I certainly recall seeing plenty of backlash when Tropfest’s rules were reported by ScreenHub last year.

JB in some of the Adelaide stores I checked were fresh out. Last I saw, the website mentioned the next shipment is due next week.

Here is her review, by the way. It's adorable.
In May '25, a beloved Australian games website was sold off. It went dark then, a month later, rose from the dead but stuffed full of gambling links and AI authors.
It wasn't the first time, or the last time, this exact thing had happened. And it's still happening.
My months-long investigation 👇
I watched the Digital Foundry analysis, and they *heaped* praise on the Switch 2 version
missile, the Pomeranian from ghost trick
Pombon, the fire starter from Pokemon Winds and Waves, who looks like an orange Pomeranian
Ready to continue my decades-long obsession with video game pomeranians
Two Pikachu in resort outfits from the Pokémon Winds and Waves reveal trailer
These Pikachu look like they’re about to tell their exhausted adult kids about how they’re going to open up their marriage to keep the spark alive
I thought the voice sounded familiar! Great work 💪
hell yeah, this looks incredible
dark mode vooks is perfection
Having not watched any of them yet, what are some of the opinions floating around?
I think there might be multiple videos / series about it. Noclip has a doco series on Disco Elysium, if memory serves.

look, you’re not wrong 😅
omg, adorable!
Mario Tennis Fever reminds me of what I liked about Kirby Air Riders; tangible differences in character and equipment selection adds a lot of fun strategy.
But Adventure mode frustrated me with its pseudo-RPG structure that completely lacked any player agency.
🎾 MARIO TENNIS FEVER aces everything except its Adventure mode, but Fever Rackets and a great cast overcome a thin single-player campaign.

Seconding this! Features are generally research-based, seeking various perspectives to build a story around.
If it’s general commentary from the author or still has an opinion element, that’s what I’d call a column.
They’re good photos!
As long as I remember to connect my PS5 to an Ethernet connection, it’s pretty good!
yeeeeaaahhhh booooiiii
I get a fair bit of use out of the ‘Popular With Friends’ tab, and look at Discover when I’m feeling particularly adventurous (or bored, lol)
I interviewed Edmund McMillen!! As well as getting some epic Mewgenics info, we chat about how BOI is selling the best it ever has, board game inspirations and if The Camdrome Project will ever return 👀👀
Grateful to @harrisonpolites.bsky.social for letting me talk about the state of @free-play.bsky.social and funding.

A downy woodpecker sits on a spruce on a sunny winter day. "Ahh... Febuary" it says. Close up on it correcting "Febrary" then "Febberary..." then finally "Frebrury"
