You know when Naked Snake has to painstakingly dig bullets out of his flesh at the specific direction of the medic in his earpiece? You ever...think about it?

In @merrittk 's second launch week piece for us, she contemplates the loss of local multiplayer and what it means for the generation that grew up after it was lost.

accessibility and disability reporting are going to get frequent play on the site, so we decided to kick it off with how the third party peripheral bans have affected disabled console gamers with this piece by @Super_Crip1994

The Souls Difficulty Discourse is not only exhausting, but it also fails disabled gamers by focusing way too much on the underlying, often brilliant design philosophies of Hidetaka Miyazaki, writes @Super_Crip1994

The pitches I've received so far are personal essays, so here's what I'm telling them: Go beyond personal essay! Draw from your experiences, of course, but go broad across the canon or deep into the character. Don't focus on you! Flex a little. Get weird with it.

site runner @FloppyAdult liked Blumhouse's first game, Fear the Spotlight, quite a bit. read his impressions from SGF 2024 and why it might be a good starter game for folks who are normally too scared for modern horror.

We're sorry that @FloppyAdult has chosen to play Kingdom Hearts on stream. He is a valued member of the team and will be greatly pitied. We all hope he will stop playing it. As a member of a small, reader-supported website, he has to know this will not end well.

Modern misinformation campaigns are top of mind in today's political climate. Pentiment paints a familiar picture all the way back in the 16th century.

Despite some nagging visual crowding and camera issues, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is the year's biggest surprise. A self-contained, throwback, homerun swing from a major publisher.

"Easy Mode" is not the panacea some hope for when it comes to FromSoft games and accessibility, often because it would undermine the brilliant design therein. @Super_Crip1994 with another great piece for us.
