REPO Tumble Grab: How the Monster Update Changes Everything

What the Hell Is Tumble Grab in REPO? REPO has never been shy about tossing players around like ragdolls, but the upcoming Tumble Grab mechanic takes that chaos to a whole new level. In the October Monster Update, players tumbling through the air won’t just be helpless flailing meat sacks anymore. They’ll actually be able to grab onto the environment. That means walls, ceilings, weapons, even random objects within reach. It’s peak REPO physics turned all the way up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bhLiGf_2SN8 Video: This New Feature Might Break Our Game | semiwork Of course, there’s a catch...the new tumble Grab eats up stamina, so you can’t cling to every wall forever. Semiwork’s already said they’re treating it as a “twerk in progress.” That’s dev-speak for yes, this will be broken and hilarious before they balance it. And honestly, that’s probably the best part.

Extremists Feeling the FAFO: Jimmy Kimmel, Twitch, and Gaming

FAFO Culture is Hitting Extremists Like a Truck When silence is complicity, consequences follow. Charlie Kirk’s unjust killing detonated a political and media firestorm that’s now exposing how platforms, late-night shows, and game studios behave themselves...or don’t. Congress just yanked Twitch CEO Dan Clancy into the spotlight, Jimmy Kimmel just got canned from for running his big mouth, and game developers who thought they could joke about a man’s death are getting a firsthand look that FAFO is real and it's coming for the extremists.For the first time in over a decade, gamers everywhere are watching the scoreboard shift. The Spark That Lit the Fuse: Charlie Kirk’s Death On September 10, 2025, conservative activist Charlie Kirk was tragically shot and killed while debating at an event at Utah Valley University. The alleged shooter, 24-year-old Tyler Robinson, was eventually arrested and charged with […]

REPO Dead Head Mechanic Coming with Monster Update

REPO Adds Death Head Mechanic in REPO’s October Update

Fight Back After Death With Your Head in REPO Update Not gonna lie - it’s been a rough few days for me. I’ve been quiet here on ReportAFK, not because I’ve run out of things to say, but because I’ve been mentally drained. The death of Charlie Kirk hit me hard - not just because the loss of a young man who was a husband, father, and someone brimming with potential for the future, but also the sickening aftermath of deranged people celebrating his assassination online. But with the alleged killer in custody and some of the loudest psychos finally facing some repercussions for their vile online rhetoric, I’m trying to push forward. And I think diving back into one of gaming’s most surprisingly positive communities - REPO - is probably the right move for me. That being said, semiwork […]

R.E.P.O. Halloween Monster Update: Release Date, Details & More

Semiwork did it again. They dangled a riddle in front of the community, made us all scramble to stitch together fragments like conspiracy theorists with yarn boards, and then hit us with the punchline: the answer wasn’t “Red Herring Monster Update,” it was just...“Monster Update.” Yeah. I got baited.And look - I’ll own up to it. I thought I nailed it with the full phrase “Red Herring Monster Update.” In my head, the fragments we pieced together that formed a monster were actually the red herring, and maybe we were being led toward something wild (like a cyclops-type monster, especially after semiwork dropped that random superhero reference in a previous devlog). Nope. That's what I get for doom scrolling YouTube too much.Turns out the “red herring” was literally the red herring. Painfully obvious in retrospect, but hey, sometimes overthinking is part of […]

Wings, Landfall, SBI, and the UN: Games Meet Global Influence

Alright, buckle up. This one’s a wild ride through indie games, global institutions, and some seriously eyebrow-raising overlaps. If you’ve been following Gothic Therapy on YouTube, you already know the scoop: Take Us North (the "empathetic", socially conscious game about migration) wasn’t always just Take Us North.While being showcased at the United Nations, it went by the codename American Dream.

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.
