Please do not harass anyone mentioned in this article for any reason. The Culture War Reloaded: Gaming's New Battlefront Welcome to ground zero of the gaming culture war - where pixels meet politics and everyone’s pointing fingers through cracked mirrors. In one corner, we’ve got ex-legacy media dinosaurs and DEI activists like Sweet Baby Inc., clutching pearls while playing gatekeeper. In the other?Developers, players, and creators just trying to make cool sh*t without pandering to woke ideologies and not checking twelve and a half identity boxes.From moral panic over “the wrong kind of representation” to journalists screaming victim while they plan harassment in questionable Discord servers, the hypocrisy is getting harder to ignore. Let's takes a flamethrower […]

What Happened to Pokémon Go: The Rise and Fall of an Icon

Pokémon Gone: How Greed, Wokeness, and Tone-Deaf Decisions Killed the Hype Once upon a time in July 2016, Pokémon GO exploded into the world like a Charizard with anger issues. Nerds, normies, boomers, college kids, and TikTokers alike were out in the streets chasing digital creatures. It was more than a game - it was a movement.In its first month, Pokémon GO had over 28.5 million daily active users in the U.S. alone, and raked in $207 million in revenue, according to Sensor Tower. It was the closest thing we had to a real-world Pokémon journey.And for a while, it was pure magic.But fast forward to today, and we’re watching a masterclass in how to take one of the most beloved franchises ever and run it into the dirt. 2016 to 2018: The Pokémon Go-lden Era The early years of […]

Schedule 1: The Drug Empire Sim You Didn’t Know You Needed

Alright, listen up, degenerates. If you haven’t heard of Schedule 1 yet, I’m about to ruin your productivity for the next few weeks.This absolute fever dream of a game is sitting pretty at #3 on Steam’s most-played list at the time of writing, and for damn good reason. It takes the already-addictive formula of management sims, injects it with an unhealthy dose of humor, wraps it up in an animation style that feels like Adult Swim met Breaking Bad, and slaps you in the face with a soundtrack that somehow makes pushing fictional narcotics feel like a religious experience. Welcome to the Drug Trade, You Scumbag The premise? You’re a washed-up drug dealer, clawing your way back to the top of the criminal underworld by doing what you do best—getting people absolutely hooked on increasingly questionable substances.But don’t get it twisted; Schedule 1 […]

R.E.P.O. Update Preview: Matchmaking, Overcharge, and More

Alright, let’s talk R.E.P.O.—the game that stormed Steam and somehow launched without a proper matchmaking system (seriously, how?). But hey, it’s sitting comfortably at #5 on the most-played list, and the devs have been cooking up some much-needed improvements. They just dropped a vlog detailing what’s coming next, and there’s a lot to chew on so let's break it down! Matchmaking - Finally, Some Convenience First and foremost, matchmaking is finally making its way into R.E.P.O. If you’re anything like me, trying to find lobbies through random Discord servers or third-party forums was an absolute pain in the ass. A game this popular launching without matchmaking was a baffling oversight, but at least they’re fixing it quickly.Soon, you’ll be able to queue up and find teammates without having to scroll through sketchy subreddits or beg your friends to buy the game.This […]

Gaming Media’s Selective Reporting and Weaponizing Controversy

Media Manufacturing Discourse and Sweeping Others Under the Rug Ah, gaming journalism - the noble profession where integrity bows before agendas, and headlines are more carefully curated than an Ubisoft press conference.Today, we dive into the strange case of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 and Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, two games with same-sex romance options, yet one got paraded around like the second coming of progressive gaming while the other got a footnote buried under a pile of Ubisoft PR fluff. Hans Capon: The Romance Option That Divided Gamers Let’s start with Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, the sequel to the historically immersive RPG that made “realism” its entire personality. This time, the developers thought, “Hey, let’s add a little extra...choice,” and in came the ability to romance Lord Hans Capon. While Henry was canonically straight in the first game, I personally didn't […]

R.E.P.O. Review: Where Unhinged Horror Meets Comedy Gold

If Lethal Company had a cousin that dropped out of college to become a stand-up comedian while dodging death at every turn, it’d be R.E.P.O. This game is another horror/online co-op looter fest in the same vein as Lethal Company, but what really sets it apart is its absolutely unhinged humor, frantic gameplay, and an array of monstrous enemies that want to send you straight to robot hell.So, let’s break it down and see why R.E.P.O. might just be the best chaotic horror looter game to bless Steam in a long while. What Is R.E.P.O.? Imagine you and your buddies are adorable little loot robots, tasked with scouring abandoned locations to extract valuable items for cash. Sounds simple, right? Wrong. Every step is an opportunity for disaster, whether it’s a misstep that shatters your precious loot into worthless dust or one of the […]

Assassin’s Creed: Shadows – A Missed Strike in the Dark

Assassin's Creed: Shadows—A Dive into Ubisoft's Latest Controversy Magnet Ubisoft’s latest Assassin’s Creed entry, Shadows, has landed - and with it, a tidal wave of controversy.From its historical liberties to marketing disasters, this game is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. But perhaps the biggest red flag is Ubisoft’s so-called "anti-harassment plan"—a move some see as preemptive damage control.Let’s break it all down. Was Yasuke an Actual Samurai? Let's kick things off with our protagonist, Yasuke. Ubisoft proudly presents him as an African samurai, a bold move that screams diversity. But hold your katanas - historical records about Yasuke are as scarce as a stealthy ninja in broad daylight. While it's documented that Yasuke arrived in Japan and caught the eye of Oda Nobunaga, the leap to samurai status is more speculative than solid. Some historians, like Yu Hirayama, argue that Yasuke […]

Happy National Mario Day! Let’s Celebrate Gaming’s Greatest Icon

Happy National Mario Day! It’s March 10th, National Mario Day, aka Mar10 Day—a glorious time when Nintendo fans around the world gather to celebrate the mustachioed plumber who has been jumping on turtles, saving princesses, and dominating the gaming industry for over four decades.Whether you grew up on the pixelated pipes of the NES or you’re speedrunning Odyssey in a fit of postmodern gaming mastery, today is all about Mario. So let’s take a power-up-fueled dive into the history, successes, and current celebrations of everyone’s favorite red-hatted hero. The Birth of a Legend: How Mario Took Over the World Before he was the face of Nintendo, Mario was just a plucky little dude in overalls making his debut in Donkey Kong (1981). Back then, he was known as Jumpman—which, let’s be honest, sounds like a knockoff superhero that never quite made […]

New Phasmophobia Bleasdale Farmhouse Rework First Impressions

Bleasdale Farmhouse is Getting a Makeover, and It’s About Time If you’ve been ghost-hunting your way through Phasmophobia since its early access launch, you’ve probably spent way too much time screaming in Bleasdale Farmhouse. Whether it’s because of that stupid attic ghost that never seems to come downstairs or the inevitable moment when you get hunted before you even find the cursed object, Bleasdale has been an iconic (and sometimes lovingly infuriating) part of the game. But now, Phasmophobia devs are finally giving this classic map a much-needed overhaul, and honestly? It’s about damn time. Phasmophobia: The Ghost-Hunting Juggernaut Before diving into the changes, let’s take a moment to appreciate just how Phasmophobia has pioneered and absolutely dominated the ghost-hunting genre.When it dropped in 2020, it didn’t just introduce a creepy multiplayer experience—it pretty much defined what a modern ghost-hunting game should […]

Is Monster Hunter Wilds Woke? Spoiler: No, and Here’s Why

Is Monster Hunter Wilds Woke? There’s a weird trend happening where every successful game gets hijacked by left-leaning ideologues who desperately want to claim it as one of their own. Monster Hunter Wilds is the latest victim of this nonsense, with some loud voices on the internet trying to push the idea that it’s “woke.” But let’s be real - this isn’t Dragon Age: The Veilguard, this isn’t Concord, and this isn’t some Ubisoft checklist simulator where the straight white dude is a bumbling idiot who needs a lecture from the stunning and brave female lead. Monster Hunter Wilds is just a damn good game, and any “woke” accusations being thrown around are people grasping at straws. The “Body Type A/B” Argument – Not New, Not Woke One of the first things the “woke” accusers latch onto is that Monster Hunter Wilds […]
