Death of the Reprobate is an absurdist comedy from Joe Richardson, creator of The Procession to Calvary. Using actual medieval paintings, this is a point and click adventure game that is absolutely hilarious and worth a try.

2015 might be the biggest and most important year for indie games. It was the first time that multiple major indies released in a single year. Developers and publishers established themselves. Several big Kickstarter games released. And studios would have critical success but financial flops that would force them to be sold later down the line. We are still feeling the effects of 2015 ten years later.

That's the key. With these ECs and the pardons, Trump's lackies are free to do whatever they want, using these as an excuse. If anything does happen to them, Trump made it clear he'll pardon them. and if Trump is scrutinized, he's got the SC on his side who just gave the president unlimited power. And if push comes to shove, he'll just pardon himself.

There is literally nothing holding him accountable anymore. Nothing and no one.

And it's day fucking 1! We still have (at least) four more YEARS of this!

I'm reminded of Trump's first term, when we all thought it couldn't possibly get any worse, and yet it always did keep getting worse.

It's one thing knowing it's going to happen, it's going to be something else entirely when it does.

It's like knowing you're going to die. We all "know" our day is coming, but we don't really appreciate that until we get old or someone close to us passes away.

 

Palworld has been out for one year now, and it feels like the game has been plagued by controversies. From accusations of ripping off Pokemon, an actual lawsuit from Nintendo, AI art, cryptocurrency, and a previous game from the developer still in early access, is Palworld itself worth all of it?

I want to live in a world where the EU bans Google, but we all know the EU will just roll over and accept this.

It was never about "theft." That hyped "theft" up as a cover to hide their own inept management.

 

I have stacks of games I buy and then never play, for whatever reason. This year I plan on attacking that gaming backlog hard. Will I be able to play all of these games? Will I get to even half of them?

 

2024 was a remarkable year for indie games and 2025 looks like it's going to be just as good. I compiled a list of 20 of my favorite upcoming indie games in the new year. Some of these I've had my eye on for years and am happy to see they're finally coming out.

 

I decided to plant some old potatoes and an onion to see if they would grow in the late autumn and early winter. We also take a look at some Christmas cacti, a giant Christmas tree, make some hot sauce, and play with Cam!

 

I researched hundreds of Kickstarter campaigns since 2021 to find the most successful, tracking how much money they earned, how many backers they had, their country of origin, and whether or not they've since released. What I found might surprise you! Or it might not! Or maybe you'll be mildly interested!

Harris' messaging problem is the same problem Hilary Clinton had in 2016. Instead of appealing to the base, she went after Republicans and just assumed the left would be on board. The Democratic establishment does this every time, move closer to the center and right and tell the leftists shut up and go away.

You mean the guy who kept Mein Kampf on his bedside table likes Hitler? I'm shocked!

Calling Trump a fascist just makes his supports love him even more.

What does Musk think Trump is going to do for him? Trump has said multiple times he wants to outright ban EVs and increase fuel production and sales. He hates public transportation, so he's not going to support The Loop. He's weirdly obsessed with space, sure, but Trump isn't going to give him money for SpaceX. Is Musk looking for a cabinet position or something?
