Is There Such a Thing As a ‘Fun’ Grind?
Last night, as the post’s featured image above may give away, I gained a promotion in Deep Rock Galactic. It was my first one in the game, achieved on my Gunner. To get there,...
Surprise Attack!
Every once in a while, a game (or game addon) releasing imminently comes to my attention seemingly out of nowhere. Often it’s simply the case it just wasn’t one of interest — until all...
