So, things have been a little rocky in Final Fantasy 14 lately. The Dawntrail expansion got a mixed reaction, and we’ve been dealing with frustrating DDoS attacks and some delays with updates.

Skyrim is famous for its incredibly active modding community. Players have created mods for almost anything you can imagine, from simple graphical improvements to complete overhauls that transform the game into something completely different – some even turn it into a Pokémon-like experience! While Skyrim is fun to play on its own, after 14 years, many players use mods to enhance or change their experience. NexusMods, a popular modding website, currently hosts over 100,000 mods just for the Special Edition of the game.
Honestly, it’s kinda frustrating how easily we gamers jump to conclusions. We either get super mad about something small, or we completely miss important details, and end up unfairly hating a character. They’re usually not completely terrible, you know?

I’m going to talk about some characters who get way more hate than they deserve, even though they’re definitely not perfect.
December 2025 was a great month for Steam users, with several games offered as freebies.

While we wait for more giveaways in 2026, Steam still has a large and growing selection of free-to-play games, including Skybound, to keep players entertained.
Originally a web novel by South Korean author Chugong, Solo Leveling has grown into a popular series with both a manhwa and an ongoing anime adaptation.

The series hasn’t gained much traction there, likely due to issues with how Japanese characters and culture were portrayed by the author.
The Persona series has been very active lately, even though fans are still eagerly awaiting Persona 6.

The original Dungeons & Dragons game came out in 1974, published by a company called Tactical Studies Rules, which later became known as TSR. TSR was started by Gary Gygax and created not only the first version of the game, but also Advanced Dungeons & Dragons.

The popular series One Piece is now in its final story arc, and fans are anticipating some epic battles. This means the Straw Hat Pirates need to be prepared for even bigger challenges than before.
