Oblivion Remastered: Bethesda’s Sneaky Nostalgia Bomb

Bethesda Stealth-Drops Oblivion Remastered Like It’s an Indie Game (??) So, in classic Bethesda fashion—where logic and timing are optional—they just dropped The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered outta nowhere. No hype cycle. No cringey Todd Howard on a livestream whispering, “It just works.” Just boom—new (old) game.Steam page. Go play it. Wild. This felt less like a triumphant return and more like someone trying to slide back into a party they Irish exited five years ago. Zero fanfare, just that awkward, “Oh hey, I’m back. You guys still like… gates to hell, right?” Image Source: The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered | Bethesda Softworks Let’s be clear—this isn’t some little “HD texture pack slapped on the corpse of a beloved classic.” This is a full-on remaster. New lighting engine, updated character models that (mostly) don’t look like melting potatoes, and that juicy […]

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 […]

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 […]
