Holiday greetings, reader! It’s almost time to hang your stocking by the crackling fireplace and toss your handwritten letters to Santa down the chimney. If you don’t have stockings, a fireplace or a pen, sleep soundly. I’ve talked to Santa’s elves and they say it’s OK to hang a garbage bag from a George Foreman grill or your local equivalent and leave a comment on the RPS article instead. So you want to go to Wintermas? Extra garbage bags? George Foreman’s modern grill? Whatever it is, Santa will provide it. If he doesn’t, I’ll feed him to the Maw.
Not much noise this week, the last week of RPS operation for 2024, but I do have some last minute Christmas PC gaming candy for the banquet table. On Monday, December 16, it will be time to march through the streets of Neko Odyssey and photograph cats. Alternatively, sink your teeth in Idle colonyan extremely sinister fruit picking simulator. For Thursday, December 19, we recommend a VR game for a change. His Alien: Rogue Raid! I don’t have a headset capable of rendering these xenomorphs, but it seems promising. And on Friday, December 20, treat yourself to a weekend with Midnight crimesa sophisticated point-and-click game inspired by The Wolf Among Us.
There should be a few peaceful days as we prepare the treehouse for hibernation. Nic disappeared into the forests until the modern year aboard a sleigh pulled by orcs. I’m absent on Monday, following the conventional pre-Christmas ritual of using up leftover vacation time, as if I were scraping carbonized potatoes from a roasting pan. We’ll focus on scheduling events to post during the break, but at least that’s what I have one an article I would like to publish before Horace introduces us to cryostasis. Below you will find our last news blog for 2024 – Merry Christmas everyone!
The creator of Balatro is annoyed that PEGI (the European age ratings organization) has rated the card game for players over 18 years of age. They did this because it teaches “skills and knowledge used in poker.”
“Since PEGI rated us 18+ for having bad playing cards, maybe I should add microtransactions/loot boxes/real gambling to bring it down to 3+ like EA Sports FC.” joked the game’s creator.

Capcom is reportedly “focusing on reactivating dormant IP addresses.” press release intended for investors. This is essentially Capcom’s advertising for the recently announced Okami 2 and Onimusha: Way Of The Sword, but it also gives further hope to anyone praying for a Dino Crisis reboot or remake.

DING DONG MERRY CHRISTMAS ON MONDAY
One last fattening of the Maw before the snow swallows us. FEED – but in a casual way. There probably won’t be much news this week. As for me, I’ll talk to you tomorrow properly.
