Baldur’s Gate 3 is getting rave reviews from everyone, sweeping award shows and being called the Best Game of 2023 by multiple publications. And it’s really not hard to see why.

Five Warframes You Should Definitely Try in 2023

There are way over 50 Warframes in Warframe now. With so many to choose from, it’s hard to decide where to start. Luckily, here’s a small selection of genuinely great Warframes that you should definitely try. Citrine Citrine is a pretty new frame, obtained by playing the Mirror Defense mission on Mars. She’s easy to get and she’s actually a damn good frame. Citrine’s abilities give her both damage and protection, as she can passively heal you, grant you damage reduction and give you a large chunk of status chance. Her little crystal turret is cool as well. She does… [Continue Reading]

My Favourite Cooking Channels

I like to cook. Most of the time, I cook twice a day, for lunch and for dinner. In the mean time, I happen to watch a lot of cooking channels as well. While I don’t always follow the recipes these channels post, I do use them for inspiration when I don’t know what to cook. That being said, I find myself always missing an ingredient or two. Anyway, here are some cooking channels I recommend. Barry Lewis Barry Lewis is a cook who does all sorts of weird stuff.

Return of the Obra Dinn

I seem to have a habit of abandoning games due to frustration with the core gameplay mechanics, giving it another go 5+ years later, and only then getting completely hooked. It happened with Just Cause 2, World of Warcraft, Stardew Valley, ARK Survival Evolved, and now it’s happened with Return of the Obra Dinn, Lucas Pope’s latest bureaucracy-themed indie game. Set on an 1800s ghost ship that mysteriously returned to dock with none of its passengers or crew aboard, the player controls an insurance inspector who boards the vessel tasked with learning the fates of all 60 missing persons. The core… [Continue Reading]

Five Pokemon You Should Consider To Have as a Buddy

In Pokemon GO, you rarely walk alone. There’s always a buddy Pokemon by your side as you walk around. But what is worth walking around? Here are some options. Magikarp You can never have too much Magikarp candy. Even if you’ve managed to complete the Evolve a Magikarp task in Mew’s special research, the fact that you need so much candy is always still there. After all, you need to power up your Gyarados as well. Gyarados isn’t the be-all and end-all of water types, but it is a very strong water type and it has a Mega Evolution, which… [Continue Reading]

Just Some More Cool Small Youtube Channels that I’d Like to Recommend

A while back, due to writers’ block, I recommended a bunch of Youtube channels. The idea was to showcase smaller channels because, frankly, my recommendation feed from Youtube is too busy. Youtube always wants to recommend channels with huge numbers of viewers. Sometimes though, a smaller channel will slip through. And sometimes these channels catch my eye. Learning Curve The first channel I’d like to recommend is Learning Curve. On this channel, we are treated to various interesting science topics, such as Brown Dwarf stars, the biology of bees and strange paradoxes. Oddly enough, this channel is quite new to… [Continue Reading]

5 More Short, Free, Low-Poly Horror Games That Are Worth Playing

My last two articles on short, free, low-poly horror games published in August and September. And now the finale is publishing in November, meaning I completely missed the correct month for spooky articles. Oh well!

Not the least of which because you get a shotgun! The player character is a ranger searching for a coworker who went missing while responding to a camper’s SOS. Accompanying you is… [Continue Reading]

Perennial – A Free Bite-Sized Horror Game Worth Playing
