Put the Fries in the Bag – The Alyssa Mercante Song

More Satirical Funsies in the Form of a Music Video Well, it happened again - I got bored and a video got made. This time,  the spotlight’s on Alyssa Mercante - ex-Kotaku editor, professional victim, and now the star of my musical roast that nobody asked for (but I had way too much free time to make). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1U337S8CbI Video: Put the Fries in the Bag - The Alyssa Mercante Song | ReportAFK Following up my songs about Hasan and Ludwig (embedded below), I figured it was only fair Alyssa got her own theme music too. Edgy, satirical, and about as subtle as a drive-thru speaker at 2AM, this was pretty fun to make ngl. Chorus TL;DR: Put the fries in the bag Moral of the story: Don’t start drama if you can’t handle the receipts. If you like this kind […]

All REPO Riddle Answers Explained: Update Theories and Clues

Solving R.E.P.O.'S Semisummer Riddles The R.E.P.O. devs have never been shy about messing with their community, but their recent riddles might take the crown for most confusing (and entertaining) so far from semiwork. After weeks of teasing cryptic fragments and strange video hints, we are convinced that the official answer to the puzzle is “Red Herring Monster Update.”But what exactly does that mean, how did we get that, and what could it tell us about what’s coming next for R.E.P.O.? The Riddle That Broke Our Brains The puzzle itself unfolded in pieces: scattered fragments, bizarre references, and a closing hint involving superheroes and lasers...I think. Naturally, players started chasing every thread, from monster designs to color codes.Eventually (after a bunch of jumbling letters around), the phrase “Red Herring Monster Update” emerged as the most likely solution. At first, it feels […]

Alyssa Mercante Cope Olympics Bad at Gaming

The Cope Olympics: Why Gaming Journos Can’t Admit They’re Mid

When I came across Alyssa Mercante’s recent article on Marvel Rivals at GameSpot, I honestly didn't know what I would be stepping into. I wasn't prepared to take the kamehama to the face in the form of roughly 1,100 words of pure and unadulterated cope.Her article, “Marvel Rivals Made Me Quit Competitive Gaming”, isn’t really about Marvel Rivals at all. It’s about how one failed ex-Kotaku editor decided that losses in a free-to-play competitive game weren’t her fault, but the system’s.This is the kind of mental gymnastics that has become invasive in modern gaming journalism. Rather than looking in the mirror and admitting, “hey, maybe I’m just mid,” writers like Alyssa weave elaborate narratives about toxic communities, unfair matchmaking, or oppressive design choices.But really, this is just the Dunning-Kruger Effect and self-serving bias dressed up as content. Dunning-Kruger and the Self-Serving […]

Cult of the Lamb Woolhaven Update Release Date and Expansion Breakdown

Woolhaven Expansion Could Revive Cult of the Lamb in 2026

Cult of the Lamb: Woolhaven - The Flock Finally Gets a Real Feast When Cult of the Lamb launched back in 2022, it hit like divine intervention. A cute little lamb leading a blood-soaked cult? Peak internet bait. It skyrocketed to over 61,000 concurrent players on Steam and became Devolver Digital’s golden fleece. For a while, it felt like everyone was either sacrificing followers, redecorating their shrines, or making memes about indoctrinating grandma. But here’s the rub: once the short campaign was done, the cult was…kinda of out of sermons. Updates rolled in, but most of them felt like IKEA catalogues disguised as DLC. Sure, my followers could now poop in new places, sleep in fancier beds, and wear an ever-expanding collection of skins, but after a while it was like getting gifted socks when you asked for a PS5.

Lost in Translation: The Rise of Using Fear and Anime Activism

Caution: Ideology Ahead! How Activists Have Invaded Your Anime You know what I want when I go looking up anime conventions? A list of dates, times, and maybe a map so I don’t end up in the wrong ballroom with a bunch of sweaty Pokémon card traders. You know what I don't want? A fear-mongering disclaimer straight out of a freshman sociology seminar warning me not to come to America because *gasp* the “current political climate” is just too scary! Liberal Activists Using Fear in Anime That’s exactly what greets you on certain convention-listing sites like AnimeCons and FanCons, which decided that before you even look up a schedule, you first need a lecture about how unsafe the U.S. is.

The War on Online Privacy: Act Now Before It’s Too Late

How Age Verification Is Eating the Internet Remember the internet before the ID checks, biometric scans, and "prove-you’re-over-18" pop-ups? Yeah, me neither.
