Mega Crit are working on three new Slay the Spire 2 modes, just don't place any bets on them all making it in

I've not had a punt at Slay the Spire 2 myself yet, I've been too busy coming up with an excuse for not having played the first one, but the general read I've got on it is "it's more Slay the Spire!"

Raise up the decapitated head of the goddess of love in a flower pot in the charmingly silly Tomak: Save the Earth Regeneration

I've never really been able to wrap myself around raising sim games such as the Princess Maker series. The framing of them feels like it could quite easily teeter over the edge into something uncomfortable, and in more modern entries such as Umamusume outright parasocial (and often exploitative).…

Linux has gotten a 3% usage bump in a month, latest Steam hardware survey suggests  - though, it's still miles off Windows

The latest Steam hardware survey cites Linux as accounting for over 5% of the install base. That's not a lot, and comes with the caveat of Valve's info gathering not being bulletproof, but it ia a good chunk higher than the OS's mark for the first two months of 2026. Read more
