All the while maintaining your most impressive collection of freaks (cats) as they create offspring, poop in your house, and defend you from headless horrors rampaging the neighborhood.

Julian hatte ein wenig Schwierigkeiten sich bei seiner Vielfalt an Titeln auf nur einige wenige zu beschränken. Und auch wenn diese Season nicht so viele absolute Top-Titel wie die Winter-Season 2026 hat, haben es die ausgewählten 6 Anime trotzdem richtig in sich: Julian erfreut sich an abwechslungsreicher Animation mit Yuri zwischen Anime Girls und das trotz des Alkohols und Rauchens. Lukas hingegen freut sich über einen anspruchsvollen Titel mit guten Dialogen und sehr ausgefallenem Artstyle und Direction mit "Nippon Sangoku". Das Highlight der Season wird aber Witch Hat Atelier sein, das mit Fantasy, Hexen und Schreibwaren einfach auf Julian zugeschnitten ist. Dieser versucht Lukas auf den etwas untergehenden Titel des gleichen Regisseurs kurz vor der Veröffentlichung auf Netflix einzustimmen, "Akane-banashi". Die neue Re:Zero Staffel darf natürlich auch nicht fehlen, besonders freuen sich die beiden aber über die Fortsetzung von Dorohedoro, die endlich nach sechs langen Jahren erschienen ist! Grotesk, überraschend und einfach richtig gut!

Find out how we can work together ➡️ https://www.permissiontopaint.co/coaching ⬅️ In this episode of Paint Rest Repeat, I'm joined by contemporary Australian artist Korynn Morrison for an honest conversation about how to find your unique art style, develop your creative voice, and trust the art process when self-doubt, comparison or overthinking get in the way. Korynn shares the story behind her layered “excavated landscapes”, how identity, motherhood, postpartum depression and major life change shaped her work, and why finding your style as an artist is not something you can logic your way into - it happens by making the work, staying open to experimentation, and following what keeps calling you back.

(Hacker voice) I'm in. We're pentesting the mainfraime this week with 868-HACK! A small-scope puzzle-y rogue-y game by one Michael Brough: multi award-nominated IGF game designer of other similarly overlooked titles like Imbroglio, Cinco Paus, and Zaga-33. Michael's games were originally designed for iOS mobile devices back in the hallowed days of the early 2010s, in that bubbling time when roguelites were just getting their foothold. Listen in as we isolate the nodes, jack the creds, warp some viruses and dump them on the other side of the router. Think you got what it takes to hack the big leagues, kid, or are you one siphon short of getting point-attacked in the NCIS firewall?

Lost and Found Co. ist ein echtes Highlight für Entdecker. Was sofort ins Auge springt, ist der markante Artstyle und die enorme Liebe zum Detail – die Fülle an Animationen und die stimmige Soundkulisse erwecken die Spielwelt zum Leben. Besonders beeindruckend ist die hohe Interaktivität: Es macht einfach Laune, alles anzuklicken, nur um zu sehen, wie die Welt reagiert. Die clever versteckten Easter Eggs und die spielerischen Möglichkeiten sorgen zudem für ständige Motivationsschübe. Einziger nennenswerter Wermutstropfen: Die Charaktere sind leider nicht vertont. In den Dialogen fehlt dadurch manchmal das letzte Quäntchen Tiefe, was die ansonsten dichte Atmosphäre aber nur minimal trübt. Wer über die fehlende Sprachausgabe hinwegsehen kann, bekommt ein charmantes, kreatives und technisch sauberes Erlebnis serviert.

Definitive Ranking returns! This time around, we're putting a bow on our dedicated coverage of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and we are going out with a bang. We cover the good, the bad, and the ugly; the breathtaking graphics, the horrific story, the rock solid gameplay, the divisive level design, the soundtrack and if it hits, and so much more! Come play along, and as always, here's the criteria for the Definitive Rankings: World / Atmosphere (the vibe, the setting, the mood) Art Style (design of Samus, the enemies, the graphics in general) Story (what works, what doesn't) Pacing / Progression (are there any parts that really bog the player down, or is it still fun getting lost?) Gameplay / “Gimmick” (what new or different gameplay aspects we like) Items / Abilities (how are the powerups and are they cool and practical) Areas (how does each individual area look, feel, play, etc.) Enemies / Bosses (are they fun, creative, etc.) Expansions / Powerups (are the expansions hidden throughout the world fun, creative, and enjoyable to collect?) Music (are we humming along?) Of course, all of these are subjective, and we're putting our critics hats on, but we want to hear what you have to say on Bluesky! Visit OmegaMetroid.com! Subscribe!
