New week, new topic, new chance to share what you’ve got going on in gaming :) I’d like to apologize for a lack of news posting, I’ve been under the weather recently but should return to form this week.

drop’s recs: Anything. It’s Steam Summer sale babes, get anything you want! Now is a great time to challenge yourself by picking up something you normally wouldn’t play but have some interest in, I can’t think of a better time than when it’s 50 - 80% off can you? Let everyone know what you picked up, tell everyone what you’re avoiding :)

    Splitting time between DiabloIV and FFXVI. Only comment about 16 is that it is WAY more “rated M for mature” than I expected. Far more than any previous title.

    I don’t know what mood I’d suggest people to be in for the first hour, but “giddy to play the new FF” isn’t it!

      It was literally rated M as far back as 2022! As for the series, FFIV has straight up genocide in the opening, Tactics is full of racism, many games involve fratricide/matricide, VII follows a group of terrorists, etc. The themes have always been there, we’ve just overlooked a lot of it.
