Nothing tears you apart like trying to make a game.
If I don't pick up on the third ring, I'm not answering.

One of the most challenging parts of making soup is ensuring there’s a balance in what you’re creating. For those untrained or unfamiliar with the art, you might assume that simply adding more and more complimenting flavors would elevate the dish to something grandiose and hitherto unappreciated, crafting a brand...
There’s a part of me that wishes I had never played Disco Elysium. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a phenomenal game that’s groundbreaking in several ways: the character buildout and social choices, the dialogue and off-the-wall decisions, and the incredible replay value that comes from approaching different angles.

Trying to connect with a remaster of a game that I have zero prior knowledge of is an interesting task. Usually, you can compare against the original to really appreciate what is in this new version. Even with titles where I didn’t play the OG like Slay the Princess: Pristine...
Edmund McMillen has stolen weeks of my life, and I have let him. From the PC to my ill fated times on 3DS and iOS, and now my almost daily driver of the Switch, I have continued to play The Binding of Isaac for more than a decade, and I’m...
