Two Deaths

By Edward Smith • January 9th, 2023

What I see I guess in all this are microcosmic pictures, metaphors, illustrations of how goddamn unknowable everything seems nowadays.

Dungeons & Dragons Third Edition

By Stu Horvath and John McGuire • January 9th, 2023

The great revival? A natural progression? Or something in-between?

Three Paths Towards Approaching Mental Illness in Videogames

By Kurt Grunsky • January 6th, 2023

These games differ greatly in their approaches, but each provides its own alternative to the more common portrayals and could be said to focus more on the broader theme of “living with mental illness.”

The mogwai Gizmo, from the movie Gremlins, with an exaggeratedly sad frown on his face. He's furry with enormous ears and eyes, the definition of "weird but cute."
