[Chromehounds lobby]Me: [chanting] mechs, mechs-Other pilots: Mechs, MECHSMechanic: [pounding her toolbox] MECHS, MECHS, MECHS!Hello! Apologies for the late issue, but this story came together last minute, on account of capital-L Life, and also because the subject is developing fast. Hopefully it's worth the wait!

A Spanish news broadcast showing DS3 Pontiff footage when talking about the new Pope candidates LMAO 😭😭 from r/fromsoftwareI consider myself an expert in the process of electing a new Pope. I am not Catholic, but I did happen to watch the 2024 film Conclave all of a month before the death of Pope Francis on April 21, and see no reason to doubt its complete and total accuracy.

PC Gamer's Wes Fenlon recently sat down with Stardew Valley creator Eric Barone to discuss everything from Jojamart to his next game, Haunted Chocolatier. One question was what Barone himself is playing, and the man is as old school as it comes. "Well recently I've been playing chess which is a great game," says Barone. "It's one of the original games, it's very deep, it's a really good game in terms of game design. It is unfortunate that AI has kind of broken it in a way.

Outside of cultivating the season's most profitable veggies or endlessly fainting in the mines, a lot of the time you spend in Stardew Valley is working alongside its townspeople.

Stardew Valley's fishing minigame gets a surprising amount of hate, whether it's because of how annoying it is to find all the legendary fish or because fishing minigames are a dime a dozen nowadays. But I've always loved it as a way to break up my farming hyperfixation, and it sounds like Eric Barone, the creator of Stardew Valley, is also backing this system.
