We’re Almost There... (April TarkovTV & Reflection)
(Intro) Nikita and BSG hosted a TarkovTV livestream on the eighteenth of April, and with it they went over what could potentially be the final roadmap before the game goes 1.0. Tons of updates, optimizations, quality of life improvements, and additions being brought in specifically from community feedback. Every month has something to look forward too which is incredibly exciting; it’s been a long time since I have been actively looking forward to updates for this game, knowing the fact that by the end of this year, we might be playing a full release version of Escape From Tarkov. Whatever that looks like. Either way, there is a lot to go over with this podcast, so let’s quickly break down all the changes and then just talk about this roadmap and the entire life of EFT as a whole.

The Dispel Specialist
"Magic is both the sword and the shield. But it can be undone by more of the same." - Grigori Imoff, Master Unmaker Magic is one of the greatest tools that can be wielded in any roleplaying game. Not only that, but the higher one gets in level, the more and more of it they're going to have to deal with. From spellcasting enemies, to foes wielding deadly enchanted items, to dealing with the lingering arcane forces that lurk in ancient ruins, magic is a constant threat that adventurers have to deal with.

4 Indie RPG Developers You Should Be Following!
Over the years, my interest in video games has slowly shifted from the AAA industry to indie games. I attribute this interest to indie developers having the will to try new things or create something retro. Lately, we've been experiencing an indie RPG renaissance with high-profile titles like Knuckle Sandwich, Sea of Stars, and In Stars in Time, all released within the last year. So, with all that said, I want to highlight four indie developers creating RPGs slated to release sometime in the future.

Is It Possible to Play Tarkov Wrong?
(Intro) Video games are designed to provide a very specific gameplay experience. And Tarkov is no different. The goal of EFT is to provide the player the ability to use real world military gear in an environment where they can fight other players, the game itself through AI, survive raids and complete quests to level up and unlock more usable gear for your character. The thirty second loop is cyclical once you get it down and understand the mechanics, maps and gear you are actively using. But something I always think about especially as Tarkov has gotten older with more and more features, is whether it was or still is possible to play Tarkov wrong. The developers have a goal they want you to achieve, and if you deviate from that specific targeted experience, I wonder if they would say that’s technically playing their game wrong. They want us to use lot of different gear, weapons and everything in between to feel as operator as possible while also giving us the highest chance of survival and success. While also struggling along in the process because it just wouldn’t be Tarkov if it was easy. And if a player was to intentionally deprive themselves of those assets, would BSG see that as playing their game wrong? It’s a difficult question to try and explain, but also one I found both profound and interesting because it goes beyond just the scope of EFT. There is an argument that any game from any genre could technically be played wrong, but today I wanted to specifically look at EFT in a vacuum and go over its systems to see if there are or have been ways people have worked against them intentionally. Whether it was to their benefit or determent.

Role-Playing Tips for Introverted D&D Players: Embrace the Game on Your Own Terms
Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) is a game built on storytelling, collaboration, and imagination. But for many introverted players, the role-playing aspect can feel intimidating—especially when you're sitting at a table with outgoing personalities or performing in front of a group. The good news? You don’t need to be a spotlight-loving thespian to enjoy rich, meaningful role-play. In fact, introverts often make some of the most thoughtful, creative players at the table.

Tarkov Added a Battle Pass in Arena and I Don't Know How to Feel About It
(Intro) Tarkov has introduced its first ever battle pass into Arena and there is a lot more going on here than I initially thought there would be. From new cosmetics for your character, to weapon camos being added, this pass has large implications across not only Arena, but potentially EFT as well. The patch notes are kind of overwhelming with how much information they provide us for not only how the battle pass works, but all the adjustments made to Arena itself. Patch 0.3 for Arena is also huge on its own, without even mentioning the battle pass. The fact they are still so committed to the product is commendable, and honestly, depending on who you are and who you ask, these cosmetics might be what get people to come back and check out the game if they already own it, or might get people to purchase it for the first time. There’s a lot to unpack with this patch, so let’s break it down, go over the notes, the battle pass, and how this is going to potentially effect the rest of the development for both Arena and EFT moving forward.
