31.3.2023
I usually think “Soulslike” is a loaded term; FromSoftware’s legendarily grim and difficult 2011 role-playing game Dark Souls inspired a crowd of similarly grim, difficult games, but I don’t think any of those imitators can compare to the regal original. Except, maybe, FromSoftware’s other games...

The Super Mario Bros. Movie Is Flooding Everything ATM
30.3.2023
I look out the train. A bright red cap stares back at me. I step out of the train. A bus departs the curb, plumbers splashed across its metal body. I open my laptop. Seth Rogen isn’t singing the Donkey Kong rap, because that would be unbecoming, but he’s still feeding the beast.Read more
