Is it just me, or has this site felt a little less active than usual? Typically I’d see at least a few new threads popping up every so often, but there haven’t even been more than a dozen new comments made in threads during the entire day.

I don't understand why. Hopefully it's because the most active users around here are just playing video games in their spare time.

A few of the site's most prolific posters like Ryu and Rol seem to have disappeared, and it's that time of year when people are on holidays.

I've been doing my bit to try to promote discussion, posted several threads over the last couple days:

There's also the fact that there hasn't been much gaming news as companies tend to take a break from announcements over the New Years period.

Yeah it is probably due to people taking time away for the holidays and spending more time playing games.

Yeah, should pick up a bit in the coming weeks when people get back home and companies start making announcements again; we have a quiet period like this pretty much every year.

Requiem looks so cool, the next month and change are gonna go soooo slow haha.

Really curious to get a better look at how it performs on Switch 2.

That figures. I know that me, personally, have been a little less active recently because I’ve been sending almost all my time with family and friends (since 12-23).

Orbitals somehow skipped my Radar. Incredible art direction and execution. This will be the first 2026 game I'm interested in getting for S2:
