Go fish I’ve likely mentioned hitting Lovecraft fatigue so often that it’s now evolved into a second phase of Lovecraft-fatigue fatigue. This is not the same as Lovecraft refreshment, no matter how much I might want to return to the days before old one plushies and Cthulhu children’s books terrorised the internet en masse.

Curse words One of thebest roguelikes on PCis getting a farewell of sorts this week. Twitchy slashfestDead Cellsreceived its final major update, introducing new enemies, fresh weapons, and a few mutations. Unfortunately, all this new stuff is very cursed. In other words, it all toys with the game’s “curse” status effect, a hex that causes you to be killed if you take even a single hit. You’ll probably die a few times as a result of this update, which in some ways is a fitting finalé for this fast-paced jar smasher of a game....
