A Game Journalist’s Checklist Before Crying About Difficulty Online

Your Easy Guide for Not Embarrassing Yourself Online So, you’ve died a few dozen times in Hollow Knight: Silksong or just lost another ranked match in Marvel Rivals. Instead of blaming your own thumbs, you’ve decided the entire game is just broken, the difficulty is outdated, and the devs should need to make games easier. But before you rush to file another 1,200-word “Why Boss Fights Hurt My Fee Fees” article, let’s pause for a quick moment of self-reflection. Welcome to the Game Journalist’s Checklist!  Feeling particularly altruistic, I've went the extra mile to help the modern games journalist with 10 handy questions you should ask yourself before embarrassing your chosen profession on Twitter. (Yes, today we’re talking to the "Alyssa Walkers" of gaming. Grab a notebook, because class is in session!) 1. Have you tried not button mashing and actually […]

Ghost of Yotei Phantom Sales and Manufactured Hype

Ghost of Yotei: Phantom Sales and the Manufactured Hype

When Ghost of Yotei launched, Suckerpunch and Sony’s marketing machine kicked into overdrive - gaming media proudly claimed that the game sold 1.3 million copies on day one, just barely edging out Ghost of Tsushima’s first-day numbers.On paper, that sounds impressive. But when you start digging into the numbers...something doesn’t quite add up. This isn’t about conspiracy theories or wild speculation. The facts themselves are suspicious enough to raise eyebrows. Between the supposed “insider” tweet that started the fire, the exaggerated praise from certain journalists, and the eerily consistent talking points across major outlets, it all feels like another case of what I like to call the Manufactured Hype Virus. The Phantom Sales Begin The story starts with a tweet from an account named Millie A (@millieamand). The post claimed, “Hearing, 1.3 million sold on first day for Yotei. Ever so slightly ahead of […]

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 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 […]
