Clair Obscur is your 2025 #GOTY! Well deserved, #SandfallInteractive.
It’s ironic thinking back on #SquareEnix saying turn-based RPGs have no market. First #BG3, now #Expedition33 proving them completely wrong.
The players have spoken.

We all know 16GB is the new bottleneck. From the "Electron Tax" to unoptimized games, 32GB is the necessary baseline for 2026.
I wrote a deep dive on the technical drivers behind this shift and where PWAs fit in.

Rothschild’s lawyers got caught using #AI to generate a legal brief against #Valve. The result? 13+ fake cases and fabricated quotes from judges.
Valve exposed the hallucinations in a filing, and the troll's lawyers are now facing potential sanctions (and humiliation).

The new Steam Machine revives the 8GB VRAM debate.
Why do modern games demand 8GB+ VRAM, yet look blurrier than older ones?
The paradox: We need VRAM for high-res textures, but then TAA & upscalers make the final image soft. Ironic.

There's new drama about #Steam being a monopoly. While technically true, it really isn't. #Valve builds tools like #Proton while rivals prefer other "sketchy" strategies. Read more what I think at www.richardorilla.website/steam_monopo...

Look closely in the background: the "BOON/TOBIAS" sign.
That's not the only thing to look out for. Someone is about to get uppercutted onto the tracks. A true classic.

Remember when games came complete?
Mortal Kombat: Deception had over 400 unlockables. Costumes, videos, even entire characters... all earned in-game, not bought. This was long before the age of DLC.

One of my favorite things in Ultima V, aside from the great story, is the journey into the Underworld. It's a shame not everyone could enjoy the amazing soundtrack back then, but thankfully there are more ways than one to get that music into the game now 😉

Nintendo's controversial summoning patent specifically covers throwing an item to summon a character, which then enters a battle mode.
Clearly this is a targeted move against Palworld, which uses a similar mechanic.

I seriously underestimated GOG's modding support. It’s brilliant!
Their standalone, pre-configured mod installers make things so easy, providing a clean separation from the base game.
Pretty convenient when playing total conversion mods but wanting to have access the base game.
