One of the best surprises of 2022 was the launch of co-op survival game Core Keeper, a mining and crafting sandbox for up to eight players. (...)
On November 10, Core Keeper is getting another update, and it's the biggest yet. The Desert of Beginnings is a sandy, scorchingly hot new biome being added to the underworld, along with a new sub-biome called the Molten Quarry. It's already looking like there's lots of new stuff to do and a fun new way to get around in the world: It has go-carts, y'all. Go-carts!

The Naked Gun is a great movie. Is it also a great approach to kitting out your weapons in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2? According to some players, the answer is "yes," and a new video shared by CoD YouTuber TheXclusiveAce does a nice job of explaining why.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is, for the most part, a pretty solid game. The guns feel good, the multiplayer is lively, and the Geneva Convention violations are rendered in eye-popping 4K HDR. But players still have a few complaints: not least of which is the game's weird, almost iPad-like UI design for its menus.

https://www.pcgamer.com/parasite-eve-rumour-is-actually-just-a-terrible-square-enix-nft-thing-and-fans-are-pissed/
A couple of weeks ago, Square Enix filed a trademark in Japan for the term Symbiogenesis. With the word's definition being the basis for the 1995 classic Parasite Eve, it drummed up hype that a remake announcement was imminent.
Oh, how silly of us to put so much faith into Square Enix in the year of our lord 2022, because sike! It's not a Parasite Eve remake at all. Instead, the publisher has unveiled a new "collectible art" NFT project. In a 30-second trailer backed by an utterly ear-splitting invasive song, Square Enix proudly proclaims "untangle the story" before revealing the logo for the project and its release date: Spring 2023.

Ever since The Sims 2, clutter has taken up the vast majority of my custom content library. There's never been enough of it in the games, which is why I'm stoked to see that The Sims 4 is releasing a brand new kit dedicated to nicknacks and doodads.
