goal of the tournament, no question. woof.

Opinion: The PS5 and Xbox Series X generation has been a race to the bottom buff.ly/RFKva6J

60 hours later that's a 100% wrap on Silksong and I adored every single malicious, balletic, gorgeous second of it. beyond excited for the expansion(s?)

big fan of my daughter tbh

Persona. that's all.

this is the list equivalent of those "I'm a gamer not because I don't have a life but because I choose to have many" t-shirts

Patrick Dane's final piece for This Week in Videogames was his 2025 Game of the Year list, which he tackled with great enthusiasm and excitement. As an avid follower of live-service games, he was eager to make sure the standout titles in the space this year received their due. Thank you, Patrick.

Patrick was special. He was nicer than just about anyone in the industry, funnier, and probably more talented. As a boss, he was always patient and kind, but he also loved to share wisdom and lift others up. Pat, I'll treasure the time you gave us ❤️ www.dexerto.com/gaming/patri...

Patrick Dane, longtime games and entertainment journalist and News Editor at This Week in Videogames, has died in a motor vehicle accident. He was 34 years old.

Words can't even begin to describe this loss. Pat was a staple in my day to day. The constant Discord messages, him sending me whatever internet trend he was obsessed with at the moment, constantly trying to plan our next Destiny dungeon run, the list goes on...

sharing Patrick Dane's sister's post Instagram with her permission. if anyone would like to share memories and tributes (so many have said such kind things on here) please let me know in a DM and I can share Katie's email.

I've known Pat for a while, but over the last year, having accidentally gotten him and @olliecragg.bsky.social hooked on D&D, I had the pleasure of getting to know him a lot better and getting to talk to him daily and game multiple times a week.

I couldn’t have asked for a better friend. The hole Pat leaves is immeasurable but I am so very thankful for the time we got to spend together. The warmth, positivity, and humour that he brought every day was nothing short of spectacular. I don’t have the words to describe how much I’ll miss him.

The family of Patrick Dane has made public today the devastating news that their beloved son and brother was in a car accident on December 27th and is no longer with us. His father and stepmother, who were also in the vehicle, are in critical condition, but stable.

enjoyed a few things in 2025 (Blue Prince and Clipse's second LP in particular) but the real standout this year was, no question, falling in deep into DnD. some moments I'll never forget (some hilarious, some legitimately moving), and a group of immediate friends I've loved doing stupid voices with.

Wondering why everyone is suddenly talking about RAM? What's the big deal? @patrickdane.bsky.social speaks to analysts and hardware experts like @matpiscatella.bsky.social, @superhys.bsky.social, and Daniel Owen to outline why RAM prices are skyrocketing, and what this means for videogames.

it's me, the Paradise Killer liker, letting you know that Paradise Killer is free on Epic. if you like detective stuff and impeccable vibes go get it, it's a banger. store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/para...

don't claim it. doesn't matter that it's free. Don't.

get that bag werner

I would suggest everyone ignores the opinions of someone who wrote these words about an interactive medium without any caveats and under zero duress

I apparently have a listening age of 42. hell yeah brother.

We're taking a brief break between DnD campaigns as one of our players is gone, and we are going to run a one-shot or two over the next week or so. Open to new players who want to join in!

I will spend my hard earned adult money on this thank you

had always been a quiet hope of mine to someday give D&D a go, but y'know: old, child, no time, no group... probably wasn't going to happen. then it did, and now 7 months later it's done. I hope he'll ride again some day, but for now, my Leonin fighter with all his resolved guilt can rest.

I am currently just 29 subscribers away from 1k on YouTube. It's a big milestone for the platform as it unlocks the last bit of monetisation, and also big number! I cover all sorts of D&D stuff, and I reckon the videos are at least above okay, so you should subscribe www.youtube.com/@EnotheStrife

sex is great but have you ever completed a character arc in dungeons and dragons

Overwatch X Persona is about as laser targeted at specifically me as anything has ever been

Scott has been working incredibly hard on this behind the scenes and while I'm obviously biased, I highly recommend a sub if you want tech (and especially Pixel) real-life stories, opinions, and experiences from a seasoned vet (who is also a swell guy)

ahhh new deftones ahhhh

Finally got my review together, and I'm overall fairly positive on the Switch 2. It's a sensible, safe upgrade to hit generation, but Nintendo has still made some odd choices, as it so often does. www.androidauthority.com/nintendo-swi...

persona 4 yaaaaaay

Scarlet and Violet are genuinely transformed on Switch 2. textures are still rough as hell, but it runs perfectly. can finally enjoy it.

adding to the chorus of 'Blue Prince is GOTY' statements. I want to do nothing else but overthink every millimetre of it.

What are your four favourite films of the decade so far?

D&D is a good time, eh

There's 48 hours left to get Axyz at the launch discount! “Axyz is pure, raw, vibey-as-hell puzzle-solving. And its brilliance is in the simplicity of its premise.” 9/10 – No Small Games “Axyz is an engaging puzzle platformer with immaculate vibes.” 8/10 – Loot Level Chill
