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

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.

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.

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 👀👀

How Freeplay, one of Australia’s leading indie videogame orgs, missed out on government funding How the group behind Parallels fell between the cracks in a grants process that primarily funds galleries and art festivals.

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"
