as we discuss a movie expressly about the nazi occupation, this piece (and the embedded podcast) carry a content warning for violence, anti-semitism, racism, and really, everything related to nazi Germany and the holocaust. We’re going strong through Spring Fling Month here on You Love To See It…

I Tried to Understand ‘Cottagecore’ with Sims 4
I’m old. I’m not like old old, but TikTok scares me and my back hurts a lot of the time. Born in 1989, I’m a solidly middle of the pack millennial, which, to a young person, makes me basically ancient. I’ve come to terms with this. I’ve made peace with…

In Players, Coach Braxton is the Reason to Stick with the Series
Mild spoilers through episode 4 of Players ahead: I didn’t expect it, but I really fell into Players, Paramount Plus’ mockumentary series about a floundering League of Legends esports team. I’m not a League player, I’ve never been particularly interested in esports (beyond speedrunning, if that counts!) and mockumentaries have…

The Prince of Persia: Sands of Time Remake Can’t Shed Its Orientalist Roots
As a kid, I watched my older brother play The Sands of Time with fascination. I heard familiar names and saw recognizable architecture. Its historic setting reminded me of oral stories about Asia’s dense history of empires and our past generations arriving from Central Asia. As a Muslim immigrant kid…

I’m Not Irrational for Believing Pokemon Should Be Better
It’s a little hard to quantify exactly how toxic the Pokemon discourse has gotten in the last four years. Despite the games breaking sales records with each new title, there’s been an ever-loudening dissatisfaction with their quality and ambition — a dull roar that has only gotten more intense with…

BioWare Won’t Be Showing Dragon Age 4 Again Until Next Year
Over the weekend, BioWare participated in the officially unofficially Dragon Age Day, which is basically the equivalent of Mass Effect’s N7 Day, but for the studio’s fantasy series. While the day was a mostly light affair, with some of the big reveals being new statues of characters like Varric and Solas, fans of the…
