I am a bad person for buying and enjoying Chocobo GP. Only in the year of our Lord 2022 could the physical act of walking into a shop and purchasing a game prove itself to be a moral dilemma. The upcoming Harry Potter game also looks to fit neatly in…

I stumbled upon VRChat at about the same time most people did, during late 2017/early 2018 and smack bang in the middle of the incredibly unfunny ‘Ugandan Knuckles’ meme’s meteoric rise in popularity. The game, at that point in time, saw a huge influx of players — mostly kids aping…
