A slightly more self-reflective post this week:

Pathologic 3 is a story-first psychological horror that’s not hard to play — it’s hard to follow if you lose focus. Six hours in on PC (32:9 ultrawide), here’s my first-impressions review: atmosphere, performance, and early verdict.

Scholars blast Hogwarts Legacy for “manipulative nostalgia” and “shallow” politics—but players still flock to it like it’s 1998 🧙‍♂️
