Behind Every Game Are People
Today, everyone wants to express their opinion. And while it shouldn’t be questionable that everyone should have the freedom to express their thoughts, I can’t help but wonder: are people mistaking opinions for hatred and bluntness? This goes a long way for gamers and game developers alike.

This is how Fromsoftware ruined gaming for me
Among the games that we play, there are a few that we always talk about differently. In most cases, if you are older, those games are also older. For me, most of my favourite games are actually very old. For a long time, I didn’t have any new game that I considered as good as the old ones. Part of that was, of course, nostalgia, but part of it was the fact that games changed, and not all changes are good.

Style Over Substance: A Comprehensive Review of the FC 26 Team of the Year Event
The Cinematic Peak of the Season Meets a Mixed Bag of Content and Value After a lackluster preceding week that players jokingly referred to as "Time Folding"—an event so forgettable they wished to fold it out of existence—the TOTY has finally arrived in FC 26. As the most prestigious event in the football simulation calendar, expectations were sky-high. While the initial reveal has left the community in awe of its visual presentation, the actual substance of the card pool, SBCs, and gameplay systems has sparked a heated debate regarding whether the "grind" is truly worth the reward.

When Is a Move Final?
The Commitment Problem in Modern Chess Modern chess operates under a fractured commitment model that no longer aligns with how players think, how turns function in most games, or how chess itself is actually played across physical and digital formats. At the heart of the problem is that chess treats physical contact with a piece as binding commitment while simultaneously relying on a separate explicit action to end a player’s turn. This creates a logical contradiction: a move becomes final before the turn is over. In most turn-based games, interaction with game components is provisional until the player explicitly signals the end of their turn. Chess is an anomaly in this respect, and the inconsistency becomes increasingly visible in modern play.

The Boy Who Watched the Giant
I didn’t go for the stars. I went for my nephew. He’s eleven, wears his hair in messy curls, and talks about football like it’s a secret code only he and the ball understand. “You have to see how they move together, Tío,” he’d said, eyes wide. “It’s like they’re speaking without words.”

The Night the Stadium Felt Like Home
I didn’t go for the spectacle. I went because I was lost. It was my first winter in a new country. The language felt like glass in my mouth, the streets unfamiliar, the silence in my apartment louder than any noise back home. I missed the rhythm of my old life—the market vendors who knew my name, the neighbors who waved from their windows, the comfort of being understood without speaking.

Completing the Survival Horror Saga
Remakes are often more exciting news than brand-new IPs or even sequels, but when it comes to the Resident Evil franchise, it hits even harder for me. This is because I truly love the Resident Evil series from the bottom of my heart, and I have played almost every single entry in the timeline. Among the only few titles that I still have to play—which are mostly obscure spin-offs—there is that one specific, major game I have always wanted to play but never actually did: Resident Evil: Code: Veronica X.

From Battle Royale to a Global Digital Platform
When Fortnite first gained popularity, it was known mainly as a fast-paced battle royale game. Over time, however, Fortnite evolved into something much broader. Today, it functions as a global digital platform that blends gaming, creativity, social interaction, and live entertainment. This shift did not happen through hype or exaggeration, but through steady development and changing player behavior.

How Fortnite Became More Than Just a Game
When Fortnite launched in 2017, it was widely seen as just another multiplayer video game. Nearly a decade later, that view no longer fits reality. Fortnite has grown into a global digital platform that blends gaming, creativity, entertainment, and social interaction. This transformation did not happen overnight, and it did not rely on hype alone. Instead, it was driven by consistent innovation, community involvement, and a shift in how people use online spaces.
