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.

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.
