RPGs With The Most Interesting Magic Systems

by

I’ve noticed something really cool in a few RPGs lately – the magic systems aren’t just about bigger, more damaging spells. They’re way more complex! They can improve your character’s stats, and you can even mix different types of magic together to create totally new attacks. If you’re like me and love to really dive into how magic works in a game, these RPGs are full of systems you can spend hours figuring out.

Manor Lords Publisher Says No to Gen AI in its Publishing Contracts

by

Generative AI is rapidly becoming common in many areas, including gaming. This has sparked a lot of debate – some gamers are upset about AI being used in games like Call of Duty, while others applaud Steam for requiring developers to disclose when they’re using AI.

Trump’s SBF Pardon Flameout & the Great Crypto Gambit 🐘/PrivateEye:

by

Well, by thunder! The Almighty Donny Trump, him who plays chess with the devil and calls it a pickup game, has thrown down the gauntlet regarding Sam Bankman-Fried’s pardon. According to The New York Times (yes, that old nemesis of truth and coffee), our illustrious leader confirmed this during an interview on January 9, 2026-sounds like he picked the date to make history’s calendar scream “Legacy?” Please. He also praised his pro-crypto stance, claiming it fetched him votes. “It’s not my fault folks like crypto more than they like my golf courses,” he probably muttered while squinting at the camera. 🤡

Dogecoin: To the Moon…Or Not? 🚀

by

This Dogecoin, it seems, has had a rather spirited start to the year, jumpin’ around like a flea in a carpet factory – a 21% increase from a measly $0.117. They say it hit a high of $0.156. High for a memecoin, perhaps, but I’ve seen higher hills in Missouri. It had reportedly been lookin’ peaked, lost half its value from way back when, before suddenly perk’in up. This fella, Trader Tardigrade-a right mouthful of a name, that-points to some “Tweezer candlesticks.” Now, I ain’t no expert in readin’ candles, but it sounds like some sort of fortune tellin’ with wax. Seems they thinks it’s a sign of a bit of a rebound.

GameStop is Closing Hundreds of Stores In January 2026

by

As a longtime GameStop fan, it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster watching the company these past few years. They’ve really been trying to turn things around, bringing in new people to lead the way and expanding into things beyond just video games – I’ve definitely seen a lot more Pokemon TCG cards and collectibles in their stores. It’s sad to say, but they’ve had to close stores before, and unfortunately, it looks like even more will be closing in 2026. It’s tough to see, but I’m hoping they can find a path forward.

These games are different. While they still offer basic guidance like tutorials and occasional hints, they mostly let players figure things out for themselves. Success depends on your crafting skills, clever ideas, and ability to learn the game’s systems – it’s up to you to find a way to win.
