Today, engineers are sending my lab 'priority' requests, asking for data analysis to be done before next week. Excellent timing, I would say.

Entered a small local college with no idea what to major in. Took a Physics class as a requisite 'lab science', and I got along well with the professor who ran undergrad research. That turned into grad research (at GT), a few years of Post Doc Hell, and then landed in the semiconductor industry.

Hey, hey! I've made my @rpgsite.net (and game critic) debut with a deeeeeep dive look at a game I've been anticipating for years: @somethingclassic.bsky.social's Quartet.
How does it compare to recent retro revival RPGs like Chained Echoes, Sea of Stars, and Eiyuden Chronicle? Let's find out.

Inspired by RPGs of the '90s, Quartet is Something Classic's proof that they've grown up and become more confident with age, and that there's room for continued growth to match their ambition. Our review: https://www.rpgsite.net/review/18986-quartet-review

I had a chance to play a new demo of Nioh 3 and chat with Yasuda and Shibata at Team Ninja. Check out my interview (and preview!)
The TLDR is that I'm here for more Nioh combat and bosses, and the Samurai/Ninja switching seems like a fun twist, but I'm not so sure on the more-open zones.

This game is really rad. It was in our top 5 RPGs of 2023. I hope they've polished up the localization a bit since then, though.
Wuxia RPG Wandering Sword will receive a PS5 edition on May 26, 2026. The PS5 edition will include all the DLC, as well as have full voice acting. The game first released on PC in 2023.

Lol if you are the type of person who thinks video game reviews should avoid discussing AI components or the BDS boycott or other development realities, then I'm sorry, you are a mark.

I am broadly curious about GTA6 and the overall response to it, but boy I'm glad I help run a website where I do not have to feign any desire to write about it.

I know why headlines are framed this way but IMO we should just say from MONACA. They have done a ton of things from numerous composers in varying styles.

Sometimes I fret about making embarrassing typos or mistakes in my reports at work. But then I see Square Enix make errors in their fiscal reports, and I feel a little bit better.

Caveating this by saying it's good to critique things you like, and I like Baldur's Gate 3 a lot. I just like it even more when companions don't treat you like a god and don't depend on you for everything

Sorry BG3, but The Outer Worlds 2 handles companion relationships way better
And sets a new standard for RPGs
